I attached my cc to my kid’s Apple Pay just for this trip, and it notifies me of any foreign transaction. I’m just glad to see he’s finding the right places. This is like the fourth time in three days.

President Obama should go to one of the next Knicks games wearing a tan suit.

Spotted a unicorn in Hammond, Indiana.

Looks like Chicago might get spared, but I feel that here in northwest Indiana there’s an impending heavy rain.

“The patient is favoring the left knee.” The inconsistency in how this this phrase has been used over the decades I’ve heard it has rendered it worse than useless.

Remember when Hillary and Kamala stormed outta those interviews because they couldn’t handle the questions yah me neither

I’ve really wanted to paint radishes lately. I can’t even eat them (apparently, due to gallstones) But they look cute! Here’s a lil study! #art #painting

welcome to tomato sandwich season, everyone

Wow, basketball, holy shit

@boursier.bsky.social A nice package came today. The kid it’s intended for however just left country. But he asked if he could take the original with him, I said ok just don’t lose it. So he’ll be happy and surprised when he returns and finds he’s got his own. 🙏

I've taken hundreds of photos of this barn, Every day, every season, it catches my eye. Yesterday, right after the storm, everything clicked for me. #photography

The problem with ALARA is that the words Reasonably and Acheivable are very subjective concepts. Many legal, regulatory, and scientific careers have been built arguing them since the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 was signed and dose limits existing. Reasonable is mostly definited in a financial sense.

“Iraq’s World Cup striker, Aymen Hussein, was held and questioned for nearly seven hours at Chicago’s O’Hare airport after arriving with the squad early on Saturday, an Iraqi sporting official said.” www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This is a very cool way of doing it

seems more effective than sporadic barricades with huge gaps between them

“Failing over to contingency.” Activating downtime contingency protocols. (Our hospital EMR system has totally crashed.) We are not falling over, but, as IT describes it, we are “failing over.”

but which one is the culprit

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

The part where the bars all lift up.

My favorite focaccia recipe is Alexandra's alexandracooks.com/2018/03/02/o... thought I've tried many and they've all worked! Good oil and good salt make the difference. Love the long cold ferment in the fridge.

Nothing makes you feel like a witch like making bread with backyard herbs. #bread #baking

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

youtu.be/__iqphFlQ-c The best my recorded voice has ever sounded — to me, anyway! But I think that’s mainly the superb company!

Bruce Willis always gave the impression that his character couldn't wait for the action movie plot to be over so he could go back to living his actual life.

@funranium.bsky.social spam musubi for your consideration, including home made musubi press

Searched my camera roll for “bike.” This was included. Not a bike, but why not enjoy this short movie of a mechanical movement at work. The seconds hand, of course, a nice high-beat movement. But look closely at the minute hand and you can see barely see it advancing.

As a guy who goes on golf trips..I too hate 99% of guys who go on golf trips

But you can adit to your vocabulary...

Housefly handles and partially eats a breadcrumb on my kitchen counter, leaves it for a while, climbs over the scissors and then pushes the crumb under the scissors, losing access, finally gives up on the bread crumb.

“…the only thing a Quebecois fears when he hears that Kyle or Arthur or Sally is coming is that he’ll have to hear someone try to order un Cappuccino glacé in English during his next trip to Tim Hortons.”

Just killed a mosquito on a plane in Seattle that flew down from Fairbanks, Alaska and is on its way to Boston It was full of blood Great exercise in how disease vectors move about quickly

I made chicken pot pie. Rejoice.

Or complaints about one child whimpering a bit, at only 1/100 the sound intensity (I made this convenient to the log10 scale) of that group of men hollering nonstop on the plane like it’s their own private parlor.

Amazing sunset tonight over Lake Ontario at Irondequoit Pier. #sunset #photography #nature #waves

I’m making fondant potatoes but only had snowman molds so I'm telling everyone it's a new dish called "Pommes de Frosty."

“Crosswordese: a group of words frequently found in US crossword puzzles but seldom found in everyday conversation. The words are usually short, 3-5 letters, with letter combinations which crossword constructors find useful in the creation of crossword puzzles.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosswo...

The @nytimes.com and its desire for right-wing approval is directly responsible for transforming Bari Weiss into a major media figure.

compelled to once again note that, like many "tobacco-free" products, the nicotine in snus is extracted from tobacco, and is "tobacco-free" in much the same way a jar of goose fat is "meat-free", and yet it allows them to evade regulations on tobacco products www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

quote posting only to add, this is real, I have seen this fucking ad on the video kiosks around town, just never quick enough to get my phone out to take a shot before it cycles through to a different ad

@johnrt.bsky.social If i remember correctly, you’re a big fan of orange? Here’s a ca 1970 Oldsmobile “Cutlass,” certainly not an original paint job, but very orange. Not the same orange that you’d see some cars in the Sixties & Seventies. Metallic. Striking though and a good paint job.

Found on the sidewalk. Made by somebody, for somebody, with such love.

Probably the best milkshake I’ve ever had (and consistently so) is the banana milkshake at Stella’s Diner since 1962, Broadway and Wellington.

Just an occasional reminder that the best waffles come from my 98 year old Hot Point waffle iron
