A large pile of money and caprese salad for lunch every day wouldn't fix me, but damn, it might ease the pain.

I'm told there should be no explanation, but that's rude.
And ad for Dr. Pepper with the heading "Hot Idea!" And a snowman lifting a glass mug of what must be hot (blech) Dr. Pepper.

The snowman's green striped scarf is def hot, but I have no idea in which decade anyone would have thought this was good. The idea of a hot carbonated soft drink gives me the heebies and the jeebies, if not also the willies.

If you don't know if you were vaccinated against measles as a child, get the shot now -- and vaccinate your kids! Measles is vastly more contagious than COVID, and more likely to hospitalize you. If someone with measles walked through the room 2 hours before you did, you can catch it.

It’s Ollie’s birthday! He’s two years old so we’re having a churu party! 🎶 Churu party tonight! We're gonna have a churu party tonight (All right!) We're gonna have a churu party, all right (Tonight!) We've got nothing better to do Than to eat some churu and celebrate the birthday of Ollie 🎶

Ollie, a plush gray kitty, staring directly into the camera. He is outside (wearing a harness) and has his left paw lifted. His pupils are extremely small because of the sun so he looks a bit disconcerting

Reskeet with a banger pic of your cat.

Ollie (Oliver, gray kitten) and Stewie (Stewart, tiger tabby cat) resting on my legs. Stewie is looking oh so supercilious while Ollie has an absolutely gormless expression on his cute little face.

@sweetmarias.bsky.social Just did the math, and I think I've put about 300lbs of green coffee through my little consumer-grade roaster in the last 2.5 years. Go, little roaster, GO!

A product pic of the Fresh Roast SR-800 I got from sweetmarias.com in January 2024.

It's my second favorite appliance behind my 80s-era La Pavoni espresso machine that is currently in the shop.

Besides HVAC and the water heater and fridge.

Maybe second favorite FUN appliance. Those others are boring infrastructure.

One benefit of a simultaneous wildfire smoke and heatwave situation is that the smoke may slightly mitigate high temperatures. And one benefit of living in hell is that you get to write unique sentences like the one before this.

Photo of an "unsafe" sign in Portland, Oregon. It's a white upper case capital letter U, with a red background.

This is put on buildings to let firefighters know NOT TO ENTER THE BUILDING IF IT IS ON FIRE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE.

I took the picture because I want t know what font was used for that U.

I'm violating the spirit of this whole thing by explaining the picture, but I can't bring myself to be the asshole who DOESN'T add alt text. I just can't. Sue me.

In 1965 Louis Armstrong played at Lloyd Center in Portland, Oregon on it’s 5th birthday— at the time it was the biggest mall in America. When I worked at Lloyd Center, one of my favorite customers was an older woman named Gayle who told me she went to this event.

I have loved games in almost all forms since I became literate (almost, because chess can fuck right off). At the urging of a friend, who just took a job in Big Cotton, I find myself trying to build a game framework around Big Cotton. And wow, there's a lot of asymmetric possibility there!

Age verification It was at this movie that I first saw the trailer for Star Wars. Without that trailer, I would never ever ever ever have remembered this movie

Poster for the movie Silver Streak. The first Pryor/Wilder pairing, but I can't remember a damned thing about it. All I remember is yanking on my Dad's shirtsleeve during the Star Wars trailer, saying "Dad! Dad! Dad! Can we go see it, can we? Can we? Huh? Can we?
