Oh my goodness!
My farm/garden life YouTube channel is only a few subscribers away from 10 thousand! I’m sure I’ll never reach a million,I’m not controversial enough.
There’s such a lovely community of people who comment&enjoy my videos.
Only an occasional self-righteous comment

Shows that I only have 10 subscribers till I reach 10 thousand on my channel

Portland's downtown Pioneer Square at 4pm. It's a living hell. Most lunchtime food carts closed. Starbucks out of breakfast croissants. Musician playing ambient techno won't take requests.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

This reminds me of the fragments in the archives I have encountered of slaveowners, overseers, and colonial officials working themselves into paranoia and panic about colonized and/or enslaved people playing music or dancing.

Around 13 hours of imaging very even split over SHO filters of the dramatic Lion Nebula (Sharpless 132) in Cepheus. It has really interesting ray-like structures, huge bow waves, areas strong in hydrogen and weak in sulfur and vice versa. Quite spectacular. 🔭

A rich star field with brightly colored nebulaic gases, the core top left of center is rich in hydrogen and oxygen (green and blue in the filter palette) and appears to some to be the head of a lion with bright dramatic cyans and yellows while to the lower right are darker blue and red clouds of an oxygen (blue) and sulfur (red) rich area that some consider the lion's body. This is Sharpless 132, which is commonly called the Lion Nebula.

Many lichen species are sensitive to nitrogen pollution, making them natural indicators of air quality.

📱LicheN is a new app enabling people to help monitor air quality using lichens. Data gathered will improve understanding of N pollution and its impacts on ecosystems.
