It's that time of year! 🌼 Some fun saguaro facts:
- Saguaros do not begin blooming until they are at least 30-35 years old
- Each flower is only open for 18-24 hours
- Saguaros appear to flower in a counter-clockwise direction, with buds first appearing on the east side, then the north, and then the west

#Graduation #AI #fail seems to be a recurring theme lately
Here's the latest 🍿 for you:
#Glendale community #college in #Arizona used AI to read names
Predictably, it missed people, it had the names out of order, etc
Because, of course, a human reading the names of #graduates and giving them simple decent recognition for their dedication and work is too hard?
This is video of college #faculty trying to explain the debacle. The crowd reaction is not supportive
And oh yeah: Fuck AI

Nature loves blue and red, green and purple, white and black, well, pretty much all the colors.

Looking over the edge of a cliff 🫣 I don't ever do that! But I had to see Horseshoe Bend, Arizona. Thanks for the railing, I was able to see it. Hot August afternoon. Notice the white spect on the shore, there were people camping there, that's a boat.
