Sometimes you just see something random on the timeline and it makes you happy. Random artist, I don't know who you are, but the fact that you've included both Reynard and Anansi has made me smile for the first time today. I'm not sure I've ever seen those two together before.

Apologies. The bear in the previous post was bear 910, the runner-up in Fat Bear Week. This is Backpack

A pair of images, the first showing a moderately sized brown bear and the second showing a fucking tank covered in brown fur. Both pictures are labelled "89 Backpack" and they show the impressive weight gain that a grizzly bear puts on before winter starts.

This is Backpack, the winner of 2026 Fat Bear week. Like most women, I would rather spend an evening with him than with a Cornell frat boy.

A mostly round shaped brown bear roughly the size of a Humvee. His head looks tiny in relation to his massive body, but I wouldn't laugh at him if I were you.

When you've been a Cal fan since the 1980s, it does something to you.

me - Shhh. We don't celebrate until at least an hour after it's over - it's Cal, they can still find a way to lose.
Godzilla - Man, you have been a Bears fan for a really long time.

I'm less impressed with the dialect quiz pinpointing my home town when one of the questions is effectively "Are you from the Bay Area?"

A quiz question: "What do you call a public railway system (normally underground)?" with possible answers "the subway","the L or the El", "the T", 'the metro", "BART", "other." BART is the selected answer.

I have always loved this meme - I've called it the Gen X pantheon, but honestly? You could replace every one of them with Dolly and still have it work.

The gen X pantheon - pictures of 6 celebrities with captions beneath:

Bob Ross - Be kind to yourself
Mr. Fred Rogers - Be kind to others
Steve Irwin - Be kind to animals
David Attenborough - Be kind to Earth
Al Yankovich - Be kind of weird
LaVar Burton - Read a book

During Trump's first term, I thought about this tweet almost every day. Now, between the President and AI bros, I'm lucky if I can go an hour without thinking about it.

Hitchcock also edited collections of mysteries (presumably from his magazine) and the stories aren't all winners, but most of them are. Dude was like Kirkland - would put his name on anything, but it's always high quality.

The New Testament isn't my area of expertise, but I don't understand why we're not talking more aggressively about Matthew 25. It seems very clear that ICE agents are condemning themselves to hell and they really should be made aware of that.

Matthew 25:41-46, King James version

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Folks this morning talking about not wanting vehicles to go back to the '70s, and of course they're right, but the Datsun 620 pickup truck makes a strong counter-argument.

A yellow-orange schoolbus colored small pickup truck from the 1970s. It has just two doors, no space behind the bench seats, and a proper bed. The platonic ideal of a pickup truck.

My social media experience got a lot better when I (mostly) stopped rage quoting. Shouting "fuck these fuckers" doesn't drive engagement, but it has the exact same practical effect and it gives me more time to hang out with not-my-cat.

Found these in the back of a drawer a couple weeks ago. Too cringe to wear today or not cringe enough?

Straight outta the 1990s, it's Freedom Rings! 6 colored metal rings (each about an inch in diameter) on a beaded metal chain (like for military dog tags).
