From Andor--yes, the Star Wars show on Disney Plus, Andor--worth a watch
Nemik says, "The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it, and that is the real trick of the Imperial Thought Machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident." Three stills from Andor Season 1.

Awesome lenticular cloud over Palm Springs this morning!
Over a horizon studded with palm trees and mountains in the far background, a cloud with the swirled texture of a croissant hovers in the sky. Over a horizon studded with palm trees, a cloud with the swirled texture of a croissant hovers in the sky.

Indeed. 5 people around me on my flight yesterday were reading physical books (and I love my print @wired.com mag)!
A folded magazine page with a headline: Wet hot analog summer. In the background are pool umbrellas, chairs, and towels on a sunny day.

From Tucker (van.gore on redbubble):

Text says "if it can get worse, it can get better." Two images, one of a blooming spring meadow, and one of a burning forest, combine in a checkerboard pattern to show two pictures in one frame.

My ride. All worries stay at the dock! 🩵
8 rowers and a coxswain propel a long, thin boat through glassy water. Behind them is an arched bridge. The oars on the boat show the rowers are (mostly) moving in unison.

Nabbed some tanghulu tonight--a special treat I've been excited to try! Only by the grace of GOD did it not rip several of my crowns out. Never again, but glad I did it this one time.
Three strawberries on a skewer. They are surrounded by a hard shell of clear sugar syrup. In the background, the sky, the ocean, and a few hotel rooms are just visible.

Happy #caturday from my supervisor and the personality hire.
A tortoiseshell cat closes her eyes and tucks her paws under her. She's laying on a cat-safe heating pad atop a chair with scratched arms and patches (which she has also scratched) A gangly black cat peeks out of a partially opened window. Her long skinny tail is pointed up, a sign of curiosity. Outside the window is a tree with new leaves and a partially cloudy sky.

Creative Alliance puts on two of my favorite nights in Baltimore: the lantern parade and the marquee ball. This year was no exception. Gorgeous art, great band and DJ, and premium people watching (feat enchanted forest themed costumes). 10/10

The research: "It's common for kittens to appear sad or stressed after adoption...potentially exhibiting behaviors like hiding, sleeping more, or having a decreased appetite..."

The kitten, in her every waking moment:
A small black kitten launches herself into a quart-sized plastic takeout container. A small black kitten tangles herself in a ribbon toy. She's standing on her hind legs and curling her body around in mid air. A kitten somersaults over a soft toy. In a wrestling match between a live, 2.5 kitten and an inanimate bear-like toy, the toy is somehow winning. A pillow near the kitten suggests she might've parkoured off of it to attack the bear. A kitten tumbles ass-over-teakettle over a carpeted floor for no obvious reason.

Not to be a dork, but getting down with your local queerdos is more important than ever. Chag Purim Sameach
People in costume dance in a crowded brewery. A jester, a person in a long Wig and hat, Gritty, a drag queen in purple sequins, and a person dressed as a Persian royal are visible. The jester is throwing it down and looks cool as fuck. 3 drag kings and two drag queens dance in front of a DJ. The main act is wearing a ring master costume included a rhinestoned wig. They are waving a trans pride flag and lipsyncing.

Goodnight from queen nelly. 🌛
A tortoiseshell cat sleeps on a heating pad placed on a chair. She rests her chin on her front elbow and her paw extends towards the camera. She is literally, objectively the most beautiful cat in the universe.

Working on a mini Mari Lwyd for the holidays...why not
A pair of scissors and a roll of clear tape lay next to small paper cutouts of illustrated horse skulls. Festive!

Rainbow space shuttle, you WILL be mine. Eventually.
Screenshot of an online shop listing for an "Over the moon with Pharrell Williams" LEGO set. It includes a shuttle trailing rainbow exhaust/smoke, a Pharrell minifig, and an abacus-like frame filled with minifig heads depicting people of a wide variety of skin colors.

I spent a few years helping visitors from all over the US and the world observe Venus at the Smithsonian.

Clearly there is still work to be done. 🙃
Screenshot of a tweet by meteorologist Mattthew Cappucci commenting on a video. He writes: "With enormous respect to ABC News, this is Venus. Folks at home – you'll see Venus shine brightly (-4.13 magnitude, which is makes it the second-brightest celestial object in the night sky) after sunset over the coming nights." The video beneath shows a blurry video of an orb in the sky, and a news correspondent mystified by what she is seeing. As Matthew writes, she is not looking at a mystery drone or UFO. Just the planet Venus.

Mom made steaks and is now reciting Elf. We brought homemade ice cream. Cheers
I'm holding a pint glass full of water in front of a TV. The glass says "cotton headed ninny muggins!" On the TV, Elf (2003) is playing.
