She instantly gave me her attention, even though I was using words she did not recognize.

And today in #warravagedportland, I saw an attempted murder! (Of crows.)
An attempted murder of crows. (There was a third crow out of frame on the left, but we’re quite adept at dismissing anything to the left of us, aren’t we? 🧐)

I ASKED GOD FOR THE MOON Natasha Oladokun I think it would probably kill God to give a direct answer to anything. And it would probably kill me to hear the direct answer. In this way God and I spare each other the awkward conversation, with both our arms shaking under this ashy rock that won't fit through my door— this thing he brought me because, drunk, I asked him to.

Now reading @adapalmer.bsky.social ‘s Inventing the Renaissance. Obviously relevant to my interest from the first paragraph. 📚🤓💯📚

I'm thinking we'll all have a lot of use for this gif I made at @emsetc.bsky.social 's request a few years ago...

I've spent a few hours doing a high-speed re-binge of The Good Place which (I had forgotten) was first showing last time we went into this particular darkness... and now there are some disturbing resonances...
The Good Place (s3e4) "In Jacksonville, I got a flu virus named after me..." The Good Place (s3e4) "... 'cause I kissed a bat on dare."

Citing the claim by Douglas Adams (1982) that out of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, "Most of the good bits were about frogs," I offer you this freshly-photographed frog as a ward against the incoming tide of disinformation. (📚🤓📚)

I'm just going to leave a bit of Discipline & Punish here for anybody wondering about the public spectacle portion of this Perp Walk in general...
(cc @jennpozner.bsky.social)
In these executions, which ought to show only the terrorizing power of the prince, there was a whole aspect of the carnival, in which rules were inverted, authority mocked and criminals transformed into heroes. The shame was turned round; the courage, like the tears and the cries of the condemned, caused offence only to the law. Foucault, Michel. Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (p. 61). Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. the punishment was thought to equal, if not to exceed, in savagery the crime itself, to accustom the spectators to a ferocity from which one wished to divert them, to show them the frequency of crime, to make the executioner resemble a criminal, judges murderers, to reverse roles at the last moment, to make the tortured criminal an object of pity or admiration. Foucault, Michel. Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (p. 9). Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

TixTox? I can see how that rebranding would be on-point for a new revenue stream of selling access to events and/or poison. In the future we can have a box office to monetize events like this... (#OnlyHalfJoking, ☠️)

I'm here for cats and snark; the swanning in gowns and professional security matters are bonus content. (#OnlyHalfJoking; I offer this photo of my cat as tribute.)
