Addendum: Also a block if your TL is only reposts or nothing but politics, memes, and/or pics without attribution.
Note to new followers: If I can't figure out who or what we have in common and/or if you don't have an already established presence here, I will block. The space is for me, my interests, and my friends.
Addendum #2: And a block if you consistently post any AI generated images.

These days, the Theme Building at LAX has become dwarfed by its surroundings but when this photo was taken in 1969 it really stood out. Costing $2.2 million, it was a prime example of Googie architecture, influenced by the Space Age—as was that 8-lamp Sputnik streetlight. ("now" photo January 2018)

PSA: If the jar of honey crystallizes bc it's in the outside wall cupboard (down to 11°F this a.m.), you can still have honey on your warmed up biscuit - those crystals spread and melt beautifully.

I got a new cookbook this weekend and the most interesting recipe I've seen so far is for holy water.
You take three cups of water, add it to a pot, and then boil the hell out of it.

Would love to see the stats on this list, truly out of curiosity, no snark at all: Number of dates played, shows by venue size, number of cities w/maps each tour, how often multiple shows same city in a tour, etc.
Also, DMB is still a thing? (ok, a little snark 😏)

It's me, hi, I'm the reason it's tranquil 😏
For domestic tranquility I have to mute the TV every time a clip with Turmp speaking pops up. Couldn't smart TV tech have a configuration option for a list of names to automute whenever they appear on screen? #MillionDollarIdea

Reminder that Lecanemab is administered via hand iv, requires regular MRIs for brain bleeds, but is only for *early* stage Alzheimer’s which is clearly a stage our boy passed some time ago.
Someone needs to directly ask if he’s taking it and get them to deny it on record.

A close-up of a Tufted Titmouse with his/her tuft blowing in the wind. I love their black eyelashes. The thin black feathers around the break are rictal bristles, which are common in many birds but their size and placement differs between species.

It would be interesting to look at solar generation in the Central Valley through this tule fog the past two weeks or so..☀️🌫️🔌💡
