The 11yo wanted to go downtown to explore transit in the city. We took the bus, the subway, and the light rail for no good reason and then came home. Excellent day out.

Hooray for public transit! How lucky to have so many options available to you.
Great pic, great color coordination.
@BennyTheIcepick we just moved here last fall and I’m loving it. Cycling is pretty good everywhere I’ve been, too.

Gonna use this in all my research papers from now on: what a time saving device from looking up for the 1000th time the difference between i.e. and e.g.! Fantastic!
But more importantly *muahahahahaha* this will drive all those peer reviewing grammar pedants absolutely batshit. A hahahahaha! Imagine their comments! HAHAHA

A social media post from user @givemebudlight and a truncated handle reading Deedee megado…
The post from the morning of February 26, 2026, the day the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran, reads:
“If they nuke us can they make sure to do it in the morning? I don’t wanna work all fucking day just to come home and get nuked.”

My kiddo’s mom and I were joking darkly about current events when I sent her this. She imagined her obituary to read:
“She died doing what she loved, sending an email “

Walk me out, in the morning dew, my honey...
Remember Debbie does Dallas? When Kim does LA. it will be a different sort of memory.

an animal crossing themed coffee cup and saucer, with a diner-style yellow and brown color theme. across the front is a stylized version of brewster, the resident barista at the coffee shop in animal crossing games.
behind the coffee cup are a row of coffee table books

@kittons tracked this one down for me a while ago and it finally made its way to me. enjoying this darling little cup with my traditional sunday morning french press*
* if you are a coffee person, i've been enjoying james hoffmann's surprisingly easy and nice french press method:

I'll have to try leaving mine longer and not pressing the screen all the way down. I always end up with sludge in the cup.
I use the method here: https://www.peacecoffee.com/blogs... Added bonus, the coffee guru in the video lives just up the street from me.

@bencmeissner oh nice! it's always so cool to have a local connection like that. i have definitely used some of the peace coffee guides in the past, so feel free to send my kudos!
and i was genuinely surprised at how well this method prevented the silt and sludge. i missed the satisfaction of the full plunge (STILL have the urge to do it every time) but that settling time does wonders (sometimes i do more than 5 minutes, even)

Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter above the Sydney Opera House.

I think this is a processed version of a photo from 2022 - it approximately matches https://apod.nasa.gov/apod...
but with some significant differences.
It’s not from this year, though. The 2026 planetary parade should be in the western sky from Sydney, and this is ostensibly a photo looking east from a boat in front of the MCA and Circular Quay.

youtube post: coffee expert james hoffmann (caucasian, male presenting person with glasses and a david lynch level coif) presents a french press brewing method in a nice kitchen space
per https://mltshp.com/p/1RLE2
a favorite coffee prep method of late (or, rather, a favorite prep method when i have time to be still and enjoy the process).
my brain has been in full anxiety mode, so every sunday morning i start the day by grinding 30 grams of my favorite coffee, boiling up 500 ml of water, and just sitting with the french press in silence for a bit.
addendum:
for those who enjoy coffee, or even just the science around how we make coffee, james hoffmann is a delight. he's always fun, kind, and gentle with his content. he's willing to talk about and try the cheap stuff as well as the hyper-expensive hipster chow; he's always interested in good stuff for everybody. a nice, calming addition to your youtube regimen.

this is seriously news I can use
/full agreement on his demeanor. He has certainly educated me on all things coffee.
The one where he deep-fried the beans instead of roasting them and his attempt to say anything nice about it all was wonderful.
Been on team French Press for decades. Welcome!

We've been French Pressers for a long time but, sadly, we've been in a bit of a hurry - certainly when compared to James Hoffmann.
(deep breath) will try and slow down

Back in the 90's I was on vacation and had press coffee at a restaurant, as soon as I got home I bought a press and have been making coffee like that ever since. I work at home so no hurry.
I've been eyeballing my amounts but will make a point of trying the scale this week.

