4yr old: Sorry, I parted
Me: Do you need to go potty?
4yr old: No, sometimes I fart because I'm watching a great show or movie, or I'm having a great day.

One of my favorite Japanese jazz bands is Soil & "Pimp" Sessions, self-described "death jazz". It's probably the crimey-ist jazz I know.

Finished the steps to the backyard
alt text
A photo of a set of five small brown stairs leading down from a gray retaining wall. At the top of the stairs is a small, black chicken.
Last year we had a new deck, driveway, and patio built. It kind of changed the pathways into our backyard, necessitating these steps. Over the course of a couple days my wife and I built them. I’m sore and tired, but I think they turned out pretty well (and mostly level and square😅).
Wise move to let the chicken test them first.
excellent work!

A photo of a man wearing a mlkshk shirt and drinking coffee, the mug obscuring some of his face. In the background are trees with green leaves.
The temperature has dipped in Denver for the last few days and the back deck has been the best place for morning coffee.

We sent this as our invitation... in a tube. It's 3 feet tall. We have it in a frame in our living room and everything :). My friend, Brodsky, who is the bravest graphic artist I have yet to meet helped me crush the design. A friend of ours, Elke was a CD at an agency where she had these printed for us. We stuck them in tubes and USPSed them out for a couple of bucks each.
It was a wonderful wedding. We had $0 to spend on it. Most of the money wound up going to the New Leaf Cafe. They were in Fort Tryon Park in way north NYC. They hadn't opened yet, so we cut a deal with them using us as a practice event with a buffet with a pay-bar. We put goldfish in take home bowls on the tables instead of flowers. Heather found a gorgeous thrift store gown. We used the venues speakers with a random playlist and that was that.
A friend of ours who was a freelance philosopher and now teaches at Oxford, gave a dissertation on marriage that I cannot remember a word of because I was holding my new wife's hand and sweating in my suit jacket in the usual sweaty August of the city. Fuck it was hot. But that just led to people giving up the usual wedding stuffiness. A lot of clothes went missing almost immediately.
We gave everyone point and shoot cameras, called in a favor for some portraits and table shots. The photographer completely failed, saying "I've never been at an event where I couldn't get people to stop laughing long enough to take a group photo". He was pretty drunk when he said it.
We had a cake with Wonder Woman and The Tick on top that we brought. We had totally forgotten about it, but saw it when we started happily saying goodbye to everyone.

A billion congratulations, my friend. What a glorious artifact.
Yes much love, forever!!!!
That's just so lovely. Thank you for sharing!

A deep vertical shaft through dull gray rock. Lowering down through it in a bucket is a person wearing a construction helmet with a bright light on it. The light is illuminating a door in the stone wall. Hanging above the door is a small bathroom sign. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
then what's holding the basket up?

Big Basil Bed

A three-panel image of my basil garden. The bottom panel is a distant shot encompassing all of the large leafy basil plants and the lemon balm plants on the right.
The top left is just a top-down shot of their bushy leaves, and the top-right photo is from the side, with a tape measure sticking out above the basil leaves to show that the plants are about 30 or 31 inches tall at the highest.

Another bumper crop of basil this year!
I let the front two plants flower and flower without nipping any of it off until today because I felt bad about taking flowers from pollinators (we have other flowers, so I didn’t need to feel guilty), and although those ripped taller than the rest at first, they didn’t really feel like keeping up the pace since I let them bloom.
Since we were out of town for two weeks (and had a lot of rain) I only just now finished trimming all the flowers off all of them, and they’re beautiful. As you can see, at their tallest they’re about 30”-31” high now.
At the far side, past the anemic looking basil, are my thriving lemon balm plants, that are lower than the basil. Watering and mowing over here is great. Lemon & basil all the way!

This is impressive. I only have one basil plant on the deck but this was the first year I figured out proper cultivating and now have a nice bush.
@homerj Three cheers! 🍃🍃🍃
The firat year we had a basil jungle like this we made enough pesto (froze it into cubes) that we still have a few bits left these five years later. I recommend it. 😂

Shaming your high rollers is certainly a business strategy of some kind.
It me. And this would drag my ass directly into a bookstore if I was walking past. It’s impossible to be laser targeted so pristinely and not feel drawn in.
I'd say "it me" but I've given up all pretense that I'll only buy books at the same pace that I'll read them.
Halloween Nears

Looking through old Halloween decor I cam across these skull cutouts from Beistle. They are remakes from at least 50 years ago: https://www.beistle.com/vintage-...
In fact, there's tons of vintage Halloween stuffs going back 100 years here. Most of it is on Amazon too: https://www.beistle.com/holiday...

Halloween Nears is a term that can be applied from the day after Halloween. Every dam year.

A primitive rendering of a hammerhead shark in blue and pink on a circular black background. As much as a non-human creature can be said to express the emotion we call love, this work overflows with the emotion.
Today's favorite kid art in the 'to be framed' pile. I know it resembles an elephant, but it's a hammerhead shark. The tag says so.

London Heatwave

Current view of London after recent multiple heatwaves. London is the city I have spent the most time in outside of my own and I have never witnessed anything like this. I wonder if English grass is like Australian grass and can recover from this... but also trees instead of grass yeah.

It's really terrible. What is more sickening is that the Reform party who have gained quite a lot in popularity since the Tories imploded, led by Nigel Mirage, are all in denial about climate change, despite being presented with evidence and living through it.
As they are being funded by big oil, they are constantly banging on "Of course this happened it's Summer" etc.
However England generally has mild weather, I feel really bad for people in France and Spain who've lived in the same places for generations and are being displaced.
At least those governments are a bit quicker to respond action plans. France banned flights for private jets for a period of time.

Nigel Mirage 😂 France (and Austria) also banned short haul flights you could do by train in 2.5-3 hours and have reduced emissions.
Wow, this is Blackheath, I lived in one of those buildings on the left once. Amazing view, but of luscious green grass. I haven't seen anything remotely like this before. It's getting a bit parched in the North but nothing like this.
