Love this peak into what might have been for the ME5 score!
Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Kilham Bear Center near Lyme, NH is a rehab & release program for orphaned or abandoned black bear cubs & once a year, their FB feed becomes a joyous cele-bear-ation of the APPLE PILE, a combination of ball pit & all-you-can-eat buffet for young bears to gorge & fatten on. (📷: kilhambearcenter.org)
What the hell are we doing?
Reminder— there are TWO 🇺🇸 intel-related scandals right now, and only one of them involves Starlink. The other is our govt apparently claiming NORAD can’t detect missile launches if it’s cloudy, to excuse us failing to warn 🇺🇦 of 2 air raids, which is arguably worse: www.cbsnews.com/news/us-ukra...

Feel good of the day. Mama raised him right.
Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

There's no hope for consequences while Trump is in office and has sycophants at DHS and DOJ and a Congress that turns a blind eye. Is there hope this will be pursued afterward?
NEW FROM ME: On a hellish third-country removal flight last month, passengers say ICE-contracted guards got drunk, teased and beat them, tied them up, refused to let them use the lavatory. One says he witnessed an ICE agent admit to illegal chain refoulement. prospect.org/2026/08/31/w...
