Product photograph (likely for eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or similar) of an Atari clone home entertainment system, the Turnir, manufactured by the Ministry of the Electronics Industry and released only in the Soviet Union in 1978. The (machine translated) text on the box reads: "TOURNAMENT
HOCKEY TENNIS TRAINING."

I love the idea of hockey tennis

Fashion/magazine profile photography of Canadian actress Rachel McAdams wearing a gray blazer and tie, gray (or off-white) collared shirt, and black (possibly dark navy) slacks. Her mouth is agape and she is looking off to the side.

i just fell down a massive hole on cyclekarting.
Here is an exhaustive but entertaining page about the roots and basics:
https://www.huntsvillegp.com/baseckgu...
and the link at the bottom of it leads (eventually) to this image, among others, of a proposed offshoot class of cyclekarting named aerokarting.
now all i gotta do is move to Utah.

A pseudo-naive style pastel drawing showing a dogs head, the dog is lying on its side asleep, behind and somewhat back is a cat which appears to be looking on in horror or contempt.

Grey-haired old man, his pretty wife and genius son take up a row of an airplane, in flight.
My kid just graduated HS, and will be bussing tables and interning at a chemistry lab at NU this summer, before heading to University of Illinois in the fall (Chemical Engineering with a music minor). My wife starts a 6 month contract in a week from Monday that will involve a lot of travel. I’m slammed at work with 50-60 hour weeks likely through October.
But first, a week in Central Oregon!

I like the idea of bussing tables at a chemistry lab.
Sounds like a fun, fulfilling just time! Congrats and enjoy!

A dark house on a dark night, under a full white moon. The sky is deep indigo, with a bluish glow from the moon. The house has three windows and a veranda. There is no sign of life except for a thin wisp of smoke twisting up from the chimney. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Black and white single-panel cartoon.
A three-eyed fanged monster wearing a graduation cap and gown is standing behind a lectern with a university crest on it, addressing an audience of students (visible only as tasseled mortarboards) at a commencement ceremony.
Caption: "And, as you head out into the world, your fresh, meaty torsos will be ripped apart and roasted to feed your new alien overlords -- wait, why are you all booing?"
By Joe Dator and Kevin Maher.

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!
Is this the Jerry Seinfield speech?
@homerj I think it's a reference to academics and tutors who are addressing students on what looks like graduation day. They all mention AI and how pivotal it will be. All get booed (I've seen 3 so far).
The kids are alright.

A woman standing in front of a building in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, wearing the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" medal.
Melanie, my sister who has lived in Japan for 30+ years, received the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" the other day. It's the highest honour that can be given to a civilian (non-politician). She received it for "Contributions to the Australia Japan relationship and economic development". As part of the ceremony she had an audience with the Emperor, who she said "was very short".
Melanie is the little urban overachiever of our family. She's on the boards of Asahi, Mitsubishi Estate and Kawasaki Heavy Manufacturing, in addition to knowing just about everyone in the world. She regularly sends photos when she's out with various Heads of State.
I just happened to have a trip to Japan planned when the award was announced, so I got to represent the family. Unfortunately not allowed to be part of the official events, but we had plenty of drinks with friends afterwards.

Congrats to your sister!
おめでとう!
BTW, for someone who is both (1) a woman and (2) a foreigner to achieve that level of corporate success in Japan is truly impressive. (For example, here's the Board of Mitsubishi Estate: https://www.mec.co.jp/en... )
Wow that is neat, thank you for sharing that news.
@mikenmar It's very impressive.
That said, I have been drunk with Yoshida-san (the Chair) after we both drank too many highballs at a dinner at their private club.

Hi five Melanie, this is cool.
In an ideal world there would be very little happening and an Aussie winning Japan's highest honour would be in the news here.

