I had these three leeks I got at the grocery. I used some of them, and only had part of the white ends in the crisper box in the fridge. They kept putting out a little new growth at the cut ends, so, eventually, when I hadn’t eaten them, I stuck them in a container. Nothing more than three a-few-inches-long stubs. Well, one of them has survived, and the seed head is about to open. I am going to save the seeds, and start leeks early next spring #gardening #LifeFindsAWay

This third place game is hilarious! It was 4-0 to England, but now it’s 4-3 — and I bet it’s going to finish 5-4 to France. There’s still 20 minutes left! Straight up goofballs and nobody will really care, except maybe Messi, who will now have to score a couple in the final to retain the golden boot over Mbappé #FRAENG #FediFC #WorldCup #WorldCup2026

Public library ebooks are basically a thing of the past. Libby is bleeding the libraries to death, sucking tax money straight to private equity. (KKR owns it). For that cost, you get very little, beyond hockey-playing-vampire romance novels and other dumb bestsellers. If your experience with Libby is still good: 1) You live in one of the few remaining cities in the US with a well-funded library 2) It won’t last. Libby is a parasite that’s indifferent to its host’s long-term survival 🧵

A vistor fashions a wire antenna in the shape of an ancient Egyptian symbol. He points it at the stones, and a surge of power rushes into his arm, knocking him unconscious Was it all in his mind, or was it much more than that? https://youtu.be/v4zBYh2PUyk?si=LEMkrAVpZYjSmFBU

Fear is itself traumatic, because you rehearse, fantasize, and dream what you fear, and the unconscious is bad at knowing the difference between reality, fantasy, and dreams—except possibly in vividness. It’s all experience. You can certainly experience things that have never happened to you, over and over. Just like you can experience what has happened, over and over, in memory and imagination and dreams. The relationship between experience and reality is pretty vague.

Dreamed I found a free parking garage that had a shrink ray. The attendants shrank cars down to the size of matchbox toys, so the garage could hold a huge number of cars. But it made it really hard to find your car later

I have a French Press of Theseus aka Neurath&#39;s Cafetière It&#39;s not cheaper to fix it by replacing parts than it would be to buy a new one. But I&#39;m stubborn about it. Bodum doesn’t make this exact one anymore
