Look at these cute AF shoes, though.
A close up of a single shoe on a pale foot, resting on a striped hotel carpet. The shoe is off white lace with an undyed linen bow on the toe area, and a striped wooden kitten heel. The dress is a whiter off-white linen with burgundy trees and flowers on it.

So Space Force's @ is wrong, we don't have a Department of Defense any more.

It would be a shame if someone squatted on @spaceforcedow...
A screenshot of the BlueSky user United States Space Force, showing that their @ is @spaceforcedod despite the fact that the USA doesn't have a Department of Defense any longer. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

My Haribo gummy bears came in a nuclear family set...

Those two gummy bears are TINY.
A photo of a set of four gummy bears on a white background that has a red stripe. The first bear is clearish and normal sized, the last bear is red and normal sized. I have named them Maude and Jean-Claude. The second bear is orange and skinny and short. His name is Remy. The third bear is clear and smaller than normal, but not as small as Remy. Her name is Marguerite. They were delicious.

It did get this one, but only after it guessed wrong (Dr. Alan Grant was its first guess), and I allowed it to continue.
The Akinator guessing correctly that I was thinking of Twoflower from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

Wtf
The Akinator correctly guessed I was thinking of Mr. Green, from Clue.

Screenshot of a poem by @DoYourDrafts, tilted "On Google Searching Facts About the Sun" "You can't see a thing If it is not there But how is it doing Do you even care? It's burned for an eon Or maybe a few Seen dinosaurs die And warmed me and you. But what's the sun's name, Has anyone asked it? Have we bothered to check Or send a gift basket? It's fostered such life Without it we're effed But just how much longer Has our sun got left?"

This is why Sinclair caved. Their stock has lost more than Disney's and they're realizing we know who is ordering it all and will pressure them, too.
5 year by month chart of Sinclair Inc (SBGI) stock value showing it going steadily down since 2021, having a resurgence in November 2024, but having lost 1.64% in value from yesterday's start of business. Disney has only lost 0.94% for comparison.

Here's a 5-year chart of DIS stock value, showing monthly avg values:

The dip has continued this morning, but it's not even the lowest Disney stock has been in the last 5 years.

If we can keep it going, like we have with Tesla stock, THAT will make a difference.
5-year stock value chart for The Walt Disney Corporation stock value (symbol DIS) showing that though this current dip is funny and deserved, it is not the lowest they've been in the last year or so.

She looks like she's about to over-extend to reach a cup on a ledge and fall backwards into a misty abyss.
A still from the Indiana Jones movie The Last Crusade, shows Indiana Jones's leather clad arm and he tries to hold onto the blonde Nazi Elsa Schneider, dressed in white and black, as she tries to reach across a bottomless chasm to grab the Holy Grail, a gilded wooden cup that rests on a ledge. She ignores all pleadings to stop reaching for it and just give him her other hand so he can hold on and pull her up, and will fall to her death in the next few moments after this. Moral of the story is that when someone offers you a hand up and sets you free from danger, you do not go on being a greedy Nazi.

Holy shit, he cribbed a real painting, flipped it, and then did a bad fanart version with even more horrible people, then also painted in Washington even though he wasn't in the original as he wasn't there at the time.

Signing of the Declaration of Independence, by Charles Édouard Armand-Dumaresq
An unfinished painting showing four of the members of the Declaration committee being offered a quill with which to sign the declaration by Hancock at his desk, up on the dias on the left, and other members seated at their own green-clothed tables discussing it, and some members standing at the right in front of the tables, asking to be recognized to speak by raising their hands.

I saw a definition of "Alright" in 'Agatha Annotated' yesterday, and it reminded me of your post.
"Alright" "Found in The Secret Adversary (1922), chapter 25 Jane's Story" "Also spelled 'all-right' and 'all right,' this version is more often used in British English than in American English and some folks find it really, really wrong, even though it's quite commonly used."

Metallic orange is just copper.
A white text box with black letter reading "somehow ea-nasir returned" over a photo of a shiny copper wrapped Tesla cyber truck. Subpar copper is subpar copper, no matter what company tries to sell it.

His fake cursive is imitated below
A yellow sticky note sits on a mousepad showing The Great Wave painting. On the sticky note is printed "Something Like This," in a font that joins all the letters but is not cursive in any way.

Lol last buzzed person I saw get on a plane got arrested and taken off it by cops, because buzzed turns to drunk very quickly.
A petite blonde white lady in a dark blue shirt and black yoga pants is escorted off the gangway from an airplane by two white cops, one of which looks like he's entirely done with life in general and the schnockered blonde lady in particular. The lady has a vacantly amused expression on her incredibly drunk face. She does not understand she's facing up to a $5k fine and up to 6 months in jail, nor does she comprehend she's banned from Alaska Airlines for life. I hope she sobered up the next morning and was mortified and horrified.

Daveydid?
A green katydid sits on a white car roof, with a dark brown fence in the background. The katydid is probably named Dave.

These cameras with their anti-bird accessories look like the next big group on the Punk Rock scene.
A group of four white outdoor security cameras with anti-bird spikes on top of them gaze in every direction except at the photographer. I have no doubt they saw me anyway.

Mt Rainier looks so pretty.
A lovely photo, if I do say so myself, of Mount Rainier framed against a blue sky. It's pretty hazy, but not cloudy.

A tan colored deer headed Chihuahua sleeps under a red blanket. Her front paws are exposed and curled up, and they and her face rest against a white Lambchop stuffed toy.

Can one of the villain's henchpets be a Chihuahua who thinks she's a cat, and is barely tolerated because she's slightly better at distracting people?
A tan-colored deer-headed Chihuahua is curled up asleep on the back of a couch, in the only Sunbeam coming through a large window. The position looks like a cat thing. The dog is slightly too big to be doing it, and her rear-ended is actually supported by a hammock sling she's made from the curtain.

Zohran Mamdani has a degree from Bowdoin College, and I think that's really apt.
A screenshot of a quote by Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain: "It is something great and greatening to cherish an ideal; to act in the light of truth that is far-away and far above; to set aside the near advantage, the momentary pleasure; the snatching of seeming good to self; and to act for remoter ends, for higher good, and for interests other than our own."

I decided to be a nerd about mine
A screenshot from the Matchington Mansion Mobile game showing a cruise ship's logo and name on the side of the hull. The logo is a large serpent-like creature in blue and purple with a yellow belly. The name of the ship is the "Alterra Aurora." It's a Subnautica video game reference.