Photograph of a blank wall on the side of a housing block. The wall is about 3 stories high.
More than two years ago, one of my neighbors suggested to me that I should paint a mural on an ugly wall at a square down my street.
It took me forever to scrape enough courage together to get funding from various kinds of places. But I managed. I got the money. I got the permits. I got the scissor lift. I got the wall renovated and plastered. I got the paint and a colleague that is going to help me. And it should be ready by June 13, because then it’s going to be officially opened.
I found the whole process rather nerve-racking because all in all it’s about €18,000. But my goodness, will I be happy and relieved once it’s done.

A sunny rural pasture with several horses grazing in the distance. In the foreground, a brown mare stands beside a young foal near a wire fence, while the long shadows of three people stretch across the grass under a bright blue sky.
While on vacation in central Oregon we watched some horses eat, including babies.
To be clear, it was baby horses eating, not horses eating babies.

I love this! Shadow portraits, so fine! Fade-proof family memories.
More interested in the horses that're eating babies, tbh. Found any of those?
The babies you feed to the horses, where do they come from?

Also curious about this baby eating business.
This may not be safe for viewing at work.

Teal colored low-poly ass overgrown hatchback of an electric car
I have been seriously researching and shopping for a couple of months, and closed the deal yesterday on a new (to us) EV, a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
We had our Honda Fit for just a few months short of 10 years, and it was a total champ. That Fit took us from MN to as far as Oregon and Toronto and back. We loved the small size and large cargo space, the purple color, the utter reliability, but the spike in gas prices, the flood of good options fresh off of 3-year leases and good trade-in value for the Fit made it feel like the right time to make a change.
Not enough miles with it yet to be past the honeymoon period, but so far it's total blast to drive and i'm hopeful it'll be as good to us for the next many years as that Honda.

Congrats! The Ioniq 5 is one of my upgrade pics over the Kona EV I've had for the last 3+ years.
Friend of mine bought one new and really likes it, though he gets frustrated with the all-touchscreen dashboard.
Ooo! We’ve been thinking next year we switch to voltage and that one’s on the list. Curious to know how it goes on every level!
Our neighbor has one and loves it
Salute!
My parents have one as do my sister and brother-in-law and they all love them!
@BMK This has dashboard buttons for a few core things, which was one of my requirements. I love the overall design of the Polestar 2, and it was at the top of my list until i test drove it and literally everything is controlled through the touch screen. It took 3 of us in the car a full 2 minutes to find and change the vent fan speed. I feel like the controls on this Ioniq are a pretty good compromise so far.
Coming up on our first year with a 2025 model (same color), easily one of the best purchases we've ever made
@fins Nice! Part of me wanted to wait another year until the 2025 model starts showing up used because i've owned enough hatchbacks to know the value of a rear wiper. I think that year is a real sweet spot in mix of features.
@MackReed One early observation, coming from a pretty small car, is that i'm consistently surprised at the size. It looks like a hatchback in photos and from a distance, but up close it has some heft to it. I love the interior space (the rear leg room is incredible), and it's not that large in the overall scheme of current cars, but it's not small.

@wjcstp yep, I rode in a friend’s 5, and that was my first impression too.

@jpoulos me too! Haha
Literally me this past weekend (once I acclimatized to Lake Huron's chilly waters)
I misread the trunks in the top image as a censor bar and was confused.
there was a reservoir (Millerton) that sometime had bermuda grass about three feet under the surface. one could duck down, grab fistfulls of gras and hand run very fast long distances, and pop up like a coot.
@otaman the big lake they call Gichi-Aazhoogami-Gichigami?
@wmo I want to do this

a small dark blue station wagon with cartoonishly oversized rear wheels and a massive chromed-out v8 engine sticking up through its hood
Oh hell yes
“Where’s the Supernova, kid?”
The only thing it's missing is wheelie bars
I think the sign in the window says For Sale but I can't make out the number.
This appears to be a dragster. Exhaust exits in front of the rear wheel and no muffler apparently. Blacked out rear windows suggest there is a mattress in the back. Or a coffin!

A Japanese street at night, with shops on the side, and an illuminated apartment building in the background. A man is walking away from the camera in the distance, just about to turn the corner.
After finding a restaurant near where I was staying in Tokyo that was serving whisky highballs for 199 yen, I went for a bit of a photo walk.
