Oh you're saying I can use a riddle to confound the inscrutable creature who wants to drain my life force?

A backhoe digging a ditch in our neighbor's front yard, dumping the dirt into the nearby dump truck. There's a Jersey wall between the sidewalk and the road. (They're doing a bunch of water mains work, replacing the sidewalks, and we get CURB CUTS.)

Shit, the Greater North American Cable Seeking Backhoe has been sighted in the neighborhood, we need to get someone out to spray for it as soon as possible

Every now and then I check on the COVID wastewater data for Brooklyn and marvel at how much better things are than even 2022. It's a nice little boost.

Okay, on reflection I am slightly relaxing my rule on "only human-made art".

Saw this post on tumblr with an actual poll attached to it and the overwhelming winner was "I don't believe life begins at conception but I would still sell liquor to the baby"

4 photos. One is of a mostly eaten pecan pie, the other three are of a very large fluffy white dog who is absolutely delighted with her choices

Today is the 9th anniversary of the day Maggie stole an entire pecan pie and got drunk from all the sugar. Happy Purloined Pecan Pie Day from our family to yours!

Sounds great.

Doin anything fun with your week? We're heading to the beach at the moment

Guy on the radio in the cab was talking about work from home, but deliberately omitted "in the office" every time he talked about working.

"Some people only work two days a week", clearly implying anyone wfh isn't working.

I hope everyone remembered to leave out 26,000 tons of iron ore last night on Edmund Fitzgerald Eve

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

About to head out on vacation and I feel like the on-fire Lupin in Cagliostro, just trying to be on a glide path to the escape car and hoping that I get put out before landing
