I invite you to pause, gaze, and enjoy a moment of meditation from nature itself. With alt tags, too. If this abstract photography moves you, let’s talk! I love placing my art out in the world, raising our collective vibrations one flower at a time. 🌸🌿

Yes. Love your soil and all the creatures who depend on it.
Leave the leaves be.

Some crazy numbers in this article about the volume of bigs a square yard of an unrated yard pumps out.

I think we will take the scientists’ advice and leave the leaves this year

Well, meeting extraordinarily cool and kind people around the globe by creating Beach Walks with Rox (and then getting 2.5M downloads) as one of the first video blogs, at the dawn of YouTube. I still love all of you! It was before monetization but one of my favorite life things!

I am not a politician or a journalist but even I knew she took a $25K donation from him to drop her investigation of Trump Uni way back when. How dumb can these editorial teams be?

I was curious so I went to see what is up with antifa.org.

It’s official! Antifa is not an organization.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

You’re welcome. I heard him speak years ago; so good. Then, I spent a day at the Legacy Sites & the next day in Selma. It changed me, and I thought I “knew all that.” I did not, and having it expressed as truth and history and art all together was extraordinary. The hotel was still being built. Go!

Today I wrote about why my law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump has launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

New Mexico is investing where it matters most — our families and our future. We’re the first state in the nation to offer free universal childcare and free college tuition for residents. Why bag when you can brag? #FlipTheScript #BraggingRights #OnlyInNM

if you work for a publication that does this and have any idea how much $$$ your outlet makes from affiliate sale commissions on prime day, DM or signal me: jason.404

also interested if you are a journalist who is asked to do these deal roundups as part of your job

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Good! We agree. I think many would read the post tho, as a version of “don’t worry, they are too dumb to get away with this” when they are getting away with this in real time. And the Democrats are not screaming in the streets and on the news.

My fear is escalating, as you can see.

Screenshot of an ESPN Monday Night Football interview, with Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes seated left to right. Reid is wearing a light gray suit, light-colored dress shirt, and red tie that makes him look like he's sitting in an unpleasant deposition. Kelce is wearing a relaxed short-sleeved button-up shirt with a whimsical pattern and a brown newsboy cap that makes him look like he's in organized crime. Mahomes is in a pink dress shirt, slightly darker pink tie, and dark-pink-and-white checkered vest that makes him look like a dandy.

In June I announced that I was retiring from NYU after 39 years, but I am not leaving the field, or the fight for a public service press.

Today I can explain what I meant by not leaving the field. I have a new job: president of News Creator Corps. Read on. newscreatorcorps.org/2025/10/news...

I joined up with News Creator Corps by putting two and two together… Allow me to explain. - News Creator Corps

But it is definitely NOT that anodyne! He has a SCOTUS that is endorsing it all, at least in the short terms. They allowed stopping people based on appearance. That is Fascism 101. We need to be more alarmed, not less, IMO.

The one gift article to read today, then, I cannot urge you enough, to visit the Legacy Sites in Montgomery, Alabama. Be more curious & courageous than the state’s own governor, and JUST GO. It will inform this present moment more than you can imagine.
