Good morning, CoSo!

If you can only win a contest by cheating, your win doesn't mean anything.

If you can only believe something by telling yourself lies, your belief is without foundation.

If you can only affirm your self-worth by committing acts of violence, you have denied your own worth.

Every false act used to attain a worthwhile goal nullifies the goal itself in the attempt to achieve it.

@DavidSalo I've often been confused by people who cheat to "win" in that if you cheated, you don't really know whether you could have won (or you cheat because you know you can't win). A sensible person would think "I haven't really accomplished what I set out to do".

But the thing is, the cheaters aren't trying to win the contest, they're trying to take the _prize_. They don't care whether they are right or better at something, they care about taking the goodie basket and award statue.

Sifting through old photos, ran across when NYC surprised me. I pictured concrete and glass, angry people. Instead I found the old growth forest underneath, abandoned mansions swallowed by vines and headstones washed clean by time. Neighborhood was quiet, lined with trees, chipmunks in the backyard. I often pictured Poe listening to the sound of wolves out of his window. Art littered the walls more than trash on the ground, and cheerful bodega owners helped me find black market goods.

How do we fight psychological propaganda.
Example: Todays headline: Trump speaks at largest church in Detroit seaking to expand his African American. I was disappointed and saddened at the headline and article. It had no pictures.

Later I come across a photo of the event in which there are few people of color at the event. No one from the congregation attended, not even the pastor. THAT wasnt reported.

Happy Father’s Day to all the coso dads!

Songs of the past bring back all kinds of memories... Often the songs I didn't like or was just sick of hearing them over and over on the radio... I like now bc through them I can travel back to places and time that no longer exist.

"You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space."

With that, guten nacht ~

@PatrickKay Part of me wants to see someone drinking one of these so I can sidle up and say "slapping a bumper sticker on your Nalgene is free my bro"

Just cooked "rice pudding" for the kitten using kitten formula and malted nutrient gel to start weaning (kitten food made him sick, so we stopped and are trying again). Since a month ago I started making birdie bred (crushed bird food pellets, an egg, and a little apple juice), and I've been making about half the dog's food for a couple of years, I have now cooked for every pet in the house except for the frog.

Anyone know of a recipe for frog snacks?

Thought of something that might make a good PSA, just in case. I have a dangerous ex who once learned where I live because our child's doctor's receptionist "verified" our address by stating it to him. No. You verify you are speaking to the customer by making them tell it to you. Even if it had been someone saying they were me, it could have been his girlfriend. Don't give out info, they should be able to give it to you.
