The Beehive Cluster is painting for a living, datamining, biochar, building soil and neighborhoods remember it's a community not a club
One of the very few rules of gardening is that when we find a concrete slab we plant something over it with shallow roots and walk away.

You get skeletons, I alert the Hydro to a whole electric subsystem gone missing from maps in the eighties - by shutting down the power to my side of town.

We accept your offering of the packet of 20 John Player Special and hope that both the acrid whorls of smoke and the echo of ragged coughing speed you on your journey.

Cicero seems like he'd be pleased to be included in the festivities.

Pulling out all the big words for the holiday, eh?

I've never said these words before in my life, but PLEASE let me design the logo.

We're all just a really catchy post away from becoming Ea-nāṣir.

Yes, lovely, unless it's on accident.

That one time Aunt Letitia forgot what she was about and added kidneys to the caramel apple chiffon doesn't bear thinking of.

I use the biscuit recipes on the King Arthur Flour site. There are quite a few - quick, leavened, sourdough, etc. and they're all good. Bonus is lots of information and tips and the comments are generally quite useful. The sourdough version is my favorite if you're into that.

Yes, yes I do and if I were Putin I'd be backing away slowly while avoiding eye contact.

My definition of "significant" is now in the 11,660,000 tons range.

Perfect solutions, evidently not sexy enough for the tech bros.

The logic is impeccable.

Every once in a while GTA would put up an absolutely priceless piece of graffiti, in Yiddish. I was willing to trash a mission to slow down and decipher the writing on the wall.

"Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. . . and then President Mamdani had his photo taken in front of the White House portrait of FDR.

Man, some things never change and I am here for that.

It's not often we get a color photo of the future, eh?

It may be the Friday dinner red wine talking (dinner was red wine) but I think the only solution here is convergence. We send Olivia Nuzzi to Tehran accompanied by an extremely attractive translator 30 years her senior.

Presto, front page coverage. Sorry in advance, Tehran.

I suppose they'd rather believe that than her history of trafficking Romanian orphans?

I think they did this twice - because statistically there were more accidents than expected near the fairies that nobody believes in.

Bot Management Bug is my stripper name. Gotta roll with the times, you know?

I don't believe in ghosts but I don't say that where any of them could overhear because why ask for trouble?

Channeling my Yiddish speaking grandmother here, she's definitely haunting somebody.
