I've been seeing the light blue Cape leadwort (Plumbago auriculata), known in Spanish as jazmín azul, everywhere here in Málaga, Spain. It's a natural phytoremediator, meaning it's capable of helping absorb heavy metals like lead and cadmium from contaminated soils #BloomScrolling #StunDay #Flowers

Pale blue clusters of five-petaled plumbago fill the frame, with a blurry background of light green leaves

So, I stopped at this huge Amish market yesterday and bought an ‘Apple Long John’. [second row, all the way on the right] I want to choose my words carefully to not sound hyperbolic here… It might have been the greatest thing in the history of anything ever. I would marry that pastry.

Nice Safe Cosy Fiction Involving No Moral Ambiguity At All…

Shelley Adina is one of my favourite writers for a reason. I read her cosy fiction for a reason, the reason is that it is never quite as cosy as it seems. The good guys are not always entirely good…

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

This video clip of a swan landing on a lake is best enjoyed with AUDIO ON. Mute swans (Cygnus olor) are among the heaviest flying birds & require a long runway, which means we get the majestic approach, a few furious moments of webbed feet slapping on water, then the majestic splashdown.

A tailorbird is a bird known for its remarkable ability to sew leaves together to create a nest. This process involves puncturing the edges of leaves and using plant fibers to stitch them together, creating a sturdy and camouflaged nest that protects the chicks from predators.
