Section two of Allen Ginsberg's Howl performed by photographic lumps of flesh.
You have to see this.
Moloch!
Moloch! Our data whose body is a prison of light! Moloch! Mind pulsing to life!
Moloch! Child of man!
Moloch! Profane cathedrals of data burning in the night!

The debt deal insists that building Manchin's pet MVP pipeline is 'in the national interest' and will cut global warming emissions.
These things simply aren't true.

Celebrating 20 years of La Cucaracha in Daily National Syndication, here's one of my favorite strips I've ever done: a Sunday from 2004 (rerun today) all about native mascots. Enjoy #lacucaracha !
I’m looking for a ~1 month Airbnb type apartment rental or house-sitting opportunity for the month of #June in #WestSeattle. For my folks, who are visiting while I deal with some health stuff.
They’re in an Air Bnb now, moving out June 2, availability is looking tight….

RIP my favorite bike ride in Vancouver. WTF
2023. Our city is *removing* a much-loved, well-used protected bike lane in its world-renowned #StanleyPark so that people travelling by car can have *both* lanes to speed through the park again. Wild. #LoveTheLane

Need your gallbladder taken out electively? Too late (waiting for auth), now you’re in the ED with cholecystitis.
Had a “nodule” seen on a CT, but couldn’t get a repeat scan authorized…ever? Now it’s metastatic and you’re in the ED for crippling pain.
DVT? No problem, started you on blood thinners. Oh, but your insurance wouldn’t cover it? Wait for it…now you’re hypoxic with submassive PEs.
You’ve been having severe migraines, and insurance requires you to do a “trial of meds” before getting a MRI. The meds don’t cut it, you’re in the ED and turns out, you have an aneurysm. And it’s bleeding.
The examples go on.

...a sinuous and sublime fusion, slide into album opener “Masenqo” as it subtly builds from Astatke’s spiders on keys intro before blossoming into a full-on nocturnal funk workout.
