I don't know where Bluesky cooked up this algorithm, but it's working today
A screenshot of my Bluesky discover feed, showing two posts. The first post mentions a lovely beach walk, accompanied by a photo of a beach. In the sand, there is a single set of footprints. The second post simply says, "imagine walking down the beach and seeing Jesus carrying some guy"

That face you make when your franchise leader in games played by a goalie is a petulant man-baby
Jordan Binnington, the franchise leader in games played by a goaltender for the St Louis Blues, with his mouth scrunched into a dumb non-smile. His eyes are soul-less, devoid of any joy or emotion.

A perfectly frank & honest piece from Mark, here. The opening paragraph is how every conversation about Q & the others involved should start. Many fans will want to move on, but it's worth repeating this ad infinitum if it compels even just one person to step up when in a similar situation.
A screenshot of the opening paragraph from the linked article: "CHICAGO — Before we get into the hockey of it all, the relative frivolity of a Ducks-Blackhawks game in October, let’s begin with the most important thing. The actions — or more accurately, the inaction — of John McDonough, Joel Quenneville, Stan Bowman, Al MacIsaac, Jay Blunk and Kevin Cheveldayoff led to a child in Michigan getting sexually abused. There’s no getting around that, no burying that. The leadership of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010 was told that assistant video coach Brad Aldrich was preying on young men and decided not to do anything about it, putting the Stanley Cup first, and as a result, Aldrich was free to prey on more young men. Which he did and was convicted of criminal sexual misconduct with a minor in 2013."

Listening to Jesse Welles' new album wasn't a mistake, but hoping it would be a little pick-me-up sure was
A screenshot of Jesse Welles' newest album, Pilgrim, as displayed on a music streaming app. The first track is shown below the album cover and the music controls, and it's titled We're All Gonna Die.

For the 6y/o - this was my drive into work on Monday
Two adult sandhill cranes on a lawn in front of a grassy meadow. A sandhill chick stands near one of the adults; a tiny ball of fluff on little stilts.

If you see this I invite you to post a picture from your device without explanation
A screenshot of a post from Facebook Marketplace. The item for sale is a picture of historically inaccurate White Jesus. It's the bust of a white man with long, brown hair and a beard, at 3/4 profile. The picture is fixed over a wooden board. The edges are cut with multiple angles and curves to look natural, and the woods is stained dark. Both the picture and the wood are heavily lacquered. The part is titled simply, "Jesus", and the price is $10.

10/10 no notes
A screenshot of a reply to a post from a recipes account, in which a Bluesky user posted, "What? People give this sh*t to kids?" The OP replied, stating, "You're right - thanks for catching that! The bio was generated by AI and I didn't double-check it before posting. This Gummy Bear Drink is definitely not for kids - it's an adult cocktail with vodka. I'll make sure to verify next time. Appreciate the heads up!"

So tired of fighting disingenuous garbage with disingenuous garbage. Acknowledging this pope is anti-LGBTQ only to try to get "woke pope" trending just give minutes later? With the lone goal of "infuriating" right wingers? That's disingenuous garbage.
A screenshot of Mrs. Betty Bowers' timeline, in which they share part of an article outlining the new pope's anti-LGBTQ stance and then, five minutes later, follows up with a post that reads, "Let's get #WokePope trending. It will infuriate all the right people."

There's nothing quite like walking in the woods on one of those days where it's so calm and quiet that you can hear the snow falling.
A dog standing on the bank of a small creek in winter, with puffy white snow built up on the banks. A river in the woods in winter, with snow on the ground and a pedestrian bridge spanning the river. An Australian shepherd mix sitting in the snow in front of a river. A large tree has fallen over the river, and all the branches are covered in snow. A narrow trail in the woods framed by tall snow banks on either side. A dog sits at the far end of the trail.

Only Wings-related because of what I used them for, but I'm geeked about my new puck cases

My lone contribution to The Vibes today is this goofy, dirty, very tired, and now very happy dog
