"And all you tell me,
Is you don’t care.
You can’t put a meter on,
Sunlight or air.
....
And when you’ve won all those,
Games that you’ve played,
You just might see there’s,
No one left to pay.

We’ll have the whole world,
That you threw away,
And we won’t know you at all.
We won’t know you at all."

*Yeah, Leslie's politics and stated positions ranged from problematic to unacceptable. But d*mn she could write... I'm picky about which of her songs I'll listen to, let alone reference. But I'm not giving up the good ones.

Saw an article about this that linked to a video on another platform. I don't love posting content from elsewhere, but I will make exceptions....

Just saw this article on making Google Search do what _you_ want, not what _it_ wants. Knew some of these but not all - well worth a look.

@MikeGorse The Disturbed version is gorgeous. It doesn't differ a _lot_ from the original.

Good morning!

I dreamed there was a direct sequel to Goblin Emperor, and I was going to buy a box set of the duology. I even knew the title in my dream, but all I’m left with is wistfulness.

At least there’s tea in my mug. 🫖

This is some peak cat entertainment
@MightyRedPanda Pinch off leaves/stems just above where a couple leaves come off the stem - more than half the time, the leaves will develop into new branches. That's how you get bushy basil instead of a single huge stem. Harder if it's gone woody, which yours may have - so you may end up with a bush on top of the stem. And as someone said, they don't last all that long, harvest and eat regularly so you don't lose it without ever getting to eat any.
