NVM again.
CobosBBQ tweet saying people are investing in his business so he's not closing.

I know that, in the wake of Daylight Saving Time, it seems like it's getting way too dark, way too early, but has anyone stopped to consider the possibility that it's still too bright for this sweepy weepy baby?
A liittle gray-and-white cat, curled in a ball on top of a heating pad. Her paws are over her eyes to block out the scant amount of sunlight.

The one thing this guy's supposed to be good at is borders.
A screenshot of a tweet from the White House. The tweet is just a Knicks logo, with the words "Trump is your president." The entire logo has a blue border around it, except in one area, where the orange just bleeds out into the background. That part is circled here in red.

Walked in this volcano, too. Shout out @spenceinaustin.bsky.social.

Walked on this.
An outcropping of granite, covered in lichen and framed by chapparal atop Teutonia Peak.

Man, I just picked so many apples yesterday. I'm not going to a grocery store for more.
Three bags filled with Red Rome, Fuji, and Evercrisp apples.

Same guy who wrote this btw.
Sorry, but reality is reality. The Jays are a fine team and organization. They've made the playoffs three of the last five years. Toronto is a beautiful city, too, but for non-hockey sports, there's a small-time feel to the place.

The prompt for this week's photo challenge was "texture." The extra credit was "side lighting." Mission accomplished, I think.
A wooden post, painted yellow. The wood itself peels and curls in the warm light.

Found Clippy in the wild.
A wooden post with a chain looped around it and two red reflectors. Hilariously, together they sort of resemble Clippy, of Microsoft fame.

Oh! Oh! I know! I know! Pick me! 🙋‍♂️
"'It's hard tk see this when you're giving out 10-game suspensions for cheating, but you give the Astros no suspensions at all." Carlos Rodón chimes in, ignoring that one infraction carried specific penalties within the letter of the rule and the other would need to be added after the fact.

Makes me think of 2015.
A tweet from the Astros on December 10, 2014: "Note the date of the Taylor Swift 1989 tour show at #MMP is subject to change if it conflicts with an #Astros postseason home game." The tweet got roundly dunked on, all for the concert to actually get moved when the Astros did make the playoffs the next year, for the first time since 2005.

"This was the largest auto that I could afford."

When The Far Side ran this Jane Goodall cartoon, the executive director of the Jane Goodall Institute wrote that, "readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying the news to persons with a better than average intelligence."
Two chimpanzees on a branch. One is grooming another and saying, "Well, well, another blonde hair... conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"

Fun little outing. Highly recommend.
Red berries against a sea of dark green leaves. A towering sequoia rises up against a blue sky, not unlike me rising up against BlueSky itself. A boulder absolutely caked in light green lichen. A fallen log with a Charlie Brown-like zigzag pattern of breakage.

I started shadow drafting for the Rockies in 2017 and if they had never signed a single free agent, never made a trade, but simply drafted and retained the same players as me, they'd have thirty more wins.
A spreadsheet showing all the players I have fake-drafted and their WAR, which was 26.1 in 2025, compared to the actual Rockies' -3.6. The players: Mark Vientos Connor Wong Cody Bolton Kyle Nelson Jeremiah Jackson Brandon Lockridge Konnor Pilkington Terrin Vavra Jarren Duran Kyren Paris Kyle Stowers Hayden Wesneski Anthony Veneziano Garrett Mitchell Cole Henry Harry Ford Bryan Woo Hunter Goodman Will Warren Andrew Alvarez Alex Freeland Troy Melton Troy Taylor Jakob Marsee Nathan Church Chase Dollander Nick Kurtz Payton Tolle

Inspired by Claude Debussy's "La Mer," I set out to make the ocean look like a pointillist painting.
The ocean, a soft aqua, with long exposures to smooth it out. About two thirds of the way up the frame, it meets the pale blue sky.

The follow-up post is the best part.
A reply saying, "Edit: I just discovered Malcolm X was a member of the Nation of Islam rather than a Christian. Will keep this in mind in future."

Walked on this.
A lone tree, branches nearly bare, stands on top of a small sandstone ridge, overlooking the Antelope Valley beyond.

Come the eff on.
The Orioles-Dodgers Win Probability chart. The Dodgers' probability climbs steadily higher, peaking at what looks an awful lot like 100%, only to plummet straight down as the Orioles walk it off.
