Two blueish-green succulent "flowers" growing out of the remains of a previous succulent "flower" that's a yellow-green shade.

Succulent update

I'm not going to describe this AI-regurgitated image, but sufficed to say it's on Beamafilm.

A description of the Will Smith/Tommy Lee Jones Men in Black movie, except its credited to the fictitious director "Montague Wobblecock" and non-existent narrator "Archibald Green".

It's just something I got free with my library card, but I cancelled my account with Beamafilm, as they were unapologetic about streaming this anonymous, AI-regurgitated slideshow and calling it a movie. Also, the description is not of this slop from 2024, but of the 1997 movie Men in Black.

A loaf of fruit bread with a thick, white, dough cross across the top. A supermarket label reads: "Hot Cross Loaf 799 ea"

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

Ralph Wiggam, from The Simpsons, at a desk. Text (in Simpson-esque font) reads: "Oh, boy., sleep. That's where I'm a Viking."

Great photos, @frankashwood.bsky.social!

But can you play an ampersand?

Tiny horse made of Chinese brocade (blue cloth with blue and metallic thread). No facial features, but black mane and tale. Red brocade ribbon for saddle. Even smaller plastic gold boat on back. Hanging from red string with pale purple bead. Red and gold tassel hanging from underneath. Against a white painted brick wall.

Happy New Year!

A round silvery insect with spikey hairs sticking out sparsely from all over its body, reminiscent of the Pinhead character in the Hellraiser movies. Below the square photo is the caption: Hellraiser Mite.

NZ Bug of the Year is open! but can we talk about how satisfying this insect’s name is? bugoftheyear.ento.org.nz

They should have called it a "TRIP-L PACK".

A row of three succulents in a rock garden strewn with brown leaves. The succulents' leaves are arranged like flower petals. The third succulent has two smaller "flowers" on its base "flower".

Close up of the bifurcating succulent. (See previous image's alt text.)

I've realized my opinion of Stranger Things won't be settled until some years from now when I do the Spider-Man test: Can I watch it again without wanting to slap a whiny teenager?

A stalk of agapanthus flowers with a second smaller head of flowers lower down. Behind is an empty street with a building and trees on the other side.

I found another agapanthus with a Kuato in the wild.
(And by "a Kuato", I guess I mean "a connate stalk", and by "in the wild" I mean "in the CBD".)

An inflatable Santa's sled pulled by three increasingly deflated (decreasing inflated?) reindeer on top of an aisle of supermarket freezers. Small lights are visible inside each figure.

This picture requires a social media inspirational message, like: Just like this reindeer, you too still shine inside even when you're deflated.

There's nothing like pruning and weeding to remind you that 95% of a plants mass comes from the air.

Cozy murder stories present a world where there are always new mysteries to be solved, but at the end of the day everything makes sense and justice is served.
The only cost is the death of one or more characters per mystery.
All cozy murder stories are set in Omelas.

Can they smell the copper-based blood of many invertebrates (and also Vulcans)?

RNZ headline reading 'warning as bird of the year begins attacking Wellington walkers'

It's such a shame to see celebrity go to someone's head like this...

(The kārearea are nesting and getting a bit antsy about people coming near their chicks, it's fine)
