Black-and-white photo of a man with a topkot wearing a kimono. He's behind the wheel of a white convertible car, driving away from another car and a dirt lot. There is a sword on the dashboard.

Toshiro Mifune, in costume, leaving the set of "Yojimbo" in his MG convertible. He's got a katana on his dashboard, because he is the coolest motherfucker alive.

Drinks await in a charming pub
A drink of Irish whisky awaits in the Olde Starr Inn, the 'oldest' pub in York (1663)
we used to have a summer apartment across the road from that pub. It was up an absurd flight of stairs. Lovely city, though you weren't going to get a Sunday lie-in with the Minster bells being less than 100 metres away ...

Bar charts showing the causes of death vs reported deaths by cause in 3 media outlets.
Actual causes of deaths are massively underreported and causes such as terrorism and homicide are over reported by more than 600%

Whenever I see some new life extension hype, I go and see how people are actually dying and what can be done to prevent it and it comes down to wearing seat belts, not climbing ladders, not smoking, controlling blood pressure and similar. If you are doing those boring things you are already in the top percentiles of life extension activities.
@ang same. I mean, bacon and sugar aside, I seem to be doing all the not dying correctly.

I am having the most trouble with the part of me that wants to do the household jobs that require climbing ladders. My rational part is fighting this, but not winning yet.

#MV26
This one is better than the other one but by the time I left the dock it was dark and I was wicked high.
The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing that is inconvenient about the place that I live on MV is that the owner doesn’t allow smoking of any kind anywhere on her property. She’s not against it, just that renting out a room to strangers, as she has done since the 90s, requires the establishment of firm ground rules. All it means for me is that if I want to smoke a joint I have to go for a walk. This spot is about half a mile from the house so, ya know, there are worse things.
The barrier beach, in the distance center right, is a mile and a half and is among my favorite places on planet earth.
Like I said, worse things.

“ In the game, which has the conventions of a 16-bit Japanese role-playing game and is also available online, a pixelated Trump is depicted as initiating the war with Iran, collecting barrels of oil and fighting those who oppose his military campaign. Players can help the president find a Big Mac or order a Diet Coke. Other administration officials and allies make appearances; on one side quest, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sends the player to find a vial of measles. The only way to lose is to try to hold first lady Melania Trump’s hand.”

Took my beloved and the terrier out kayaking (his first time, to see if he likes it so we can get our own kayak and save on rental fees) for Mother’s Day.
We all had a great time, so, yes.

I spent several summers kayaking around Lake Union in my late twenties, it's one of my favorite memories. I loved paddling down the rows of houseboats like walking down the streets of a somewhat wet neighborhood. The big apartment building on stilts just to the north of all the houseboats is a wonderful place to paddle under, have a surreptitious toke, and continue the paddle out to the arboretum.
The downside is when you take a break for winter, then come back the following spring/summer, you think you still have the arm strength to do long paddles, but your body begs to differ.

Also, did the kayaks have a skeg or a rudder?
@fnerg yes, we love ogling houseboats and imagining a lake life we could never afford.
And rudder, always rudder. It’s so much less stressful.

A woman with grey-brown hair pulled back in a brain and a green plaid flannel shirt stands behind a man who is seated. He is wearing a grey toque and black glasses and has a full white beard. He has one eye open for some reason. The woman has a hand on his shoulder and holds a piece of a cookie in her other hand. The woman is me and the man is the mister.
Not a great photo of either one of us but somehow I love it. This was before we sat down to watch the town talent show.

Y'all are one of my favorite couples.
The muted hand gesture ("La mano a borsa") suggests the suppression of otherwise expressive Italian roots 🍝
It’s a great picture of both of you!
I love the looks on your faces! Disdain? Disapproval? Dysurea? All goes to show that someone is at the same level of photographic skill as me.

Head and upper body of a weird white fish with many pointed teeth and conical eyes
This is a small slender deep sea fish, covered in silvery, reflective guanine. Their forward-facing telescope eyes allow them to see the silhouettes of prey swimming above them in the faint sunlight
They are15 to 20cm long, and have a massively expandable stomach and mouth with long, needle-sharp teeth. They are known to swallow fish that are actually larger than themselves.

cropped phone pic: a tiny translucent plastic chicken, sitting on a window ledge, with daylight passing through it. behind it is a frosted glass window, and below, a dark wood panel
it’s been hectic at work. i hate it. the only good thing about it lately has been finding these tiny (~1”) plastic chickens in random places at the office.
last week, i noticed one on a short fridge next to the office espresso machine. a day or so later, i saw a second on a random shelf on another floor. a day after that, a coworker happened to say “did you see the neon orange chicken in the drinks cooler?”.
he and i found three more the same day, and another coworker i mentioned the chickens to said she’d spotted another in the ladies bathroom on the floor above mine. no-one in office has owned up to it yet.
now there are at least seven of them around the office. i don’t know what person is doing it, but bless them for giving me the tiniest slice of whimsy to get me through the day

That's a wonderful bit of delight
We found a small duck on a Disney Cruise once upon a time (apparently it's a thing)
This has been happening around our office for the last several months. Ducks, dinosaurs, monkeys. No one knows who started it but it’s inspired others to get in on the craze. For my part I found some hummingbirds, crows, and potted cacti in a novelty store and had a very fun couple of weeks sprinkling them around.
Whimsy is turning out to be crucial these days. Waterfowl-related whimsy is bonus.
years ago I gifted a coworker with 25 rubber ducks after he emailed to 'all' - "I'm putting all my ducks in a row"
of course I put them in a row leading to his office
