Fruity Petals™ is a vibrant climbing rose from William J. Radler—yes, the Knock Out® guy—that fans your garden with ruffled blooms of coral fading into apricot and finished with a sunny yellow eye. It explodes in a heavy spring bloom and keeps going with repeat flushes all season. Grace Rose Farm

Rain, New Year's Eve By: Maggie Smith The rain is a broken piano, playing the same note over and over. My five-year-old said that. Already she knows loving the world means loving the wobbles you can't shim, the creaks you can't oil silent-the jerry-rigged parts, MacGyvered with twine and chewing gum. Let me love the cold rain's plinking. Let me love the world the way I love my young son, not only when he cups my face in his sticky hands, but when, roughhousing, he accidentally splits my lip. Let me love the world like a mother. Let me be tender when it lets me down. Let me listen to the rain's one note and hear a beginner's song.

Bibi is a liar.
Israeli police attack the funeral procession of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American Christian journalist who had been killed by Israel in the West Bank a few days earlier.
They are the folks who were opposed to the bill so I think they’re still one of the good guys.

He understands and also believes he is untouchable.
Why do any Epstein investment vehicles still exist?
His arrogance pretty much guarantees confirmation. 🙄

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Mysteries, Yes By Mary Oliver Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say "Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.

Reagan-era “shadow papers” show Roberts denouncing judicial overreach — before using the Supreme Court’s shadow docket to fast-track corporate wins on climate and federal policy.

Jerusalem Post: Despite a “ceasefire” the IDF is giving orders to open fire on everyone in Southern Lebanon trying to go home — “Even if the person is unarmed… based on the idea that there are no civilians left in Southern Lebanon.”

It amuses me to see commentators talk about Iran not adhering to International Law or Law of the Seas.
They didn't fucking start anything. America adheres to nothing ever, same with Israel. Israel has never signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
Iran's not the problem. Never was.
Not at all. It’s the murderous Zionists who have been terrorizing the surrounding communities for decades and continue to kill or imprison innocent civilians in Gaza, Lebanon, etc.

A few warnings:
Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is.
Absolutely /do not/ lick it.
