Black-and-white photo of a man with a topkot wearing a kimono. He's behind the wheel of a white convertible car, driving away from another car and a dirt lot. There is a sword on the dashboard.

Drinks await in a charming pub
A drink of Irish whisky awaits in the Olde Starr Inn, the 'oldest' pub in York (1663)
we used to have a summer apartment across the road from that pub. It was up an absurd flight of stairs. Lovely city, though you weren't going to get a Sunday lie-in with the Minster bells being less than 100 metres away ...

Bar charts showing the causes of death vs reported deaths by cause in 3 media outlets.

Whenever I see some new life extension hype, I go and see how people are actually dying and what can be done to prevent it and it comes down to wearing seat belts, not climbing ladders, not smoking, controlling blood pressure and similar. If you are doing those boring things you are already in the top percentiles of life extension activities.
@ang same. I mean, bacon and sugar aside, I seem to be doing all the not dying correctly.

a promo still from the maybe-soon-to-be-released-but-probably-never movie "Leviathan Rises". it shows a water-streaked lens with the water somehow in focus with gray clouds in the foreground and reddish clouds with a lightning bolt like pattern in the far distance. superimposed over everything is text that says "Leviathan Rises, written and directeed by nathaniel hallford"
the word "directed" is misspelled by the ai slop generator that was used to generate the image

On the upside, this is a perfect example why AI is a scourge: people who know nothing about the process (or even the result) trusting a half-assed tool to do the work for them and claiming it’s good.
"Boy, those people are running awful slow."
That's not AI. My friend Jimmy is a leviathan and he was a stunt double in that movie.

A small shack hovers in space, several feet away from the edge of a cliff. It is tenuously tethered to the edge of the cliff by a rickety staircase. The shack has one glowing window, a television antenna, and a glowing white porch light. At the edge of the cliff, next to the staircase, is a small mailbox. This is a dark, teal painting, signed "Chris Silverman".
I'd go there to retire if it has space enough for all my records and board games.

random vinyl love: “celebration rock”, japandroids
alt text
a 2x2 collage of photos: the 2023 repressing of japandroids' 2012 album "celebration rock", including the monocrhome front cover, a full shot and a closeup of the black-and-white-splatter LP, and the open booklet sitting atop the gatefold jacket, displaying black and white photos of the band.
a (relatively) recent reissue i happened to grab in a shop the other day*. not the greatest-sounding master or pressing but lovely to look at, and nice to own for nostalgia's sake.
i bought this one digitally on its original release in 2012, played the hell out of it. a soundtrack to a murky time in my life. anthemic in a weirdly joyous way, if you like sweaty garage-y alternative rock soaked in alcohol.
* i visited my mom over the weekend to treat her to a mother's day dinner and help around the house for a day. she really wanted to check out a new vintage shop while i was there, which turned out to be "vintage for people who were born in the 2000s or later" and oh lord did i feel old walking in there, but i did find this in a lone crate of LPs that was otherwise mostly taylor swift reprints.
listen along // download:

A CVS self-checkout machine with five handmade signs indicating the machine has no cash in it:
"CARD ONLY"
"NO CASH BACK–NO MONEY IN MACHINE"
"NO CASH IN MACHINE DO NOT REQUEST CASH BACK NO MONEY IN THIS MACHINE"
"NO CASH AT ALL"
"NO MONEY IN THIS MACHINE"
...AND
"DO NOT PULL ON RECEIPT WHILE PRINTING"

And yet, the cashier says, no one reads any of them.

messing about in boats

Took my beloved and the terrier out kayaking (his first time, to see if he likes it so we can get our own kayak and save on rental fees) for Mother’s Day.
We all had a great time, so, yes.

I spent several summers kayaking around Lake Union in my late twenties, it's one of my favorite memories. I loved paddling down the rows of houseboats like walking down the streets of a somewhat wet neighborhood. The big apartment building on stilts just to the north of all the houseboats is a wonderful place to paddle under, have a surreptitious toke, and continue the paddle out to the arboretum.
The downside is when you take a break for winter, then come back the following spring/summer, you think you still have the arm strength to do long paddles, but your body begs to differ.

Also, did the kayaks have a skeg or a rudder?
@fnerg yes, we love ogling houseboats and imagining a lake life we could never afford.
And rudder, always rudder. It’s so much less stressful.

Me and the mister

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.
i love this
