Yup, you’re going nowhere.

First, I’m sorry for all the people who will miss him, which includes a lot of lemmings. And I’m sorry for both him and his passenger, it’s a painful way to go.

But Angeles Crest Highway is notorious for Ferraris and Lamborghinis speeding crazily while fans film them, zooming past people who are just trying to get safely up and down the mountain.

In real life, dead is dead.

At least they didn’t hit another car. And the burning Ferrari didn’t fall down into a ravine, potentially sparking a wildfire and/or putting rescuers at risk retrieving the bodies.

Nice of the cat to allow the bear

There’s a very old joke, which is very long but basically “new guy tries to get an agent, demonstrates a lot of talents, but we’ve got to do something about his name” which (punchline) is Penis Van Lesbian.

I vote for the plumeria. But I hope you’re going to use color to get that beautiful shading from a deeper center to pale edges. And shading to bring out that pinwheel effect of the petals.

Number 2 is plumeria, the flower of leis. So it’s definitely tropical.

Looks a little like a century plant to me but I’m not knowledgeable about tropical plants.

Edit: is it aloe??

That adds an interesting element to the Dinner Party story… Edit: Shit! DONNER PARTY, you stupid autocorrect! Although you’re not entirely wrong…

Donner is also French for “to give”

I’m sitting corrected, thanks. And I’m also more aware of the limits of “detect language,” since it defaulted to English: donner = donner

Good point, Thor’s Day, god of thunder and lightning. But I noticed if I set Translate to Detect Language and type in donder, it translates from Dutch becoming thunder, but if I type in donner it says it’s English and doesn’t translate it.

I know, it’s Stephen Miller, that’s why I laughed. Google AI apparently thought, “bald Nazi, must be Mussolini.”

This is why we need to spell Donder’s name correctly! Donder und Blitzen 🌧️⚡

Goebbels

I Google Lensed this picture and the “AI Answer” at the top of the page cracked me up, so here it is:

“The image displays a social media post that highlights a visual comparison between images of Benito Mussolini and Joseph Goebbels. The user suggests that a Vanity Fair photographer intentionally took a photo of a person (presumably a contemporary political figure, based on related social media posts) in a way that visually mimics the composition of historical photos of the two fascist leaders. Benito Mussolini was the founder of Italian Fascism and leader of the National Fascist Party. Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany. The post implies a critical political commentary by drawing a parallel between the subjects of the photos.”

Doesn’t count as cooking: A can each drained of garbanzo, kidney, navy, and green, a handful of frozen peas, maybe some celery or cherry tomatoes, make a nice lemon vinaigrette to soak them in, and serve on baby spinach leaves

Lovely. Enjoy!

Do have a vegetable tomorrow, for balance.

If you’re sitting in hot bleachers, the cooling effect on your hand or forehead is pretty nice, and you’re gonna drink the drink before it’s warm anyway. Hot is more of a problem unless you’re cold enough to be wearing mittens.

Don’t forget the fresh pears!

Deep, as if landing on forepaws from a leap down off a cabinet, and yet there’s no indication of the hind feet replacing them as it sprang away. Mysterious!
