Haven't mained an M in ~10+ years, or any rangefinder since COVID. I felt it was time to right that wrong.

Red Columbine: A flower for Mom

Photo of Red Columbine flowers in a messy native plant garden
So, my mom died a couple of weeks ago. Partly why I have been even less active here than usual. But one thing I started doing was posting on Facebook photos of the native plants in my garden as a memorial. She really loved gardening, and it just so happens I started to get into native plant gardening a couple of years ago. Anyway, here's some Red Columbine. I'll try and post some more from the garden to keep up some activity here.

Screenshot of the Washington post editorial board with an opinion piece that says "You CAN earn a billion dollars. AOC has a low opinion of human potential"
https://bsky.app/profile...: "You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else."
A friend ran the numbers and assuming you're not paying taxes or rent, all you have to do to earn a billion dollars is start working full-time at 18 and retire at 67 and average an hourly wage of $9,811.61 throughout. Simple! What a hateful dummy AOC is!

It's amazing how quickly Bezos, whom I think of as evil but not stupid, has trashed the Post. Suggests that he doesn't view its reputation as particularly important to his goals at this point.
I pity these people who can only measure success in dollars. What a terrible way to live.
What about the human potential to ensure everyone is taken care of and able to flourish?

1968. It's by Kees Scherer, one of @joost's lot.
@bezt It's a great picture.
I looked up some of his work. Apparently he lived from 1928 - 1993. So pre internet.
This picture he took in New York is nice https://www.flickr.com/photos...

James Dean with bunny ears Echo & the Bunnymen Tour 1984 shirt, front & back
Old & dingy, much like myself, but wearing it to the SF show on Friday nevertheless.
I actually only listened to this show from the hall outside the theater—I think I both did not have a ticket (sold out) and was not old enough to attend (16). Let's Active opened.

be certain that you have a sharpie with you in the off chance that you get a chance to have it signed.

meme format from a movie in which Micheal Sheen dressed as a British aristocrat gazes down on everyone with a look of contempt and smugness, with the words "Gen Xers who kept all their physical media"
I have to laugh, there was no foresight involved but am happy to have saved all I had and have even bought more physical media:
a) CDs: Mostly did it because I drive a vehicle that still has a CD changer (and I was dragged kicking and screaming into a smart phone only after I had already owned it for over ten years) but damn am I glad now. Ordered a CD player for the house recently and it's been really nice.
b) Vinyl: Have a lot of power outages, want music when the power's out, and a record player can run off even a fairly small battery for a really long time. However, due to limited room it makes us super curate which albums to get, which has been an interesting process.
(not quite a gen X, not quite millenial tho)

Happy to say that when my hard drive failure a few years ago ate one third of my music, i was able to replace nearly all from hard copy.
That said, CDs are only slightly more archival than cloud services.

There's never been a better time to pirate stuff
I still regret the one CD and vinyl purge i did in the early 2000s, but now we have more of both than ever.
And relating to power outages, one project that i need to get back to is the battery- and solar-powered portable 78 player that i started. It's sitting half done in the basement somewhere.

black and white image of kids looking at the AD&D DM Guide with the caption Dungeons and Dragons: Just harmless fun - or sorcery?
I remember back when I played D&D, the guy who usually DM'd decided once to make the players chant a devil-worshiping spell, just because of all the Satanic Panic in the news.
We all thought it was dumb, but we were also very uncomfortable doing the chanting.
No demons were summoned.

This is funny to me. Just this week my wife took our 11 year old daughter to a Girls DnD event hosted by a local bookstore. Such a stupid moral panic.
Also, hail satan. :p

Picture does the 1975 reprint of Harlan Ellison‘s The Glass Teat. It is a compilation of articles that he wrote for the LA Free Press in the late 60s early 70s. The article that he wrote were social commentary masquerading as television commentary. But because it was Harlan Ellison they weren’t really masquerading.
Rough family stuff along with the state of our nation really has me in a deep funk. I needed a little Harlan to let me know that there arestill champions to be had.

title screen for Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels
Ungabunga!
When I looked this up I figured it was an anthology show and did not expect that Captain Caveman would be interacting directly with the Teen Angels.
I remember being in first grade and at thr end of the school day doing a wicked big "CAPTAIN CAAAAAAVEMAaAaAaAan!" and the girl next to me saying in complete deadpan "That's not funny."
Been like fifty years and I remember that clear as day. It's very funny.

Drinks await in a charming pub
A drink of Irish whisky awaits in the Olde Starr Inn, the 'oldest' pub in York (1663)
we used to have a summer apartment across the road from that pub. It was up an absurd flight of stairs. Lovely city, though you weren't going to get a Sunday lie-in with the Minster bells being less than 100 metres away ...
