Land shark!

I have no idea in what context he made this remark, but I can't think of any scenario where a six-year-old child would be "of age" for anything other than maybe, like, Legos.

Ah. Well, it looks like you had a good trip; thanks for all the great photos. Cheers!

Pretty but stoopid?

Are you having a Negroni at Caffè di Marzio?

This bullshit "You need an ID to do XYZ" has been so thoroughly shot down over numerous appearances by a parade of MAGA mouthpieces, so I'm just gonna take a minute to say, what the actual fuck is going on with Marsha Blackburn? Sister looks parboiled.

I will reiterate my opinion that there should be a separate photography genre of "signs not being obeyed."

I was going to go with "goes to the gym," but, yeah, rapid clone also makes sense.

Grownups too.

Yes! They *are* useful or at least useful-adjacent enough that people are enthusiastically adopting them for everything from sending thank-you notes to creating lesson plans to writing code. The existential stuff is bad, but equally appalling is people becoming lazier and less skilled on purpose.

Yeah, I'm not going to read any article with "Iran conflict" in the title. If you can't call it "war," why should I trust anything you have to say?

Correlated in all the ways already mentioned, plus correlated with increasing social isolation, distrust of experts, lack of critical thinking, and general intellectual laziness. Why should I learn a skill, consult a human professional, or research a topic when I can just turn it all over to AI?

Setting it up so he can just say "China" once the next time and Trump will have magically reduced the amount of evil in the world by 25%.

Rocks, flowers, sky.

I'm more than a little concerned that the people who manage my investments are this naive/clueless.

How many thousands of protesters were killed between when that photo was taken and yesterday when he made that post? So sorry these traumatized civilians are not living up to your expectations, Daniel.

Now that I have consumed my diet "pizza" your delicious potatoes no longer have mortal power over me.

She's splitting hairs at best, and lying at worst (as in the Woman's Day announcement). She was the first female *cadet* to graduate. Not sure of the precise distinction, but Mace clearly obscures it.

Currently listening to my stomach growl while my Lean Cuisine "pizza" is cooking in the oven, and I can almost *smell* that pot of goodness. If you tell me there's little baby potatoes in there I may die.

I honestly didn't even notice. Thanks for pointing it out!

It's not a frog party until the frog fiddler shows up.

Great photo, and fun challenge as always.

Glad you like it. It's actually one of my favorite photos. I don't often have the opportunity to photograph animals other than cats, dogs, and the occasional squirrel.

Three storeys of stained glass windows in a Gothic church: a large arched window with a triptych of figures, above it a row of five tall narrow windows, and on top, a round rose window.

I need to make a special effort to get inside this church. Every time we've tried, there's either been a wedding or a funeral (both of which seem to be more or less daily occurances).

The wall-mounted AC/heater is a nice touch, tho. Climate controlled murder couch.
