We’re owl very impressed. I had to paws for a moment.

“I should get a pea green boat.”

@bezt *snort*

Now it needs Spock

Seriously, that pea green boat caper makes every kind of sense to me. They already enjoy the same foods, which is more in common than a lot of couples have.

Once I saw my cat sitting on the deck railing and looking up to the trees with that "I see dinner" look. I checked that, and there was a bigass owl in a branch. looking at her in much the same way. I cancelled deck time.

@thelonius Star-crossed lovers!

Maybe this will be funny to you, maybe horrific, but regardless, here you go: The first thought my brain spit out on seeing this image was "that needs more ADA grab bars."

You're welcome?

First summer of national guard training had us in WII era barracks that had exactly this.

Well, not EXACTLY this but...ya know.

@1f2frfbf sfunny, my first thought was "ugh, AI again."

@1f2frfbf And rightly so. Awful experiences like these should be available to everyone.

worst game of musical chairs ever

Morning Standup

I have two of these in my enormous bathroom.

There's a Gunther Grass novel where he forwards some anthropological theory that a specific tribe would eat in solitary but shit communally.

@homerj my barracks for boot camp in the Navy had a long row of toilet stalls and none had stall doors. This meant a long awkward walk in front of a dozen or more other seated recruits doing their business to get to do your own.

Where is my personal space boundary? I don't have one. It was replaced with military-grade trauma.

Do it like the romans did.

New DCU writer room under Ellison?

If you've never been here it's one of the most solemn places in the U.S. The place has an enormous weight to it that sinks into you even if you don't have someone there. And if you do. . . my grandfather was a Marine in the Pacific in WWII and all that entails, and he's buried in Arlington. Absolutely enraging . . . but it made me weep to see the MAGAs jumping in so quickly to "defend" it.

It's all so incredibly shameful it's unexpressable. And that's on top of the shame of just in the last few days watching this same guy be so proud he bombed little girls.

This like is for the tomb.

Imagine mugging for a photo shoot and cackling, here of all places, on fucking Veteran's Day. Every single person in this administration is an absolute disgrace. No morals. No class. No humanity.

TILTING AT WINDMILLS, SADLY

@williwaw @0y3ahSansAcut3 @Xedrik
i’d like to think that sentinel got a solid “Attaboy” from his CO, but these days the best we can hope for is that Kegbreath doesn’t reassign him to penguin watch in the Aleutians.

My grandparents are buried there. We travelled up there for my grandmother's burial. An Army chaplain provided a simple and dignified gravesite service. He talked with Mom for a whole first, wanting to learn about who he was laying to rest that day. I was only about 14, but I felt the solemnity of the moment and what an honor it was to have family there. So I am not amused, today.

Tacky-ass photo op.
And I'm about as irreverent as they come but I know there's a time to STFU.

That soldier's future is set.

I hope this soldier isn't vindictively court-martialed for this or drummed out of the service. The job there is one of the highest honors, and the site is one of the most solemn us govt sites I've ever visited.

@0y3ahSansAcut3 ayyyyyy.....

that's a stronk void <3

love the shirt!

They're after the place. They don't know why. They just remember that they want to be in here.

Title

Turkeys are a lot like vampires. Can't come in without being invited, throwing grain on the ground will stop tgem from chasing you, drinking blood, etc

He wants to gobble.

My folks have a tom turkey who appears at their sliding door every morning to peck aggressively at his reflection. They had to put up a makeshift fence around the patio steps to keep him from busting the glass.

@artwells @jessamyn Here's my youth. Well, part of it.

@1f2frfbf I kinda remember seeing a foam one once, though probably not as a child

I remember similar promotional foam planes (not coke-branded) that had a lead clip you could bend around the nose to weight it properly.

It's Basil Salty!

@tomb don't mention the war!

A fully-accurate representation of the Great Googly-Moogly.

i like it when you can follow individual things on their little journeys

Burning whale bile!

Sargent knew about white.

If you ever get to western MA, do not sleep on going to the Clark Museum. It is amazing.

Sargent might be a weird choice to be my favorite painter, but I can't really escape it. If I'm in a gallery with anything by him, I can guarantee it will haunt me - I mean really haunt me while I am there.

I've never seen paintings created with so little gap between intention and execution. He saw something in the subjects he painted that no one else could see, and he communicated it in a way that we can't ever not see intarkingo the future, likely for centuries.

My grandfather's Legion of Merit is on the top of the missing items list in this house. This is the highest decoration that is given to non-combatant soldiers; my grandfather was awarded it for his work training crews to do photographic analysis and other intelligence work pertaining to invading islands in the Pacific. Mom put it, well, somewhere.

i have two or three of those

I have four or five. I did not get the Good Behavior ribbon.

"....bone spurs, bone spurs, there must be some medal they can give me."

thank you, i genuinely needed to see this today at this moment in time

Friday November 31st, 5pm, got it.

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

@LocalStain +1!

The Apple style Garamond is throwing me. Keep expecting the next line to be “think different”

@travis +++

November has only 30 days and I’m well past 40 but I am willing to start Friday at 5:30.

so, you're saying some people could, sorta, like, maybe, you know, perhaps, yes you techbros, might have virtual fruit fly brains?
well, we need to celebrate that. sorta

Lab-grown fruit fly brains ftw.

Looks great, man!

I’ve carved a couple of spoons, but it’s been years and I’d like to get back into it

@wjcstp I hope to use proper tools to carve a spoon, but before I bought them, I thought I'd try some point-n-click Dremel action.

Nicely done.

Amazing that someone would even *think* of hiding a spoon inside that piece of wood

Is there a chili cook-off imminent...?

Mind the insanity peppers

Separate from the very cool carving work, these photos look amazingly painterly.

The lower image looks like a watercolor.

To live in hearts that love is not to die.

siempre tacos busco

I'm on the Taco Bus. I'm in the Torta Cab. I'm in the combination Taco Bus and Torta Cab.

i want to be...a taco bus!

@davidl x2

@gwint and @minimumsafedistance are fired for ear-worming me with two songs simultaneously.

Taco de bus tripa

RIP

RIP. This film features a fantastic sequence in opening credits on the 110 from downtown LA through the elysian tunnels.

YES!

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who's ever heard of this book.

An absolute all timer for children and adults.

Total flashback seeing that cover

Loved his stuff in the Village Voice a million years ago.

the flying elephant bird looks so familiar, yet I've never seen this book

@cristin It's one of his signature doodles, you might have seen it in his "Washingtoons" strip from the 80s-90s.

I can't believe I've never seen this in my life. And now I'm in love.

I don't leak. You leak

One of my childhood favorites. I loved this deep dive into some of the special effects. https://youtu.be/tyixMpuG...

COMPLIENCE

@ckoerner that was an amazing watch!

@ckoerner echoing @rk2z to say that was a great video! i love how much time he dedicated to the practical aspects of it, and i learned a ton. (like, wow, the schufftan shot!)

and funny, when i watched the movie a few weeks ago, i ended up googling omnibus computer graphics (or however they were listed in the credits) which i had never heard of despite seeing the movie umpteen times as a kid. it's genuinely wild how advanced it feels against even "the last starfighter" a couple of years before it.
