What actor's facial expression in a movie/TV show will stay with you for the rest of your life?

Excited to spot a trio of bald eagles spotted on a walk today. The ducks nearby were also excited by the presence of the bald eagles

I admittedly have some ambivalence around Christmas that probably goes back to my days working retail. Anyways, happy holidays and peace to all, and all that. And if you are hitting up the stores last minute, be kind to the people working Christmas Eve.

I will say this about Bari Weiss… she got me to watch a 60 Minutes piece for the first time in years.

Well, I’m sure this will sate everyone’s curiosity.

America…home of the free and the brave

Started hike at 1PM. No lights (sunset at 4PM). No spikes or snowshoes. Improper clothing. No maps. Ignored advice. Puts rescuers at risk. This hike is 9 miles, with a 3800’ elevation gain, bringing you above timber line.

It was dinner time on the west coast, and I wasn't going to interrupt our dinner to watch. But the near universal response seems to have been, “what the fuck was that?”

Seattle, right now

Be safe out there!

I’d love to see this building in a heavy rain storm

There is a pickup truck parked behind my Fit. The hood of the truck is higher than my car. I don’t now how you can see anything driving that truck.

Make it Comic Sans you cowards www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-...

Today, the sun sets at 4:17 in Seattle. And every day in the long term forecast shows rain. Here are some moody pictures of the cats.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

People are rushing to buy the National Parks before the horrendous new 2026 design comes out.

Well, Scaramouche could do the fandango, so that gives him a leg up over the others.

This seems like a play to cut NPS profitability to make it easier to open these lands up to extraction. 35% of NPS visitors are from overseas

I once witnessed a determined cormorant catch an eel. The eel put up a fight, slipping away a number of times, only to have the cormorant dive down and come up again with the eel.

Once again, Terry Gilliam’s movie Brazil foresaw this moment

I appreciate the “this could’ve been an email” sentiment. But this requires that you actually read the email.

A movie that takes place where i'm from. This is where I had my first bank account.

Let me see if I’ve got this right…it is now seditious to say to military personnel, ”Don’t do illegal shit!”

I just tried searching an item in a pdf pricelist, and the search function found no matches. Finally found it by scrolling through the entire document myself, wasting a lot of time. Can we all just just slow it down with this “move fast, break stuff” ethos

Rather than listen to Trump‘s Veteran’s Day speech celebrating war, it’s better to read the words of people who experienced war directly. Like Siegried Sassoon’s WW1 poem Suicide in the Trenches

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go. -Siegfried Sassoon

What?

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

I created an artistic landscape. The technique I used was pushing my computer monitor off my desk, causing it to crash to the floor.

“How many pizzerias can one city support?” Coming from the Northeast, I’d say a lot more than Seattle currently has.

Oh my God…

Thinking about the time my post about fraud on Facebook got removed for violating Facebook’s terms, while the specific fraud I was talking about remained up.

It’s Thursday

allowing myself a moment of optimism this morning

The Onion couldn’t surpass this

You could create feature length film of clips with Johnson just saying, “I don’t know about that”

One of the driving forces for me deleting my Facebook account

I don't know if that's true anymore. Real newspapers have a limited scope, the erosion of local news means that the bar for stuff to get reported on is quite high, and I see stuff on TikTok all of the time that people is saying is happening in their communities that I have no way to verify

Saving this for the next time I visit New York City. Never know when you might need it in a pinch.

Honestly wasn’t expecting these kinds of headlines from People Magazine

I keep thinking I need to rewatch the movie Brazil. Then I think how I might it more depressing than funny in these times

I sincerely wish people would stop treating the stop signs in my Seattle neighborhood as optional. Your wish to get to your destination seconds faster does not supersede my safety, or the safety of the families out trick or treating last night.

A sure sign of Fall and cooler temperatures, is the cats’ willingness to nustle up together.

Protesting ICE is patriotism. It is not criminal.

One of the trails up New Hampshire’s Mt Washington on a sunnier day.

I feel like Tolkien understood this. Especially in his portrayal of Denathor. And even Theoden while he was still under the influence of Wormtongue and Saruman. Gandalf‘s power, on the other hand, was based in his ability to stir hope.

You genuinely can’t win a war if you tolerate too much doomer behavior. Public doomerism is shockingly socially corrosive.

Mt. Washington is not the place for a casual Fall hike with minimal preparedness. 20+ hikers rescued from the summit yesterday.

Waking up to find last night‘s tasty dinner still on the counter. Doing that internal negotiation with the part of me that wants to say, ”It’s fine, it’s fine. Just put it in the fridge.” But, I know I have to throw it away.
