Devovid
Bizarre story (how could it not be?) in the LA Times of Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh’s experience with Covid-19 and the delusions he experienced at the height of the illness during two weeks in the ICU. (Among other things, he became convinced he’d written an entire new Devo album and hallucinated the band performing it live on the streets of Hollywood using augmented reality.) Months later, he’s still recovering physically. #
Plane Hopping
When wild jackrabbits roamed the fields of LAX. (Los Angeles Times)
From time to time passengers in giant air liners are amused when giant jacks race the plane on take-off. Until now, none of the rabbits has left the ground.
Apparently they were eventually wiped out by foxes, who have since disappeared as well. (Also, most – but not all – of the area has been paved.)
It reminds me of all the rabbits we used to see near UCI in the 90s, especially out in the housing complexes on the edge. A lot of that open space has been filled in since then. I wonder if they still have much in the way of rabbits. # According to Nentuaby on Mastodon, “Campus was still plastered in ’em at least as late as 2010.”
Back to the LA Times:
The jackrabbit photo by Art Rogers was published as a double-page spread in the Dec. 2, 1946, edition of Life magazine.
That’s Not Your Conscience
If your conscience is telling you to refuse someone medical care because you think they’re icky, maybe it’s not your conscience that you’re listening to.
