I am renting a VW Atlas this week and am puzzling over this design choice.
I am not an airplane pilot, but if I were I think this display would cause me panic!

This is the best take on this episode (from "Fun with Kirk and Spock" children's book Star Trek Parody by Robb Pearlman)

See the Gorn.
The Gorn is tall.
The Gorn is green.
The Gorn is wearing a one-piece tunic with brocaded accents and matching gauntlets.
The Gorn is fashion forward.

For some reason I have accumulated a bunch of Ukrainian followers. I saw this statue today by a Ukrainian artist at the Blanton Museum of Art at U of Texas. I hope y’all enjoy it.
Slava Ukraine!

This GOP Congressman is so excited about the bill they just passed to cut Medicare / Medicaid that he needs a refill on his Viagra!

Numerical literacy test:
Whenever you see a Y-axis in percent, always ask what the change in magnitude of the denominator over time is.
Trump: Fail!
Andreesen: Fail! (And he knows better, or at least should)

I am celebrating tonight! It looks like the Final Four Voting (open primaries plus RCV) repeal initiative has failed.

Way to go Alaska!

Universal vote by mail is so damn cool! Every state should do it.

In these days of difficulty, we Americans everywhere must and shall choose the path of social justice… The path of faith, the path of hope, and the path of love toward our fellow man.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and cicl liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.

I walked through the FDR memorial in DC this morning. There are many important messages for today:

They who seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers… call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order.

There is a little smokiness in Seattle so I went to look what the data said. Then I accidentally scrolled way out and saw that the North American Arctic is on fire. Where's the news on this?

Beautiful new moon in Seattle, smoky red from wildfire smoke.
