We just learned that 6,000 companies have contracts with ICE. Not just a few hundred. SIX THOUSAND.

We have a lot of boycotting and demands to make, folks.

It’s true for a number of people, enticed by β€œthe American” dream; who get here and realize: this is it? I’ve made a terrible mistake.

The aurora’s ribbons of purple and gold,
Wash away the week's stresses, a joy to behold.
May your weekend be filled with love and light,
Bringing you peace, so calm and bright.

Tesla's 'Fleet' Of Unsupervised Robotaxis In Texas Appears To Have Been Cut From 8 Cars To Only 4 - Jalopnik There aren't very many cars in the overall fleet, either.

Dear Elon,

Hope you are well. I hope the inability to find jurors for your court case who don't hate you isn't weighing on you.

Anyway, just dropping you a note. Give up on taxis. Build self balancing ebikes, instead. It would be hit, I promise.

Take care...

I liked this horizon line with the heavy rain above the road, and waited for a while for a cyclist to go past. No luck did, so with the phone on the timer, I pedalled furiously up, then back and forth until I was sure I was in at least one image.

By this time the rain had moved a bit out of shot.

This is a macro nature photo I took of blueberries blooming. A green stem angles in from the upper-right corner and places the blossoms at the mid-left side. There's a cluster of five pink buds in the center and three white bell-shaped blooms surrounding them. In the blue-green background, the bokeh holds another cluster of bright pink buds to the upper-left.

Winter heals many wounds. Some of us think of hibernation as a hindrance, a stifling of progress, or a forced rest. But what happens when we take the time our bodies need to recover? We heal. For those of us with chronic illness, which is not an injury but a state we navigate daily, healing becomes a circle, not a line with a beginning and an end. We all carry these bruises, whether visible or internal, and it's important to acknowledge that we're each doing our best. I wish you all deep healing and comfort. This thought inspired my latest senryu:

crush of black
and blueberries
the bruises we heal

Photo of a row of seaside shops on a stone quayside. People are milling about. They sky is cloudy and a bit grey. The lower half of the image is a dark stone harbour wall.  A wooden ladder hangs down a long way to a boat or pontoon on the water.

Greetings from a small town in western Ukraine.

This calmness contrasts sharply with the night Kyiv had.
Another attack.
I barely slept, worrying about my son and Victory (still a cat) at home.

I adore seeing naked winter trees, especially silhouetted against the sky. It always moves me, moreso when I am travelling and the image isn't stationary. Something primeval, knowing the shape of the land, feeling my place in it, finding my way home by feeling it, almost in my bones.

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price
