Pogo Possum and Albert Alligator bath toys from the early 70s. I had a meme playset before anyone knew the future.

Experiment combining two photos of the same person. (Ariana Grande Nov 2024 Vanity Fair)
Feels like there's something there, though I'm not sure I’ve got it quite right yet …

My Dreams Have Always Been Tidy But I Still Can’t Tell You What They Mean

This Xmas tree wrapper was made for slapstick hijinks.
A photo of Christmas tree wrapping tool. It’s a short tube about 18" in diameter with netting on one end. You push the tree in trunk-first and it gets compressed and wrapped for the drive home.

On the wall at the dog shelter. #historysky
A chart at a pet shelter with the caption “Does the e-collar extend 3 inches past the nose?” (An e-collar is the cone put on a dog’s head after it’s had surgery.) Along with several photos of dogs, there is a photo of Queen Elizabeth the First wearing one of those big stiff collars, which hilariously is called a “ruff”.

Spotted this window sticker at a red light and … I guess it’s like moon landing denier stuff?
A window sticker on car. The sticker mimics the shape and colors of the classic NASA logo, but instead of “NASA”, it says “LIES”.

If you randomly asked me how long I've had my Gmail account, I would not immediately say "21 years" because that's fucking crazy.
An alert banner from Gmail that says “G You could lose access to your 21 years of Gmail history. Adding a recovery phone and email can help you sign in and keep your account secure.”

I decided to replace one of the chainrings and put a kickstand on one of my bikes. I put the cranks back on and something seems weird but I can’t put my finger on it …
A close-up photo of the bottom bracket and cranks of a bicycle. One of the crank arms has been installed wrong so that the pedals are on the same side of the crank axle, instead of opposite sides.

Some mornings when I get through all my puzzles quickly, I’ll come to bsky just to see how how quickly I can perfectly line up a user avatar behind the jump-to-the-top button.

Today at the shelter I walked Blue. He is hoping for a career in civil engineering and has some ideas about trail construction.

I wrote about this little homemade religious icon that I found at a thrift store and why these things (religious icon and discarded art) fascinate me.
