A lazy guy with a big, cube-shaped head.

Old enough to remember when there were two Berlins.

Frequently a big ol' dork.

It looks like he's doing OK.

Good for him.

Zaidi, who served six months in prison for assaulting a visiting head of state, left for Lebanon after his release but returned to run for an Iraqi parliament seat in 2018 seeking to fight corruption, although his election bid failed. "You feel bitterness as you see people's pain 24 hours a day," he said. He added that he continued to campaign against graft and he has never regretted hurling his shoes. "This scene stands as proof that one day a simple person was capable of saying no to that arrogant person with all his power, tyranny, arms, media, money and authority, and to say that you (Bush) were wrong."

It is the neighbor's cat not mine, but he's squatting on my porch so it still counts
A cat on a mat on a porch. The cat is calico; mostly black with an orange mask and white chest. He is sitting on a tan fiber doormat with white daisies on it in a sphinx pose, and looking off into the distance. The doormat is on a cement porch. The walls and ceiling are blue and a faded red door is right behind the mat. A blue door is to the right.

I spent quite a while writing frankly poetic and evocative alt text descriptions on several pictures, but when I posted them they all just disappeared.

Most disappointing.

I still got to spend a lovely afternoon on the Willamette River today though—possibly the last warm sunny day of the year.
Five geese looking to the left at something. They have white and grey bodies, black necks and heads, and a big white splotch around their faces. They are standing in vegetation along the bank of a river. Past them on the bank are grasses and shrubs in greens and browns. Three geese. The one on the right is facing left, the one on the middle is facing the camera, and the one on the left is pointed to the right, but bending its head around backwards to groom its feathers. Their reflections are visible in the river and the green vegetation behind them is just starting to turn yellow, orange, and brown.

It's good to be back home again.

I haven't been to the HPL Film Fest in person since 2019* and I didn't realize how much I missed it.

*You can probably guess what the interruption was in the fall of that year.
A view of Portland, Oregon's Hollywood Theater peeking out from behind a beige-colored contemporary building. It is a gorgeous 1926 movie house with an ornate baroque facade and a large red vertical sign with "Hollywood" in illuminated white letters. The marquee says "HP Lovecraft Film Fest & Cthulhucon." Several people with film festival lanyards mill about.

Everything is very bad, but I did meet a delightful little dog named Miss Pickles yesterday, and that's not nothing.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
A medieval illustration of a bonnacon and two men with spears. It looks like a skinny bull with clawed bird feet. It is holding its long tail out of the way as it sprays a plume of shit at them. One of the men is holding his head. The other one has his hands over his nose. The bonnacon has a goofy expression and looks like it it is waggling its eyebrows.

Her brother doesn't seem to be surprised by this.
Mullins said he knew there was some trouble in Pauline's marriage, but she wasn't one to talk about her problems. For that reason, Mullins said he was "not totally shocked."

Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee Jun 17, 2022 Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses." Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee Jun 17, 2022 Jewish adult converts asking me if I'm going to fast on the anniversary whatever obscure 3000-year-old battle happened today like I know or care. Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee Whoa this blew up. I don't have a spotify or a substack so I'll just tell you to adopt black cats. They're by far the least adopted cats because people are profoundly stupid, but you can adopt these cuddly voidbabies and have them all to yourself. 2:31 AM Jun 19, 2022 Twitter for iPhone

It almost works as a poem.
How to Touch A Woman's Boobs - anonymous So the line I came up with is "I don't mean to be rude and I certainly don't want to be creepy, but (I gesture by bringing my hands up and cupping them around the breast area) are amazing." Then after she blushes and says thanks follow up with "I don't mean to be out of line, but would it be ok if I could have a feel?"

Next time. I'm still pretty happy with them.

Thanks for the recipe!

This seems like subpar graphic design. Besides visually implying that Our President released COVID himself, it's really easy to do this.

There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die. Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80's

This absolutely foreign cat just walked up to me on the sidewalk one day and demanded head scritches and belly rubs. It was simply incredible. 10/10.

A Checker in the wild. Somebody obviously loves this car very much.
A Checker automobile painted in the traditional yellow cab fashion with a line of black and white checkered trim. The space on the rear side door where a taxi company's logo would be has a pair of crossed checkered flags and "Checker Special" underneath. Two tiny fuzzy taxis are in the rear window well. The license plate is "TAXI".

I really liked the section about Mr. I, myself.

This really is a great piece.
Nonetheless, he will never go MAGA and would spend his days in exile even if he got cut off from the family purse. It would not be easy for him to abandon his life of gentle and obscure luxury, but he would: because although he is an indifferent academic, without talent, he is a true devotee of beauty. He finds in MAGA not just gaucherie and unloveliness, but also a hatred of things that are beautiful and strange, as all the things he loves are.

If you see this post a #ttrpg cover you love.

Damn, Robh Ruppel kicks ass.
A large book with an ornate reg border around the cover. The cover text reads Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft Campaign Expansion Masque of the Red Death And Other Tales - Terror in the 1890s. The picture is of a man leaning out of a train car, aiming a pistol at a figure standing atop the engine (number 13 of course). The figure has a skull for a head and wears a red cloak, flapping in the wind. It holds a mask of a human face in one hand and looks either startled or poised to leap at the man with the pistol. It's very dramatic.
