Unpopular position: dislike 'spooky season' very much. Mostly because of loathing horror movies and horror in any genre. Life is filled with sufficient horror as it is.

The exception is Halloween cats -- I do love them!

Postmambo is still in the Middle Atlas Mountains.
Mountains in the distance. The sun has set. Only shades of blue and black.

Postmambo is in Fes.
TIL that the word oud is etymologically related to the Arabic word for wood, of which the oud is made. Wood, oud. Duh. Fes also introduced the world to the mathematical concept of zero via its university, but that’s another story.
Andalusí musicians in white robes with red fes playing, L to R, rebane, oud, and the 72-string kanoun.

The corner of Valence and Magnolia in New Orleans has been renamed for Monk Boudreaux. “I’m glad because at least they didn’t wait until I died.”
This calls for a party.

Postmambo is in Volubilis, a former Roman commercial center of 20,000 people that lasted some 400 years in Morocco’s agricultural heartland, now a partly excavated ruin on an abandoned hilltop. This mosaic on a patrician’s floor depicts a clown riding a donkey backwards.

But it’s good to know that the next president can just bulldoze the oligarch ballroom without any legal or regulatory rigamarole whatsoever.

The White House movie theater over the years. In the East Wing, demolition imminent. The first film screened there was D. W. Griffith's racist epic Birth of a Nation in 1915. Jimmy Carter watched 480 films there, the most of any president: letterboxd.com/jfrankenstei...

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.

Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.
Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid
The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to “restore law and order” in New York City.

This is so true. José Feliciano’s beautiful 1968 slo-mo “Star-Spangled Banner” at the World Series, which predated Marvin Gaye’s more famous version by 15 years, was met with a radio boycott of his single then climbing the charts and derailed his pop career.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.
