Perhaps a friend of this cat whose birthday was advertised in Lowry Hill a few weeks back?

Poster taped to the back of a street sign featuring several small photos of a black cat, with one large photo in the center depicting the cat in a jaunty li’l party hat. The poster’s text reads:

FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS: WE’RE CELEBRATING DORIAN’S FIRST ANNUAL

*BIRTHDAY*

fun games for all, tree climbing, animal tracking & orientation skills, obstacle course, mice, butterflies, raw liver, nap area

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Bring three (3) gifts

PLEASE BE PARTICULARLY NICE TO HIM THIS WEEK IF YOU SEE HIM

No guitar music, *please*!

For more information please read again

@danielobrien.bsky.social I meant to make this updated GIF ages ago. Congrats on all the congratulatable stuff!

So far my favorite solution that I’ve seen is the bathrooms at Lake Monster Brewing in Saint Paul, MN. No tone deaf attempts at being cutesy – just straightforward information that you can use as needed.

A restroom sign with a classy, modern design, depicting symbols for a urinal, a toilet, and a sink. Underneath is the text “RESTROOM. Urinals and stalls. Single-occupancy restroom also located within.” Notice the lack of nonsense about aliens or Spartans or whatever.

I’ve always loved this story. But then I finally saw the original eyewitness sketch, and I fell in love all over again

Black and white drawing of three exceedingly lumpy humanoids with very flat mouths and Klingon-grade forehead wrinkles. One of them is holding a glowstick or perhaps a plutonium rod (described by the witness as a “wand” overhead with both hands).

Got a good picture of the blue supermoon tonight

An image of the threatening and off-putting moon from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, as it comes closer and closer to colliding with the planet
