I invite you to pause, gaze, and enjoy a moment of meditation from nature itself. With alt tags, too. If this abstract photography moves you, let’s talk! I love placing my art out in the world, raising our collective vibrations one flower at a time. 🌸🌿

Fabulous idea!

And take away their power to choose their own clerks, give it to an independent body with an explicit remit for diversity away from Ivy League hires. It's a racket.

Thank you, Island Girl - you inspired me! And yet, where did your original post go? Do you prefer not to have replies? I know some people use social as more of a one way device. Happy to respect your wishes.

There are many of these tests. The more useful ones are based on large data sets. But there is variation for sure. IMO, it’s another distracting gimmick, and oops, I fell for it. No way is he healthy and abso no way his heart is that great. Sorry to snag you down the rabbit hole.

Take a test for yourself. I am extremely healthy and my cardiac age is still only 9 years ‘younger’ than actual age. NO WAY is this true for him.

I say, MORE blame, because he is where the buck used to stop. He could have changed the trajectory and not give the pres full immunity for acts in office, He could have changed the outcome on now countless cases that rip the Constitution to shreds.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

Late autumn harvest from a friend’s garden after a long morning walk in the high desert. Do you have a favorite?

I find it all so sad. And so little recourse, even with laws on the books, here in my case.

Roxanne Darling 🌿 @roxannedarling.bsky.social · 1d

Is this better than nothing or woefully inadequate considering the damage and repair? My neighbor has clear cut over half the trees and seriously damaged the arroyo running through his land with barely a slap on the wrist.

Unrelated mostly but I still wonder why The Detroit Free Press, which has been around a long time, did not go after her for using that name. Maybe it’s just me, someone who grew up 50+ years ago in the Detroit area and this is the only “Free Press” I know.

This is likely illegal, so let’s make sure that fact makes it in the click bait as well as the lede.

LOL, you fixed her hyphen into a proper em-dash while re-typing that garbáge. (Courtesy French intonation…)

Dave, this writing and grammar are atrocious. I would think even an LLM could do better! But then again, I do not use those tools much at all.

Plus, this is from the DOGE School of Management, doused in saccharin, before hitting “Send.”
