This is the energy I was looking for in this hearing. This might be the greatest clip of a Senate hearing in history. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

I harvested one flower head by carefully cutting it off, putting it into a paper bag and shaking it like a maraca to hear ten billion tiny black seeds fall off effortlessly with a fun hissing rattle. That was way more fun than I would ever expect it to be.

I don't think it'd be remotely as delicious as that bread was. I have tasted garlic honey once. "Once" it will remain!

IF we had the ground space, I'd let them go feral constantly as a honeybee magnet for other plants. Though I'm not wanting to taste "onion honey". :D I have enough green onion seeds harvested to last a very long time.

Green onions get enormous if allowed to keep growing. They can be 3 foot tall! They'll eventually throw up a pretty white flower that attracts bees like crazy and produces a ton of seeds.

Copyright date is 2001. I'd never seen this before either. They had two copies, one new, one used. The used one had this personal charm of it's previous owner thus its now priceless!

San Diego Bird festival today. Lots of optics vendors = temptation alley. Found this glorious little used book for $2 that is absolute gold. Previous owner named some of the birds after people. There’s one in particular that is too funny! (My name is spelled different). Check it @rosemarymosco.com

A lineup of my swag I got: a book called a field guide to North American birders featuring illustrations of people as birds (furries), “Borb” (bird orb) and raccoon pins as well as a seal of approval sticker from Monkeyminion.com, various society stickers (California native plants, native pathways, ternwatchers, de la tierra nacimos Latino conservation week, San Diego bird festival, San Diego bird alliance) Opticron binocular sticker, San Diego birdathon sticker, she/her pronoun sticker with a kestrel face, shorebird squad sticker, and insect stickers

Went to the San Diego Bird Festival to browse vendors and talk to enthusiasts, so glad we went! Got some cool swag too, especially from @monkeyminion.com 👀

The movie poster for In The Blink Of An Eye showing three timelines: past, present, and future

Just finished In The Blink Of An Eye and wow, wow. Kind of Wall-E kind of Interstellar kind of This Is Us but with a message about the perseverance of the human spirit I so needed right now. Kate McKinnon in a dramatic role makes me just want more.

"Scrubs" reboot is a Time Machine. Transported back in time and it hasn't missed a beat. Eerily so!

That Springfield AR is an excellent choice.

In the Blink of an Eye (2026) ⭐ 5.9 | Drama, Sci-Fi 1h 34m | PG-13

Watched "In the Blink of an Eye" Kate McKinnon in a serious role. God she's SO great!!!!! It was fantastic. Such a positive, enduring message delivered so well. I had parallel feelings with "Interstellar", but this focused more on humanity. Absolutely watch this! www.imdb.com/title/tt6341...

Frasier drawn in Peanuts style. Frasier is sitting at Lucy's pop-up psychiatric help stand with his hands folded. Sign says "Psychiatric Help: 5c. The Doctor is Real In" with Eddie and his pigeon as Snoopy and Woodstock.

We're rewatching Frasier in its entirety so I figured I'd resurface this old fan art from 2008 (!) I lovingly called Scrambled Peanuts.

At Columbia Med. Another grad school colleague started collecting the empty crack vials he found on his walk to the lab. After 2 yrs he had filled a 1 gallon jug. Despite WTF are you doing that, it was more a sardonic milestone of decline. This was NYC in ‘89. There is nothing new here

Took this with my phone one night of my neighbor’s ash tree. The color the phone captured is nice. Three is reflecting ambient street lights from the street down the hill.

Things our household is NOT doing tonight. Watching 2+ hours of an orange clown speak lies and gibberish.

PHOTO ESSAY: Portraits of Ukrainians on the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainians have now lived with four years of war. They have lost limbs, loved ones, livelihoods and homes, but not hope.

This picture of a Ukrainian dance teacher turned army sniper (Tetiana Khimion) hits hard. There is a lot to unpack in this powerful photo, and that she's only 47. apnews.com/photo-essay/...

You could be an urban druid too!

TIL: 3/4" garden hose washers. They come in so many varieties that if you don't get the perfect match, you're chasing leaks until you cry. There's flanged, winged, flat, round, narrow and wide diameter... just.. WHY? I don't want to make these decisions!!!

Visited a nursery in Encinitas today that deals with native CA plants and was surprised to see so many awesome stickers!!! I love the Acorn woodpecker and road runner. Nicole found other artists she knows displaying their wares as well Found grape soda lupine and Blue Eyed grass seeds

A wine we saw today. If it weren’t $45 we’d have had an experiment.

Hell yes!!! 💯

These concerts had ENERGY!!! I miss not over produced garage thrash metal. Mom really gave me looks when I wore the concert t-shirt n weekends. Wasn’t allowed to wear it to school🤓

LOL!!! Oh dude!! 🤣

Friday afternoon jam: Haven’t done one in awhile, but the old vinyl converted to MP3 of this album wins today. There’s a warmth with vinyl LPs that is decades gone. I’ll never surrender this to a newer “remastered” version. Never. What a fantastic album!

Let’s see. Where would Dante place you in Hell? Because you have a VIP seat whatever circle you’re going to.
