Bruce Hornsby turns 71 today.
Of “The Way it Is”, he said: “I grew up in Virginia, and you could still feel the old lines — racial lines, economic lines — running through everyday life. The lyrics came from seeing those things .. I wasn’t trying to preach; I was just writing down what I saw.”

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.
Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

I need someone to study why you have to race to eat eggs before they become too eggy. WHY CANT I SIMPLY ENJOY MY SCRAMBLED EGGS AFTER BEING BRIEFLY INTERRUPTED?

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music
Do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

But you don’t really care for music

I CAN’T FEEL YOU THERE

SO MUCH MORE AWARE

Someone is going to have the write the thing about how “vibe” has become a substitute for meaningful theory in a world where the theory is so clear — grift and power — but we collectively refuse if because it isn’t sophisticated enough to generate make work for empiricists.

While my ancestors were here pre-revolution, I doubt this will touch on the indentured servitude that they were subjected to. This reeks of the elementary style oh the glory of colonization with none of the pain to the civilizations that were already here or the people forcibly sent.
Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.

The Venn Diagram of people ineligible to work for NWS and people who think AI models are ready for a full takeover of their forecast tasks is pretty much a fucking circle at this point.

A friend had a scab on her face that just didn't heal. First doc dismissed it as eczema. Second one checked it and it was melanoma. They cut a huge amount out of her temple that left unchecked would have killed her likely within a year. But she caught it! And shes fine! Just get checked!
TL;DR, get yourself screened for melanoma regularly so that if you get it, it's just a boring annoying scar and the only thing that changes is getting deferred from giving blood for a year, instead of the big scary C-word that is catching it late.

The South is far more purple than election results indicate, but you're not going to shift anything in any significant way unless you restore the Voting Rights Act and follow through with finishing Reconstruction.

Tesla employees passed around photos of the insides of customers' garages, footage of what they were doing inside/near their cars. The cars were OFF at the time, a nude Tesla driver walking past their car in the privacy of their own garage became a Tesla office meme

I drove out east to try and spy the aurora. My midwestern anti deer sensibilities won out though Jesus there were so many deer. It wasn't worth risking my car to try and find a spot not to mention it's like 35° and in true Florida fashion I am in flip flops and a light hoodie.
