A profusion of bright red leaves on an oak tree, with yellow/green leaves from other trees farther in the background, on an autumn afternoon with filtered sunshine through high clouds.
Blurry and focused bright red oak leaves on the left closer to the camera, with the large trunk and yellow leaves from another tree on the right farther in the background, with filtered sunlight passing through the leaves.
Looking almost edge-on at a branch of an oak tree with a spread of fiery red leaves catching the filtered afternoon sun.
Looking up from below through the canopy of an oak tree, with a multitude of bright, glowing, red oak leaves backlit from the filtered afternoon sun shining through the top of the tree and its branches.

been playing (when able to). It's interesting that to access the new content, you need to first finish (again) the "base" game, which takes more than a few hours.
Frankly, I was expecting larger sales. Maybe because I'm in a Factorio-players echo-chamber

Latest strip. At the Lancaster, PA rally, Trump got on the subject of his mental fitness and stated “I have no cognitive. She may have a cognitive problem, but there’s no cognitive problem… Got no cognitive.”

#cartoon #uspol #USPolitics #election #election2024

PERFORMANCE ISSUES 1. TRUMP WEIRDLY SWAYED BACK AND FORTH FOR 38 MINUTES AT A TOWN HALL. CAPTION - LIKE A DAZED DUCK Y-M-C-A! GUY IN MAGA HAT - HE'S STILL STANDING TALL! 2. AFTER CANCELING MULTIPLE EVENTS DUE TO EXHAUSTION, HE RAMBLED ABOUT GOLFER ARNOLD PALMER'S GENITALIA. TRUMP - "WHEN HE TOOK SHOWERS WITH THE OTHER PROS, THEY CAME OUT OF THERE, THEY SAID 'OH MY GOD, THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE." GUY IN MAGA HAT - WOO! HE SAYS WHAT'S ON HIS MIND, I GUESS. 3. THE NEXT DAY HE SAID: "I HAVE NO COGNITIVE." GUY IN MAGA HAT - UH, MAYBE AN ALPHA DOESN'T NEED TO COMPLETE SENTENCES? 4. AT THIS POINT IT'S PRETTY CLEAR WHO HAS THE MOST STAMINA. KAMALA HARRIS - THIS IS MY 11th PODCAST TODAY. LET'S GO! GUY IN HARRIS WALZ HAT - IT'S NICE TO HAVE A CANDIDATE YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR! © 2024 Jen Sorensen

I’m not sure that I have any cognitive left either. Last night I dreamed that Trump was on TV with his pants down literally mooning the camera and everyone around him was acting like this was perfectly normal.

Maybe you should ignore that. I don’t want to infect anyone with my brain virus.
