I continue to love that canada went with the spinal tap approach to aqhi (it goes 1-10+ but 10 is the top of the scale)

Taking a break from the world with one of my most prized possessions
The Stan Rogers album fogarty’s cove playing on a record player, with the record sleeve propped up next to it. 
The album cover is great, it’s an incredibly bright colour and has a picture of Stan Rogers looking happy smiling in an oval frame. It’s great!The record liner notes to the album fogarty’s cove. they are laid out in handwriting

One great thing I did in 2025 was get a good camera and take some photos. You get to go on little photo adventures and get cool pictures out of it. And meet a lot of cats.

A fancy tuxedo cat sitting like a cat (weird) on a deck railing post. His back legs / butt are up on the fence post but his front legs are perched elegantly on the fence, which is far enough below the height of the fence post that he looks silly. He is in profile, turning his head to the left to face you. He is looking directly in to your soul which would be scary but he is an idiot doofus soft boy so he isn’t scary

A very tasty caramel looking apple cake. It looks tasty and brown and caramelized from being cooked in a skillet and then flipped out. There are visible apples and walnuts on the cake. It is a low cake, less than the height of a cast iron skillet. It is about the size of a ten inch cast iron skillet. A big slice cut from a very tasty caramel looking apple cake. It looks tasty and brown and caramelized from being cooked in a skillet. There are visible apples and walnuts on the cake. It is a low cake, less than the height of a cast iron skillet. There is a large dollop of whipped cream on top of the spice.

Tesla continuing to have to invent "regular cars" from first principles, turns out cars have manual door handles for good reasons (not killing people)
“The idea of combining the electronic one and the manual one together into one button, I think, makes a lot of sense,” von Holzhausen told Bloomberg. “That’s something that we’re working on.”

I can’t speak exactly to the pdf markup situation since I don’t have a kobo stylus but the black text in PDFs with colour pictures/art look just as good as epub, and if you colour highlight in an epub it doesn’t affect the rest of the text noticeably

Excuse me? That does seem like a major issue
A screenshot of the text of an article

The phrase “Too many deer-eating plants” is highlighted

The full text reads:

The report lists several factors contributing to these issues:
• Tree diseases
• Too many deer-eating plants
• Dumping by residents
• Invasive species
• Off-leash dogs that scare off birds
• Plant poaching and foraging by people
• Too much recreational use-too many people and not enough woodland
It paints a bleak picture of the future.

show me your pet and what they’re named after
Two cats, one tuxedo and one white with black patches, lie on outdoor stairs. They are lying in the same position, but mirrored left to right, one two stairs above the other. The top cat is Dipper (tuxedo), the lower cat is Mabel (white with black patches). Mabel Pines and Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls

Yes! I was adopted by a pair of semi-ferals who are now semi-indoor buds after my elderly cat passed earlier this year and it’s so interesting to see their relationship! (Dipper is in front, Mabel at the back)
Two cats lying on a chair near each other. One is mostly black with white socks and belly and chest and the other has more white fur.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Some times I like to look at,,, my crane
A photo of a very cool large Lego crawler crane that is yellow and gray on a wood deck, it has lots of neat beams and stuff and looks like it actually works. There are cables and things and it looks like a big ass crawler crane but Lego. It is based on the liebherr lr3000 crane. Just cool as shit stuff.

I have to roll mine up when they’re not actively in use because it’s one of Leon’s fave places to lie (I think it’s box instinct!) (Unrelated Leon picture)
