Never turn your back to the ocean! 🌊😱
#beach #signs
Sign next to sidewalk along the ocean with seawall boulders and breaking waves in the distance: WARNING DEADLY SNEAKER WAVES Each year an average of people drown in this area after being swept off ROCKS or BEACHES by sneaker waves & rip currents. Be very careful when walking on rocks, and stay far back from water when large waves are present Watch your children and pets carefully! If someone is in distress in the water, call 9-1-1 and throw them this life-ring buoy. Report your location to the dispatcher as North Rockaway Beach Parking Lot Remember.... "NEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO THE OCEAN!" DANGER

Today’s @newyorker.com cartoon was so spot on! I’m the guy on the left, in despair over the illegal and unconstitutional shit that the Trump administration is perpetrating. In the face of all these Americans that think it’s no big deal.
A cartoon of two people seated at a table with a coffee mug between them. The one one the left has his head down on the table with his arms over his head. The caption reads, “Maybe try turning the mug around so its inspirational message faces you?”

This observation about trees in LA applies to so many other things.

Quote from NYTime article: “That was a shocker,” said Mr. Kent. “What I saw in Altadena was that if you were deep rooted, you survived. Native or not, it didn’t make a difference.”

The Guardian has started to prominently place their app download link in certain news articles. This one is especially fitting. 👏

@theguardian.com
Screenshot of news article from The Guardian with the following bulleted text circled in yellow by the author of this post: “Don’t let a billionaire’s algorithm control what you read. Download our free app to get trusted reporting.” The article headline is “Ex-Washington Post editor Marty Baron rebukes Bezos: ‘betrayal of free expression’” by reporter Anna Betts and features a photo of Marty Baron in a white shirt and dark navy blazer leaning against a stone pillar.

@nytimes.com Sunday Opinion section reflects our current reality: upside down and backwards. Proof that newsprint can still do things digital can’t.
#upsidedownandbackwards
#i❤️mysundaypaper
Newspaper on a wooden coffee table. The banner at the top reads Sunday Opinion The New York Times. A large photo illustration of a bald eagle takes up most of the front page. In the upper right, an opinion article title and subtitle are printed upside down: The New World Order. Farewell to the alliances and ideals America has long held? Bert Stephens and M. Gessen on Trump’s predatory presidency. The bottom left corner of the front page is folded back to reveal that the paper opens on the left (not the right) and the writing inside is upside down.

Our first visit to the local cat cafe. ☕️🐈‍⬛ Cats doing their aloof cat things. WiFi password: Toebeans. 🐾😊 #serenitynow
Living room-style space with a mix of chairs, couches, tables and rugs with big windows showing mid-morning light. There are four people in the frame, one seated on the floor to the left, two seated at a table upper left, and one seated in a lounge chair to the right. A gray and white cat is in the background standing on a cat furniture stand. There is a portrait of the gray and white cat on the wall next to the cat. Gray and white Maine coon cat seated in a cat hammock affixed to a window and looking to the left of the photo. Black cat with purple and green collar curled up in a wicker basket with a glass top.

To Those Who Serve:

I see you.

To those who fight the fires, who keep our food safe, who ensure a child learns to read. To those who inspect our bridges, safeguard our water, and search for cures to disease...

Thank you! This was the first time we’ve seen it on the beer list 🍺 But it’s been a while since we’ve been to Surly. (The THC-infused beverages were new to us, too, but not our cuppa tea 🫖)

Celebrating 24 years together. Finishing off a nice meal with a short pour of Cola Darkness, a Bourbon barrel-aged Imperial stout at Surly Brewing.

Happy new year from Arizona. 🥳🏜️🌌
This end-of-year getaway from the Midwestern gray days has been enormously restorative.

Used airline miles for a quick winter getaway to SE Arizona. This delightful Spanish-style B&B near the San Pedro River is just what we needed.

Finding philosophy on the back of a garment label.🧣
Garment care tag on a wool knit scarf that reads, in part: Remember: Washing only needs to happen after nights to forget. The rest of the time, your knitwear will take care of itself.

Coffee and books on a sunny winter day.

Sunlight from the right shines on a wooden end table on top of which is a green coffee mug on a woven mat, light brown reading glasses, and two stacks of books flanking a brown table lamp with a green, red, and white stained glass patterned shade.

McSweeney’s issue 76 has just arrived! And very visionary of them to select this theme.

Have I mentioned how much I ❤️ @mcsweeneys.net?

I didn’t expect to love this book. Van Halen was omnipresent when I was growing up, but I wasn't a huge fan. Such a great story of earnest beginnings. Inseparable brothers. The long grind to make it. Tales of life as a rock n' roll band. The coda made me cry. Read this book!

We ran out of sandwich bread, and I found some @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social whole grain bread mix at the back of the cupboard. Score! 🍞👏

Van Halen was omnipresent when I was growing up. Not a huge fan, but I was intrigued by Alex Van Halen’s new book, “Brothers”. A great memoir! Naturally, the bond between Al and Ed is the heartbeat of the book.

Quote: "All I had in my monitors when we played live was Al's drums," Ed has said. "A little bit of Dave's vocals, a little bit of mine, a little bit of Mike's vocals. But all I hear is myself and my brother." Alex Van Halen Brothers #kindlequotes
