I grew up getting to see the Ray Brown Trio, once a year in Moscow, Idaho at the Min Hampton Jazz Festival. Even then I knew what I was seeing was an incredible bridge to early 20th century jazz. Ray Brown was a master of an upright base and could lead just really tight jazz trios.

Star Trek with a theme song slaps. I continue to have a very soft spot in my truck heart for enterprise. Imagining that future but less than 150 years from now, makes a humanistic future feel close, feel possible.

I just finished the season four finale of Star Trek: Strange new worlds. I am eternally grateful for how this show respected and developed the original series female characters. Uhura got the episode she’s deserved for decades this week.

The Lord Almighty grant us a peaceful night and a perfect end.

I spent much of the day up at the Sand Creek Massacre site with a group of pilgrims today. Being in that place is such a heightened experience. Prairie almost as far as the eye can see, and omnipresent wind.

Happy Constitution Day to our favorite covenant with death and agreement with Hell.

It seems to me the real problem these days is that people have an overwhelming dread of sense.

AltNPS constantly steals from journalists, so I made a list of those journalists. Give the list a follow, and you'll have a solid list of real news sources. These writers deserve your attention!

He was a picture of bewildered misery.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

"[Let's] consider one way the cliché is frequently used by white people in the United States: in conversations about the history of enslavement, especially ones about 'Founding Fathers' who enslaved people."

We humbly pray thee so to guide and govern us by thy Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget thee, but may remember that we are ever walking in thy sight;

Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression

Happy frontier imperialism metaphor day!

"Absolute sell out," said the voice again.

This is either amazing or horrible

This really gets at the absurdity of the Alt National Park Service as a concept. Why are park rangers taking it upon themselves to be an all-purpose news aggregator? If they're just reposting headlines, why do they need to be anonymous? Why do ANY of this?
