My friend John's dog is lost! Folks in SF — especially in the Mission — keep an eye out, please!

The same Animal Crossing character stands on a grassy patch near a river, surrounded by trees, watching vibrant fireworks in red, blue, and orange with green centers. The sky is dark with stars, and the in-game clock shows 7:48 PM on Sunday, August 3rd, with the island minimap visible in the lower right corner.

A character from Animal Crossing, wearing a green outfit and glowing blue antenna headband, sits on a grassy ledge under a night sky, watching colorful fireworks in the shapes of a cube and a red heart. The time is 7:50 PM on Sunday, August 3rd, with a minimap of the island displayed in the bottom right corner.

Haven’t opened animal crossing for a bit but I’m so glad I did today. It’s a fireworks show on my island! And you can see some custom designs (like my book cover) turned into fireworks!

I remember why I was so utterly charmed by this game in the first place

Oh no! Hope you're doing okay and that things heal quickly!

OMG, @pui.bsky.social and I tried to come but you weren't open yet, lol. We'll make it to the next one!

Correction, I think it’s more like 100-110 years old.

BUT STILL

Close-up of a vintage Oliver typewriter with an olive green metal body and raised typebars arranged in an inverted “U” shape on both sides. The keys are round with white tops and black letters, including labels like “FIG” and “CAP” on the sides. The front reads “The OLIVER STANDARD VISIBLE WRITER.” The typewriter sits on a wooden shelf among colorful glassware and other vintage items.

It’s hard to express how much willpower it took me not to buy this 120-ish year old typewriter from an antique shop in Andersonville (Chicago) today. It was only $225!

WHERE’S MY TROPHY

Also fuuuuuck I forgot about humidity 🥵

A smiling couple taking a selfie in front of Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Behind them, one of the fountain’s large LED towers displays a close-up face of a woman, with water visibly running down. The park is busy with people and surrounded by trees and tall buildings in the background.

A close-up view of the historic green ornamental clock mounted on the corner of a building, displaying Roman numerals with the time at approximately 5:39. Behind the clock, modern glass skyscrapers and a faint airplane in the sky are visible.

Tall residential high-rise buildings with numerous balconies viewed from a low angle, under a partly cloudy blue sky. A signpost in the foreground reads “NO ACCESS LAKEFRONT NAVY PIER,” and large concrete planters with red flowers line a pathway marked “CANCER SURVIVORS PLAZA.”

Hello from Chicago! Haven’t been here for a minute. Excited to show @pui.bsky.social some of my old haunts

This is kind of a long story, but you should check it out and demand visa and Mastercard stop bending to the will of terfy shit that kills the livelihood of queer and trans artists

Awww yay! Glad you two got to hang out!

It looks like the Unoppressive Non-Imperialist Bargain Books in Greenwich VIllage closed a few years ago, which is a shame! Was gonna recommend that. A friend of mine really likes The Nonbinarian in Brooklyn, though — I think that's still going!

OpenAI signs deal with UK to find government uses for its models Wide-ranging agreement with artificial intelligence firm behind ChatGPT comes after similar UK deal with Google

“Hey, UK, we have this really big, expensive hammer. Go ahead and poke around your offices, and tell me if anything over there looks vaguely like a nail.”

Screenshot of an email from the San Francisco Public Library titled “Mori Point Dedicated eBlast” with the sender listed as "Noe Valley / Sally Brunn Branch Library." Below the header is a banner with the San Francisco Public Library and National Park Service logos. Navigation links include “Catalog,” “Blogs,” “Learn,” and “Events.” A large image shows a coastal cliffside landscape at Mori Point with ocean waves crashing against the shore, green hills, and a trail through wildflowers. A bolded text link reads “Field Trip to Mori Point.”

One of the (many!) endearing things about my (formerly) neighorhood branches of my public library is that sometimes, the subject line refers to their emails as an "eBlast" like it's 2006. *mwah*

Yes! That’s where I came to this realization. Josh was a contestant on an episode and their chemistry was hilarious

I’m not an Aussie, but I would absolutely murder for a buddy sitcom with Aaron Chen and Josh Thomas

Have a safe flight and a smooth move!

And now, the hormbles chormble the One True Chormbles all the way to the hormble

A mobile screenshot showing a domain parking page from Porkbun. The top text reads “Parked on the Bun!” Below is a cartoon illustration of a pink pig in an orange and black bathrobe, holding a bubble pipe and standing confidently. The message underneath states that the domain “chormbles.com” has been registered but no website is live yet. At the bottom is a domain search form with a text field labeled “find your domain…” and a pink “Submit” button.

See? Told you

Luckily, Chormbles.com is parked on the bun

I think it’s really telling that Hormbles Chormbles’s website is only Hormbles.com.

Really makes you think

Sarah.

If Hormbles chormble Chormbles, Hormbles should share Chormbles for all Hormbles to chormble.

Well, as you know, I believe Hormbles Chormbles chormbled Chormbles so for once in a Hormble all Hormbles could chormble.

If Hormbles chormble Chormbles, Hormbles should share Chormbles for all Hormbles to chormble.

Any of my mutuals using Beli (the restaurant recommendation app)? Come find me!

It’s fun (only played it a couple hours so far)! Definitely a lot like odyssey, but also, you can smash *everything*. It’s very satisfying!

This one definitely hits different

Yes! Grab a burrito at Pancho Villa (or her taqueria of choice), maybe hit a cannabis vape (if that’s her sorta thing), sit in the park and vibe!

It’s a bit chilly today but if she’s in the sun she’ll warm right up!

Two people sit on a grassy hill under scattered shade in a park, facing a panoramic view of San Francisco’s city skyline under a bright blue sky. The park, filled with palm trees and people lounging on the lawn, features a white building with a clock tower and a red staircase structure in the foreground. Fallen leaves are scattered on the grass and sidewalk in the foreground.

Had a little time to kill before dinner, so I wandered into Dolores Park.

It’s so easy to forget, between work, errands and the drama of the news, that I live in one of the most beautiful cities on earth.

A man wearing glasses and a tan jacket makes a comically exaggerated grimace while holding an oversized pair of novelty scissors with blue handles and large silver blades. He is indoors in an office setting with a ceiling of acoustic tiles and fluorescent lighting, and a mesh-back office chair is visible in the background.

In case you were ever wondering, ribbon cutting scissors are real-ass scissors and can cut paper. And presumably fingers.

ahhhh that lime green iBook! *swoon*

This is surprising because cats are just tiny little libertarian fascists. Seems like they’d be right up their alley
