Today’s question: If one’s essential nature is fixed, isn’t it unfair that some souls — those whose intrinsic nature resembles the gopīs of Vrindavan — are destined for a higher, more pleasurable eternal existence than others? If so, doesn’t that make God partial, or incapable (or unwilling) of giving everyone...
I do not bake much. Actually, I hardly bake at all. But I love cakes, cookies, brownies, whatever I can get my hands on. As a kid, my family would make bakery items from box mixes or get something from the many great bakeries in our area. Cake was always served at birthdays, and they were delicious, but I always...
Welcome to the future. – Joel Feder Pyrrhic Victory (#1620) The backlash isn’t nearly severe enough yet: [Pervert] Glasses…are so [morally repugnant] that [even] some [who were sociopathic enough to buy them] are now leaving their expensive [gewgaw]s at home…men…have been using the glasses...
I purchased this small plaster Buddha way back sometime in 1985-ish. It has sat watching over me since then. Through my time living in two nurses residence, multiple rental properties, and eventually my current home.

Early in his career, he struggles to connect with students and colleagues, remaining an...

Given I am also starting to get my hands dirty on this topic, I was grateful that David...
I feel like I’m bitching a lot about my kids and while I sometimes neeeeed to get this off my chest, I do love both of them dearly. I’ve already described one key moment that I had with my older son1, but I’ve been missing something similar with my little one. There are tons of memorable moments, but nothing that...
John Wyver writes: A splendid wedding on Saturday and generally just life got in the way of producing my usual Sunday collection of stuff that has interested me in the past week. So here it is a day late. The header image is a 1916 English landscape by Walter Sickert, Chagford Across Fields, hanging in British...
Colin Bowles has compiled a list of 100 titles that, in his opinion, are the worst ever published. All were hits but I must say that I know only by name about a dozen of artists. Surf music, garage music and psychedelia and other fads have stopped my musical clock for ever.But it's always delightful to witness the...
Is it possible to shrink image file sizes on a Mac using native tools? Yes, but with some big IFs thrown in. Preview can knock a file's size down if you dig into the export dialog and guess at a quality slider, and Photos will do the same on export, but neither remembers what you did last time or watches a folder...
