African Blue Basil (Ocimum kilimandscharicum) starting to bloom. So pretty, and smells amazing. #greensky
The fuzzy, dark purple flower stalk of Ocimum kilimandscharicum 'Dark Opal' is adorned with delicate lavender blossoms featuring prominent orange-tipped stamens, surrounded by green and slightly purple-tinged leaves.

Amazing how this 3-disc set from 25 years ago is still incredibly poignant and accurate for today's world.
A picture of the 3-disc Box Set "Become The Media" a spoken word album from Jello Biafra, former lead singer of "The Dead Kennedys." Also, if you're using a screen reader for my alt-texts, drop me a follow. I'd love to hear from you.

I'm more convinced than ever this man lives in our universe, but has the ability to see into an alternate one and is reacting in our world, to things happening in the other.

Kind of like shouting Jeopardy questions while Wheel of Fortune is on the TV.
Screenshot of Donald Trump's Truth social account, posted April 15, 2025 and 11:31 PM. The text reads: "The United States is taking RECORD NUMBERS in Tariffs, with the cost of almost all products going down, including gasoline, groceries, and just about everything else. Likewise, INFLATION is down. Promises Made, Promises Kept!" It should be noted that the words "record numbers" and "inflation" are written entirely in capital letters. There is excessive comma useage. Also of note, the words "Tariffs", "Made" and "Kept", all have a capital first letter, despite the fact that this is not standard typography in English. The post has 3.6 thousand "ReTruths" and 15.9 thousand Likes as of the time the screenshot was taken.

And this, folks, is why you don't use talk-to-text on your phone for social media posts.
A screenshot of what seems to be incoherent rambling on Truth Social by Donald J. Trump. Key points: Trump is talking about Wayne Gretzky and making Canada a 51st state. Its horrible and makes no sense. We do not want to even dignify it by transcribing it for you.

I don't know who was responsible for doing track selection for this album, but whomever decided to leave off "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I feel Fine)," which is the best R.E.M song ever* should have been taken out back and flogged.

*(I won't be taking questions at this time)

As we prepare for the landing of the Superb Owl named LIX.

I'm reminded of another Owl, perhaps quite super in its own right, also concerned with licks.
Image of the old Tootsie roll commercial where a small child asks "Mr. Owl", how many licks would be required to get to the center of a tootsie pop. The boy is holding up a tootsie pop with a yellow wrapper, to an owl with glasses and a mortarboard cap.

The 47th president gets sworn in exactly one week from today.

Here are the December unemployment numbers, as usual this is just for tracking purposes.
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 256,000 in December, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.1 percent. * Employment trended up in health care, government, and social assistance. * Retail trade added jobs in December, following a job loss in November. Overall, the graphs show that the labor market remained relatively strong in December 2024, with job growth and a stable unemployment rate.

A few things.

1. I didn't reaalize that the Matterhorn was relocated from Switzerland to Canada.

2. Did everyone else skip the chapter on the war of 1812?
