We went and found the Lego sukkah. It’s in Oak Park, MI, and it was built by Menachem R., with help from his nieces and nephews. During the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, you build a booth and eat meals outside in it. They’re usually made of wood but he got funky with this one!
Twilight photo of a colorful sukkah built out of giant Lego blocks of every color, with a wooden roof with branches across the top. It has an open weave pattern of blocks, with larger openings at the top.
There is a door on one side. It sits in the driveway of a suburban yard.Color photo of the back of a sukkah built out of giant Lego blocks, sitting in a suburban driveway. It is intensely colorful, with different colors of blocks mingled all together. In some sections there are patterns and in others it is more random.

I may be a little bitter having wasted my life studying this security bullshit only to have the man with less than half my IQ running the whole joint call me a slur. That’s not arrogance talking. You don’t need a particularly impressive IQ to run laps around Heggy.

i got one of my favorite kickers in ages published this weekend www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
Given the difficulties Trump has had, there’s no telling when or how the Iran war will end. But the longer the conflict persists and oil shipments remain hindered, the more likely the shifts in oil demand we’re seeing are to become permanent.

This administration doing anything to purposefully encourage that outcome is deeply unlikely. But if I had a nickel for every time Trump accidentally drove down global carbon emissions through a terrible policy decision, I’d have two nickels. Which, as a fictional mad scientist once said, “isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

Brian Cox looks disappointed as he says "You are not serious people." 100 shows of the 21st century and you couldn't find room for Hannibal ANYWHERE??? And Breaking Bad is the #1. Like florals for spring. Groundbreaking. This is my fault; I decided to trust you for including BSG.

so there's been a series of side quests on Hello Kitty Island where your adorable sheep friend gets obsessed with a new hobby each time she gets a new magazine and I think we have iron clad proof that there are tumblrinas in the writers room
My Sweet Piano, an adorable pink sheep in a tea dress, is talking to my character, a calico cat in a letterman's jacket with a pencil tucked behind her ear.  My Sweet Piano got a magazine in the mail about archeology, entitled "...'A Comprehensive Study on Low-Quality Copper and the Merchants who Sold It'?!"  

Your dialogue options are:
- Sounds interesting.
- Sounds a bit...dry.
- I hate when I get sold low-quality copper.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
