I strongly recommend watching Lord of the Rings through a wine glass

A cute little addition to Suikoden 2 Remaster was this light pattern added to the west-facing windows in Neclord's sanctuary, a tiny tribute to his quest in the original where you face him at sunset

I bought a plant and it had a surprise lizard egg in it, so I ended up with a surprise lizard. She (sweetest creature) passed away last year but now I have three other lizards. Allow me to introduce you to the Eastern Collared Lizard, which runs on its hind legs like a velociraptor

Some incredible skies over central PA today

An ominous dark gray shelf cloud hangs over distant buildings.

Clouds draw parallel lines above a straight-horizontal traffic light arm overhanging a rural intersection.

A cloud overlooks the vista like a hummingbird made of firm stool, a 3 on the Bristol scale.

I think generally employees should be discouraged from wearing the One Ring on shift. Invisibility is dangerous in a kitchen setting and the sudden appearance of Nazgûl in the restaurant is likely to set off staff who are already on edge over ICE

Sun headline reads:

RING ON IT: Texas Roadhouse & Olive Garden among restaurants mandating strict 'one ring' policy for diner safety

Give me your favorite non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. James Cromwell, AKA Zefram Cochrane, has a very storied career, but for me, nothing tops his performance as George Sibley in Six Feet Under.

A rite of passage for new employees at CSHL used to be nearly getting hit by the car of James D. Watson. This experience of Watson's driving was so universal it was known to... Jeffrey Epstein and their mutual associates
