Even assuming, as one might from how young he looks, that this photo was taken back when men were wearing their jackets tight and cropped, the depicted fit is just egregious.
Jacob Bernstein, in a photo that I'm guessing was taken taken many years ago. He is wearing jeans, a white shirt, a black tie, and a blue sport coat that he presumably bought at The Children's Place.

I feel like Belly's second album, King, was pretty slept-on, but it absolutely rules. "Now They'll Sleep" is one of my favorite songs by anyone.
The cover of the album King, by the band Belly.

Lol, currently on her website (if you stay right, you don't have to get right):
A snip from the biography section of Leigh Alexander's website, which reads, "I spent ten years as a progressive critic, website editor, and presenter in technology and games, usually controversially (oops), and my work is still concerned with the complexities of existing in digital spaces. "I'm passionate about and influenced by: Text adventures, reality television, music videos, consumer aesthetics (especially the space-age poptimism of Y2K), Tarot and other systems of prediction, genre blends and remixes, technomancy, malls, cultural garbage, Sailormoon, The Thong Song and magical realism. "Many of my current projects are unannounced, but a selection of some of my favorite representative works are here." I have highlighted, "I'm passionate about and influenced by," and, "The Thong Song."

Once again reminded that I have a real tendency for Sephiroth-posting when I'm not paying enough attention to my writing voice. At least I'm Sephiroth-posting for good, I guess.
An image of a quote skeet. The original says, "it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying 'I wish ill on JK Rowling' is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people. reinstate Jessie, thus is ridiculous." My comment is, "Here, let me use my cisgendered, hetero, privileged voice to say I too wish ill upon JK Rowling. Anyone who aspires to decency should wish ill on someone who works to take rights away from our trans siblings, or any other human beings."

If you see this, post a bad woman you love

(This might be more of a "Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good" scenario, but Crystal does do a whole lot of murders in this movie.)

Apparently yesterday was National Perfect Babbies Day, and I did not post any pictures of the babbies. I regret the error.
A calico cat lies stretched out on a blue couch. Her front end and back end are twisted like 90 degrees and all her legs are extended and her little belly is showing. An orange tabby lies on his side, on the same blue couch but at a different time. He has one forepaw paw near his face, his little jackrabbit legs are sticking out a bit, and he seems contemplative.

This little goblin, who lives on our porch, got herself a chicken wing at some point. I thought someone should know, so I'm telling you all.
A tuxedo cat eats wet food off of a saucer on a concrete porch. To her immediate left is a metal food bowl, and to the left of that is a cooked chicken wing.

Google Photos keeps sending push notifications to my phone, like daily, inviting me to look at my "memories," and let me save us both a click, Google Photos, it's a picture of a cat. They're all pictures of the cats. (Example attached, obviously)
Close up of a sleepy orange cat on a blue sofa. His adorable little face is partially obscured by his adorable little paw.

I'm a cool guy who does cool stuff, like sitting indoors watching TV but with cool sunglasses on (I went to the eye doctor and have anime pupils).
A white man with a beard looks into the camera. He is wearing sunglasses, a gray tshirt, and a pair of Koss KSC-75 headphones. Behind him, an adorable calico cat sits atop a cat tree, looking out the window.

Okay, time to stop doomscrolling and go do something useful, like feed the porch cat.

(I post this both as self-motivation, and as motivation to whomever is reading this and also might need it)
A tuxedo cat, chonky, with a tipped ear, sits on a porch in front of the wrought-iron railing, looking grumpily at something off-camera.

If there's one good thing about unemployment, it's being able to spend more of my day with adorable sleeping cats. Pay ain't great, but it's pretty low-stress.
An orange tabby cat with a white muzzle sleeps on his side. His little paws are up by his face, and one back leg is fully extended.

Let's try to observe what this cat is up to
A photo of a calico cat from above. She is lying on her back, and has her two little forepaws near her face, and her two little rear legs spread out. We're mostly looking at a white, furry belly.

Team, I think one of the neighborhood cats left us a gift of fried chicken out on our porch tonight, and I can't tell you how good that makes me feel about myself.
A photo from inside a home's security door showing a piece of white meat fried chicken right in the center of the path between the porch stairs and the front door. In the foreground right next to the door is the grumpy tuxedo cat who lives on the porch looking inside and judging everyone. Did she leave the chicken? Maybe. Maybe? Did another neighborhood cat leave the chicken? I would assume so. Either way, it is true that our home has been blessed by a street cat, which is one way to get into heaven, I contend.

*very Peter Dinklage voice*: That sizzurp came from the Moon!
A carton of Capri Sun pouches that I impulse-bought at the grocery store. The limited edition flavor is MOON PUNCH, and it has a graphic of a giant pouch of Capri Sun against a starry sky. On the graphical pouch itself is a further graphic of the full moon against, again, a starry sky. There is a yellow, rocket-ship shaped text box in the upper right of this side of the carton, exhorting the consumer to collect all eight glow-in-the dark moon phases on the individual pouches. Having already drunk a pouch of that New Moon, I can tell you that the fruit punch they make on the moon tastes, perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot like the fruit punch they make on Earth.

Facebook decided I should see this. I don't know what comic it's from, and it makes less than zero scientific sense, but kind of one million percent Superman sense, so sure okay I now believe Superman can smell brownies in a closed environment in space.
Three panels of a comic page, with two above a wide panel on the bottom. Panel one: Speedy says, "Is it just me, or does he seem kind of h--" "HIGHLY UNSTABLE," Batman interrupts. "Superman, I want you back in the infirmary, NOW." Panel two: Superman says, "Wait, do you smell that? Somebody's making brownies." SFX: sniff sniff Panel three: Superman continues, "Yes! Brownies! In North Dakota! We have to go to North Dakota. RIGHT. NOW. Guys?"

I was deleting my Twitter DMs, as one does too late, and that's how I rediscovered that the first DM I ever recieved was from @anildash.com I guess getting after me for my love of Burger King?

Everybody look at this cat
A calico cat lies on her back, with her little rear legs splayed and her little forelegs raised above her head. Absolutely ridiculous. Just an absurd creature.

Our orange boy meows at us when we play music, and we're not sure if he's expressing pleasure, or like, the contempt of a murderer's heart for the appreciation of beauty, like that's prey behavior.
A photo from the front of an orange cat on a bed, in sphinx position. He has cloudy eyes from an upper respiratory infection when he was an alley kitten, a little white muzzle, and big ol' radar-dish ears.

You KNOW I think revenge porn is vile
MY SPOUSE: Absolutely
ME: BUT!
A tweet from Grimes that says, "Sexuality and kinks are simply different for everyone. Many Fortune 500 CEOs enjoy being pegged. It shouldn't change your opinion of them. Some even record it. Even if those videos were to leak, seeing a successful auto-maker or social media owner being ruthlessly destroyed shouldn't be the end of his career and that person definitely shouldn't be mad at his ex because it was her video that got uploaded."

Ger-bear had a long day of making friends with the guys who were here to (finally, finally 🤞) figure out where the leak in our roof is, and now he's tuckered out.
An overhead shot of an orange cat napping on the photographer's lap. The photographer's blue jeans and red flannel shirt are visible beneath the cat.

A photo from above of a calico cat on a couch, curled up on her side/back, with one forepaw laid against her face. She is leaning against the blue-jeaned leg of your humble correspondent.
