Wife and I just finished Jurassic World: Dominion after working our way through the previous Jurassic Park/World films.
Worst movie of the batch and thatβs after sitting through Fallen Kingdom, a movie about putting a bunch of dinosaurs in a house.
Really not looking forward to flying in a monthβ¦.
Beaches on the Gulf of Mexico are experiencing a blizzard 5 months after the gulf water temps hit a new record high.
I donβt think subtlety will be the theme of this admin.
Who controls the fish?

Snow is pretty and all but Iβm pretty sure being trapped in my house is giving me COVID ptsd in the form of depression. Go away now snow.

Donβt you mean Der Weinerschnitzel?
Ah yes that time of year where I set out all the holiday things that make me happy to look at only for them to make me instantly angry when our cat wonβt leave them alone.

The amount of texts and calls I received asking for money from a campaign that was actively promoting war criminals and right wing policies, and then also telling me that if they lose itβs my fault for being a baby about genocide.
Now itβs because they didnβt have enough time. No accountability.
This is one of my favorite, low-tech, ways of visualizing the past! Doesn't oversell the reconstruction, shows possible past and present in same view, works, rain or shine and without power.
