"Plant-based tray" … do you mean … paper? 😂
Section of a food container that has a green recycling symbol, and says “PLANT-BASED TRAY, RECYCLEABLE* … *WHEN CLEAN AND DRY” The entire container is revealed to be 5 Johnsonville brats shrink-wrapped on a paper board tray

Watching Breaking Glass (1980), and her stage costumes are wild. Two years before Tron, and eight years before Beetlejuice. I wonder if the later costume designers were inspired by these?
Singing a song about robots, the character wears a costume printed with retro-reflective circuit board designs The character appears inside a cone of laser light, very much like the light cone that Tron travels in The character has very shaggy hair, dark make up in her eye sockets, and a dress with large black and white vertical stripes A wider view of the costume with the dress with vertical black and white stripes

A slice of Lola (the cat)'s favourite banana bread, left over from her last day. A tiny, tasty connection to my sweet girl. I miss her so much.

To Lola, the little cat with the big personality, the best cat who ever was.

We always thought she would live forever, out of spite, but I guess there's only so much that spite can do against cancer. She was a true friend, an adventurous spirit, and the best companion. Sleep well, my friend. 😭

My iPhone reminded me of her birthday today 😅

Happy 30th anniversary, Xena: Warrior Princess!
Xena premiered on September 4, 1995, and it kinda changed my life. I'm so glad this show exists. :D
Lucy Lawless, as Xena, stands in leather and bronze armor, holding her signature chakram “round killing thing” weapon, while a village burns behind her. Xena, in leather and bronze armor, stands with her sidekick Gabrielle Xena, in a unique midriff-baring samurai-inspired outfit from the last episode of the series, gives a broad shrug On the cover of TV Guide magazine, Lucy Lawless as Xena and Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine (from Star Trek: Voyager) pose in their respective signature costumes.

Some educational reading
The cover of the book “The Art of Film Projection: A Beginner’s Guide“ by George Eastman Museum. The cover is red, and depicts rollers and take-up mechanisms in a film projector in black, with the path of the film printed in gold

Guess if you can tell when fireworks started going off and our rooftop weather station PM2.5 count skyrocketed 😅

We just finished the one season of #Kaos on #Netflix — How was this not marketed at all to me, a person with a deep interest in Greek mythology?? This is very much my shit! Anyway, it was a cracking season of TV. Shame it got cancelled; I wish there were more now.

Me: why isn't the AC running?
Thermostat: I turned myself off
Me: turns the thermostat to 74
Thermostat: wouldn't you rather set it to 77? This is a peak energy time!
Me: no, goddamnit, my server is going to overheat. Like, literally

LET HIM DANCE

He was eventually located in the Club World cabin bathroom, where, according to one colleague quoted by the Sun, he had turned the space into a "one-man disco."”

My partner is 💯 correct
Post from @jillproo on threads: “People often say LA is a place when you can surf at the beach in the morning and ski in the afternoon but how often do they say you can march in Pride in the morning and get tear gassed at a protest in the afternoon?”

Today, I made a special mount for a flagpole to fit the corner of our observatory (deck), and our skeleton Frank and his crow friend Bert helped too. I'm very proud to fly this progress pride flag, and make my maga neighbor uncomfortable with their bigotry, all day, every day. Happy Pride, friendos.

One of LA's small pleasures is eating at a weird little independent hamburger place that's been here for 60 years

Somehow, unbidden, we have received two mailed, printed catalogs for physical media in the same day, and sent to my partner, who is not the physical media weirdo in this house. Bizarre, but also I love it.
Two printed catalogs on a white countertop, one for the mail order store “Movies Unlimited” and the other for “critic’s choice video”, both advertising DVDs and Blu-rays, and hyping their summer sales.
