Gotta love Bette Midler www.instagram.com/p/Dayij3zRfx...

Instagram post by Bette Midler with a political cartoon. At left is an image of a house on fire. The house is called “quality of life” and the individual rooms are, respectively, labeled affordable housing, healthcare, good jobs,lower prices safe communities, and education.

In the foreground Trump stands with his hand on the shoulder of a shorter, pudgy man wearing MAGA gear., directing his attention away from the burning house. Trump says to the man: “oh look, a trans person!”

Very end of sunset with Venus in the middle. I think anyway. I’m not an astronomer.

My favorite work space during travel (Santa Fe on my way to visit family in Taos, late night working). Basically an art gallery space that doubles as a conference room (posada hotel), they let me work as late as I want so as not bother the fam

You know how there are truffle dogs that can find them for you? We have one of those except for cicadas (2 seconds after snapping this pic he shot over and snagged the cicada in the foreground)

My favorite new #orchid in the #greenhouse— Catesetum “Frilly Doris”

Orchid blooming in a terra cotta pot with holes. The approximately dozen large blooms are mustard yellow with pink spots

Grabbed some Pepcid at cvs and picked up the generic—which has this utterly useless red plastic top that obviously mimics the Pepcid cap but it serves no function. And admittedly I was confused when I picked it up from the shelf

A girl named “Apollo” is throwing a red kickball at a group of three other kids on a green lawn. The three kids—who are shielding themselves in anticipation of the ball being thrown at them—are labeled “random Internet users just trying to be comedic”

The red kickball is labeled “the gift of prophesy.”

So great to see @brianstraw.bsky.social today. A man at the epicenter of some serious history right now, exposing previously unthinkable prosecutorial misconduct.
