One last time. 💚

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up? JANET: I am so bored of cooking peas! LIZ: Have you tried... AI peas? JANET: AI peas? LIZ: They're peas with AI! [Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI]. LIZ: Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas JANET: What LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines] Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas? [Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it] LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas] LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas! JANET: What LIZ: Shut up LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means. JANET: Is it really necessary to- LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]: THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET [Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan: AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Here's a video that better shows the still of dusk at lake superior. I'm not great at long exposures because I never have space in my backpack for ND filters and 2nd lenses on my daily walks, and had hoped to experience more waterfalls this trip, maybe some other time!

Hmm. Wonder about this kid on the farm, but not sure there’s a spot on the roster just now.

Sheriff wants to charge for rescues of ‘negligent, reckless’ hikers in Skamania County Scheyer said she only wants to go after people if they have been negligent or reckless, causing them to need help from her rescue team.

21 May 1932 | Dutch Jewish girl, Eva Beem, was born in Leeuwarden.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in March 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

It’s One of the Weirdest Mistakes in Movie History. I Spent Months Investigating How It All Went Wrong. The story behind cinema’s most mysterious bird.

I love this so much this scene has also driven me crazy for my whole life slate.com/culture/2025...

I left my iPhone in the washroom at the Public Gardens. When I went back, it was gone. Security and cafe staff didn't have it.

This is a monstrous long shot, but if anyone finds it, please let me know!

Fatima Hassouna

RIP Fatima Hassouna, twenty years younger than me and already dead because this horror never ends. I'm furious. Again.

If justice never comes, I hope hell really exists.
