Please report and block to stop this racist bot shit. The N-word, far as I can scroll. Can't say I've ever seen anything like this and I can't possibly report them all. #fediverse

Mood #Movies #Stills #Outland
A medium shot from the 1981 film *Outland*, showing Marshal William T. O'Niel (played by Sean Connery) in a dark blue uniform and matching cap, walking past a large, colorful corporate logo with concentric rings of yellow, red, green, blue, purple, and magenta above blue lettering. To the right, several workers wearing white caps sit at a table facing away from him. Subtitles at the bottom read, "My men are shit."

I was still zoomed in too far when I heard this one walking over leaves in the arroyo. Only this shot caught anything but I got within a few feet of it, enough to hear it start growling. I bailed and left it alone. I think they're juvenile siblings.

There were two bobcats coming out of an arroyo today! I saw this one run out and then stop and look at me. Usually, they're just walking around or darting off. #Bobcats #Wildlife #California

Aww... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swee%27Pea?wp…
A black-and-white comic panel by E.C. Segar dated July 28, 1933, from *Thimble Theatre*, showing Popeye reacting with extreme joy to finding Swee'Pea. On the left, two pairs of trousered legs and boots land upside down with the sound effect "PLOP" as two characters are knocked over (likely sent flying backward by Popeye's exuberant reaction). In the center, Popeye leaps up with a bulging forearm, his sailor cap flying off his head, shouting the speech bubble: "WHOOPEE, I ALWAYS WANTED A BABY!" On the right, a tiny baby Swee'Pea sits calmly inside a wicker box on a table, holding a rattle with the sound effect "RATTLE RATTLE." The bottom carries the King Features Syndicate copyright notice alongside the date "7-28" and E.C. Segar's signature.

Quite soft but still holding form, chopped up roughly. Added white and purple onion, jalapeño, lemon 🍋 juice from the tree, salt, pepper, oregano. Tastes amazing so far. Will make tacos in a bit.

Could be more perfected but these were barely all we got. If there was more, it could have ripened a bit more. Some of them are like tomato paste. Deep dark color, melting, velvety texture. Some are less so. Chickens are pretty into any scraps in all this processing.
