Got a few nice shots from the park before it slowed down too much but got cold and didn't want to be out too late. If it picks up again I might pop outside.

A path curving into the distance through a beautiful snowed-in winter forest. A thick layer of fresh powder snow on the ground and tree branches. Cold blue light.

New Banksy dropped in London.
I thought immediately of Oscar Wilde's "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
Perhaps it is a Christmas reference, to that star that was followed in the famous story.

Close up of new Banksy. It depicts two children lying on the ground, wearing winter clothes. One of them is pointing at something in the sky above them. It is painted on a white wall in Bayswater, England. There is a small bush at their feet, indicating they are outside.
Distance shot of the Banksy. Below the artwork is a 3-unit garage. It is painted on the side of a white-washed industrial building, in poor condition. It is evening and the sky is growing dark. In the distance can be seen the red warning light atop a crane.

- cheap
- plays on macOS
- has 𝖆𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖙𝖎𝖈
Found a new one. Very few reviews but _man oh man_ is it an environmental -vibe- when you're playing
It's amusingly self-tagged "Relaxing" and I'm ... not sure about that? Like ... watch the trailer. You hear that background hum? That's the RAIN. The death from above. And it's in stereo and directional. The rain *hums*. It gets louder when you're in danger. And it kills. And it's coming down from above while you're trying to smash and accomplish goals. You get .... twitchy
For $5 tho? Totally great.

Here’s roughly what I told my US Senators:
“I am a resident of Minneapolis, which for the last 6 weeks has been a kind of hell. I am begging you, begging you, to do everything in your power to •stop funding this hell•.
The Department of Homeland Security has become a dangerous rogue organization. Dangerous! The correct amount of funding for the DHS under its current leadership — yes, you heard me, the •entire• DHS — is zero. ZERO.
I consider every dollar above that to be a concession. Fight.”

A painting of blindfolded Lady Justice, kneeling before an executioner under a spotlight. Above her, nine judges vote on her fate: six give a thumbs down, and three give a thumbs up, shouting at the other six in outrage. Justice holds a broken set of golden scales in one hand, papers and gold coins spilling to the ground. Her other hand reaches for a sword on the ground beside her, straining against shackles. https://bsky.app/profile/eranfowler.bsky.social/post/3m3ath2dlvk2h https://www.redbu…

the president has only ever had one tool to control his party: fear.

Trump is not above reminding elected officials that he has unhinged followers who are known to be violent.

Update on the thread above:
I’m not seeing this pattern anymore; the sharp boundaries no longer show up where you look at where ICE is hurting people. It now has more of the feeling you’d expect it to have if they were targeting people based on race, instead of based on political boundaries. Whatever pattern I was noticing above, real or imagined, it doesn’t hold now.
