What a fucking prick

A choice was made decades ago to pedestrianize a Downtown Brooklyn superblock. When you remove the parked cars and replace them with trees it’s amazing how much nicer it immediately gets.

Instagram just suggested that I follow myself. Yes, it's my account, I clicked and checked. Yes, I am logged in on that account. But, if I try to follow myself, it doesn't work, but it does give me a dialogue when I try to unfollow myself. So that's fun.

It continues: "total fuel expenditure ($6.47B) of U.S. scheduled service airlines was up 26.2% from March 2026 ($5.12B) and up 78.0% from April 2025 ($3.63B)."

I hate Windows with the power of one thousand suns.

Yur reminder to enjoy the next 48 hours. Sunshine, low humidity and highs in the 80s today earn a 9/10. Tomorrow will be just as nice. By Wednesday, heat + humidity begin surging back. Then hottest weather of year likely Thurs-Fri. The countdown to summer sweat is on. Photo by Landon Rordam

Is there anything worse than being productive all day and forgetting that you stripped the bed to do laundry until you walk into the bedroom to head to bed?

Summer evening light (but not sunset, because we don't really get those in June) in Iceland.

Ekki er einhver á Suðurnesjum sem langar í myndir af dýrunum sínum fyrir smá pening? Ég er frekar mikið blankur þennan mánuðinn og að ströggla

Wife and kids had a beary exciting drive out of the neighborhood this morning! Wife said, “That is a very big dog running down the road!”

28°C and getting hotter so why not do a 9km walk? Figs were my reward. I should just go lie down, or maybe float in the pool.

Whenever I make salsa, if it isn’t spicy enough, I add barely the tip of a teaspoon of @artd.bsky.social’s chili powder to take it from mild to hot!

I’ve recently gotten into self-hosting some web apps. Most of them are a single binary or a docker. A markdown editor I’m installing now is on node and has 681 dependencies that are taking an hour to install. WTH!

Woof, just watched someone blissfully run a red light and get T-boned. Be careful out there, y'all, because nobody else is.

Svona dagur

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Last night, off my balcony

Wut

Why would you do that, Tim Apple? That’s my emotional support map!

About last night

Post an album you’ve listened to 100+ times

I usually pay less attention to the northern lights forecast during midnight sun season here in Iceland but this storm is too big not to announce 🤩 A trio of CMEs were produced yesterday by several X-class flares. A G3 geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for tonight. #northernlights #aurora

Our dry streak hits 6 days today after 10 straight days of rain at Reagan National. Plenty of sun the next few days as highs heat up: * Low 80s today * Mid- to upper 80s Thu * At least upper 80s to low 90s Fri-Sat, maybe low to mid-90s for some Shower chances by Sunday Photo by angela n./Flickr

ANOTHER ANGLE. Utah plates. Im fucking losing it. www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/...

Holy shit. (From Reddit)

Arlington, you really put a show on tonight for my last night

Led some wonderful ladies on a bespoke puffin side quest today to Dyrhólaey, Iceland. They're wildlife photographers and had just come from a puma trek in Chile. They said I got the winning shot of the day: a poor puffin having a projectile poo right off the side of a cliff 💩🫣 High praise, indeed!

ACPD cop hits a pedestrian. They shouldn’t be driving SUVs and 80% should be on a walking beat.

Hello fellow scientists, I see a lot of conversation about this document, encourage you to read it, and would like to reinforce that it is open for Public Comment until July 13. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

they've always been around, they're here, they're all categories of queer, and damn it they've got a right to exist and live their best lives free from any and all forms of bullshittery happy pride y'all. anyone that hates you and wants to relegate you to the trash heap can FOAD.

For the past 30-40 years, society sold us the lie that you could just "individual responsibility" your way out of having to do politics. But politics is just decisions about how we organize society, and "not doing politics" is the same thing as giving up your voice.

Near-perfect weather continues through midweek before summer starts turning up the heat. ☀️ Today through Wednesday: 70s to near 80, low humidity 🌡️ Thursday: mid-80s 🔥 Friday & Saturday: near 90 🌦️ Sunday: chance of showers and storms Photo by angela n./Flickr

It seems slightly odd that Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth II, Eric Morecambe and David Attenborough were all born in the same year. What a motley bunch.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

The National Mall is overrun with 250 construction and some of the tackiest looking, unnecessary, and probably expensive buildouts. You can’t go into almost any areas with grass and it’s obstructing the monuments.

I wrote a multi-part thread replying to someone about an Icelandic restaurant he’d been to ten years ago and if I’m ever on Mastermind, my specialist subject will be “The Reykjavík Restaurant Scene 2000-Present”. 🤓 👨‍🍳

I was sending a message about Albi (which is now number 6 on the 50 Best Restaurants North America list) but I had the Arabic keyboard on and discovered you can type phonetically using the English keyboard and it’ll change it to Arabic! So much easier than hunting and pecking at the Arabic!

*sobbing uncontrollably* The pigeon bench survived! And looks so good! I can't even explain how good it feels to see this piece completed. Wooo, man. Such relief! #pigeons #pottery #ceramics

Closing up PentagonGiftShop.. get merch while you can 🔥

Clarendon is all shut down for a bike race and URBN market. We should do this every weekend.

Look at these morning lows Sunday. 10 to 15 degrees below the norm. It probably won't be this cool again until the fall! This same chill helped it snow in the mountains of New England Saturday.

This is so nerdy, I love it. It’s about how lorem ipsum got to be so widespread and where it came from: m.youtube.com/watch?v=kL1P...

Moonlight sonata. I took one of my favorite photos last night. While looking for a scissortail, this eastern meadowlark perched itself atop a nearby tree and sang a beautiful song just long enough for me to position it directly in front of the nearly-full Moon. #Photography #BirdOfTheDay #Birds

Assorted pictures

I’m so tired I think I’ll go get a bagel and then take a pre-noon nap.

Swiss trains are just on a whole other level. This ordinary IR38 service between St. Moritz and Chur has a “photo compartment with lowerable windows for outdoor shots” and boy does it ever.

So this may I drew one yay a day. That is, a picture of a man on a mountain saying "yay". It's been one of my most popular pics for years. And hey, If you subscribe as a Unicorn Shark member at patreon.com/dagss0n before the weekend is over, I will send you a hand drawn yay.
