Pretty sure Duchamp was with his urinal, literally and figuratively.

I lived in Mesa in the mid-eighties and remember them well. I once stepped outside to see how bad that would be, and it was pretty bad. Sandy dirt got in my eyes and nose and shirt pocket. A few years later, I also walked through a dust devil in the desert. It was right there, how could I resist? It was a similar experience, though the dust devil had more force.

Though it would be difficult to keep it from being tainted by attitudes towards Carlos' sex change, I suspect.

"My eyes are up here," she says with an elegant gesture to the top shelf of curious jars and grotesqueries.

And one of the great things about her site is the occasional original song performance, complete with stage gestures and everything. When I first discovered her site-- I think because I'd just read "Lost in Math"-- I surely did not expect the musical numbers. Really delightful!

One of the first thoughts is always something like "Wow, it's always been like this and I didn't know."

Thanks very much for the link. I've pulled up the article and will have a look at it shortly. I'd seen at least one discussion of the paradox on Sabine Hossenfelder's site some time back, but didn't read it at the time because I was still trying to get a basic handle on particle physics at the time. 🤔

And I noticed that I crave more sugar and fat than I used to. The good news is that stage 4 means I don't care about cholesterol any more-- my monthly blood tests don't even bother to look at that. 😆

@GeekAndDad
Yeah, timing medications is something I had to create a spreadsheet for because it had gotten that complicated. I carry a little pillbox in my watch pocket just in case I happen to be out and about when it's time for something or other. And I use alarms on my smartwatch to remind me what to take when. Being sick is not as simple as some might think.😉

@mcnees
Thank you! I see a dive into basic Wikipedia info in my very near future; cosmology is good stuff! 👍

@drdrowland
Ahh, I had not thought of it that way. That would be an interesting thing to contemplate. Trying to remember what happened when and what my time was worth would be a challenge in itself, though I think I could come up with a crude estimate.

Two months after Jair Bolsonaro lost his re-election bid for the presidency, angry supporters charged into Brazil’s Congress and presidential offices on Sunday. nytimes.com/live/2023/01/08/wo

I gave up 15 years on Twitter and 22,000 followers. I used my anniversary to invite others to follow me to Mastodon, and I pointed out that every tweet is a donation to Musk. We know what he is and what he's doing. He gave Michael Flynn his account back on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

I started my #Twitter exodus as a boycott against Musk. Now, I'm thrilled to be here. I miss a few things, but Mastodon is just built better. I feel like it makes me (and you) better, too.

@KLlewellin @DolphinSeeker
Thanks for the intro! I'll tag along with you and see where we go.

Jellyfish have survived 500 Million years without a brain or a heart so don’t count the Republican Party out just yet.
