Photo of a frypan and lid in their box on a store shelf. The product name is "Magic Hole" and the picture on the box shows the frypan with the lid partially on, containing a cooked whole fish and some vegetables in it, and arrows pointing to vents where the handle attaches to the pan. The manufacturer's name is "Kitchen Flower". Below "Magic Hole" is Korean:
"매직홀 생선팬 27X21cm • 가스레인지 전용"
"매직홀 생선팬 27X21cm • 가스레인지 전용"

That’s a good one.
The brand name isn’t helping either.

Aside from this magnificent cake, they sung happy birthday in four parts, each an entirely new song made up on the spot. Then they gave me the old guitar hero guitar (OMG!) with some games for it.
Also that's a cool table. Yours?
Happy, birthday, Al!
Happy happy birthday! What a marvelous family!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
here’s to many more trips round the sun for you, Al!
Happy cake day!
Happy bidet!
hippo birdie! what are the cake eyebrows made of?

Captured in bright indoor lighting before a hessian pin board, a Great Horned Owl with wide-eyes and wet-plumage is cloaked in a white cloth. Spiked feathers radiate from his head in all directions, like a hairy durian, accentuating his look of shock and indignation.
So, do you come to the bathhouse often?

Graphic illustration of a moment from a video in which everything in the background has been erased so it's only yellow. The illustration is a teenage kid drawn in all black, wearing glasses and a backpack, and has pulled back his fist in order to punch. The word "Okay" appears below him.

My kitten. Image was taken with a pixel phone. AI - ish content warning. I used the Google Photos magic eraser to remove the handle/strap of the laser pointer I was dangling to get his attention and punched up the colors and contrast a little because he is back lit.
Krypto and the health problems of a rescued from the street kitten.
Krypto was found alone in the street at less than three months of age. The animal rescue pulled some infected baby teeth, gave him shots, neutered him, and got him set up to be adopted. When we meet we became friends immediately, and I got to take him home. This was just before Thanksgiving.
On new year's eve Krypto began to act listless and stopped eating. In the morning, I saw he was trying to use the litter box, but couldn't. So on new year's day, we were at an emergency vet hospital fearing a bowel obstruction. They did X-rays and blood work but found no obstruction or reason for him to be struggling to keep things moving. They offered to keep him overnight for a couple thousand dollars to monitor him. I took him home and to my regular vet first thing the next morning. An enema and some more X-rays and more blood tests and a couple of vaccinations later, he was limping a lot from the blood draws and from a very big poop from a little kitten.
The next day, Saturday, he was not just still walking funny from his procedures. He was dragging his back legs behind him and struggling to do kitten things. I took him to a different emergency vet. They kept him 12 hours to observe and do more testing and specific X-rays looking for spinal injuries or swelling. The vet decided it was almost certainly Feline Infectious Peritonitis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
He is now on the GS-441524 on an 84-day treatment protocol. He started improving very quickly. This is costing about $30 a day in the form of 1.5 pills. So far keeping this little guy alive has cost me $5,000+ with the various vet visits, tests and medicines. I have a bonus coming in the next month that will very much cover this treatment, though I did have other plans for the money.
It's worth it, though. I love him with the fire of 1,000 yellow suns. I think the universe put him in my path so I could rescue him. If someone else had adopted him, they may not have been able to afford it and they would have been forced to make a choice I am blessed to not have to make. I figure if the universe wanted me to save him, I had better do that. I've fought the universe and lost before and he's just a kitten who needs me.
Krypto's veterinarian is very experienced with treating FIP and is very pleased with his progress. He is still struggling with some of his walking. When he runs, sometimes his back legs get very tangled and he falls. He doesn't jump as high or be as coordinated and graceful as you would expect a kitten of his age and size. However, he has gained about three pounds in the last 6 weeks. He is in fine spirits and plays and chases the laser, and tackles the other cat. He loves to be cuddled and be petted.
I am the luckiest man in the world.

30 years ago, I lost a beloved cat to FIP. It was a death sentence then. I am gratified to know that there is an effective treatment now.
Pulling for ya, little Krypto! Get well soon!

On August 31, 2023 I, with the help of some very lovely people, moved nearly everything I owned* into a storage unit in Bellwood, IL. On Fri I packed it all into a rental truck and drove it back to Boston.
We flew out Thur morning, rented a car at O'hare, drove to Elgin to grab some of my stuff from D&E. Lake county for more odds and ends at Sunbear's house. Then to the city for my speakers. Out to Oak Park so Andrea could see my old stomping grounds(and we could grab lunch at Mulata).
Emptied the rental into the storage unit. Spent the night down the street in Elmhurst where Andrea got her first ever butter burger and frozen custard courtesy of Culver's. It was DIVINE.
On Fri morning we swapped the car for a box truck and 2 hours later it was loaded and we were out. A quick stop in Homewood to visit an ailing friend and we were on the road by 4:00. Made it east of Cleveland by 11:00. Left Cleveland 7:30am and were back in Waltham by 5:30.
So that's all that sorted.
Once I wade through everything and get organised(and rehearse a bit) I'm going to fire up a live stream and play some music...
It's been waaaaaay to long since I've been behind the decks proper. I am very much looking forward to that.
Stay tuned.
*While my Sonus Fabers are clearly visible in the center of the frame they did not spend 2 & 1/2 years in an outdoor storage unit. They have been tucked into a closet at my brother's for the duration. They were gently previewed last night and as soon as our neighbor leaves for her business trip we will show Andrea what they are really capable of.

Fckin bees 😡
Finally! I can say "I'm just like Charles Darwin!" and mean it!
“I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything” is my new auto reply.

@bencmeissner for over a decade I kept a framed photo of Darwin on my work desk with that quote at the bottom

The 1836 quote would've been written while he was still on the Beagle. He was a martyr to seasickness, despite the years he spent at sea

Paging @wjcstp
@bencmeissner That’s great, I don’t know most of those bands but the Roe Family Singers are local to Mpls. Our band was just saying yesterday we should find some other bands to put out a split single or EP as a fundraiser.
nice! added to my list to buy soon
@wjcstp Yeah Roe Family Singers were the only one I recognized, too, and was the song shared with my neighborhood. The Bandcamp page says New Orleans for FCK ICE.
I think a local collection with fundraising for local aid would still be amazing. I'd be happy to spread the word if you're involved in one. Was happy to see you all wrote a protest song (and sorry I bailed without saying goodbye, I was nearing my bedtime :P)

toilet elevated by carpetted steps in a closet
As it gets full, you just add another step.
I'll be on my throne.
Tell me you have a basement apartment without telling me you have a basement apartment.
Perfect for Norovirus
My grandparents’ cabin used to have that carpet and my other grandparents had a raised toilet like that (not that high though).
Daddy long legs.
I can't believe we've gotten this far in the comments without "Imagine the smell"
@dreyfusslugado because no one even wants to contemplate imagining the smell.
It said ‘washable carpet’ on the roll.

Not sure if this is AI slop or not. However, if it is, this is exactly the kind of thing I believe AI slop should strive to be.
