Arizona poppies (Kallstroemia grandiflora), in Sierra Vista, Arizona.

The annual monsoon constitutes a fifth season in my part of Arizona. The summer rains lead to a quick – but fleeting – greening of the desert. Plants are in a hurry to bloom and set seed before the world dries again. This year's bloom has not been as wildly colorful as past years, but there are still plenty of wildflowers mixed in the green.

Etymology note: Arizona poppies are not true poppies at all, but a kind of caltrop. Caltrops are noted for their spiky-spiny seed pods, some of which are capable of puncturing sneaker soles or bicycle tires or garden gloves. The name derives from the seed pod's resemblance to the cruel iron spikes strewn on battlefields to cripple war horses. Military caltrops have been used since Roman times, and more recently by Ukraine to puncture Russian tires and slow advancing troops.

your additions to the ‘they’re-in-a-tv-show’ theory that was already floating around made my jaw drop so here’s two more additions to yours

1. if everything we’re seeing is a pastiche or in-universe version of the tv show “post-2005 doctor who”, then wouldn’t it make sense for there to be a showy, campy master-esque villain that is emphatically NOT the master but effectively magpies their repertoire? they make a song and dance routine of viciousness, they openly flirt with the doctor (“sweetcheeks”) while threatening to kill him and treating the companion as a toy, they PLAY THE SAXON MASTER’S THEME on the piano. except “the master” doesn’t exist in this in-universe show — the doctor refers to the rani, the bishop, god knows what irrelevant time lords but doesn’t mention their best enemy. there’s a koschei-shaped hole in the narrative. who fills it? maestro. a title so close to “master” that italian fans were struggling because that was their official translation of the master’s name in the first place. the entire character is all but screaming “look at me, i’m Not-the-Master”

2. you came up with another intriguing theory — what if the episodes each are based around one essential element of a tv show thematically; i.e. space babies was ‘story’ and the devil’s chord ‘music/soundtrack’. makes me think — what if boom is ‘conflict’ and 73 yards is ‘setting’? throwing that up in the air apropos of nothing, of course, it’s all speculation. but wouldn’t that be cool? every snippet of information i’ve read about 73 yards suggests that it’s incredibly location-focused. folk horror stories can almost always be boiled down to the strained relationship between The Land and the people living on it. the only quote we’ve seen from it so far is fifteen saying “it never ends, the war between the land and sea” — once again, evoking landscape, geography, place. setting. 73 yards is a precise measure of geographical distance. as for boom, we know little about it and i prefer to keep it that way until it’s released, but the hitchcockian vibes promised and the premise itself make me think either ‘conflict’ or ‘suspense’

honestly the whole migration to red note just made me realise just how dumb a lot of americans are lol. cause exactly, you can learn all this basic information from google. or just by idk, talking to a chinese person? or having common sense? i guess i really underestimated the power of propaganda. and also how unwilling americans are to learn about anything outside of their own bubble on their own

Right. I believed in the American ability to be stupid but I still somehow underestimated it
