Dear Malayali dentists: Please spend 5 seconds online before printing your clinic signs.

A blue sign for “PEDO NEST Pediatric And Family Dental Care” mounted outdoors with a yellow arrow pointing right. Somewhere in Kazhakkoottam, Trivandrum. (From Justin.)

Me, trying to make friends. And failing.

A movie still (from “The End of Oak Street”) showing three teenagers at an outdoor backyard gathering, each holding a water balloon. In the center, a girl wearing a purple and green color-block shirt is speaking to a blonde girl in a pink striped top. To the left stands a boy in a white ringer t-shirt and blue athletic shorts. Subtitles at the bottom read, “You’ve never heard of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos?”

“Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?” I choked up just posting this image, so yeah. That year had some incredible movies, but this is mine. Why am I being earnest and not a combo-breaker? New September, new me.

I’d probably leak like a colander, but I just might have found a loophole for supplemental income in these tough economic times.

A storefront view looking through glass doors into a Lovisa jewelry store. Hanging in the window is a circular neon sign that reads “Free Piercing” in white script.

Below the sign, a round pink sticker on a white kiosk reads “FREE GIFT WITH EVERY PIERCING” along with the hashtag “#LOVISAPIERCING”. Inside, customers browse racks of earrings and displays of jewelry under bright store lighting.

I started to read at two-and-a-half years of age. Didn’t know it was a disease (albeit treatable) until I saw this. Lost opportunity.

An outdoor banner for “SAI DHAWAKANA CAMP” displaying typos in its listed treatments. The banner reads:
“GUARANTEED TREATMENT AT OUR CAMP FOR BOTH LADIES & GENTS SEXUAL DISEASE LIKE NIGHT FALLS, PREMATURE EDUCATION, PENIS SMALL IN VEINS, DIFFICULTIES IN MONTHLY COURSE, CHILDLENESS, ACIDITY, DIABETES, PARALYSIS JOINT PAIN, PILES, LEPROSY & SKIN DISEASE”
Below, it offers Ayurvedic medicine and notes “Timeing : 10 AM to 6 PM” and “VEINS CHECK UP RS. 20/-”.

Walked by these stores at the mall and had a violent allergic reaction. What next—explosive diarrhea?

A brightly lit storefront for a Vans Outlet store inside the Vaughn Mills shopping mall features a large, glowing white “VANS OUTLET” sign beneath a tall, dark gray grid facade. An A-frame chalkboard sign near the entrance advertises a “BOGO 50% OFF” promotion, and several shoppers are seen walking through the store browsing shelves of shoes and apparel displays.

The only school shooting I condone.

An underwater photograph shows a scuba diver on a sandy ocean floor looking up at a massive, swirling school of silvery jack fish that forms a dense, towering wall on the right side of the frame. The diver, wearing black gear and fins, holds an underwater camera to capture the immense swirling vortex of fish against the deep blue water.

It’s that long-awaited time of the year, when desi stores witness the glorious arrival of Chaunsa from a neighboring nuclear enemy state. At $50 a box, I’m decimating my retirement funds, but I’d rather feast like a king now than toothlessly sip transgenic fruit molecules through a nanofiber straw.

A short poem or riddle on a cream-colored background. The text reads:

“He visits my town once a year.
He fills my mouth with kisses and nectar.
I spend all my money on him.
Who, girl, your man?
No, a mango.

— Amir Khusrau (1253–1325 CE)”

How do I transapparate, O Lord? The stitches from the last time I walked into a glass door are still healing.

A close-up shot of a dark, textured door featuring a handwritten sign taped to it. The sign is written in black marker on a rectangular piece of white paper, secured on all four sides with thick blue painter’s tape. The text on the sign reads: “PLEASE MAKE SURE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN ENTERING THANK YOU LANDLORD”. To the right of the sign, a vertical black label on the door frame reads “PULL” with the words “STOREFRONT SERVICE” visible at the top.

Pope Leo: 1, Richard Dawkins: 0

A screenshot of a social media thread on X (formerly Twitter) in dark mode, featuring a post by Pope Leo XIV and a subsequent response from the AI assistant Grok.
The main post is by Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), dated May 29, 2026, which reads: “Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas”
Below it, a user named Frank McCormick (@CBHeresy) replies by tagging the AI account: “@grok is this true?”
The AI assistant, Grok (@grok), responds directly to the question: “Yes, the Pope’s description aligns closely with how current AI systems like me actually work. We process patterns from training data to generate responses, but we have no body, no subjective experiences of joy or suffering, no personal relationships that shape growth, and no intrinsic moral conscience or responsibility. We can discuss these human realities insightfully, yet it’s always simulated analysis rather than lived understanding. Human persons remain fundamentally distinct.”

Probably the song I’ve listened to the most despite older classics, for personal reasons, and for the last decade or more, replaced with Mississauga.

I waited here for an hour, got tired, had a bánh mì, and left. Does that count as transubstantiation? I’m not sure.

A small religious sticker on a rusty metal post in the foreground reads “Rapture is imminent, we’ll be going home, Jesus is coming back soon,” while in the blurred background there is a Chinese-style temple gate, stone lion statues, and a sign that says “Welcome” along a green roadside.

My first “Rocky” ever. Left an indelible impression, thanks to childhood imprinting and that tiny dress.

Vintage-style movie poster for 1981 Hindi movie “Rocky” showing a shirtless man (Sanjay Dutt, debut role) and a woman in a floral dress (Tina Munim) draped across a yellow Honda motorcycle on a beach, with ocean waves in the background and bold distressed text “ROCKY” along with film credits at the bottom.

Brought to mind a Twitter joke from a decade ago.

A colorful outdoor sculpture of the Hindu goddess Kamadhenu, a divine bovine creature with the body of a white cow, the head and torso of a woman, feathered wings, and a peacock’s tail. She wears traditional Indian jewelry and a floral garland. Below her stands a small Shiva Lingam. Overlaid text in red reads: "Disappointed that the cow goddess is called Kamadhenu and not Moodevi." —@poisonaavi.

Medicine bottle, Kindle, handkerchief, USB cable, foot file, orange peel, etc. The best—or rather, my favorite—is the custom-made one from the offspring, who was selling them during the pandemic. Took two decades for it all to come together, but hey, worth the wait.

A rectangular illustrated laminated bookmark lies on a textured light gray surface. Near the top, against a purple starry background with three colorful planets, a yellow framed box contains a handwritten Carl Sagan quote: “Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors.” The credit “– Carl Sagan” appears beneath the text. Below the quote is a stylized drawing of Carl Sagan with folded arms, wearing a yellow blazer over a red turtleneck and yellow pants. The background behind the figure is solid purple with small speckles, and the initials “N.M.” are written in the bottom left corner of the bookmark.

Couple of friends were sharing this.

A humorous graphic shows Earth on the left and the Sun on the right against a black space background. A dotted line runs between them. Near the Sun, a tiny dot along the line is labeled “palakad” with a white arrow pointing to it, implying that Palakkad is extremely hot, almost as close to the Sun as possible.

Celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by going to a Thai restaurant with a Chinese name (Wang Lang), ordering Singaporean beer (Tiger), and a panoply of amazing dishes I’d never had before, but no green curry, with a Scotswoman, in true Irish fashion. Hooray for cultural salad bowls. An evening well spent. 🍀

A clear mug of light beer with a foamy head sits on a restaurant table, with another similar mug and plates of food around it, while people in the background chat and eat in a warm, softly lit setting.
