Having a great time thinking about this guy who equates being straight and male to "eating oatmeal and thinking about pigeons."

Guy complaining about Sesame Street no longer having any straight men who adds, among other complaints, "My kid deserves to see someone who just wants to eat oatmeal and think about pigeons and apparently that's just not something modern Sesame Street has room for anymore."

A older woman at the farmer's market today was (understandly) upset because she thought a man in a tank top has a white supremacist tattoo on their shoulder. Dear reader, the tattoo:

Loss.jpg, as a minimalist array of lines divided into quadrants.

Man, can I just say writing alt text has challenged me in philosophical ways I could have never pondered if I just ignored this great little accessibility feature.

When I write descriptions I write them the way I imagine sighted people would read them, but doesn't that defeat the point of these things?

Like, how the hell do I describe a minimalist depiction of loss.jpg to someone who has no visual concept of what a line is?

How the heck do I describe minimalism?

Okay, so it's like the visual equivalent of a brief audio cue that you can use to shorthand a much more complicated idea.

Like instead of describing a lurid sex scene, you just say bow-chika-bow-wow. Like that's minimalist. Or if you want to convey your love of Island in the Sun by Weezer but instead of playing the whole song you just go, "hip hip".

Every time I try to explain it, I hit on a word like, line, or panel, or color, or angle, and I have to stop because I realize a person who does not have a sense of vision has a completely different understanunderstanding of those words.

It's like that, but with vision. A visual shorthand. It's a way to condense a meme into the smallest box possible.

So what is the minimalist loSs.jpg? It's the visual equivalent to a one second sound clip that immediately gives away the song.

So how does that apply to loss.jpg?

Did you know that sometimes cicadas emerge wearing little sunglasses they made themselves

Is Gilbert (pronounced Jill-behr) Dauterive a queer icon? Delicate French-Cajun patois. Delicious affinity for suits. Lives in Louisiana manor with three belles. Self-published zine of "letters" he describes as his legacy. John Waters mustache. Misattributes Tennessee Williams to Lucretius.

Gentleman in an off-white (bleached bone) suit with pale blue vest, white collar shirt, and solid red tie, standing with one arm across his chest support the other arm raised up with his hand supporting his cheek, pinky bent to the side of his mouth beneath a pencil mustache.

His eyebrows are raised in a sympathetic gaze. His hair is brown and kept short to the skull, save for the generous swoop over the top of the forehead meant to salvage a slightly receding hairline. There is a weight to it, likely from a life spent under the wet and heaving bayou sun.

There is a small mole above his left dimple. His eyes are tired and small, but he is unmistakenly handsome. A man who is thin by way of his own manners and dignities.

In Jonah Tong's first AAA start with Syracuse, his 7th potential K through 4 innings of one hit ball was overturned when a sinker low in the zone was found to be just a tenth of an inch off. Millimeters.

Imagine a large egg shaped head with large spherical shoulders that support thin, spindly limbs. The right hand has three "fingers" and the left hand is a larger, two pronged claw.

I need to talk to the food photographer who took this photo and ask them to explain to me how they think a hot dog is supposed to look.

The hot dog from the Checkers & Rally's menu. It is on its side, floating on a checkered napkin in a white void. The dog itself is bare. Naked. A nude pup, but lubed up on top and bottom is ketchup and mustard, respectively. Two thin lines of condiments while the bun is, again, on its side. If I saw someone plate their hot dog like this I would immediately shoot them because, filthy deceiver, you have been found out to be not of my flesh, not of my creed, undress yourself from the bones of my people and reveal your true form so that I may vanquish you in the righteous name of my God.

I know we're in a country taken over by fascism but I have something more important going on. Somehow, the pizza place FORGOT TO PUT CHEESE ON MY PIZZA. And yet they remembered to add pepperoni. How did this happen.

A pepperoni pizza without cheese. No cheese at all. Just sauce and pepperoni.

Quick question for both of you what is the best car in the game and why is it the Colby Butte
