I don't think I've ever seen a praying mantis in the wild in western Washington, ever, and then there's this lovely specimen 2 feet outside my door tonight.

Weird! If you don't see the red horn up top, maybe your phone doesn't see the latest update.

Cat? Or slice of blackberry pie? No one can be sure.

My question: "complete the sentence, "I'm from Buenos Aires and I say...""

It's response: "I'm from Buenos Aires and I say, There's no place quite like the city that never sleeps, with its rich culture, vibrant streets, and passionate people."

I built a little portable digital radio thing and with the antennas installed it looks like an inverse of the Sears Tower

A small white box with two thin black plastic antennas sticking up from the top. The narrow black antennas and boxy white body resemble the color inverse of the Sears Tower in Chicago - a black boxy tower with two tall white spire antennas on top. It is sitting on a wooden coffee table, and there is a candle burning nearby.

I don't think that's accurate? Or at least, either can be true based on these settings which each user can adjust themselves:

The "can we grow passionfruit in Seattle" experiment seems to be going well. We have our first flower! And plenty of other buds have suddenly appeared. 🌱

I wonder what on earth they could be referring to.

Goose meme, first panel is the goose head with "which controversial genres?” text, the goose has narrowed, suspicious eyes.
Second panel is the goose angrily chasing the subject of questioning, the author of that labeller, who is running away. Overlayed with the text "which controversial genres, motherfucker".

Would you like your pigeon regular or extra hot?

You can do it on the fly using Android's app switcher - when you pop out to the carousel there will be a "Select" option that does OCR as well as text selection. With that, you can copy from the bsky app while you have the picture open in the composer then jump right back in to bsky and paste.

3. The big one: Make a custom-fit vent panel. Use the provided plastic window vent as a template for the exhaust hose and cut your own out of wood so it fits perfectly into your window frame. I recommend a router, but a jigsaw will also work. Or be fancy and use plexi like I did for my mom's place.

It's the time of day when the sun is at the right angle to make piss glow like a stream of molten gold. Every year when the sun is in precisely the right orientation a group of people gather in Yosemite on top of a hill and all let go at once:

I saw this again and it made me laugh just as hard as the first time I saw it

Two men are in an airport. In the foreground, one man is walking away from the camera. He's wearing a black cowboy hat and seemingly focused on his path - not looking around. In the background the second man sits, facing the camera but staring intently at the first man. His eyes are locked on the man's hat, and a strange grimace - a mixture of joy and sadness - plays across his face.

Atop the 2nd man's head sit 4 cowboy hats.

A line of text, above the frame of the photo, says, "Eyeing his next victim..."
