Here's a picture of Rene Magritte at the (now defunct, alas) rodeo in Simonton, TX, the birthplace of "Drift Away" singer Dobie Gray

Waking up every day like "okay. Given everything I got done yesterday, all I have to do today is fix everything in my life."

My new favorite chore is babysitting the burn barrel.

Everything is terrible, so I decided to spend some money about it.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

The results have exceeded even our most whimsical expectations. Meet our rats!

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Roses are red, and violets are blue, and Spork sends a wink, asking Hey, how YOU doin'?

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever. A thread.

Please read this extremely thoughtful & careful post on Tim Walz, Anne Frank, & the US Holocaust Memorial Museum from Martin Shuster, philosopher, Isaac Swift Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, former Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow, & scholar of genocide, the Holocaust, & authoritarianism:

We went to a little Xmas art market by Rolf’s during our break and one of the first houses we walked in had this… 😒

Last night I dreamed there was a nest of bats by my house that also somehow looked like fluffy little kittens & one climbed up into my truck &I got scratched and had to get post-exposure rabies shots. I warned everyone, watch out for the bats that look like adorable kittens; they could have rabies!

Happy 6th b-day to Harper, the Semiaquatic Shenandoah Lumber Spaniel! The puppy who made me break my promise not to get a farm dog just because I'd moved to a farm has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. I look forward the adventures that await us on your next trip around the sun!

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

@ouinne.bsky.social my time on Bsky has been limited over the past couple of years but I just happened to catch a recent post about the passing of Vivi and I am so so sorry she is gone. Probably the thing I miss most about Old Twitter and the early days of bsky is your posts about your puppers.

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum. www.pbump.net/o/yes-most-a...

As my industry collapses, a new career opportunity emerges....

Comin' out of her shell and she's been molting just fine Gotta gotta grasp her cause she's soft & mine She started out as a zoea, how did it end up like this? She was only a zoea, she was only a zoea Now I've deposited my sperm and she's hardening up While I'm staying near shore & she's swimming off

Got a ton of pix from my trip to WA where I got to spend a week in the house that isn't mine yet b/c the pieces aren't in place to close - there was a major septic permitting issue that lead me to revise my offer down & with the house under forclosure things move slow. Anyhow here's Wonderwall

This 1911 book shows that taking photos of cats and furnishing them with an amusing caption was a thing long before the internet... https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/kittens-and-cats-a-first-reader-1911-cats-and-captions-before-the-internet-age #InternationalCatDay

Incredible capture of Spork doing Speed Retrieve a couple weeks ago. Incredible play of reflection and refraction--the reflection water dripping off his chin...you can even see his two little chin whiskers and their reflection!

We only rate dogs. This is the goth cousin of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Please understand it's not just a phase, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (credit u/vincidelaunc)

Another Sunday chilling in the splorshmobile between rounds at a dock diving event with my ride-or-dies. Clear skies, low humidity and 78 degrees, couldn't ask for better weather in early August in the mid-Atlantic

THE GRAMMAR POLICE ARE REAL

Big news for your pal DrLith: after 10+ years of perusing real estate listings in WA/OR, I happened upon the right property/right price/roughly the right time and am flying out next week to close on this diamond in the rough 20 minutes from Mt. Ranier Natl. Park. vimeo.com/1078558982?s...

Getting my dog to give up the chicken bone she stole from the trash

I don't have pep in my step I have dread in my tread, a grudge in my trudge, woe in my go

Inside you, there are two wolves.

I've started offering beginning dock diving lessons at the pool I practice at, and Wednesday I had back-to-back Winstons during the Golden hour and then a pair of Westies, one of whom actually kind of liked the game and the other of whom was pretty unsure about the situation.
