Refreshingly, most of the characters have significant ethical failings, constantly violate their suspects’ civil rights, and conspire to cover up their bad behavior. The acting is beyond melodramatic — especially the late, great Andre Braugher, who is so over-the-top he’s practically levitating. I can’t stop watching these train-wreck people, it’s hilarious. 2026-07-07T23:36:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy6t2qrlarfx2ed24vatnz6jy5nq0w5qs7ns0jz89rlu5ufgtnx0qzyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g64xg47y Y’all know I’m a connoisseur of American copaganda TV shows, which I mostly hate-watch because there’s something wrong with me. Weirdly, I had never seen the seminal series “Homicide: Life on the Street.” When it came out in the 90s I was workin’ the late shift at a bar so I missed it. Now I’m watchin’ it and boy-o, I’d forgotten how weirdly lo-tech the 90s were.<br/><br/>Cell phones, if anyone had one, were giant beige bricks. Computer monitors were giant beige CRTs (and there was only one in the squad room). The word “database” did not exist in common parlance. Nobody had heard of the World Wide Web. No “facial rec,” no CCTV in every shop, no Google, no social media beyond BBS. No wonder those Baltimore homicide guys hardly ever solved a murder. John Munch is a treasure, though. #tv 2026-07-07T23:11:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvjws36wceh7q2632vwkklm2mv7zc9qhwmqzsaevsqwu8f3kf9jyqzyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g63ws6j2 #DispatchesFromTheWorstTimeline Sigh.

With her youthful-eyed assistance, we re-discovered it in a distant tree.<br/><br/>They migrate through Texas in spring, headed for their breeding grounds in more northwestern climes.

Bucks shed their headgear every year and start re-growing it in spring. In 4 months during summer the well-nourished ones can grow like 200 inches of antler. It’s bonkers. #deer<br/> <img src="https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/505/413/489/097/428/original/700a2077ddc066c0.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-11-06T23:45:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszfavq4vp3ctyc7zdczwap3aufdzqz6c5atsfkexjcpyy9my0xm3czyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g6gjpp7f It’s rutting season for the whitetails.

I started giving her alfalfa. Soon the whole doe herd was hanging around the bunkhouse. A few of them would eat out of my hand.<br/><br/>Anyway, here is Notchy (see her left ear), my deer friend for the next 3 years until she passed.

I’ve had’em crawl on my boots before, but this was the first time the call has ever come from inside the house. I mean, that boot was in the kitchen before I put it on. So there are centipedes IN HERE! 2025-07-09T21:27:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdncdn0h644dherlr5vpglfjy0te4l2p4gzu5uwskew2cextajc3szyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g63e5tzm This week I’ve been bitten by a giant centipede* and swarmed by a battalion of Polistes carolina wasps**; my normal laissez-faire policy with respect to the arthropods, winged or otherwise, is wearing thin.<br/><br/>____________<br/>* OUCH do not recommend. Like a rookie fool, I’d omitted to check my boots for crawlies before putting’em on. About a quarter mile into my hike I detected a horrible, sharp pain in my foot. Pulled off the boot, expecting a piddly little scorpion. Butnno. It was a goddam *Scolopendra heros*, a Giant Texas Centipede.<br/><br/>Reader, it takes a lot to squick me out, but I have no stomach for giant centipedes. They’re just too goddang big, are too venomous, and have too many fucking legs. <br/><br/>Gripped with pain and irrational panic, I screamed like a city girl, splatted my ass down on the rain-soaked dirt, and pulled off my centipede-encrusted sock in about .04 seconds (the dog nose in the photo belongs to my feral Pomeranian, who enjoyed every second of this embarrassing display a little too much). I then defeatedly limped home in the rain, rapidly losing feeling in my big toe. It took about 5 hours for the pain to subside. These fucken things are no joke. Although, like all my doofy encounters with creepy wildlife, the tableau was comical AF.<br/><br/>** It’d been so long since I’d driven my own car off the farm that a colony of paper wasps had had time to build a whole-ass nest in the space between my driver’s side door and the fender.<br/><br/>I’d boarded the car without incident and driven into town, not having noticed the nest. Did my errand. But upon my return to the car, the wasps were by now kinda cheesed off. To my enormous surprise, an entire buttload of sting-y insects buzzed out of my car door at once and bounced into my face.<br/><br/>Pretty sure I did some hilarious and awkward anti-wasp-swarm moves in the parking lot while attempting to cognitively reconcile this unnatural state of affairs with any possible reality. It was only then that I noticed the nest and grasped the gist. When I got home (unstung, by some miracle), there were a bunch of panicked wasps buzzing around the carport, searching for their recent nest. So many of their compatriots had flown off in that parking lot 8 miles away! It was an emotional rollercoaster for all concerned.<br/> <img src="https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/114/814/665/079/751/287/original/9bbf6e9e697b42a4.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/114/814/603/906/418/321/original/1a68ccd658a16ac5.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-07-07T23:43:42Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2zm7nga8ud0v07ady3uxxdsj394kgmvdvd7py9v3d6zkyh7t7w9qzyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g6j4xgg0 So in the next county over 25 people, including a bunch of kids, died yesterday when the Guadalupe River flooded. Of course TX nazi officials are blaming the NWS for this catastrophic fuckup. These officials conveniently fail to mention that THEY VOTED TO DEFUND THE NWS. In any case, warnings were in fact issued. The fault lies with the cheap-ass county having neglected to install any kind of local early warning/emergency response system. It’s making my head explode. #TexasFlood #txwx 2025-07-05T19:45:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst9u24xu5rw42gkq2p94lnuls2hvp3mr5kdcskmcxydczc6f99heqzyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g6yk7wd4 Blurry iPhone Photo of the Day ( actually taken through my livingroom window with a Canon R6 and a big-ass telephoto lens).<br/><br/>OK so maybe my hummingbird feeder came apart during transport and 2 cups of syrup just splatted on my kitchen floor; I’m still getting the hang of this hummer thing. But I just can’t get enough of these lil guys. How do they even exist? It’s boggling me. The air shows are fantastic. Just hung an auxiliary feeder 10 meters away to alleviate (I hope) some of the territorial squabbles (see photo). These two are loaded for bear. #birds<br/> <img src="https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/114/792/012/904/170/233/original/7c86c783a6e189ac.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-07-03T23:58:31Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswwucvl4ya3maqaml9vm6m5kmarxz389m7j52eupqqm0xa2xhxtwczyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g6chd394 I’m a big Columbo fan.

