“Fear is a strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground”

Bought a new dog bed for the big dog specifically, and it was immediately taken by the little dog.

A larger black dog lies next to a dog bed, looking up at the camera. On the dog bed is a tricolor corgi.

Runners - and their shadows - cross a sunlit stretch of the #ChicagoMarathon course in Pilsen.

They delve into the organisation’s recent progress, their new recognition as a Charitable Trust, some eyebrow-raising remarks that have sparked fresh speculation — could some long-lost Doctor Who episodes still exist within UK film collections?

Don't forget to spend your FSA money. Lots of things that you can purchase using those funds will be of great use and interest to places like homeless shelters, domestic violence organizations, mutual aid groups & more.

Consider buying menstrual products for one thing.

Yet another FDA alert on lead in cinnamon was issued yesterday. This is the fifth update warning of risk in additional brands since the agency first flagged the problem in July 2024.

Safety Alert

The FDA is advising consumers to throw away and not to buy the ground cinnamon products because samples of products listed in the table were found to contain elevated levels of lead.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

During a government shutdown, the Trump administration is bailing out Argentina, whose president is fond of saying, “The state isn’t the solution, it’s the problem.”

David Gura @davidgura.bsky.social · 5d

Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. has “directly purchased Argentine pesos,” and the Treasury Department has “finalized a $20 billion currency swap framework with Argentina’s central bank.”

Another Norfolk dawn.

Dawn over a dark field. Trees in the distance are backlit by the rising light behind them. Aircraft contrails are glowing orange in the sky.

My first afternoon at Paraiso Quetzal Lodge and I'm getting a nice resupply of Fiery-throated Hummingbirds. I don't know if there's a 12-step program for this particular addiction, but I might need it.
