Toad took his clothes out of the closet and put them on. Then he crossed out: Get Dressed.

Toad stands at his closet door, looking at his list. One more item crossed off!

The face of someone who woke me up at 4am to pace the house for an hour for no reason only to fall asleep once he was sure I was completely awake.

A small tan dog is snuggled up and sleeping under a soft, fluffy blanket with dark blue and white patterns, tucked cozily against a beige couch.

Finally got my old Kindle into a HomeAssistant dashboard using tesserae.ink Now I just need to find a way to display it nicely.

A Kindle e-reader is displaying a weather app showing the current weather in South Jordan. The screen shows it is 84°F, clear, and feels like 78°F, with 29% humidity and 15.2 mph winds. The high for today is 93°F, and the low is 58°F. A temperature graph for the day is visible below the forecast. The Kindle is on a desk, with part of a laptop, a small black and orange speaker, and a green frog-shaped object in the background. A butterfly sticker is on the top right corner of the Kindle.

Pepperidge Farms remembers when giving people money (or doing anything at all to help them) was blasted as being inflationary and an affront to the altar of capitalism. But somehow driving the price of diesel, which underpins everything in a consumer’s life, to $6 is NBD.

Put a dash of cardamom bitters in my coffee this morning.

A woman wearing a white sweater, denim pants with more fabric on the leg than knees, and in an Apple picking hat. She’s sitting on a bench enjoying a crisp autumn breeze tossing leaves around. The background has a tree with autumn leaves, a white picket fence, and assorted cars on the street. She’s living her best autumnal life.

I laugh when a GPS glitch makes @transit.app think I went 105mph on a light rail train.

A red-themed trip report showing a route from SLC to South Jordan Parkway Station on a map. The trip occurred from 14:23 to 15:25, covering 18.6 miles in 1 hour 2 minutes with an average speed of 24 mph. A fire icon with a masked driver appears mid-route with a label reading "105 MPH." Coordinates 40.7636, -111.8905 are displayed under the South Jordan Parkway Station label.

Time-lapse shows an increase in water at the North Fork of the Virgin River. The heavy rain caused the river to go from a normal flow of around 35 cubic feet per second to a peak of 5920 cubic feet per second, the 5th-highest peak at this gage on record. 📹: NWS Salt Lake City

Summer monsoon storm at the baseball field. At least we’re under the canopy.

A panoramic view of a baseball stadium shows a game in progress under a dramatic sky with a full rainbow arching over the field. Spectators fill the stands, with the infield and outfield clearly visible. Beyond the stadium, a backdrop of mountains stretches across the horizon, partially lit by the evening sun, while clouds hint at recent rain. The scoreboard and surrounding buildings frame the vibrant scene.

So DHS buys this for $145m, nearly double what it would fetch on the market, lets it sit empty, and is going to quietly unload it at a loss. What shell corporation received taxpayer money and how much of a cut did they promise the Trump PAC?

Brb putting an offer in on the moon house

Satellite images of the Moon’s surface showing two gray, cratered regions side by side. The left image shows a relatively uniform field of small craters, while the right image highlights a new, more prominent crater with bright ejecta rays extending outward. A news banner at the bottom reads: “GET THIS — NASA RELEASE IMAGES OF NEW MOON CRATER — FOUR-BEDROOM HOME LISTED FOR $469,000.” The top right corner has a small NASA label.
