So did this guy
It’s Vince Vaughan from the shoulders up, wearing a tan suit with a white shirt and a red tie. He looks pretty young, yes, I burns, dark hair, and he’s some kind of Caucasian, IMO. Little bit of five o’clock shadow.

White man in a shirt tie coat seen from the mid-section up. Looking to our left past us. Mustache and dark hair. It’s Oscar Isaac from Show Me A Hero.

Better in real life and up close @bxe123.bsky.social The amount of trust the average reply person on this website puts in Jake Tapper seeing something and making a difference is amazing to me. Just thirteen to fifteen people tagging Jake Tapper about fuckin everything. Nov 30, 2025 at 4:06 PM @ Everybody can reply ~

I’m glad it’s dead.
It’s a small black bug upside down. An aegis Egypti mosquito. (Pardon my spelling).

This is a pretty nice sunset
It’s a sunset with no sun, you can see a gradient, orange pink towards blue and the crescent moon is about halfway up the frame about 1/3 from the left edge, the lower quarter and the top left corner and right side margin our trees, some sparse at the top, and there’s one streak of airplane exhaust that’s dissipated pretty heavily, and a very tiny one that has not next to it, about opposite of the Moon, halfway up and the third from the right

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground:

Try this trick, and spin it, (yeah).

Your head will collapse, and there's nothing in it; and you'll ask yourself:

Where is my mind?

@garygulman.bsky.social saw u tonight and have to say my mom was a Tupperware lady, (a “stranger at every Tupperware party”), and as gentiles, she and my dad would be confused as to why I laughed so hard at you Tu Bi’Shvat joke. Anyway here’s me at 6th & I last year playing a grown-up’s Bat Mitzvah.
It’s a POV shot from below a man playing the guitar, you can see the guitar in my hand that I’m wearing a white shirt and it’s me. I’m a white guy with round glasses and a little bit of hair on top and there’s a pink wall behind me, and some speakers and other sconces, you may guess that I’m playing in a theater, though I am not on stage, I’m in the orchestra pit, as it were, at a synagogue

Holy shit, James Urbaniak!
It’s proof that James Armanac, the guy who played our crumb in American splendor, enjoyed a post where I said “holy shit it’s Bob crumb”

I tried to have a pleasant conversation with a candidate over steak and a nice Merlot, but he just wanted to ride the potato sack slide in absolute solitude.

No longer with us, this similar man.
A cute black/brown dog on a tan bone-shaped mat with a chrome water bowl behind him. His right front paw is tucked need his chest, and his left front is white to just past the toes and sticking out on the mat. He has white around the moth and eyes.

This month’s art slaps
A November calendar page with a lithograph of a “bird of Baffin” by artist Aoudia Pudlat and the text below describing the artist and such. The bird looks like a fire. It is pointed and multi-colored, such that you might say you see maybe hundreds of plumes sticking out of the a couple dozen main feather branches - the body and head are orange, and the bird is looking up to the left corner for the white background.

Replace a chud brand with a worker owned brand - these Bob’s are pretty good, with comparable stats and not a weird gluten-free vibe. KIND leaders funded some shit that got it on John Oliver, lol.
It’s a Bob’s red mill, peanut butter, honey, and oats bar over top of a kind breakfast peanut butter box

Repost with an iconic fictional band.

Mine is two.
It’s a photo of a relatively large band wearing formal wear, a couple women upfront and men in the back, and you can see evidence of the guitar, and bowties on the man It’s Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova sitting in a music store. He’s holding a guitar and she’s at a piano. He’s got a scarf on and she’s got a scarf on. He’s got a dark coat and she’s wearing a red sweater. There’s lots of electric guitars on hangers on the wall, and drums in the back.
