Found Bluey on our walk today.
Two small Bluey figurines lying in the grass. The left figure is a brown dog with a blue shirt, with both arms raised. On the right is a blue dog figure with one arm raised.

With more folks over on this site now I just want to once again beg you all to stop reporting Palestinians posting their GFM campaigns as scams (and definitely do not encourage others to do so!). Many Palestinians are finding themselves hidden or suspended off the site because of this. ⬇️

My floors are that ugly gray-brown that seems to be in all new houses, so I’m always looking for light color rugs before realizing what a bad idea that is with pets. But I need some color that doesn’t disappear into the gray void.

A dark gray cat it sitting on a light gray sofa and blanket. He is sitting on his backside like a fat old man, with his legs spread wide and his tail stretched out before him. He is looking off to the left of the frame, and his arm is draped casually over his chubby belly.

As I walked into Lowe’s today, I had to abruptly stop as a young boy sprinted just in front of me – giggling with delight, his parents struggling to keep up – toward the gigantic 9.75’ animatronic Bumble. He was absolutely enraptured by this thing.
Screenshot from Lowe’s website showing the image of a stuffed animatronic Bumble from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. His fur is all white, with blue fingers and toes and a blue face. he is smiling and holding a light-up star in one hand, with a trail of Christmas lights dangling to his other hand. The text reads, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 9.75-ft Laughing LED Bumble Animatronic. A smaller gray box informs us that 1k+ were bought last week.

A three-panel meme based on the film Donny shows Darko. Panel 1 features Donny (Jake Gyllenhaal) glowering in a dark sweater, and the text “I made a new way to generate energy.” Panel 2 shows Donny’s therapist (played by Katharine Ross) casually leaning back with her hands clasped. The text reads, New or steam? Panel 3 shows a slightly chagrined Donny with and overlay of a diagram of a nuclear reactor. The text reads, Steam.

I wrote a little bit about why the southeast's flooding was so, so bad in Hurricane Helene's wake. The region saw an entire hurricane's worth of rain *before* the hurricane even made landfall in a phenomenon called a Predecessor Rain Event (PRE). www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

We’re without power in upstate SC, with no ETA on when it will come back on. But temps are mild, neighbors seem to be doing ok, and most of the big trees have been removed from roadways. Seeing what’s going on in NC and TN really makes it seem like we got off easy.

It can't be overstated how much of an impact this storm will have far, far inland from where it makes landfall on the Florida Panhandle. There are entire towns full of people who likely have no idea they're about to lose power for a week or longer.

Hurricane Helene will bring significant flash flooding and damaging winds hundreds of miles inland after landfall. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for Atlanta, Greenville (SC), and Charlotte ahead of Helene's arrival. Here's the latest over at my blog 👇

It’s impossible to imagine American pop culture since the 1960s without James Earl Jones’ presence and voice - good films, bad films, TV, plays, etc. Also, if you haven’t seen John Sayles’ Matewan, you should.

This week's comic: Prairie Progressives
Prairie Progressives

1. The popularity of Tim Walz has reporters flummoxed

Tim Walz holding a piglet flanked by supporters

Reporter: What -- are we expected to cover these people as "real" Americans?

2. Reporter in diner interviewing guy in a Harris-Walz t-shirt: You're from a small midwestern town... and you're pro-choice and pro-union?

Diner guy: You've been hanging out in the wrong diners, buddy.

3. Reporter in field interviewing woman: But--but--rural folks aren't progressive!

Woman: Have you studied the history of farmers' and labor movements at all, my dude?

4. Reporter holding up MAGA hat to bearded guy: Come on -- don't you like MAGA just a teeny bit? Put on this hat and say something adorably rude.

Guy: When do I get my valorizing puff piece?

Reporter: Not until you put on the hat.
