The USA: hold my beer

This administration is made up of the worst and cruelest people. I hate them all.

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” — James Baldwin

It's been a tad windy here.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Before sunrise this morning.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Glen Torridon yesterday morning.

It's a perfect winter's day up here in the NW Highlands. Taken at about 10.30 - an aerial photo of Loch Coire Nan Arr.

A photo of the track as it leaves the forest and joins the coast road... looking all fairy grotto. However, once it freezes solid, the steep gradient makes it almost impossible for 2WD cars to get traction. I've stopped at the top before and slid backwards all the way to the bottom. (Hence JLR 4x4).

The Power Broker Breakdown podcast was one of my favorite listens this year. Huge thanks to @romanmars.bsky.social and @elliottkalan.bsky.social for such a wonderful + informative distributed book club experience: www.alexrainert.com/thank-you-to...

Zion National Park 🇺🇲❤️

Highlands life skills. Noted.

Nothing like as bad here as in other parts, but we're riding out the storm. The windows (including the tops) are not coated in rain, it's spray from the sea.

Excellent. What a story.

I don't use an app that keeps surveillance data on my podcast activities, but rest assured, there's a nice infographic in my mind that says, "You listened to all of 99% Invisible, and did an inordinate amount of talking back to Roman and Elliott during the Power Broker episodes, weirdly!"

Flying over the River Balgy yesterday afternoon, looking towards Upper Loch Torridon and Beinn Alligin.

This is so beautiful.

I've been using flying cameras for over a decade now. Here's a few snaps.

Looking over the Inner Sound towards the Cuillin Hills on Skye 30 minutes before sunrise yesterday. Photo taken just south of Cuaig (about 20 miles away).

You can often spot a snow cloud; they'll come with pastel pink.

So true.
