Hallowe'en! One of the kids is a goose that's become a meme and then a different meme, and the other gets to spend all day explaining what a kinkajou is!
A white cardboard sign with the silhouette of a goose, behind the red circle with crossbar, implying that this town has some sort of goose problem.

What is it like inside your head?
It's Conan O'Brien, from his appearance on Hot Ones. He's fine. He's perfectly fucking fine.

It's Grimey, as he liked to be called! He's saying, "Well, I don't need safety gloves because I'm Homer Simp..."

Chat, it's cool when the device box is only attached to the siding with sheet metal screws and caulk, right?

I'm afraid to look and see that the electrical ground was through the aluminum siding.
My gloves hand holding a piece of aluminum siding that surrounded an outdoor electrical device box. The box is not secured to the house other than by the aluminum siding.

Ah.

I don't know, seeing this kinda made my day.
An image of a short Tweet chain. (the post) Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex 8h Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal and communal style of life. #LaudatoSi #Season Of Creation (the reply) Austin @AustyDR I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says (tweet continues to explain the bible to the Pope)

I can't believe Laura Loomer is only 32.
A photo of Loomer's surgically distorted face. No, this one is the green-haired troll doll. Sorry.

All right, if this doesn't cheer me up, nothing will.
Coffee, bacon, eggs, and toast.

A Google Lens search says they're Core Kitchen knives. It's most likely a ceramic coating on the steel blade cheeks to make it non-stick. In the image below, you can see that the sharpened blade edge is bare steel. I don't have these exact knives, but similar ones in my kitchen.

He sees you
Roberto, a blue robot with red arms and a lightbulb in his head, that Dora finds hidden in the bushes, batteries removed for SOME REASON, looks back over his shoulder at YOU.

The album cover for CAKE's "Fashion Nugget"; there's a red crown depicted over a yellow background with a light sunburst of concentric circles. The band name and album title appear above and below.

I have questions about the "Canadian" orange juice.
Orange Juice in the dairy case at my local grocery store; there is a maple leaf on the shelf beside the price, which they tell me indicates a product is "Made in Canada."

🎵 Take a ride in my Coupe,
I'm gonna make soup! 🎶
Soup ingredients ready for baking on a sheet pan: Chopped tomatoes, red bell pepper, Vidalia Onion, feta cheese, fresh basil, and a bulb of garlic, all drizzled with olive oil and salt and pepper. They'll be roasted at 400F for 45 minutes and then blended with 4 cups of chicken stock.

One of the mob's goons from the Simpsons. He's saying, "I'm seeing double here! Twenty-four Bambis!" It's moderately funny.

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?
From Batman Vol. 1 #425, some criminal wonders what that noise is ('HUH?' it says in the word bubble above his head) only to find Batman has raised a "DIE HARD" truck battery above his head to throw at him. I think that guy died of his injuries in the junkyard, I don't know. It looks bad.

Praying Mantis! At Canadian Tire!
Photo I took today of a live praying mantis on a sign near the door at Canadian Tire. It's a green bug on white cardstock. Neat.

Same-same.
Clouds over the National Art Gallery (Ottawa, ON) as seen from the Gatineau side of the Ottawa River. Kinda looks like the Sydney Opera House. A photo of the Sydney Opera House, from their website. You can see it. I'm sure.

Oh, I'm blocked. Whatever.

The point is these "450sqft luxury 1bdrm" 'homes' are renting for $1900/mth, and Craig Henry *is* on the edge of the city -- if you don't believe me, take the bus downtown.

I'm sorry those architects got their feelings hurt.
Quoted a post that says "What was once a #singlehouse is now 6 new homes in Craig Henry. #gentleinfill can add homes within existing #neighbourhoods without pushing people to the edges of the city. More homes in the same meighbourhood. That's the future."

Also:

"These Luxury 450 sq/ft two story one bedroom units..."

$1895/month?? Are you fucking kidding me? No wonder we're in a worse housing crisis than post-WW2.

For reference, a 53' dry van (common tractor-trailer size) is 424sqft.
A listing from rew.ca for F-25 Fair Oaks for $1895/mo.
