This is short and to the point, albeit imperfectly translated. Переоцененное, совершенно неоригинальное, смущающе упрощенное, невпечатляющее дерьмо! Это русская интеллигенция? Почему миру есть о чем беспокоиться о главных политико-философских курсах действий России, мне непонятно. Плоды этого мы видим в Украине прямо сейчас. Дугин - это шутка. Однако некоторые из его европейских политических философов-традиционалистов менее склонны …

Scott’s Explosion of Color in Bored Self-Experiments
The title speaks for itself. These five collages will likely speak for themselves, or at least ideally so once their captions are read. As for the pool from which these photos were chosen, I was quite bored over several nights and the supply seemed endless. I don't know if these are the best -- probably …

I haven't been to a baseball game in about eight years. Here we are yesterday... Scott and Gretchen at Camden Yards in Baltimore (officially Oriole Park at Camden Yards) watching the Orioles beat the Texas Rangers. Gorgeous ballpark. Gorgeous day. May 28, 2023.

I took this picture last night. Immediately afterward, I wanted to post it online. I’ve deactivated my Facebook account and don’t use Instagram much, so I didn’t post it anywhere until now.
Why, I wondered, did I feel compelled to seek affirmation for my photo? It’s really not that special. It’s just that after almost 15 years, I’m conditioned to share things to an online audience.

We humans are affirmation seekers, and it’s not always a bad thing. I try to show appreciation for the blogs I follow so that the writers will know I appreciate the effort.
So, please admire this average photo, but remember that I appreciate every like and comment. 😁
