Screenshot of that scene from Pacific Rim where the Burn Gorman guy (I literally do not remember anyone's name in that movie except the incredibly goofy ones) is pointing at the huge chalkboard full of calculations

The good news is that Sinners is a really great movie, I laughed I cried I really loved it.
The bad news is that while I was out watching it one of the elderly mice passed away so my poor kids were grieving without me for a couple of hours.
Pour one out for Chuu-Chuu, sweet and curious til the end.

Happy End of Passover and also Happy Easter I guess, we ate a bunch of pasta and are watching Return of the King

We had a really nice small Seder last night despite my being in pretty terrible mental health. Please enjoy The Destroyer (very much The Child Who Does Not Know How to Ask) enthusiastically popping up to help with the Four Questions because Humans Making Songs is her favorite activity.
A black and tan mutt with a white belly stands on her hind legs at the seder table, bracing her front legs on the photographer's lap and staring intently at the Haggadah open on the table in front of her.

The Bernie Sanders "I am once again asking" meme, the text on this one is "I am once again asking for us to begin the Butlerian Jihad"

A white cat (she's got gray/black bits but they aren't visible in this picture) lies on the photographer's torso, stretched out to be maximally inconvenient and precarious.

Screenshot of an incredibly pathetic Twitter exchange Spidey_ElonFan: Do u still play chess?. @elonmusk Elon Musk: I did as a child, but found it to be too simple to be useful in real life: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, no technology tree, no random map or spawn position, only 2 players, both sides exact same pieces, etc.

"They're the same picture" meme from The Office in which one picture is Leslie Knope in Parks and Rec doing a filibuster on roller skates in a goofy 90s outfit, and the other picture is Cory Booker on the Senate floor right now

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility I just came off a really brutal stretch of work shifts and I look only slightly less shitty than I feel
A selfie of a middle aged weird little guy. They are white with short black/grey hair and brown eyes. They're wearing navy scrubs with a progress Pride flag badge reel visible, and a black denim battle vest covered in enamel pins and buttons. The gray hood of the vest is up on their head. They're also wearing a bright blue KN95 and purple/blue/pink glasses.

The world is horrible and my life is horrible but sometimes there are tiny good things like Jet and The Destroyer becoming friends after 4 1/2 years of the friendship being entirely one sided.
A mostly white calico cat and a black/brown/white dog lie on the floor within less than a meter of one another, at a ninety degree angle to each other. Each of them has her right front paw outstretched for some reason and the paws are inches apart. The dog has a battered chew toy next to her left front paw. Both of them are SO CHILL.

Yeah see flatly denying reality doesn't work when the thread is still there.
The chiller.bsky.social: That absolutely doesn't mean that none of them were getting domestically abused by Nazi men. It's kind of mind-blowing that you don't get that. Patriarchal women by definition hang with patriarchal men. And we know what patriarchal men do, very commonly, to women. Olivesalad.bsky.social: The poor Nazi men were raised to be that way by their racist violent mothers

Well loved for the duration of their stay with us.
Tiny field mouse crouching in a blue plastic humane trap, with a seed and a dried mealworm sharing trap space with them because we dumped a bunch of our pet mice's snacks in there

Finally caught one of the friends who's been around our house of late, they are extremely small and cute. 16yo filled the trap with treats and snacks and took the friend to a park for a pleasant release.

Lol, lmao even
A really aggressive flier headed "Know the Facts: Your Signature Matters" implying all kinds of dire consequences (without actually threatening action on the part of the hospital) if the reader were to sign a union card. The hospital logo and QR code leading to an "information" page have been redacted because discretion is the better part of valor.

She always looks like she's having an existential crisis, meanwhile she's purring loud enough to be heard from rooms away
A white cat with grey/black markings on her head and belly (and other spots not visible in the image) lies on her back and curls around the hand of the photographer, displaying her belly, toe beans, and thousand yard stare.

Why whatever do you mean
A white cat with a funny black patch that looks like a toupee with an incredibly exaggerated central part, lying on the purple shirt-clad abdomen and boob of the photographer.
