Not much color, but still a pretty sunset here in Northern Colorado last night. #sunset #Colorado

Sad to hear that Diane Keaton has died aged 79. She starred in The Godfather trilogy, Father of the Bride, The First Wives Club, The Family Stone, Finding Dory & Book Club. She won an Academy Award for her performance in Annie Hall, and was nominated for Reds, Marvin's Room & Something's Gotta Give.

Thank you. That is what it seems to me. I even cut one and it is hollow inside, as morels are described. It didn't smell bad. I guess it will come down to how brave I feel... My husband already said he won't touch it.

MereTheeWell @mymerehut.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks to everyone who responded. It isn't worth it for me to try it. 🤪

MereTheeWell @mymerehut.bsky.social · 1d

What should it smell like? I pulled one and cut it open. It is hollow inside like a morel. It smells slightly alkaline, but not offensive.

Thank you. I keep thinking of a line from Dirty Harry, "Do you feel lucky punk?" 😁

This mushroom in our yard looks very much like a morel. I am thinking about trying to cook it. Am I crazy? Can anyone with experience identifying mushrooms confirm? #morelMushroom #mycologist #Mushrooms

A phallic looking mushroom with open webbing on the top. It is surrounded by low growing plants.

I love how the big news on Trump’s tariff announcement is how moments before he made it a bunch of people made insanely profitable shorts on crypto, a thing that Bitcoin Bros are all astounded to see happening in a completely unregulated market of a fake currency primarily used by criminals.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

JUST IN: An anonymous trader opened massive crypto short positions just 30 minutes before Trump’s tariff announcements yesterday.

They made an estimated $192M in profits.

Donald Trump needs to go to jail. He is thief, he is literally robbing people internationally.

He announced 100% Tarrifs on China and sends the US stock market into a death spiral.

At the same time someone put over 1 Billion dollars into crypto with orders for 100 million being placed on Ethereum and Bitcoin and other crypto currencies across the board whilst markets got wiped after what he said. Billions, and I mean fucking billions got wiped out, whilst Bitcoin had it a biggest dip ever in a single candle losing 20k per Bitcoin, Whilst alt coins lost over 60-70% of value, everyone with leverage on the market with even 2 x leverage got murdered and robbed.

This was co ordinated, this was market manipulation with one anonymous wallet making over 200 million dollars in one day with trades showing that they knew Trump was going to announce this and crash the market.

Definitely leaning wetter/cooler next weekend for Colorado (8-14 day outlook). Good chance we're dealing with a solid mountain snow event, and perhaps our first Denver freeze.

Will keep you posted as always...

It's dangerous to say, but since it is true, it's more dangerous to not say: The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body. It's been deliberately and systematically captured by ideologues on behalf of an anti-Constitutional project, and its extremist members have been bribed.

(2/3)
If Denver still had the funding/helium to launch weather balloons, we would have seen the existing record highs for October precipitable water obliterated during this event. Forecasts are for values 1"+ for 24+ hours. There's never been a measured value over 0.8" during October in Denver.

the way Republicans are in sync on ranting about and attacking #NoKings is a tell. A big tell

they're worried about the growing popular protests underway against their King

Their own polls must be showing the backlash - and they
they know their dearl leader has dementia and is flailing

Today, in #MyWildlife:

I spent a crisp #Fall morning with a flock of Evening Grosbeaks.

Their grumpy lil faces belie their gregarious nature— they are very social, talkative #birds that never fail to make me smile.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

This is scary as hell. Just the fact that there are more methane seeps than had been factored into climate predictions is bad enough, but if they turn out to be new and increasing in number it would mean than the current predictions aren't dire enough.

Scientists discovered something alarming seeping out from beneath the ocean around Antarctica | CNN

Planet-heating methane is escaping from cracks in the Antarctic seabed, with new seeps being discovered at an “astonishing rate,” raising fears that future global warming predictions may have been und...
