A new horror unlocked: These guys deciding how to deal with Israel-Iran war. This is the stuff of nightmares. What an image.

A nice little bloom for my birthday. Our first matilija poppy of the year opened up yesterday. (Maybe not so **little**)

Wtf? An ad by the State Department on reddit telling me not to travel to "Level 4 travel adv. countries?"

I assume anyone travelling to one of these countries would be fully aware without needing to be told.

Feels like, maybe an attack on Venezuela? Or just trying to make people afraid to travel?

I received a "Silver Alert" today, clicked on the link (a bit.ly link) and was taken to X. So I complained to CHP. If you live in California, please consider doing the same. Our tax dollars should not be used to help sustain that platform.

Remember when Trump promised Elon would do for the country what he did for Twitter?

Dragonfly in my backyard. I can't believe I shot this on my cell phone.
