Stavsnäs, Sweden. Gorgeous morning! Off to work on one of the islands. Not sailing there with that majestic ship, though… maybe next time! 🛳️☀️

A tall sailing ship with multiple masts is docked at a calm waterfront with a Swedish flag flying at the stern, set against a backdrop of trees and clear blue sky.

Only when we admit that we don’t know, can we ever hope to learn it.

Light Child, Lightly.

 

These days I am obsessed by light, it is so hard to commodify. I am not talking about a beautiful dawn, or holidays in the sun, or the light that makes a photograph look good. I am talking about brightness itself, the air lit up. The gleam on the surfaces of my typing hands. I love the gift of its arrival. The light you see is always eight and a half minutes old. Always and again. And you think it is shared by everyone but it is not shared, exactly — our eyes are hit by our own, personal photons.

Anne Enright, The Wren, the Wren. (W. W. Norton & Company, September 19, 2023) (

  • Thank you Make Believe Boutique for the Enright passage.
  • Post Title & Inspiration: Aldous Huxley: “It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.

Crucial Track for 26 June 2025

 "Beat Street (12" Single Version)" by Grandmaster Flash

Listen on Apple Music

What's a song that makes you want to learn an instrument?

I grew up in the midst of the Golden Age of Hiphop, in the 80s. Some might not consider it an instrument, but when I saw Grandmaster Flash in the seminal documentary Big Fun in the Big Town on his turntables... or the other DJ's in the movies Beat Street and Wild Style... I learned you can make music from anything, anywhere. Just use your imagination and go wild.

WordLand v0.5.15 is out. #

Masked secret police is pure terrorism. We should ask NYPD what we have to do to protect ourselves from them, and then do it. #

I, like a lot of other people, assumed that Americans would be terrible at authoritarianism. Shows we have a lot to learn. Americans are pretty good at it it turns out.#

Krugman doesn’t understand what’s coming for NYC. And doesn’t understand the leadership Cuomo uniquely provided at the height of Covid. It’s pretty likely what’s starting in NYC will be worse than Covid or 9-11. Funny thing is Krugman did get it, a few weeks ago when the crisis in Los Angeles was peaking. He wrote a piece that was terrified, and realistic. The National Guard had been nationalized. Marines were invading California. But now that Calif hasn't been in the news, it's easy to swing back. I bet if the election had happened during the worst of it, Cuomo would've won. #

Bernie Sanders asks what the Democrats should learn from Mr. Z's victory in the NYC primary this week. Here's what I say. Forget about ever rising from the ashes of what remains of the party. Right now, the issue is how to defend the city from the coming war with the US government. They're already holding the current mayor hostage. This will be worse than 9-11 and Covid. We have no leadership. We're totally fucked, what the Democratic Party does or doesn't do, at this point, simply doesn't matter.#
