I've been seeing the light blue Cape leadwort (Plumbago auriculata), known in Spanish as jazmín azul, everywhere here in Málaga, Spain. It's a natural phytoremediator, meaning it's capable of helping absorb heavy metals like lead and cadmium from contaminated soils #BloomScrolling #StunDay #Flowers

Pale blue clusters of five-petaled plumbago fill the frame, with a blurry background of light green leaves

So, I stopped at this huge Amish market yesterday and bought an ‘Apple Long John’. [second row, all the way on the right] I want to choose my words carefully to not sound hyperbolic here… It might have been the greatest thing in the history of anything ever. I would marry that pastry.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff

Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the prospectus.
