I remember downloading this image from a BBS in 1993 because I thought it was really funny. Seeing it now... it's just mildly amusing at best.

A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Astur cooperii) perched on the flat top of a cut off tree stump, its wings held partially out, tail up, and feathers floofed out while it gazes upward with its beak slightly open. It's a medium-sized hawk with a dark brown upper body, streaky brown and tan breast & belly, striped tail, smalled hooked beak, and pale irises. The background is a blurred shady forest setting.

The Pet Shop Boys song "Suburbia" was released on September 22, 1986. The sitcom ALF, whose theme song sounds almost identical, premiered on September 22, 1986. What does it mean?

We like to put small treats in the little free library sometimes for the kids, like stickers or toys. Someone decided it needed a few other items, including wart remover. 😐

Optimus Prime was cool, but his best role was obviously that of the "Knight Automated Roving Robot, KARR if you prefer."

You know you can foster a set of perfect matching ding-dongs like this with your local animal rescue, and then keep them all for yourself when you decide no one else is good enough for them? 🐶🐶 #InternationalDogDay

A photo of two very similar looking light brown staffie type dogs lying on a living room floor, sort of on a fuzzy white dog bed. One is dressed in a spotted deer fleece and wears a name tag on its collar that says "AUGIE," and the other wears a name tag that says "GREMLIN." Both are looking into the camera expectantly.

The one on the left has a name tag on its collar that says "GREMLIN" and is wearing a dark green stegosaurus costume. The one on the right is wearing a name tag on its collar that says "AUGIE" and is wearing a hot dog costume.

They are staring into the camera and the feet of the person holding the leashes is just visible behind them.

When I was 3-years old, this was my favorite song, probably just because it had my name in it. My mom had this album on a white 8-track tape and I would ask to listen the song regularly.

I'm heartbroken by the news about Dolly Parton. Speaking as someone from Appalachia, she always represented the very best of our culture and people in a world that defaulted to negative stereotypes of the region. What a loss.

Tomahawk.

A photo of Mike Patton, a middle-aged man with braided dark hair, singing passionately on stage under red and white stage lights, head tilted back and mouth wide open, holding a corded microphone up in his raised right hand. He wears a white button-up shirt under a black vest. A projection reading "Tomahawk" (almost) is visible in the background, along with a drummer. A setlist is taped to equipment on the right.

Something reminded me about the very first animated GIF I ever made, back when animated GIFs were actually animated images following the GIF89a specifcation, not the videos that sites like Giphy just call "GIFs" today. Ironically, I had to capture this as a video just to share.

The average American can't comprehend the Oregonian mind. You think you know people and then you meet Bob, who's wearing tie dye under his 1% club leathers and telling you about the benefits Reiki healing inside his crystal shop with a sign that reads, "This store is protected by the 2nd Amendment."

Bluesky's built-in translation service is pretty useless. "Go luck, they are going to have the Australians!"

A skeet in Spanish that says: "Vaya suerte van a tener los australianos. Vaya dos bandas tocando por esos lares"

Followed by the in-app translation to English that says: "Go luck, they are going to have the Australians. Go two bands playing by those Lares"

A Google Translate screenshot showing the original Spanish text: "Vaya suerte van a tener los australianos. Vaya dos bandas tocando por esos lares"

Followed by the English translation: "The Australians are in for a real treat. What a pair of bands playing over there."
