If you’re considering a commissioned piece from @actualkatherine.bsky.social I can say this one was a big hit as a gift! A landscape of the Sisson St Park, gifted to the park’s main steward. Thanks Emma!
Art piece made from bright and complex paper cuttings, with a gazebo, small fence, flowers and plants, and a storage container with an alligator and fun designs. Blue sky with white clouds. An artistic view of the park if you’re looking north from the sidewalk.

Me to HBO after the final scene in tonight’s (very funny) Chair Company:
Tim Robbins in I Think You Should Leave, looking unsure, with the caption “I don’t know if you’re allowed to do that.”

The Remington fire today reminds me of 2019, when that train derailed close to where the fire is today. This general area also currently under discussion for large new power lines and the new trash “transfer station” (dump). They’ve had to deal with a lot.
A half-dozen rail cars hang off the tracks, some having fallen off the curving bridge tracks and onto the road/surfaces below.

HUGE appreciation for the firefighters doing everything possible. (WBAL has live feed from their chopper on YouTube)
Screenshot from WBAL helicopter footage of a firefighter at the top of a truck ladder, high above a burning building.

He’s going for this classic look:

Mitch McConnell waves and smiles but looks confused. He’s supported up by two men.

Immediate Emmy for the salesman (Jared Lindner).
Tim Robinson’s character (one of five Ron’s) interacts with Jared Lindner playing a suit salesman in the show The Chair Company. They stand on opposite sides of a sales counter.

Balloon Plant balloonin’ at Sisson St park.
A narrow-leaved cotton bush (aka balloon plant) has seed pods inflated that look like spiky green balloons or nutsacks depending on your sense of humor.

I’ll admit “groyper” is a word I’ve seen but never really knew what it meant, so I looked it up. This from Wikipedia is informative but I’m guessing reading the wiki article is more than the big newsrooms will do.
Highlighted Wikipedia text on “groypers” reads: At the 2019 Politicon convention, Fuentes tried to access several Turning Point events featuring its founder Charlie Kirk, including a line to take photos with Kirk and Kirk's debate with Kyle Kulinski of The Young Turks. Security repeatedly barred him from being allowed near Kirk, and Fuentes accused Kirk of suppressing him to avoid a confrontation, as Fuentes had grown critical of Kirk's positions, which he believes are too weak.[25] Kirk and Rob Smith were then questioned by Patrick Casey and other plants in the audience about free speech and homosexuality. Groypers believe that mainstream conservative groups are moving the country leftward and ceding ground on cultural issues by banning members for associating with white nationalists or neo-Nazis and not caring what consenting adults do.

Maryland hospital directions handout included “walk through the crabs.” Was not as exciting as it could have been.
Photo of text on paper that reads “make a right off of the elevator and walk through the crabs to the end of the hallway.”
