Yes this is a pernicious weed, but letting one corner of the fence become totally over run with naturalized purple Morning Glories is so… beautiful. #gardeningisbae

Yeah.. the pace has slowed but still getting #HomegrownTomatoes. #GardeningIsBae

“the philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country.” This man does not deserve to have flags flown at half-mast. No paywall. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Russian strike on #Kyiv region completely destroyed a home goods logistical center. Russia keeps attacking Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

Drone view of the consequences of russian drone strike on Kharkiv Pharmaceutical University this morning 😞

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones. But don't worry Pam, I saved it for you web.archive.org/web/20250911...

Ah, fruiting bodies. Nothing like them really. #gardeningisbae

Jazz OTD: While John Coltrane's immense legacy is linked mostly to his post-bop innovations, his career as a hard bop genius was already bordering on legendary, as shown by the popularity of his sole Blue Note release as leader, "Blue Train," recorded September 15, 1957. #jazzsky

When I wrote this in January, people said I was an alarmist. Today, the New York Times reported that “Senior officials in the federal government have taken over a conservative media entity to talk about a crackdown on anti-conservative thought and speech.” Yes, a crackdown on thought and speech.

Trying a new form of backyard tomato preservation, for me. That’s 24 plum tomatoes, dried and roasted, packed in olive oil in those three 1/2 pint jars. +salt and oregano. #homegrowntomatoes

September 12 and the tomatoes are still coming. #homegrowntomatoes #gardeningisbae

Fly the W! #cubs win!

And my chicago style.

My guys at the valet bike check.

And then the obligatory lap around #cubs park where all the streets are closed to traffic.

Pretty nice ride that ends in a #cubs ball game.

Best time for a #cubs game? Friday 1:20 PM. Best way to get there? Ride your bike. Free bicycle valet parking for #Wrigley games? 💯🔥

new boss, same as the old boss

Law enforcement officials say they think they have recovered the "high powered bolt action rifle" that should’ve been legally banned along with all assault weapons and other arms a long long long time ago.

Today’s ferment. Needing pickles for the high holidays in 2 weeks.

If you don’t yet see the repeat of German my 1938 then look again.

Apparently, only *one* side is expected to "bring down the temperature."

I can report that the temperature has not been lowered yet.

Just a backyard nasturtium. #bloomscrolling #Thursday #gardeningisbae

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Mid September Garden Report Part 1. How it started; How it’s going. #gardeningisbae #HomegrownTomatoes

It's astounding. Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll.

Washed, frozen, vacuum sealed… ready for a winter dinner. #gardeningisbae #homegrowntomatoes

We need some stupid people that know they are stupid on SCOTUS.

I just said this same thing to my son the other day. I was born in Chicago and have spent lots of time there. They aren't prepared for the wrath of Chicagoans.

My little urban backyard tomato garden is still producing nicely. #gardeningisbae #homegrowntomatoes

This is what Ukrainians see in the window most mornings. Yet, there’s nothing normal about it — russian war crimes should never be ignored or trivialized. You can help by spreading the truth or helping protect Ukrainians. u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Invaders from Washington cast a long shadow over a fall Saturday in Chicago. Also, the Nationals beat the Cubs, 2-1. #cubs #chicago #behereforit

Unidentified small brown mushroom likes the wet fall weather. #myshrooms #FungiFriends #mushrooms #moss #UpperPeninsula

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

On another drizzly cool day these puffballs were ready for their close-up. #myshrooms #FungiFriends #mushrooms #moss #UpperPeninsula #FridayFungi

On a per-capita basis, there are more felons in the White House every day that Trump is there than there are in Chicago.

Yes, I was on my way down to the creek. Saw this... and had to stop. Ramaria Stricta...Coral Mushroom. #myshrooms #FungiFriends #mushrooms #moss #UpperPeninsula

🥲

I expected things to get very stupid, but I’m not sure I expected things to get this stupid this quickly.

Rain & Fall Temps have the mushrooms popping up here. Found growing out of a brush & leaf pile. Marquette Co. MI. White dapperling/ Leucoagaricus leucothites How can you not love a name like white dapperling? #myshrooms #fungifriends #mushrooms #upperpeninsula
