I saw an extremely French-Canadian high-dive act at the CNE. It was great!

A high dive act is being performed. Lots of performers are all over the dive structure. There is much chaos - one has clearly jumped from a board, and gloves and shows are flying off of them. One is holding a large cardboard pizza slice. Another is climbing up to the tallest part of the high dive structure. It's extremely French-Canadian.

Me, approaching the conclusion of a week-long trip into the woods with my wonderful in-laws and my very energetic nieces.

A screenshot from one of the Weekend at Bernie's movies. Bernie (dead) is lounging in a chair with a cigarette dangling from his (dead) mouth, his hand somehow gripping a drink.

I'm not formally trained in Dog Law, but this dog is clearly in front of the stroke, so I don't think this sign would hold up in court.

A "no dogs allowed" sign, but the graphic shows the dog _in front_ of the stroke.

I'm very pleased to mention that today's release of #Firefox 147 for desktop includes an opt-in feature that automatically opens Picture-in-Picture for videos when the tab playing that video gets backgrounded! You can enable this in Firefox 147 by visiting […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

A section of the about:settings page that shows the following checkboxes:

* Enable Picture-in-Picture video controls (followed by a "Learn more" link)
* Keep playing videos in Picture-in-Picture when switching tabs

The Dodgers' pitchers glove kinda makes it look like he's holding a bunch of bananas. #ladodgers #torontobluejays

A still from the behind-the-mound camera at Game 3 of the World Series game where the Toronto Blue Jays play the LA Dodgers.

The Dodgers pitcher has a very yellow glove.

If I was Specsavers, and I'd paid for this behind-the-plate ad... I'd ask for my money back. #torontobluejays #ladodgers

A piece of found poetry, which I think is called "BUSINESS HOURS".

A sign on a door reads:

BUSINESS HOURS
WE OPEN most days about 9 or 10.
Occasionally as early as 7.
But SOME DAYS as late as 12 or 1.
WE CLOSE about 5.30 or 6.
Occasionally about 4 or 5.
But sometimes as late as 11 or 12.
SOME DAYS or afternoons,
We aren't here at all.
And lately I've been here just about all the time.
Except when I'm someplace else.
But I should be here then, too.

We now go live to me opening up my post PTO inbox:

An image of somebody kneeling in a driveway and getting absolutely blasted in the face by a 2L bottle of Diet Coke that presumably just had a single Mentos mint dropped into it.

Found this at my parents place. This was a pretty important book to young Mike, who was trying to learn to make computer games.

A text book from Microsoft entitled "Microsoft QuickBASIC Compiler - For IBM Personal Computers and Compatibles"

Is there a Tumblr or something that's collecting all of these pictures of people on various trading floors grimacing? (Image credit: TIMOTHY A. CLARY / AFP via Getty Images)
