A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

He had seen Tanzania, and most of Mozambique was already behind him. There was no mistake. Chippy had done what most chimps only dream about: He had caught the Perfect Vine.

Many years ago on Halloween night I scared the heck out of my cat as I was coming in the front door wearing a pair of wolf ears. She looked at me like she thought I had been a wolf all along 😭

Words are so magical. You have to be careful which ones you use, and in what order. Or things will go wrong

If I was an expanding gas
trapped inside a box made of glass
I'd rest for a while and say to thee
this
is the box for me
it keeps my shape how I want it to be

Even today, echoes of the fairs remain. Autumn craft markets, cider festivals, and county fairs still carry the hum of barter and the smell of hay. All remnants of a time when the year turned in music and trade. #FolkyFriday

Of course back in the day they didn't have the expression 'freakbeat'. They called us Odd Mod among other less pleasant things. I remember one promoter put us on as purveyors of 'Satanic sitar sounds' which meant the concert summoned all sorts of nutters. – Ray Ellis, bassist in The Dead Tides

i think people who have a hard on for Ai truly cannot understand that some people are just talented in the arts and have worked hard to become better at their craft. saying this to the creator of one of the best shows ever written is insane.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The shift in the media's language from "housing" to "affordable housing" to "workforce housing" is... troubling

This time of year, it is many young animals first time out on their own. Please be compassionate towards them as they find their way around your city or town.
