I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t observe Shabbat — it’s an essential break that allows me to stop, recover, & look for the good. Today I planted pansies by our front door. Photos tomorrow.

I have undergraduates writing research project ideas, and 3-5 bullet points wouldn’t be enough for them to explain anything. These guys are SO stupid, in addition to being absurd and cruel.

It is very loud in Kyiv this evening. Air defence is shooting down drones. The windows are shaking. You know, it really became worse after trump started his negotiations. As I wrote a few days ago, unpunished evil has been unleashed.

A majority of Californians support High Speed Rail. A majority of CA's High Speed Rail funding has come from our state, not the feds. We are going to build High Speed Rail, no matter what Trump and Musk say. ktla.com/news/califor...

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks and the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

THE WARRIORS was released 46 years ago this month. Acclaimed as one of the great 1970s NYC movies, and a true cult classic, the story of how it was made involved real gangs, vomiting extras and a future star who didn't make the cut. Can you dig it? 1/46
