I will say I agree with these results with the caveat that the definition of "weird" here is the one used to describe certain despicable people in the last presidential election cycle.
Test result: Romantic Autumn Core. 3x3 grid with image and text pairings including a mouth with a tongue sticking out and "Nobody knows real me," a distressed face and "Drained by crowds," a neutral face emoji and "Overthinker," a water drop and "Disappears randomly," sunglasses and "intuitive," a red x and "Hates weird people," angel wings and "Too many secrets," an orange leaf and "Good at counseling," and a party popper and "Stressed when plan changes."

Image, icons, and theme courtesy of @pikaole.bsky.social. These sea pancakes give me a little serotonin boost EVERY time I unlock my phone and all the other backgrounds and icons are equally as precious 😭
An illustration showing a stack of 4 rays (the kind that swim in the ocean) stylized as golden griddled pancakes complete with syrup and a pat of butter. They are on a white plate and surrounded by strawberries and blueberries. The plate sits on a blue checkered napkin, and the image has a light pink background.

That moment when your spouse fully endorses your fangirling and gets you a Jasper plushie from @bynightstudios.bsky.social as a surprise. 🥺
Welcome to our vamily, little guy!
Now...Eva plushie when? 🙏🏼
Image of a humanoid plushie dressed in all black with a black hood obscuring most of its face. What is visible is a blue eye and a fanged mouth. The plushie's tag reads "L.A. By Night Jasper." The plushie is resting against a brown shipping box that has a strip of black tape that features a fanged skull emblem and the words "By Night Studios."

Dr. Bunsen, Red Fraggle, and Gonzo the Great.
I... Listen. My public persona does not exude nervous energy, but if you know me well...
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, a Muppet with a round "bald" head, and green-yellow skin. He wears a white labcoat over a white white, red tie, and gray vest. He also wears spectacles even though he does not have any visible eyes. Red Fraggle, a muppet with yellow skin and red-orange hair that is pulled into two pom-pom esque pigtails. She also has a tuft of red-orange hair at the end of her yellow tail. She is wearing a red long sleeved turtleneck. Gonzo the Great, a muppet with blue fur. He has a long curved purple nose that protrudes from his face almost like a trunk. He is wearing a yellow long-sleeved button down shirt with a red chili pepper pattern, a black tie with a pattern of large circles colored reminiscent of citrus fruit, a multicolored belt, and olive-green tweed slacks.

Some of my favorite things about watching the not-for-tv-broadcast version of olympics coverage are moments like this: watching the expressions of Japan's teenage gymnastics team as they watch Simone Biles's floor routine.
Four teenage girls in blue and black patterned leotards look at each other and smile as they applaud. They are standing in the Paris 2024 gymnastics stadium. Canada's gymnastics team and a group of photographers stand behind them.

*grumbly upset noises*

Anyone else encountering this bug in today's Vertex puzzle?
Image from a New York Times Vertex puzzle. An arrangement of brightly colored triangles indicating completed sections, but two spaces remain blank. Each blank section has a single node marked "1" indicating that it should be connected to another node with the value of 1 or greater. All other surrounding nodes are marked "0" so there is nothing to connect to and no way to complete the puzzle.

Gee, thanks Long Beach. Super helpful! 🙄
Screenshot from FAQ section on city website. Bolded question asks, "Do street sweepers run on rainy days?" Answer below reads, "Street sweeping may or may not occur on rainy days. If the streets are too wet, the sweeper will not sweep."
