If you are looking to get your mind onto something creative, interesting, inspiring, PBS has a new doc on Edna Lewis who, despite knowing a bit about her, I didn't know she really originated the "farm to table" movement, having mostly heard Alice Waters be credited. www.kcrw.com/culture/show...

This morning was an emergency vet visit morning and that has taken the wind out of all plans for the day. Couch, basketball and knitting while I keep him company instead of the canning and tofu-making i had planned.

all these posts complaining about too much politics feel like duh… the world is kinda on fire… but also my feed is filled with food and art and books and women’s basketball and random sweet nothings so maybe just stop relying on everyone else and algo to curate your life <ahem> feed.

I know I sound like a broken record, but software launch strategies applied to non-software products is dumb and dangerous – in this case a car that operates in real world and coming to austin streets in a few days.

And not to minimize the glorious and well-deserved somber revelry that accompanies Juneteenth celebrations throughout Texas. Happy Juneteenth to all today.

Revisiting this post from 2021, the year Juneteenth became a national holiday: "This act points to the country’s enduring use of Black people’s visions and articulations of freedom for its own symbolic displays of democracy and exceptionalism."

spaceships are not software and the favored workflows of tech companies are all centered in “just do it and fix it later”. south texas deserves better than this.

1/ I spent the past few weeks talking to immigration experts, asking what stories they think deserve more attention right now. Again and again, they said: Children are quietly stuck in immigration facilities, with no end in sight www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

The proof is in the pudding (as they say) and in the training. She is directing same officers that shot “less lethal” weapons at crowds a few years ago; their training has not changed. Last bit about sussing out agitators from peaceful is too murky IMHO and where use of force becomes issue.

ICE and DHS have started this trend of covering identifying markers on their uniforms, switching to plain clothes with masks and this simply can not continue. Our communities should be able to discern law enforcement from vigilantes.

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

Drove Charlie Ahearn around Dallas in search of as many Radio Shacks as we could find for him to photograph facades of. It was wild and he jumped in the back seat to keep my baby company and 2003-2004 seems like a lifetime ago.

how many folks were pulled out of DHS, FBI, CIA and other law enforcement divisions for immigration raids in US cities? how many people are left at their regular jobs as Iran threatens retaliation?
