Next year for Halloween, Disney needs to team up with a candy company to make a bag full of Summerween loser candy. I’m personally craving some gummy chairs

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a picture of a boat you like.
Probably the titular ship from Voyage of the Mimi because of course that’s the only boat I would already have in my camera roll

Do you remember in Dragnet (1987) when a flatbed truck pulls up hauling a trashed car and the door opens/falls off, revealing a long-haired Tom Hanks as Detective Pep Streebeck? I can’t find that, but you can have this

A little charcuterie sundae that I made for myself the other day and couldn’t come up with a decent enough joke about it to bother posting. It is a meat stick, dried apricots, and cashews in a cute little glass dish. Alt text still disappears below the keyboard because the Bluesky devs don’t have the slightest bit of pride in their work. Oh sure now that I’ve insulted them it’s working just fine

It’s just 9 characters too long, but I really didn’t want to pair any of it down. The extent of my Zevon collection is one double disc compilation, so I don’t think I can claim to be one of the loners, but I recognize the thing inside that you don’t feel comfortable sharing with others
But loving Warren Zevon remains a lonely pursuit. Or, should I say, an interest that one chooses to pursue alone, preferably while drinking all the salty margaritas in Los Angeles, because his songs recognize something true and deep inside your heart that you don’t feel comfortable sharing with most people.

Today’s Finch question of the day:

When do you admit summer is over each year?
- First crisp morning
- When you dig out a jacket
- When it's actually cold (selected)
- Never, shorts forever

A picture of a cow choosing between two paths, both of which lead to the same door. The label on the first path is “make a good game” but has been crossed out and “be the green one” is written beneath it. The other path is labeled “Make a bad game” but this is also crossed out and “Be the gray one” is written beneath it. The path leads to a door labeled “Get fired”.  The entire picture is labeled “The illusion of free choice”
