it closes with “Teflon dies”, and I felt myself moving closer to the coffin

www.semafor.com/article/11/1...
A New York Times opinion writer, meanwhile, lamented having to use American noodles, which he noted have "less flavor and a mushier texture" than Italian brands that use bronze dies instead of Teflon ones.

I haven’t stitched a Pikachu (YET), but I’ve puzzled several 😉
a completed Ravensburger Pikachu puzzle shaped like the pokémon Pikachu mid-jump, it’s resting on an open puzzle board/zip-up & carry case. the 727 pieces are mostly yellow, depicting various Pikachus. the puzzle box, cat paws and tail peeking from the bottom left. close up of several fun shaped pieces from the Ravensburger Pikachu puzzle: they’re themselves shaped like faces of the pokémon Pikachu.

@mattbelloni.bsky.social A12 🥲 even the auto transcript gave up on it
[screenshot from the Podcast app showing a section of the auto transcript from the latest episode of The Town “The 2025 Emmy Nomination Awards: Winners, Snubs, and Thirstiest Campaigns”] highlighted is the mention of the show “Etoile”, which the auto transcript bypassed twice, switching it to “A12”. [«… zero is really pretty bad. My biggest loser is Amazon. I mean, what is going on there? Prime Video, they only had 12 nominations total, and none in the major categories. Like it is embarrassing considering the amount of content they put out and considering what a player Amazon has been in the past at the Emmys. I mean, this is embarrassing You didn't think that one nomination for a 12 was enough to hold them up. A 12, at least you can pronounce it the French Ballerina show that was canceled during their campaign. Like it says a lot about what you think about your show and you cancel it during the Emmy campaign. ...»]

Basil: sometimes pre-poop, and often post-poop chats. but *always* a trip to where I am, to let me know there’s litter box business to take care of.

there’s an Italian counterpart to the Pendragon insanity? 😂

in 2009 the far-right racist Lega Nord (Northern League) party in Italy backed an overblown Hollywood-wannabe vanity project about a rebel (Barbarossa, Redbeard) to work as Braveheart for the locals. massive levels of corruption in it too:

omg I somehow missed this 😭💔 poor Bill. personally held views, quite frankly, but devastating hearing how hard it hit for him 😞
Tue 11 Oct 2022 05.10 BST William Shatner expected he would achieve the "ultimate catharsis" after his historic flight into space. Instead, the voyage left him filled with grief, an "overwhelming sadness" and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of Earth, the Star Trek actor has said. "My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral," an excerpt from his book Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder, published by Variety, reads. "I love the mystery of the universe. I love all the questions that have come to us over thousands of years of exploration and hypotheses ... but when I looked in the opposite direction, into space, there was no mystery, no majestic awe to behold ... all I saw was death," Shatner wrote. [from The Guardian article “‘It felt like a funeral’: William Shatner reflects on voyage to space” by Samantha Lock 2022/10/11]

old lady with grey hair wearing a blue skirt and a lavender coat jacket, hanging onto the metal bars of an entrance door gate. she’s climbed up to the top of the gate and won’t let go. regardless of her attitude and determination, her elderly condition + the laws of physics dictate that the door won’t budge. she’s locked outside.

your reminder that any time you say emil *bove* you’re allowed to conjure images of CASTRATED bulls used as DRAUGHT ANIMALS (oxen)

🇮🇹 “bove”, archaic form of “bue” = OX; BLOCKHEAD
screenshot of the Apple mobile Dictionary function (must have Italian downloaded), showing how searching for “bove” results in a redirection to the term “bue” screenshot of the Apple mobile Dictionary function (must have Italian downloaded), showing results for “bue”: bue pl. buoi | 'bue, 'bwai | masculine noun 1. ox; • carne di bue = beef • quarto di bue = quarter of beef • bue da lavoro = draft ox • occhio di bue = (Architecture) bull's eye; (Photography) snoot • all'occhio di bue = (Cooking) [uovo] sunny side up 2. (informal figurative) blockhead IDIOMS: - mangiare come un bue = to eat like a horse - mettere il carro davanti ai buoi = (proverb) to put the cart before the horse - chiudere la stalla quando i buoi sono scappati = to close the stable door when the horse has bolted

If you see this, post a gif from one of your comfort shows
Dame Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, resting in bed, wearing a white and pink robe and pink PJs, her hand raised as to stop whatever fool is addressing her with some inanity, wasting everybody’s time. a stern, admonishing look on her face, as to advise she’s all business.
