I was amused by my “last four watched” on Letterboxd, but after thinking it over there’s a weird metaphysical thread through all of these. 😂

Quote from Janow claiming the grocery story has $9 pears as a “normal” fruit. Pears are commonly $3-4 per pound and less than 1 pound each.

Mood
Panel from Tove Jansson’s Moomin. Papa Moomin says to the Snufkin “Tell us all that’s happening out in the world!” And the Snufkin responds “Fuss and misery…”

I bought “The Fifth Elephant” ages ago on a rec from @hels.bsky.social with minimal Discworld knowledge. I finally started it this weekend and have been laughing way more than I usually do at “funny” books. I’m delighted to see where it goes!

Pretty certain you have to click this or something similar. I’m all for criticizing shitty uses of AI, but at least be accurate.

A few bits got singed, but I’m pretty happy with how this apple pie turned out.

First pies out of the oven. Crust looks a bit overdone, but we’ll see.
