a dark orange sun that has its color distorted by the Canadian wildfire smoke appears behind the Wings of Progress in Rochester, NY

I love that view and that building. It always reminds me that we are capable of so much more.

Middle-aged woman in T-shirt that says WTFWJ
I made this shirt to wear to evangelical family reunions, back before I went no contact. Every time I wear it people ask where I got it so I decided to sell them, with 10% going towards Prevent Child Abuse America (since evangelical culture contributes to so much child abuse). In my personal experience you will piss off the right people and start good conversations with the right people while wearing this. Good trouble!

A wrinkled and yellowed sheet of paper upon which a child has written in block letters “DRUGS EVEN KILLED THE DINOSAURS.” The poster depicts three animals - an archaeopteryx, a pteranodon, and a nautiloid - with their relative sizes. A test tube labeled “CRACK” is being upended and sprinkled over the pteranodon, who is screaming “help!” via a talk bubble.
In neat red pen, a teacher has graded the work with a star and the words “I really appreciate your poster!”

Was going through a box of old stuff from my elementary school days at my parents house and found this bizarre poster presumably from a DARE class. I’m guessing I had just discovered The Far Side and Gary Larson’s iconic “what really killed the dinosaurs” comic. This is so very on brand for me in that it was more about how cool dinosaurs were than how bad drugs were. The little vial of “CRACK” appears to be an afterthought.
Can’t imagine the look on my teacher’s face as she declared how much she appreciated my work.

I kept looking for the view of a person actually sitting inside it.
@karmakaze or with the wheels turned, yeah.
Ceci n'est pas un penis.
Future man will not need to look behind, only ahead
@karmakaze Not a problem, there's no possible way for anybody to get inside it anyway.
@ardgedee Scroll down on the source. There appear to be doors in the mix.
If Grace Jones were a car.
Cylons
@MackReed The doors seem about as practical as the front wheels. If I can get into that without bumping into the frame I'd be damned surprised.

Against a red background, the young Leo Messi is sitting on the floor, his (studless) sneakers quite visible, somewhat awkwardly posed giving a plump baby a bath in a plastic baby tub. Baby shampoo, a towel, and a suds-covered rubber ducky are on the ground in front of the tub. The baby looks unimpressed.

Leo Messi gives the infant Lamine Yamal—now perhaps the best young soccer player in the world and a standout for the Spanish national team—a bath in a photo for a UNICEF charity calendar in 2007. (Yamal grew up in suburban Barcelona and his parents won a lottery for him to participate in the photo shoot; the 20-year-old Messi was on the team but not quite a star for Barca at the time.) They'll play against one another in the World Cup final on Sunday.

The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

So insidious. There is at least some movement to get them banned from particular spaces at least.
I've heard there's already an app that will alert you if anyone near you is wearing meta glasses

Three video stills: two Mexico supporters in jerseys, a man and a woman, are standing next to a very fit, shirtless young England supporter wearing face paint. In the first two stills, the female Mexico fan is checking him out, biting her lip as she looks at his muscular torso. In the third, the male Mexico fan is giving her an offended look, while the England fan looks over, confused.

With England's loss yesterday, this moment from the Mexico-England game is going to be their 2026 World Cup high point.
With England's loss yesterday, this moment from the Mexico-England game is going to be their 2026 World Cup high point.
Folks are questioning the providence of this. 1) Mexico and England only played once this tournament, and the score was 1-3 at 68:23. 2) The clock never moves. 3) All the cartoon hair.
yeah the paleness right in the center of the image around the checker-outer has my not-real-alarm beeping
@neuracnu @misslivie gdi, did I get got?
This is reacting to a series of videos where men look at women and get slapped by their partners. All at World Cup matches. All fake.

Screenshot of the Apple Weather app showing the air quality index for north Chicago, maxed out at 500
And quite possibly higher, but that’s as high as the scale goes. This was from last night around 11:30pm. As I post it at 10am, the AQI is 384.
If it's any help, you might be a lot better by tomorrow. The Twin Cities are back down to the mid 50s today after a couple of days in the 300s.
Yeeesh.
I would mask up for walks. Couldn't even see down the street. I remember seeing people outside a bar smoking. I mean, it makes sense, but it just seem so weird.

my supervisor (who is up around wrigleyville somewhere IIRC?) just mentioned how bad it was for her this morning.
stay safe! i'll definitely second what art mentioned; when we got bad wildfire smoke here last year, i definitely relied on an n95 when i was outside.

We were in the low 400's in central Ohio this morning, but it is starting to improve. The haze is still very obvious, and it smells like a campground outside.
Michigan beat the chart yesterday. There were no numbers high enough. It was BAD. Today, we are down from HAZARDOUS to UNHEALTHY.
Yesterday in Evanston it smelled like a campfire, but it didn't bother me too much. Today I don't smell smoke, but I can feel the air scraping my insides.

Wooden sculpture of a Chinese monk in robes and long string of prayer beads holding index finger up in a blessing. Half the figure is revealed and half carved away, making it look like a ghost or apparition, partially formed from nothing, his face serene. It stands before a dull red door of weathered old wood. door.

