It's a beautiful time of year for big trees.

#NobelPrize
Post from Sept. 1, 2020, by Eileen Mary O'Connell: Thinking about the time that I said that I was distantly related to Marie Curie and a guy explained 'It's pronounced Mariah Carey'.
Mariah Carey's quote post: She has 2 Nobel prizes, I have 2 diamond albums, we're practically the same person.

'She had also famously toured with the late Taylor Hawkins, the Foo Fighters drummer who died in 2022. “Sass taught me how to be in a rock and roll band,” Hawkins had once said of Jordan, “and gave me my first rock and roll cheque.”

#Caturday
Meme by Cat Named Pepper. Reasons my cat rejected his food today. 1. You looked at me while I was eating. 2. Ate this yesterday. We've moved on. 3. Served in the wrong bowl. 4. I wanted wet food, but you should have known that. 5. Smelled it, decided it's suspicious. 6. I saw a crumb outside the bowl. 7. The bag crinkled way too aggressively.

Brucie J. Monster is a Frankenstein-like monster who probably would have been exceedingly polite. In each episode, Count Frightenstein, exiled to Castle Frightenstein in Frankenstone, Canada, tries to revive Brucie.
