I didn't actually realize "The Odyssey" was a Barbenheimer-level thing. This is a 35mm screening at the artsy movie theater.

Car died in Idaho Falls, and I gotta say: This town is thoroughly exceeding my expectations. Everyone I've met, from the tow guy on, has been thoughtful & interesting. We figured Sunday night would be dead, but the restaurants are bumping, the scene is diverse, & it's all more Seurat than Hopper.

Ah, the election night quest for a mood-appropriate Blake Moore photo on Getty after he wins a primary ...

OH MY GOD DO THEY NOT REALIZE THAT EVERY PERSON IN THE VICINITY OF SUGAR HOUSE IS LIKE ONE TRAFFIC CONE AWAY FROM BECOMING A TERRORIST

God clearly intended for this cherubic little boy soprano to be featured during this lyric in a YouTube video of the hymn "Abide With Me."

Welp, I tried getting the Calm app. Don't feel very Calm yet.

Flounder with paparazzi and fans after closing night of the Little Mermaid play at Dragon's school.

Sadly I didn't capture Ursula's harness-swoop to full terror, but you can see her in "Menacing Giant" form here:

Erin Alberty @erinalberty.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Wait, your school's stage production of "The Little Mermaid" DIDN'T have silks aerialists?

Ariel's legs rip from her tailfin as she floats to humanity 'neath a laser light show.

So apparently this is what happens nowadays at the junior high school play. From my kid's seemingly-normal middle school:

This was the Olympic event whose result I was most excited for as a Utahn. HOLY SMOKES!

As far as I can tell, Dems there have bent over backward to be pretty moderate & hometowny. People still see only blue haired antifa radicals, even when this is what they're looking at:

Yep, it broke me. www.instagram.com/p/DUJTe8rEmO...

An Instagram post by Macaulay Culkin reads: "Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I'll see you later." With it are images of Culkin as a child and as an adult, being embraced by Catherine O'Hara.

The kids are marching down 13th South.

My friends hit a deer last night en route to our overnight mountain staycation in Midway. 😢 Someone left well-wishes overnight.

"The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Text from a news story reads: "The guy, I’m telling him like, ‘Please step off the school grounds,’ and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he’s trying to push me, and he knocked me down," a school official, who spoke to MPR News on condition of anonymity said.

"They don’t care. They’re just animals," the official added. "I’ve never seen people behave like this."

This was the conversation I had with my kid on the day of the Uvalde shooting.

Someone really made an effort to spoof the big Festival of Trees on Facebook.

Erin Alberty @erinalberty.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

My husband and I planted cacti on this brutally hot, shadeless roundabout so drivers would actually see the hazard and stop speeding. Hubs got the pots & watered them for two summers. Last night some bros on scooters crashed into this one, cackled with laughter and ran away.

Uh-oh. This isn't likely to end well.

Two cats observe ice melting in a kitchen sink. One cat paws at the ice.

He's enjoying multiple views of the ice today.

I put a mouse toy on Dijon, and he pretended it wasn't there until his sister Enola came into the room. Now he's putting on a big show of fighting the mouse.

Erin Alberty @erinalberty.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

And now he comes running whenever he hears someone getting ice out of the freezer

It doesn't fit. It is parked all the way back. But it doesn't fit.

It started as a tum-tum wrestling match.

I swear to God, this is my whole life now. It's like every account I ever made has suddenly become inaccessible.

I have found the Elixir of Life, and it is in Door County, Wisconsin.

It keeps acknowledging the errors and offering to generate "a clean version." It now offers corrected versions when I don't even ask it to. Here's its fifth try:

Yeah, here's what I got. Richard B. Johnson, 1965-1989?

Now we're at the point where he runs to the sink with great excitement whenever he hears ice cubes clinking in it.
