The iPhone 8 experience
Apple Music year-end wrapped thing, but it opened in my Firefox browser for some reason and is therefore unreadable

One of the deadliest plants on earth. It even tries to warn you itself with its terrible taste.
Dr. Hibbert from the Simpsons, standing in the Simpson's kitchen holding up a piece of broccoli with a pair of pair of forceps, as he tells Marge (out of frame) how deadly broccoli is.

Went outside today (its still there!)
A selfie of Jacobston and Tucker, in the forest. Jacobston is wearing a black Skye Wallace toque he got at a concert, round sunglasses that somehow are still in one piece despite the mistreatment he has put them through, and a blue coat with various Park patches on it. Tucker is wearing his fur, as he always does. He is a brown, black, and white Beagle/Hound mix, he has a purple collar on, and he is very intently watching a squirrel somewhere behind the camera.

A screenshot of Dan Harmon from the limited series “Laser Fart” showing a man in a blue and red super hero bodysuit farting a laser. I don’t know how else to describe it. The laser originates from his butt, but it appears to be able to be aimed individually from where his butt is pointing as he is firing it upwards and to the right of the picture.

Situation resolved
A selfie of Jacobston sitting on a couch with two dogs. In his lap is tucker, a black/white/brown beagle/hound mix. Tucker is looking wistfully off in the distance. Beside us with her head resting on my lap is Turniphead, a brown beagle with a splash of white on her nose. She is also looking into the distance, but with much sleep in her eyes. Beside her is a stuffed donkey toy.

Frozen moustache weather…
A selfie of Jacobston standing outside in winter. Small ice crystals can be seen in his moustache. He doesn’t know what to do with his face but he thinks its ok because he is wearing sunglasses. He is wearing a black Skye Wallace toque and a blue winter coat with colourful patches from various national/provincial/state parks. Behind him is snow, trees, an old bird feeder, and snow.

@skyewallacemusic.bsky.social is on BlueSky now, and it seems like as good an opportunity as any to share this rare photo of her levitating through the shear power of rock and roll (taken in Hamilton last Halloween by @topiary.bsky.social)
A photo of a Skye Wallace concert at Mills Hardware in Hamilton. There are six people performing on stage. The lead singer/guitarist (Skye Wallace) is mid-way through a rather badass jump so that it looks as though she is levitating in the photo.

Bike lanes aside, will this provincial government ever *not* take the opportunity to overstep its powers, and overturn decisions made democratically by the municipalities that are affected?
A mockup of a "Pros/Cons" list regarding removing bike lanes, with Ontario PC Party letterhead. Under the "Pros" column: "Score cheap political points in a culture war". Under the "Cons" column: "Increased Fatalities; Increased injuries, Fewer people biking; More pollution; Economic hit on retailers; More traffic congestion; Unhealthier population; Fewer kids biking/rolling to school; Increased infrastructure costs; More dangerous sidewalks." The image is watermarked at the bottom left with "The Biking Lawyer LLP", an Ontario-based legal rights advocate for cyclists.

Studying computers in college like
Two astronauts in space looking at the earth. The one on the right is pointing a gun at the one on the left. Left astronaut says “Wait, it’s all diodes?” Right astronaut replies “always has been.”

The northern lights looking absolutely beautiful tonight!
A screenshot from the Simpsons “Steamed Hams” episode in which Skinner opens his kitchen door to reveal his oven is on fire. You see Skinner’s hand on the door to imply it is from his POV. The oven is in the centre of the frame, smoke bellowing out the sides of the door. A window is to the right of the oven, through which a Krusty Burger can be seen in the distance.

My coworker and I have been laughing recently about Hans Moleman's AMC Gremlin
Still screenshot from the Simpsons episode "Terror at 5½ Feet" showing Hans Moleman driving an AMC Gremlin alongside the Springfield Elementary School bus. Otto (the bus driver) is looking out his window at the Gremlin. Hans is just trying to get through the day. Bless.

So true 😇
Inspirational poster featuring a man with grey hair and brown coat sitting on a bench in the desert facing away from the camera. The poster has the caption “wealthy is the father who fears for his wine, for he is also familiar with his breasts.”

They don’t like when I interrupt their special moments
A black and white beagle mix, and a brown tabby cat curled up together on a human-sized bed, together making the shape of a heart.
