It's OK to clear mature trees in Tree Town if you are developer, but all holy hell breaks out if you are trimming branches to clear a way to string fiber optic cable through any A2 neighborhood.
I mean homeowners come out if they hear a chain saw, and call the city. Back in the day you had to get permitting to trim trees. #priorities -

I was thinking of the school shooting in Thailand and having a private laugh, imagining Jesus there helping the gunman pull the trigger into all those kids and teachers but also Jesus helping all the kids and teachers that were getting shot. God has to be as responsible for the good as the bad, no?
And a magnet fell right off my fridge.
It's like, you can't find the time to give the shooter a stroke before the deed but you can fuck around with my fridge magnets, God? Laugh.

"The author of the Democratic National Committee's 2024 election #autopsy confirmed an Axios report that he concluded the war in #Gaza hurt Kamala Harris politically":
https://www.axios.com/2026/08/06/dnc-2024-autopsy-author-gaza
Many people who were opposed to genocide in #Gaza could not bring themselves to vote for #KamalaHarris whose position on genocide was and is terrible.

Maybe vertical drinking is a crucial aspect of British life, and it's appropriate for Downing Street to intervene. In the meantime, however, Number 10's howling silence about the climate emergency - amidst drought, fire and crop failure - continues. #Priorities

Your ability to walk, even with a frame, has declined.
You're put, against your will, into age care.
And told you must not stand up or get out of your chair without nursing staff assisting.
They use a hoist. You get bruised by being banged into things.
But you are no longer at risk of getting injured in a fall.
Is this a success?

Donald Trump harmed most people in the United States. This describes how Trump harmed people in California. Trump harmed people in other states in the same way: "An estimated 2.5 million older adults in California — those with Medicare stand-alone Part D prescription drug plans — could face higher monthly premiums in 2027 after the federal government announced last week it will end a subsidy that helped stabilize premiums":

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969) American general, US President (1953-61)

The Best Promise I Ever Kept Was to Myself
What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept? A while back I made myself one promise: stop living for work and start living for me. Turns out that’s one of the few promises I’ve actually managed to keep. Work will chew you up

How many seconds?
With the Pentagon requesting tens of billions of dollars, let's impose a bit of context.
BTW, how are you health care expenses?

I'm greatly a reader and writer. I'm also aging, and suffer dry eye/MGD, which make extended readng increasingly difficult. I don't expect this trend to reverse, though one can hope.
As reading gets progressively limited, I know I shall have to segue to audio sources to the extent they are available, and to the extent i can effectively and ethically (e.g. without feeding rapacious LLMs and gratuitously supporting big data centers) convert text to audio.
Meanwhile, I need to take more frequent and probably longer breaks. Unfortunately, physical exercise, e.g. walks in the woods, has grown far more difficult than it was a year ago. In this regard, I can hope for recovery over the next year, as I recover from medical treatments. Still, I will have to read less. Will this mean no more book projects? I haven't decided; that work, however, has been on hiatus. How about reading to learn, and reading for pleasure? reconnecting with old friends, written ones? This is important to me. How about going through the books, and the files, I inherited from my mentor Creighton Schwan? Many I've not yet cracked, even though he trusted me as his intellectual heir. Challenges. And i know, based on other surprises, that visual changes could hit suddenly. If this happens, I could painfully regret having punted these questions. -

2/3 So I mentally created a secret third thing and called it 'hobby treated seriously.'
For this, I:
- Protect my writing time like a pro
- Take writing retreats with my buddy
- Invest in tools (like Scrivener)
- Take days off work to write
- It’s not a job, but it’s not just a pastime eitherDo you have a hobby that demands this level of commitment?
