I was outside just before dark this evening. I heard a strange buzzy noise from some small aircraft (it was the wrong pitch for most small planes, and was too “buzzy”). It sounded like the shahed drones in videos from Ukraine. I still do not know what that was.

Guess which other narcissistic, mentally unstable authoritarian leader called for an arch and a ballroom to be built as grand monuments to his glory. I'm sure it's just a coincidence . . .

A small human (5?) is staring at a very big (and rather deceased) tarantula mounted, framed and hanging on the wall of a shop. Holding up his hand, then looking at the spider. Then holding up his hand... then looking up at the spider. Then shaking his head emphatically and walking off. Nope.

It's not a dick pic book — It's Rigsby WI Volume 3 and you only have 4 days left to back it on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro... Only $800 left to go before it gets a cover enhancement — the other two books have a UV enhancement on the cover, I'd love it if the third book could match
(Jeordie and Jenna in Jeordie's car. Jeordie is looking through a binder of CDs, Jenna pulls a book from between the seats)
Jeordie: Fine, I'll find something else for us to listen to.
Jenna: (paging through the book) This book looks cool.
Jenna: Oh my god!
Jenna: (holding up the book turned to a Robert Mapplethorpe photo of a nude black man) Why do you have a book full of pictures of dudes dicks?
Jeordie: (reaching for the book) That's...from the library. It's for an assignment.
Jenna: On guys peens? This is just a book of dick pics!
Jeordie: (snatching the book away) It's Robert Mapplethorpe.
Jeordie: And this isn't a dick pic book. It's modern American photography.

Signalling to his allies to attack civilian population centers is (as we all obviously know) the opposite of "keeping the world safe." I look forward to the media hounding Republican candidates about this with the same fervor they've applied to asking Democrats about a popular Twitch streamer.

Was doing more Swedish Death Cleaning and rediscovered this set of drafting tools. They were in his things when he died 7 years ago. My dad went to drafting school and sheet metal layout school; business was cutting & shaping steel. Small shop.
Präcision drafting tools made by E.O. Richter and Co. My dad probably used these in the late 1940s and after that. Or, they could have belonged to my grandfather, who started the business, but needed my dad to help when he returned to the US after WWII. I can’t bear to part with these. The fact that my dad kept them -as one of his few cherished possessions very late in life- means that they had special meaning for him.
