First time I’ve ever seen a Giant Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia sp.
These were at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens today. #BloomScrolling #MendocinoCoast

When the very elderly become bedridden, their already fragile skin is prone to bedsores, even with the utmost attention to frequently turning their bodies to alleviate pressure. They must have other people clean and feed them.
I say this in recognition of the now heroic will to live long enough to cast his one, last vote for Kamala Harris, not to “score” some centennial goal.
That is the character of Jimmy Carter.

Penzey’s is running ads like this to highlight the efforts to drive conservatives away from their spice stores. Too much text to capture it all, but the discounted gift cards are a bargain. Bill Penzey is fearless in any case. Try (and read the label on the jar) Outrage of Love, as an all-purpose savory seasoning.

Reminds me of the UCLA student who posted a white-hot racist video about overhearing Asian students talking to their families. She regretted the publicity it got, for sure.

James Earl Jones and Jane Alexander in a movie poster for The Great White Hope in 1970 made quite the impact. Probably wasn’t allowed in most southern states. #RIP

You may conclude that I’m overreacting to the CoVid pandemic, but I’m telling you this anyway. My job takes me in and out of doors unpredictability, with a high concentration of people. I tried removing my mask when outside a few times, but because I had to stay focused and dynamically calibrate my actions, I would forget to put the mask back on each time I reentered the buildings. So I just leave it on all day. I’m comfortable with it.
I now have KN95 tan lines on my face.

I have yet another unpopular opinion.

I don’t know why it disturbs me so much that people still call X Twitter.
It’s not even like dead naming Kate Jenner with Bruce. That suggests a whole person who came into their own, now. The analogy doesn’t fit for me.
It’s more like someone bought a Porsche, and stripped it down to the chassis, then replaced some parts with other models and dropped a shell on top from a Ford, then calling the jalopy a Porsche, still.
The Porsche is gone.

@npub19fc…ay3c George Clooney got a lot of press for his performance. I think he produced it too. The final scene has stayed with me.
He gained weight to look more ordinary, as most intelligence agents do. He also got severely injured in the scene where he struck by Mark Strong in an interrogation. Clooney had spinal fluid coming out of his nose and required hospitalization.
