Flowers from the pokey plant

Salvia “Mystic Spires Blue”

I think these are alpine roses, Rosa pendulina 🌱

Here come the roses 🌱

Autumn sage (Salvia gregii)

Instead of looking at my portfolio, I think I’m gonna look at my garden instead.

Bluesky reaches 34 million users 🦋

Blooming Lady Banks rambling roses (and also purple rock roses). 🌱

Given the ongoing Signal clusterf*ck here is a screenshot of Jeff. Jeff would not approve. IYKYK

TSLA is just not having a good time.

California’s Medi-Cal (the state’s name for its Medicaid program) gets about 60% of its budget from the federal government. Republicans gutting Medicaid will leave a lot of people out in the cold. In a poor place like the Central Valley, it will be devastating. calmatters.org/health/2025/...

Cherry blossoms in the backyard 🌸 🌱

Peaches blooming, near Kingsburg, CA

Almond trees blooming on the Blossom Trail, near the town of Sanger, CA. Spring is here in the Central Valley.

“When Tomorrow Start Without Me” When my dog passed away two years ago, somebody introduced me to this poignant poem by David Romano. An old wound brought up by the YouTube algorithm. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3JyH...

Nursing homes can be awful. Elderly dementia patients would show up to my clinic accompanied by a facility staff who knew next to nothing about the patient. It’s like trying to squeeze information out of a void.

We JUST had 20 years of this nation building shit.

The way the real world is going, I’m afraid Andor season 2 will disappoint.

The richest man in the world buys acceptance in the cringiest way possible. m.youtube.com/watch?v=FmEe...

Splurged on a Dolphin pool cleaner robot over Christmas. Didn’t work when I first plugged it in. Called the shop and they walked me through tightening the motor. Now look at it go!

Watching LOST on Netflix and I’m surprised how supernatural it is. I mean no way that many ridiculously attractive people could be on the same flight.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

In 2006, we determined that climate change would drive "consistent shifts in Santa Ana events from earlier to later in the season" and said this "may significantly increase the extent of CA coastal areas burned by wildfires, loss of life, and property." Here we are today.... @umairfan.bsky.social
