Prince did warn us.... #music #musicsky #wisdom

Full text in Alt
One thing I wanted to say is, don’t be fooled by the internet. It’s cool to get on the computer, but don’t let the computer get on you. It’s cool to use the computer, don’t let the computer use you. Y’all saw The Matrix. There’s a war going on. The battlefield’s in the mind. And the prize is the soul. So just be careful. Be very careful Prince, in a 2019 speech at a small award show. Image is blurry pic of Prince at Yahoo! branded *lecturn*

Photo of a Cladonia lichen podetium that looks like a light grey golf tee with a bend in the stem. The top of the golf tee is ringed with about 10 bright red clown nose like blobs.

Cloudy but spring still doing it's things in #Vancouver
A bright pink, coraly pink maybe, blossom and 2 stray petals on green grass. Most of these large flowers are on the top of a large tree where they catch the sun. One bright pink blossom is visible in the center of the image, which is taken looking into the base of the tree. Branches form a V shape framing the blossom underneath dark green leaves. Green leaves, including a small cedar at the bottom of the image. In the center is a pink blossom starting to emerge.

Day Eleven

Prefab Sprout - Lions In My Own Garden (Exit Someone)

This track - the band's debut single - never appeared on a "proper" album. The first letters of each word in the title spells "Limoges", where Paddy's then-girlfriend had gone away to to study.

Another almost-Spring day in #Vancouver. Poppies, daffodils and Rudbeckia all doing well
Small daffodils against a concrete block wall, the light is late afternoon so shadows darken the lower part of the image. Some daffs are open, must are yellow pod-like blossoms hanging, unopened. From above a small cluster of young daffodils on the right, and the green leaves of poppies emerging into spring. Shadows are cast against the concrete wall Small daffodils against a concrete block wall, the light is late afternoon, the shadows are clearly daffodils from this angle. Some daffs are open, must are yellow pod-like blossoms hanging, unopened.

Today in Vancouver
A sunny day at English Bay. The surf breaks along the sandy beach. Trees in the background do not have leaves, apartments and condo towers behind them. In the distance, the peaks of the north shore mountains have a bit of snow at the top A sunny day at English Bay along a grassy hill, crouched near yellow flowers (daffodils) which are growing in clusters along the slope. The paved Seawall path cuts across the middle of the image and also goes up and around the Inukshuk - a large statue made of stacked stones. Behind that is blue water, some cargo ships at sea, and islands and mountains in the distance

Why is Starmer such a uniquely unpopular prime minister?

#Hiking through The Tablelands at Gros Morne National Park, #Newfoundland. One of the few accessible places in the world where the Earth’s mantle is at the surface. Like being on Mars. #geology #hike #backpacking