Started thinkin’, man, I’m gettin’ pretty old, maybe I should sell up and move to town, where I can get Door Dash and sleep in. But when I went out I saw a jackrabbit, a grey fox, a bunch of deer, and Ethel the lone wild turkey hen. Nobody else was around. The horses snorted with contentment. The breeze was a reassuring whisper. The sunrise was epic. They’re gonna have to drag me outta here.<br/> <img src="https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/114/769/230/377/780/000/original/0f1560faccd76c56.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-06-29T23:24:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd8th7yvcnuf7jtpfgyzslshm6777pt3x0jsh9n6mxm0nqfd50dxszyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g6ghr475 Blurry iPhone Nature Photo of the Day: My dogs just cornered this hapless lil buddy in our “snakeproof” yard. Somehow it had squeezed through the 1/4” anti-critter wire mesh that lines the bottom third of the fence, but it couldn’t squeeze back out again and kept getting stuck. Its dire situation necessitated that it be pretty aggressive with the dogs, so it struck at’em a couple of times before I could call’em off. Luckily this was just a non-venomous coachwhip. Kept trying to guide it gently toward the now-open gate with a broom, but it was still pretty fired up and kept tail-rattling and striking at ME. Finally it took the hint, and man, it coachwhipped outta here with the speed of 1000 Usain Bolts. Sorry for the inconvenience, buddy! Very fast, very cool snek. #snakes<br/> <img src="https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/114/763/169/724/282/132/original/c3e21ce065083a13.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-06-28T21:43:19Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8dwm0vd555j8vynj0c4w5ez3j0ysyk8ftwtd6pns3nd7up9sulaszyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g6vt3xaa I’m the worst backyard birder ever. I can’t believe it has taken me over 15 years to finally set up a hummingbird feeder. I mean, it’s nuts tho.

Always poke him to make sure he’s not dead. But he’s just takin’ a post-prandial nap. Horses mostly sleep standing up, so when you see one on the ground for more than 2 minutes it’s cause for alarm. But every so often you get one of these weird guys who sleeps lying down and it’s VERY disconcerting. #horses<br/> <img src="https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/114/645/347/003/191/033/original/ecd0f6fcd5e7543f.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-06-08T02:19:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstsem2mravrztct3dmj48rv5xfmnap57z5t09wtsdevw8km2hfqxczyrkfdjf089d6zgphac7x8qhnflendfdl9z9ra3u9vqz2er2fjy4g6wadn4f Blurry iPhone Photo of the Day: rescued an exhausted half-dead black-chinned hummingbird from the barn floor.
