the curious case of the office chickens
alt text
cropped phone pic: a tiny translucent plastic chicken, sitting on a window ledge, with daylight passing through it. behind it is a frosted glass window, and below, a dark wood panel
it’s been hectic at work. i hate it. the only good thing about it lately has been finding these tiny (~1”) plastic chickens in random places at the office.
last week, i noticed one on a short fridge next to the office espresso machine. a day or so later, i saw a second on a random shelf on another floor. a day after that, a coworker happened to say “did you see the neon orange chicken in the drinks cooler?”.
he and i found three more the same day, and another coworker i mentioned the chickens too said she’d spotted another in the ladies bathroom on the floor above mine. no-one in office has owned up to it yet.
now there are at least seven of them around the office. i don’t know what person is doing it, but bless them for giving me the tiniest slice of whimsy to get me through the day

Why are there so many paintings of half-naked women looking through telescopes? And why do they always include a pig in pajamas? Come on, artists- do something new.

I don't know much about art, but I know what I like.
There wouldn't be so much art about it if it didn't keep happening.
Shoo! Scat!

Remixed webcomic of stick figure dad walking into a room asking "Are ya winning, son?". The stick figure boy sitting at a compute replies "I'm making 11 people laugh on mltshp". The original comic used Mastodon in the punchline.

Me and the mister
alt text
A woman with grey-brown hair pulled back in a brain and a green plaid flannel shirt stands behind a man who is seated. He is wearing a grey toque and black glasses and has a full white beard. He has one eye open for some reason. The woman has a hand on his shoulder and holds a piece of a cookie in her other hand. The woman is me and the man is the mister.
Not a great photo of either one of us but somehow I love it. This was before we sat down to watch the town talent show.

A stark white corridor with narrow white vertical lights along it is interrupted by an upside down umbrella like thing catching water from removed ceiling tiles. It has a black flexible pipe coiling down to a floor drain. There are tensabarriers around it to stop people tripping over it
The new Line 5 Kennedy building is leaking like a sieve. Metrolinx quality construction

And here I was thinking it was an installation at MOCA
@m3moellering lovely building, shit build quality. Very late, very over budget. The streetcar system is pretty decent, just the infrastructure around it is bollocks
I had a friend who lived in a giant loft one the top floor of building with a leaking roof. The owner was a friend and she didn’t pay rent, so couldn’t complain. She also made contraptions like these with improvised gutters with attached hoses emptying into large drums that she regularly siphoned out with a hose out of a window.
Eventually someone ratted her out and the building’s roof was deemed unsafe and she was escorted out by the cops. She could collect her belongings a few days later under the supervision of someone from the fire department.

Color photograph of a live lobster in a wooden box. Its body is divided sharply down the middle, with orange coloration on one side and black on the other.
source: https://www.popsci.com/environm...
"A two-toned lobster is set to make a splash at the Woods Hole Science Aquarium in southeastern Massachusetts. Lobstermen on the fishing vessel Timothy Michael caught the rare split-color (bilateral) lobster off the coast of Cape Cod on April 16 and donated it to the museum. This rare split coloration occurs in roughly 1 in 50 million lobsters."

Yes their cybersecurity standards look crisp, but they are owned by humans who are both flawed and open to being purchased by capitalists.
No thank you.

Utah just put a law into effect making it illegal to use a VPN to bypass ID verification on adult websites. Like how are they going to monitor that?

CRT TV in the surf
My brain told me this was a drone shot from 200 feet in the air.
This was a brutalist home that was once in a city, but it was the only home that survived the blast that blackened it. A la Planet of the Apes, centuries had passed and the sands of the earth had grown up around it. Explorers had now found it and we learned that Earth as we know it really is the burned out remnants of nuclear war a million years ago. And here we were, about to do it again.
Then I realized it was like, a TV, face down on the beach

@bezt I think it's a licensed figure. There's a US company that also makes them, a local hot dog chain here bought one and would move it from one shop to another but I think too many people complained about how weird it was because I haven't seen it for a few years.
Put a little mustard on it

Lucas Brar video of Smooth Criminal played as a fugue on the guitar. It's short and gets to the point pretty quickly. I'm no expert, but this seems to have taken a lot of talent.
