I just spotted this little praying mantis hanging out in my basil plant… which has never been outside.

Don’t know how it got inside, but I introduced it to the garden. It will undoubtedly have a lot more fun out there!

Garden update: Blossom Edition!

Every day I’m waking up to new life in the garden and I’m constantly amazed at the rapid growth out there.

Pictured here: Purple Emperor Nasturtium, Yukon Gold potato, Red Pride tomato, and Hearts of Gold cantaloupe.

YESSSSS! It’s been a frustrating Monday, but things just got a little brighter. Long live physical media!

@dlove67 that’s certainly a valid thing to be jealous about. I think the last truly awesome collectors edition game I bought on PC was Fallout 4. They’re so rare these days.

Dear ice cream trucks: why do you play songs like “Silent Night” and “When the Saints Go Marching In?”

This sunflower is NOT messing around. Only 7 weeks ago, this was a seed in the ground. Today it's 5 feet 4 inches tall! (~164cm for my European friends)

Tomatoes one month ago, and those same tomatoes this morning. #Gardening

Raised garden bed with tomato plants supported by cages, mulch on the ground, and a drip irrigation system.

@tylnesh Hey nice! Herbs aren’t always the easiest to grow. Funny story about my mint: I sowed it in a big grow bag a few weeks. Not a single sprout appeared — but it IS start to pop up in roughly 10 different places in my raised beds 🤣

@bcon several months is too long! Before this trip, I was last here in November of 2023. It has felt like an eternity.

Hope you’re able to go soon.

I spotted this sea lion calf in Morro Bay last night and the cuteness was overwhelming. (There were a total of 8 sea lions just lounging on these rocks, only a few feet away from people.)

Essential weekend listening as the weather heats up!

The first time I bought this album, I was 12 years old. I'd heard "Pour Some Sugar On Me" on the radio and almost immediately rode my bike to The Wherehouse and spent my hard-earned lawn-mowing money on the cassette. Outside of Pyromania and Hysteria, I didn't really stick with Def Leppard, but this album is absolutely timeless for me.

@mforester @killyourfm The lyric is pure cheese, but yea it’s still a damn awesome song! (My other favorites from this album are “Animal,” “Gods of War” and “Rocket.”

The top ~50 Google searches are people typing in websites without the .net or .com because they can't remember the full domain name. (Including "google" which is hilarious.)

Is this a sad reflection on society, or proof that we need a more advanced search engine that actually answers questions rather than simply serving up promoted links and SEO-optimized clickbait.

I'm tentatively excited about this rumored ChatGPT search engine, even if I still have reservations about the future of AI.

@s31bz Hey, isn’t that basically the storyline for 3 Body Problem? Lol

The more I think about it, I realize I just want to see Google/Alphabet taken down a few pegs. But the more I think about that, I realize the inevitability of whatever does take down Google eventually becoming another soulless megacorp hell-bent on profits above anything else.

Sigh

I’m gonna go outside.

The hoops through which I need to jump to sign into my addons mozilla.org account in Thunderbird are UNREAL.

  • Need ThunderWebTabs
  • Need to open the addons page in thunderbird
  • Then need to copy the sign in LINK and not click it
  • Then I need to open that link VIA THUNDERWEBTABS

And only THEN does Thunderbird allow me to be signed into the extensions site.

@killyourfm you still at the Moz?

@root Yep, but please tag @thunderbird as I'm on vacation for the next week+.

I don’t always share food photos, but when I do, it’s because an ingredient came from my . In this case, two! The rocky arugula and the cilantro, which both added a delicious little kick to the tacos.

Soon, those tomatoes will be from the garden too (and the tortillas will be homemade).

Side note: I’m AMAZED at the difference between store-bought vs home grown cilantro and arugula.
