“I don’t fits, but I sits!” Moose has become part cat. #dogsofmastodon #dogs

So. Moved to a new house this week. The day we closed escrow, we discovered we weren’t the first tenants. A squirrel 🐿️ had taken up residence in a space under the kitchen cabinets. It’s still there, scolding the dogs and scampering around the house at night. Chews up any loose wires I forget […]

“The Gloaming” #silentsunday

It's probably worse to be a fascist who loves the fascism than a sheepish accidental "I don't really believe in any of this" fascist ... but the later is more tragic in some ways. More depressing. Especially if it's someone I wanted to admire and respect ... once. Or god forbid myself. And the […]

Strange rainy weather today. Late afternoon rain in foggy conditions; yet the sun managed the briefest of appearances to grant me yet another full double rainbow. #rainbow

I think my old brain is undergoing some kind of rewiring. For most of my life, I got about seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Pretty normal. Slight symptoms of ADD, but nothing that interfered with living. For a time this year I had hours-long stretches of awake time while trying to sleep […]

“Yes * ” Not what you want to hear during a conversation with a family member.

A flash of sunset reflects off a house window for #Fensterfreitag, backed by a dramatic view of the San Gabriel mountain range. #losangeles #photography #canon

What a goofball. The Big Snip, pain meds and a donut collar can’t keep Moose from having fun! #dogsofmastodon

@mluckovich.bsky.social is the best

Watching some Percy Jackson tonight, and lo and behold: a trump-class destroyer crewed by dead guys showed up.

I was going to take some photos of the first full moon of 2026 rising over the spires of a local temple. Alas, another weather-related cancellation. THIS IS LOS ANGELES, PEOPLE! It doesn’t rain here. Somebody missed the memo, I guess. Here’s a fully ripe photo […] [Original post on ioc.exchange]

I think one of the wildest parts of the Epstein Files fiasco to me is billionaires are so different that they talk about the darkest most blackmailable secrets of the worlds elite in gmail when I am miserably embarrassed Google is retaining my everyday online cosplay purchase history to train AI.

Nothing like a little robotic vacuum open-heart surgery to pass the time on a long winter’s night. #robots #robotvacuum #diyrepair #righttorepair

Late December evening sun shining on Mt. San Antonio (aka Mt. Baldy) Canon EOS R6 mk ii, rf 100-500 f/4.5-7.1, ISO 800, 500mm, f7.1, 1/160s. Uncropped. Distance about 35 miles. #photography #canon #losangeles

A familiar holiday carol on my mug. Kind of. #ChristmasEve #porter

It’s Christmas Eve breakfast time in these parts. Let the four-fisted drinking commence! #ChristmasEve

Charlie agrees: this new lens is going to be fun. RF 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 L Can you spot the hitchhiker above his eye in the second photo? #redfootedtortoise #photography #canon

Moose and Stella wishing a happy solstice to all, and are looking forward to longer days (and more walks) in the days ahead. #dogsofmastodon #solstice

I've seen a few people post on Mastodon about how they would love a model railway, but can't, cos of space limitations. What if I was to tell you that you can enjoy model railways, even if you live in a tiny apartment. This is a thread about standards and community. 1/n

It’s card stuffing time! Me and the Gay Cardinals stamps are hard at work spreading a little holiday cheer. #christmascard #gaycardinals

The two relics of exploding stars are black holes and neutron stars. Both were discovered by women. Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967. Since then, three Nobel prizes have gone to male scientists for their work on pulsars, but none to Bell. Louise Webster […]

Huh. I wonder just what “data” I’m keeping in the toilet? 🤔 Perhaps the Whooshie scrubs away AI slop! #spam #fail

Not the best weather to the east tonight. Glad I didn’t make the drive to a planned photo shoot for this last Super Moon of 2025. This was from just up the street, a bit late but still a good test of a new lens. Took some heavy post processing to bring out the […] [Original post on ioc.exchange]

Not-quite-SuperMoon rising over the Small World ride at Disneyland Anaheim. Not too shabby for a handheld phone capture at a 120mm equivalent. First time I’ve achieved results that actually look like the moon. #moon #photography #photography

So back in 1944, a German U-Boat Commander named Heinz-Wilhelm Eck did exactly what US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered US military forces to do - kill the survivors of a destroyed boat at sea. Now, as then, this is considered a War Crime. In 1945, Commander Eck was tried, found guilty […]

Sometimes I just get an idea and it won't go away

Moose hope you all have someone who kisses your head all over too. #dogs #dogsofmastodon

As has become tradition, tonight was Turkey Gumbo. It was a busy day; we swap fall/Thanksgiving decorations for Christmas, which is a mighty chore. I was pretty tired by mid afternoon. I browned the roux up in a T-shirt and shorts, with flip flops on my feet. I usually take a little more care […]

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. Remember: check if the town dump is open before you head over there with your VW microbus full of trash, or be prepared to write a song about it later.

What you steer-ing at? #cow

This #tragictrunktuesday fits my day. Hope yours is better.

A little-known fact: After their humiliating defeat at the hands of Yoshimi, the charred and blistered remains of the Pink Robots were secretly placed as statuary on the grounds of Halter Ranch in Paso Robles. #canon #photography #flaminglips

My cat Rainbow likes to sit in this basket in my bathroom. My daughter painted a portrait of Rainbow in the basket. I hung it in the bathroom, naturally. Then I got a photo of Rainbow sitting in the basket underneath the painting.

The sketchiest of sketchy foods: vending machine caviar. Paso Robles is working hard to build a reputation as a food destination. This isn’t helping 🤢 #sketchy #food

Staying at a favorite winery in the Paso Robles area. Cool little place. But what on Earth is this piece?!? #questionable #art #phonephotography
