He'll have to make do with supermarket pierogies, like a plebe.
A box of Mrs. T's Pierogies, the kind you can find in your supermarket's frozen food section.

The Enterprise G on my lock screen. It has the streaky effect of going at warp speed on a blue background.

Howie Kendrick, 2019. (Not really, but it warms my hater-heart to post this graphic).
Graphic representation of Howie Kendrick's home run hitting the foul pole in Minute Maid Park during the 2019 World Series. The words "Hit Foul Poles Not Trash Cans" appear next to the foul pole, referring to the Astros method of conveying stolen signs to the batter by banging a trash can in the dugout.

American Jumbo size eggs have them pretty regularly.

This photo rules:
Black & white photo of Leonard Nimoy, Donald Sutherland, and Jeff Goldblum, behind the scenes during the filming of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). They're all dressed in 1970s men's fashion.

This painting is what I associate with his name. Aside: early on in my life with computers, I made the initial letters of this painting's title into an oft-reused password. Thank goodness for password vaults and random password generators.
Don't read this if you don't want to be spoiled on the October 9, 2025 Artle. A painting by Benjamin West, "Agrapinna Landing at Brundisium with the Ashes of Germanicus." It's a complex scene with many figures wearing ancient Roman dress. The widow Agrapinna is in the center, accompanied by two small children. She holds a metal urn.

It made me think of Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus
Detail of Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. It's just a pair of legs sticking out of the water depicting Icarus falling into the sea from his reckless flight.

50 years, come this November.
Underwater photo of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's a view from the exterior into the interior, with the name of the ship visible just below the window.

My TV screen as I read this:
Photo of my TV screen showing that I was watching a live stream of activity in Katmai National Park. One bear is visible in the middle of the stream where they congregate to catch salmon on the way upstream.

For those who are so fortunate as to never have laid eyes on this monstrosity:
Very weird Lucille Ball bronze statue. The face doesn't look like her at all. It's an unpleasant-looking face on top of a woman's body dressed and posed as Lucy in the Vitameatavegemin bit.

@robertpicardo.bsky.social This bozo followed me as part of some scam using your profile. My first reaction was to be be flattered that my quips about Star Trek were appreciated by you. I reported this account as soon as I clocked it wasn't you. You should make sure he gets kicked off Bluesky.

It's a real place! I want to visit it. Of course, I walked by the Beineke rare books library many times in my years in New Haven and never entered it. It is beautiful from the outside.
The exterior of the Beineke Rare Books and Manuscript Library. It has a grid appearance with thin sheets of white marble where you'd expect there to be windows.

Have you seen the 1st Appellate Division courthouse in Manhattan? If Beaux Arts is your thing, it's the bee's knees.
Ornately decorated Beaux Arts style interior of the 1st Appellate Division courthouse in Manhattan. The most prominent feature is a stained glass domed ceiling that pours light into the room.

Looks like experts don't agree. Also, I TIL the literal meaning of BELLEND. 😳

I already own it, and I signed up for the newsletter yesterday. Please give the book to someone else. Proof of ownership in photo:
Two cats (one dilute tabby, one all black) on a beige couch with a copy of "Oathbreakers." The tabby is sniffing the book while the black cat is looking at the camera.

My kid looks great in their @reforest-kelley.bsky.social shirt.
A white person in a "James no LGB without the T Kirk" shirt. The words are superimposed on an illustration of William Shatner as James T. Kirk, wearing a gold command shirt with a slash across it (as seen in Amok Time) and a wound under each side of his chest as you'd see in non-binary people or trans men.

Found it:

What you can look forward to after metamorphosis:

You know the consequences for kicking your cat:
Tweet from Patricia Lockwood dated March 19, 2019 (capitalization and punctuation as in the original because that's part of what makes it so charming and funny): "me, lightly touching miette with the side of my foot: miette move out of the way please so I don't trip on you miette, her eyes enormous: you KICK miette? you kick her body like the football? oh! oh! jail for mother! jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!"
