Cliff Palace, built by the Ancestral Puebloans, is located in Mesa Verde National Park. #ScapeFriday #landscape #photography #EastCoastKin

A friend of mine cooked up a flag to show support for strong municipal services and this feels like the perfect emblem of the Mamdani Moment. I absolutely love it.

Logging on:

if you're surprised to learn that the Winter Olympics are just a month away, don't worry, you're not alone, the people building all the venues in Italy also appear to be surprised the Olympics are just a month away

Steve Rogers at the 1 Hour 50 minute mark, after Dr. Doom has been defeated:

X is not valuable territory to be recaptured in a war, it is a propaganda radio station that needs to be shut down, because it is now supporting criminal activity. Tuning in to that station does nothing but boost its audience figures.

Hominid

Just some little fellas I saw once

Nah, it's time to start looking into their finances.

me to the other old head: it was on river st, right near where river gods used to be other old head: oh i know exactly where you mean

I am full of regret that I didn't anticipate this post breaking containment and making it overtly clear here that the project in question is a queer, gay romance comic and I introduced myself in the email as a transmasc dude, and that THIS was the emailed response from them with that as the context

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

got a hate message that I assume was meant to be read as “I’m jerking off to the thought of you being dead” but they forgot the “you” so it just made me laugh

I somehow missed that the brilliant Swedemason had quietly sneaked back to drop this Mary Berry-inspired gem a few weeks ago. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRuz...

happy early birthday to my little gay baby

simply the greatest

my hot take is that if you are in a community devoted to ecology (such as birding), you don't demand images or descriptions of natural predation are censored, you don't whine about big mean meanie hawks eating your pwecious widdle spawwows, and you don't villainize parasitic reproductive strategies

“My… friend… and I wanted to talk to you about the lackadaisical feeding schedule at this domicile.”

There are going to be entire marketing courses about how durable the boars head brand loyalty has been during this whole "their factories are infested and their owners don't care" debacle Everybody's going to be like "how do WE get customers who don't care if we kill them??"

Garfield the cat made his first appearance 50 years ago today!

I've now seen two instances of incredulousness that there is an academic who has studied car ramming attacks. What fucking peaceable world are they living in that it's not an important form of violence to understand?

Today on the b-man show: whispers, bean spreadin’, and one fancy prance

Bose is open-sourcing its old smart speakers instead of bricking them

posting praise for patrick kane on my timeline in 2025 is an immediate unfollow which no doubt does not bother the person i was following, but i simply must express my 🤮

Cats are so weird. What even is this thing? A pile of fluff with some random limbs and ears attached?

This sounds great!

Ok I'm feeling much better today so it is worth saying: What Rahawa did in this interview was such an act of generosity and softness that I rarely afford myself. It was deeply meaningful to be treated this way. I wish you all a moment when someone handles you with this kind of gentle warmth.

Speaking of the shop, I'm not in a real promote sort of mood but I do want to share that the adorable cupcakes are up! 😍 These are the cutest damn things and I am obsessed with them. thebrokencircle.etsy.com

thinking about scamming rich ppl by setting up a college counseling side hustle. i get money. you get screamed at to leave your kids alone. the kid gets my coaching and editorial expertise for their essay & maybe god forbid has a little fun with the process

Good intentions.

Not just any Star Market, but the World's Largest Star Market, in Dedham

Hey if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the news like I was, please read this and be completely baffled but no longer spiraling, like I am now

I watched this last night. The top two women's skaters in the US are queer women, with pride flags waving in the audience in support. That really meant something to me in this moment.

Sometimes people not in animation asked me how I made decisions on what a location looked like and I hated to tell them that that isn't my job, my job was a lot of separating doors on the BG file

Fun find at the bookstore this morning.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

I usually photograph flying birds with their wings outstretched, but this 'tuck position' allows for a nice tight shot. Mallard drake, Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 6-JAN-2025 #birds

Oh and by the way, the reason I know the names Coon, Powell, Briseno, and Wind (which I do, off the top of my head) is that I vowed to never call them the "Rodney King Riots" because what did Rodney King have to do with it? Why does he get named and the perpetrators don't?

Some good news, if you need it: The city council of Franklin NC has voted to return an important Cherokee mound to the EBCI. "Noquisiyi ("star place") is part of a series of earthen mounds.. the heart of the Cherokee civilization" wlos.com/news/local/t...

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

New entry for the Historical #Dictionary of #ScienceFiction: "space legs", bodily comfort in space, after "sea legs". From 1936, including a 1964 example from Anaïs Nin describing an LSD trip! Been meaning to publish this one for a while. sfdictionary.com/view/1293/sp...

There's no way I can actually deliver on a curse for every like at this point, but please take any maledictions you need:

Yup. If you’re wearing an “I Voted” sticker, they’ll pass over you like it’s the blood of the lamb

Spoiler the man behind me did not in fact have any bottoms on

Things you never want to hear on the subway--the conductor coming into your car and shouting "EVERYONE IN THE CAR GOT CLOTHES ON???"

Hiring manager updated the wrong job description & was beating himself up about it. I almost sent him this pic of @jortsthecat.bsky.social to illustrate that he doesn't need to beat himself up about it. But then I'd have to explain who Jorts the cat is to a Director. 😅