The St. Louis-based band Man With Rope playing at Off-Broadway
There were (at least) three pretty great local lineups to choose from last night but I opted for the fundraiser for Welcome Neighbor STL, a local immigrant/refugee resource center: https://welcomeneighborstl.org/about
Man With Rope are a new-ish crusty hardcore band that has been making some waves. It's not easy/casual listening but they're pretty great live: https://manwithrope.bandcamp.com/

Photograph of a person smoking a cigarette in front of a Costco. They are wearing a black shirt and sunglasses, and appear to be a trapped behind/framed by many, many Costco shopping carts.
source: https://www.reddit.com/r...
Even before reading the title or cart handles I knew that was a Costco.
@Kevin Was it the shopping carts the size of a car that gave it away?
Costco, food, goods, and gas, fortress.
This photo sums up my six years under the mast at Trader Joe's all too well.
@bencmeissner the brick wall and door design was first, I assume all Costcos have those but mine certainly does, then the carts seat not folding up when they're stacked together. We only recently got those at our store so they kind of stand out to me.

A collage of four photographs all taken at a local Costco. The first image is a cartoon girl selling milk tea. The second is a red Lego suitcase. The third image is a 240 count Big red cup package, and the fourth image is the bread and pizza oven inside the kitchen at the front of Costco
Set of 4 pictures from my new Knockoff Kodak Charmera dupe I dropped into Canva.
For now, having a camera the size of your thumb is def encouraging photos I'd never take with a phone

where did you get this $8 lens of fun?
Pizza or hot dog?
@cristin I see this on AliExpress, with free shipping. https://www.aliexpress.us/item...
It’s CA$25 in Canada which is weird because we don’t tariff Chinese goods.
@cristin @Xedrik the prices on AliExpress are all over the place, sometimes shipping is also a wild amount too. Keep looking and eventually you'll find the right combination. I've heard it also helps to shop from a seller with a large number of 'previously sold' too.
Adjusting to NOT overnight shipping is weird but the savings are so far been worth it for the small number of things I've bought there

There was such potential...
I'm holding out for a "Jitterbug Perfume" or "Roadside Attraction" film. "Skinny Legs" would be too much to hope for.

Loved all the books but sad that none have been, satisfactorily, visually converted.

A photo of a finisher’s medal from Nashville Zoo’s 20th anniversary ZooRunRun 5k fundraiser race is held in my hand.
The weather was perfect, the course was beautiful, it was well-staffed and so well-organized. A great race.
And freaking miserable.
My boy was maybe (MAYbe) 200ft in when he asked “How long IS this?! Can we stop?”
We then walked the rest of the course, with him crying and whining and fuming and so on.
Mostly I think it was because of the ol’ ADHD facing a big task that feels insurmountable, but in the end he was so proud of himself for finishing (I was proud of him, too, of course!) and has been FaceTiming basically everyone he knows to tell them that he finished his first 5k race. So good job Wesley, and hopefully it will be a long time before I have to do another one with him. 😂

A Sinar large format camera photographed from the front. There is a small lens on a custom made lend board plugged in with a cable release and a flash sync cable.
Recently got made redundant so I'm looking for my next gig.
But we're paying rent on the studio plus I've got a bucket load of Fuji Instax so the studio is a nice place to be. Trying to work on a new project.

A rack of smoked ribs and sausages lying on a cutting board.
Pork spare ribs and a small rack of beef ribs. Ribs got six hours. Sausages were from Uli's—uncured bacon (fine) and heavy garlic chicken (excellent)—they got two and were finished in a braise of beer w/ onions.
well cooked
Dang!
I can taste the magic from here.
Hell yes 🤤
Aw yeah and the weather just turned right to fire up the smoker again here.
damn, I just had dinner, and now I'm hungry again
Hot damn. On my way

A barren, reddish-pink landscape under a black, starry sky. It looks like a desert on another planet. In the middle of it is a small mound of rock, with a boulder balanced on top of the rock. The rocky pile casts a dark purple shadow on the flat ground. Sitting on top of the boulder is a blue person, its back to the viewer. It has one hand on the rock and another hand on its knee, and it is staring up at the starry blackness, undoubtedly thinking that it is tired of earth. These people. It is tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
samesies.
