Intriguing sunset yesterday. The clouds look like mountains.

I do fancy a fried breakfast, but I'm not sure about these mushrooms :)

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

One of my favorite bird families, #Corvidae, has been nominated by @alan678.bsky.social for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. Whilst there are no magpies here alas, there are the mascots of John Hopkins, and those that brought the grit and made the earth; the blue jay 🦉

You can judge a family by the company it keeps.

Yellow and orange sunrise. A building with a white steeple in front of the sunrise. Two naked trees in the foreground.

I took this picture 6yrs ago today. I was walking to the train and caught this sunrise over my town hall in suburban NJ.

It also happened to be the last day I would commute into the city, as I decided to stop coming in bc of covid.

WHO declared covid a pandemic the next day, March 11.

This is real life.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

BREAKING NEWS: Reporter Calls Out Trump's Lie Directly To His Face Really American | Tuesday Morning, March 10, 2026

“You just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war.

You are the only person in your government saying this.

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?”

PEDOrump’s answer:
“Because I just don’t know enough about it.” 😲🙄🤬

Yesterday a snow bank. Today, this. A welcome sight in central Connecticut. In the 70s near 80 today. So we will call it winsprummer.

Part of a house and outbuidings painted in watercolour. I love the clock tower, the pantiled roofs and the sundial. I won't be able to visit easily again now that I have become a non-driver but I can paint in the grounds of my own Tudor manor house (wishful thinking!)

Watercolour of a garden and buildings in Comberton near Cambridge. The botanist owner of this Tudor manor house is included in the painting, sitting in a folding chair. I have painted here several times.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Strange. I suddenly smell a Mint.

And me without my coin purse.

Slithering down Penny Lane, when suddenly...

Might make a nice end table.

I stopped by a new taco truck for lunch and found this

The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

Y’all. This sunset is GORGEOUS tonight.

Adding books to my To Be Read queue like I’m gonna live forever.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

A large-scale outdoor mural on a building wall in Longmont, Colorado, depicting four women of different ages in a sequence where each is braiding the next person's hair, painted in realistic tones of brown and gold. Artist: Gamma Acosta.

Mural by Gamma Acosta in Longmont — four women braiding each other's hair across generations. Scale and meaning that stops you cold.

Thanks for taking a moment to look.

Here's one of my more recent paintings: 'She Was Always Asleep At School', oil on canvas panel, 40x50cm framed. A painting inspired by a girl in primary school who was always asleep due to unknown home troubles. Elements homage Dorothea Tanning.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.
