Does anyone here seeing this know what banana varieties are commonly found in the USA compared to those commonly found in Europe?

To Love

Believe me, buddy it's an age-old scene

The jaws of the trap made the first machine.

You know you're in trouble when you sit by the phone.

Waiting for a ring, spend the night all alone.

She got control

of part of your soul

You gonna start givin' it up: To Love

Here's a better version of the story. I don't have an NY Times subscription to give a gift link to Mosely's original essay. The link below quotes him, though.

Walter Mosely

I remember this story, it's absurd. I'm glad he was able to express his reaction by quitting.

In a non-fiction book, a hundred-year-old quote from a real person contains the word "oriental" which at the time was probably in common use.

Should a direct quote be edited to reflect today's values in a non-fiction historical book?

I'd like to put some food for thought in front of everyone,

whatever your situation in life.

Please DO NOT invest money you can't afford to lose.

Things are moving fast, but the fear of missing out will be nothing compared to the feeling losing money you can not get back.

THINK

If you're on Bluesky, there's a cute little app that tells you how you rate for alt text. We could use that here on Mastodon!

A unique feature of dreams is that, at least for me, people I was close to who are now dead appear, and I never think, "But you're dead". This happens to me once in a while, like last night. Totally normal conversation with a long gone friend who had a water leak in his house.

I have to unfollow those who don't post links without paywalls. One can't subscribe to every site.

An hour read, but you'll get the drift in a few minutes.

It's not about right or left, nor capitalism vs socialism.

It's 5:30 PM, so I have plenty of time to make some flavored tortilla chips for tonight.

Curry? Hot paprika? Onion? Garlic? All of the above?

I'm find new ideas with #Solarfast which I find much harder than #cyanotype. This one is on paper. Far from perfect, but it has given me sevral new ideas that should make things look a lot better next time!

La France accueillera les 10 et 11 février prochain le 3ème Sommet pour l’action sur l’intelligence artificielle (IA). Des centaines de chefs d’Etat et de gouvernement, d’universitaires, de dirigeants d’entreprises et de représentants de la société civile se rassembleront à Paris pour débattre car l’intelligence artificielle questionne les fondements de la pensée et suscite autant d’intérêt que d’appréhension.

Once you have the hardware you don't even have to leave your house! And the hardware is widely available and inexpensive, compared to a 24-track tape machine and the board to run it.

I don't look back at the old days as being better.

Not to defend the streaming economy, but when I wanted to do a solo album in 1995, after trying to find a label, I produced it myself.

Recordings, mix engineer, cover designer cost $$$ and we found a distributor.

Today, you can do it all for a small investment and get exposure to millions.

Look for An Intercontinental Jam wherever you listen to music. Musicians from 10 countries recorded these compositions over three decades.
