Eight week old terror mix. She loves Furgus, he’s not so sure yet, but he hasn’t let her out of his sight.

SQUEEEEE.
HOORAY
Ava is a great name for great dogs. Don't just take my word for it, ask my great dog: Ava.
squee!
looks to adorable to be a terror of any kind
Memo to yourself: Never negotiate with terriers.
It doesn't work and it only annoys the terrier.
Also: NEWWWWW DOOOOGGGGGG!!!

An illustration of people in a park. The illustration style is line art with solid color fills. There is a large green hill in the middle of the background, with several different green trees behind it. There is a red sun in the light blue sky. The foreground is a brown walking path with the following people:
1. A person reading a piece of paper while looking at a flower bush
2. A mother and child walking
3. A couple with a small child in a stroller walking
4. Two friends chatting

I received my first Postcrossing postcard today! From Seoul, South Korea!
I started last October, loving it so much. I'm almost at 35 sent which gets me one more card in the rotation. So far all awesome interactions and words apart from the one I got today from Germany. it said "I live here, it has castles" That was it, and it was a picture of a squirrel, not even a castle. So I went to write him a thankyou message and I looked at his profile and he didn't have one, just 525 cards sent and received. I guess we all do it a little differently haha

stillframe from the recent 4K restoration of tim burton's 1985 film "pee-wee's big adventure". centered on-screen are james brolin and morgan fairchild, moving in for an embrace in an over-the-top film-within-a-film re-enactment of the story. behind them is paul reubens in a bellhop uniform, grinning and obviously watching the scene playing out in front of him.
criterion flash sale got me for exactly one (1) thing, which was cashing in enough subscriber appreciation credits to get the "peewee's big adventure" blu-ray for essentially nothing.
it's been a long, long, long, long time since i watched this (long enough, in fact, that i'm pretty sure the last time i saw it, it was a well-worn home VHS recording of an HBO airing).
that said, this gag with james brolin and morgan fairchild lives rent-free in my head.

He's no Barry Bostwick
Saw a replica of his bike at the Alamo last month.
Tell me about your big "but", Simone.
In the scene where he's first locking up his bike, did they put back the crop where you can see the chains coming up from underneath the basket on the bike? I was irate when I saw they had "fixed" that at some point.
The tracks on the signs when Pee Wee was driving were also a fun "error."
@trey it was a matting error when they aired it on tv. From a random Redditor "This is an "open matte" error.
I think we're all aware of the 16:9 theater format versus the home television 4:3 format issues. Often films were filmed on a frame that captured 4:3 but matted to be 16:9. The camera would have markings to tell the director where the matte would go and usually anything in this space was seen as irrelevant as it would never be seen.
One way that was found to make widescreen movies into 4:3 was to open up the matte -- effectively, remove the matte and restore the original 4:3 frame underneath. The upside to this is that you don't lose any information and don't have to do pan and scan. The downside is that sometimes things that were never meant to be seen end up in the frame."

We still mock a HS friend that after viewing this in the theater announced, "I laughed two times. I know because I counted."
@trey, the criterion page lists the aspect ratio as 1.85:1, so that likely covers margin stuff visible the broadcast/VHS version. (i remember reading somewhere that they shot it open matte in a more-tv-shaped 4:3 aspect ratio with the intent of cropping/covering segments of the negative for final presentation, but it was forgotten when transferring to VHS.) i agree that it’s a good gag, though, intentional or not. i’ll try to remember to report back on it when i get the disc
@1f2frfbf while i was writing that comment, i was trying to think of what else got through that open-matte with the VHS/ broadcast presentation and that was it!

oh whoops, it took me too long to type the comment and someone beat me to it!

A selection from today's shoot. My groupmate brought this really cool acrylic sheet with some sort of translucent iridescent sticker on it. One of our concepts for this project is defining the sea as a portal that folks use to escape. She got some other really cool shots and we're going to keep playing with the concept, including hanging the sheet as a frame to shoot through. Her examples having our 3rd groupmate holding it up are really striking.
I was playing with it while they talked to some subjects and I shot this weird reflection/window overlay double exposure vibe. I really like how it shows the two sides of the coast between water and beach infrastructure.
Sony A7iii, Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 at 36mm, f11, iso 100. The trick was focussing on the area behind the screen and then locking to manual focus which gets matched in the reflection. I then lined up the reflection of the horizon of the sea with a breakwater jutting out into said sea behind the screen.

Joel was an Edgartown police officer and, I'd like to think, something of a friend. While I'm usually 110% ACAB Joel was one of the good ones.
Sincerely.
As good as they come.
He was the officer who arrived first on the scene when I had my troubles back in 2008 and, I'm told, he took exceptional care of me when I was at my most vulnerable.
For that I will always be grateful.
My heart is with Joanne and the girls.
Flights of angels Joel.

I do think that police officer can be "oom agent" and "to protect and serve".
Perhaps more in the NL than in the US.
Do you mind telling what happened in 2008?

A crevice of coral and in the middle is an iridescent scallop. The coral turns from pale yellowish white to pink at the top of the scallop. there is a small gap between the top of the scallop. there are dark tiny tentacles in a horizontal row like eyelashes. Below that is glowing round things that are purplish and pinkish. There is a purple stripe below that and there is cyan banding. Below that there is purple spots on a dark background. There is a weird yellowish/brownish colored section that has bright cyan and yellow lining. The center is dark. The bottom is the same colors as the top in reverse.
Here's to iridescent animals still on this earth.
@MackReed I love iridescent animals.
I would still vote for you if you removed the word 'iridescent' from your sentence.
Maybe I'd vote twice!

A wide green meadow under a blue sky. The meadow is dotted with small white and yellow flowers. There's a blurry gray treeline in the distance. In the foreground, hovering in the air, is a very precise hole in the sky, or maybe in existence itself: a portal that reveals a starry night sky beyond. Hanging down from the sky, attached to something unseen, is a small green exit sign: the green European kind, with a small running figure, and an arrow pointing to the hole. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"You may have missed or been befuddled by the announcement that Mountain Dew Baja Blast is now the official soft drink of Major League Baseball, but you simply weren’t considering the potential brand activations."
"oh this would explain the email I got from Mountain Dew last week asking if they could send me a Baja Blast x Rawlings thing (I did not take it)"

A skeleton lay in the dirt beneath a church. The church floor tiles have been removed and after an archaeological investigation the skeleton lay exposed. The image shows the floor and skeleton in situ
NSFW because skeletal material
It's looking like the actual Dartagnan's remains may have been discovered under a Dutch church. A very cool find if true. At the very least it's someone of note (at the time) to have been buried there and in such a way.

And yet, the journalists decided not to wait until the DNA results were back from Germany to run the story.
@m3moellering If they waited there might not be a story after all. Have to answer when opportunity knocks.

I had this idea for people to try to run their dogs for president in their respective homeowner's associations. "There isn't a rule that says a dog can't be president" happens and then the dogs all win because humans can't beat a dog in a democratic vote and golden retrievers across the country do the best job of running HOAs by not actually running them.
aint no rule that says dogs cant drink your milkshake

a vote result page from Toronto's City Meeting Admin Console, showing a 26-0 vote with even Holyday in support!
Bit of an explainer: we have a councillor in this city (Holyday) who votes against *everything*. New pedestrian crossing on the other side of the city from Holyday's ward? Opposed!
But today he actually voted for something (that wasn't his motion; those usually fail 1-25). But out of habit he voted against, so the council had to redo the vote so he could vote for it.