A glassy rock dagger
"This is the only dagger known from all of prehistory
with a blade made of rock crystal. Clear quartz, imported from far
away, knapped into a blade that shatters far more easily than flint,
fitted with a carved ivory hilt and sheath. It was made around 2900
BCE at Valencina, near Seville, and it was not carried in life. It was laid
as an offering above a body already buried, the richest grave of the
entire Iberian Copper Age.
When the tomb was excavated in 2008, the conclusion was
immediate. This much wealth, this kind of weapon, a leader of this
rank, must be a man. The bones were too degraded to sex reliably, so
the assumption filled the gap. They named the individual the Ivory
Man.
Then in 2021 researchers tested the tooth enamel, which holds a
sex-linked protein that survives when bone fails. The teeth carried
only the X form. The lvory Man was a woman.
Nothing about the object changed. The dagger was exactly as
translucent, the tomb exactly as rich. Only the label changed, and
the assumption behind it. And she was not alone. Nearby lies a group
of elite burials, most of them women, possibly her descendants, who
honored her for generations.
The blade was never proof of a warrior king. It was tribute to a
woman a female-led people revered. The dagger held its meaning the
whole time. We were the ones who misread it."

This is funny, but also, fucking hell, the air is bad here* thanks to those Canadian wildfires.

It's not quite beige right now (although it was when Canada burned in 2023), but the AQI in my north side neighborhood is currently 262. So not. great.
Spouse is in Duluth. The AQI pegged out at 500 today.

Mpls was at 500 this morning. The path of I-94 was smoky all the way north earlier.

We’re at 500 up in northern MI.
Presently visiting Cleveland and it’s fucking awful. Even in the wildfire plagued southwest I can only think of one time it was as bad as this. My flight home might be delayed as a result.
Also, amazing title.

Black text on the front of a white Full sweatshirt reads “Pulsur Design síðan 2016”
If ever you go to Iceland (we’re on an island off the southern coast as I type this), in Reykjavík there’s a resale shop where you can find great deals (like most resale shops), which is extra important when the exchange rate is not in your favor. I had the credible facepalm idiot moment of realizing I literally packed NO shirts with long sleeves this trip. Was thrilled to find this gem.

An image of flamingos reflected, in water, with low weeds.
This image caught my eye. I looked for a photographer attribution, and all I could come up with was the site, imageplotter. Inside the site no one would claim creative responsibility. So Best find out if this is an AI site, in which other's work is manipulated just enough to lose the definable string of ownership.
I like the graphic quality of this nature piece. I looked all over it for tell tale doubling, anyway.
Flamingos cool off in the shallow lakes of the Zwillbrocker Venn wetlands in north-western Germany. The nature reserve hosts the greater flamingo, which is the most common type, but also Chilean and American species, which are believed to be descendants of escaped former captive birds

vintage photo of a man at a computer while wearing driving gloves
SETEC ASTRONOMY
Don’t those chafe?
As a younger and poorer man I used to keep wool, fingerless gloves at my computer because I kept the heat in my apartment much lower to save on heating bills. Fingerless gloves are essential for use with a keyboard IMO so the person photographed here is clearly not a power user as the vibe of the photo is intended to imply.
Lol @samh I thought the same thing when I saw it. "WFT? This aren't fingerless gloves. Clearly staged."
Of course nothing else about the photo tipped us off, @Superyeti ; )

My hand holding a jar of yellow liquid
I've studied ramen a bit recently, enough to know what to get what I want out of it for now. I've been working on getting an unfancy chintan that I could keep in the fridge so I could do whatever lunch wanted, something I could throw in some tinned fish tare or some salmon leftovers, whatever. And then noodles.
Anyway, tonight I got the best chintan. It tastes like fresh gesso on a newly tightened canvas. This is thief toolbox chintan. With this chintan you could jump into a pickup road trip with nothing but cigarettes and sunflower seeds and drive a week through Zion National Park. With this chintan you could risk funding an Everglades amusement park with your excon cousin.This chintan held your hair while you vomited into a Greyhound station toilet in Boise, Easter 1996. This is the chintan of Trust, Trust Chintan.
Anyway, it's pig back, fresh bay, and garlic greens, and just so much love. And so fucking clear. I've got two jars that won't see next week.
It makes me want to start a cooking show because it's bigger than lunch

A Chintan so good it could be the main character in a Tom Robbins novel.
A chintan so cool it hums Tom Waits songs in the fridge and tells you that you look hot when you open the door.
I would watch this cooking show
A chintan which convincingly lies to you about how good the sex was.
a chintan that sits by you and holds your hand in the E.R.
A chintan that both drives you to the airport and picks you up again, and has a snack waiting for you in the car.
Idiot me thinking a chintan is something you get when you finally shave off your beard.
@Davezilla +++
A chintan that says it's OK to see other chintans.

@beijingpalmer: a recurrent problem in 16th century Beijing and environs was gangs of roving eunuch bandits.
@jonhendry: Motto: "Nothing Left to Lose"?
@beijingpalmer: this was pretty much it in reality! Desperate poverty led to adult men castrating themselves in the hope of jobs in the government, where the eunuchs were virtually their own branch. They would besiege govt offices demanding work, then turn to banditry when it wasn't available.
@deaconbluesclues: okay. fine. you got me. the current job market is not literally the *worst* one ever

every time that song comes on it's a race between me and my son to be the first to say "remember this song was playing when they went to Nowhere?" (he was obsessed with the Guardians of the Galaxy movie when he was younger)
This very song came through my earbuds on my morning ride today. 🖤
