Glad about gladiolus

Learning all the time. Up until this year, I had no idea perennial gladiolus existed. What beauties. These are planted in the delphinium beds. Hardy in zones 3 to 9 and we're in 5.5. Otherwise, tender gladiolus corms have to be dug up and kept indoors over the winter. Just like dahlias. I like perennials that just go to sleep under the snow and pop back up in the spring. It's enough work taking our cacti, succulents, and epiphyllums out for the summer and back in the plant room for the winter.

Gladiolus ramosus 'Vulcano.'

More or less. Depending on microsites. Usually 5b but we had spring like weather followed by a -30C cold snap last winter. Major damage to the Okanagan Valley vineyard and tree fruit crops. We lost an old grapevine, a wisteria, and our apricot only has about half of its leaves. That was about zone 4.

Believe us, we do try our best, but this stuff has been SO hard 😭

We must point out though, the influx of new users from Kuketz Forums and GrapheneOS Forums are savvy enough to share detailed bug reports which makes our jobs easier in fixing these bugs. Immensely grateful for that!

That said, v055o, which is releasing in the next 2 days or so, is shaping up to be the most stable version (but we've been wrong before)...

If this isn’t clear, despite my enthusiasm for future President Harris, I don’t believe it is fair to ask Palestinian Americans to support anyone even partially responsible for the deaths of their families. Any administration wanting to make amends should listen to them.
Have you seen this? It’s an interview of a Palestinian American man who lost 150 family members in #Gaza. #Harris reached out to him in November with condolences and again more recently. She was the only American official to do so.

@Groenlandfahrer Mit Verlaub: Ich finde, der Friedensappel muss an Putin gehen. Die #Ukraine verteidigt sich nur. Sie beansprucht keinen einzigen Quadratmeter russisches Territorium.
Ich finde es falsch, der Ukraine den Verteidigungswillen zum Vorwurf zu machen.
Canisius mastodon (AP)
@Groenlandfahrer
Der sog. Friedensappell von Sahra Wagenknecht ist doch in Wirklichkeit keine ernstzunehmende diplomatische Aktion gg Russland oder gg der Ukraine, sondern ein Versuch, in Deutschland die Stimmung zu schüren, die Ukraine fallen zu lassen und das heißt, dem russischen Aggressor wehrlos auszuliefern.

It’s worth devoting some attention to how the press did Trump’s work for him by portraying the aspiring authoritarian exactly how he wants to be seen — as a heroic strongman and newfound champion of political unity.

Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination for a third time on July 17 with a rambling, incoherent mess of a speech that offered a terrifying vision for America during its rare moments of coherence.

His performance was widely regarded as a disaster. But a range of major newspapers didn’t cover it that way.

More than a few headlines actually raved about it.

🔹The Boston Globe: “In a departure, Trump calls for unity, healing in America.”
🔹The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Trump urges unity after assassination attempt while proposing sweeping populist agenda.”
🔹Baltimore Sun: “Subdued Trump describes assassination try, accepts nomination.”

As media critic Parker Molloy pointed out, these papers seemingly reported on Trump’s speech based on the prepared remarks, not the speech as he actually delivered it.

Trump will never pivot to unity because his whole brand is divisiveness

Not long after Trump’s attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13, mainstream outlets went along with the Trump campaign’s narrative:
The shocking event had changed him for the better.

When Trump made his first appearance at the RNC on July 15,
🔹the New York Times described him as “subdued” and claimed he showed a “glimpse of vulnerability.”

But Trump had already demonstrated he was unchanged earlier that day when he posted on Truth Social that
his idea of “Uniting our Nation” was the
dismissal of all criminal charges against him.

An older torty long haired cat responds to me saying hello to her. She's a light brown to black and her face is split into alternating colors and it swaps at her nose.
An older torty long haired cat looks slightly annoyed that I won't put her blanket on me which is the only way she'll get on anyone's lap these days. Her face is split with dark on the right and light on the left and it swaps at her nose then again on her chin. Her body is light to dark brown with some black in there too.

"Michael C. Hall stepped into Variety's video studio at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 yesterday to discuss the upcoming prequel Dexter: Original Sin and the surprising sequel Dexter: Resurrection.
"We just felt like there was more to explore. I think we've all been really amazed at how fertile the soil of 'Dexter' remains," Hall shared."

Yeah, you don't say?

You know, maybe like having Dexter's previous team at Miami Metro finally find out that he's the BHB and then seemingly KILL him at the end of New Blood?

Yeah, yeah I'm glad they decided that was a piss poor ending lol

#DonaldTrump's Project 2025 aims to dismantle #unions and weaken worker protections, positioning anti-union activists in key federal roles. The initiative, influenced by conservative think tanks, seeks to overturn #Biden's labor policies, restrict collective bargaining, and promote right-to-work laws nationwide.

the bottom left camera _should_ take the film, which will be expired but could still be interesting to use.
The top right takes Soectra film, I think, which is the one integral format Impossible / new Polaroid didn’t revive. Some of those models were really controllable, though.
