Did you see their cover of Girls just Want to have Fun? Even better IMO

A gorgeous view of azure waters gently washing up against a rocky beach and surrounded by old villas

The snack made the view much prettier.

An informative sign about a lovely citadel on a mountainside constructed in the 1600s to the right of the photo. On the left is a simple sign pointing to the left that simply says SNACK.

The trail continues, with the same sign attached to a low curving rock wall, pointing the way to SNACK

Getting close to the long and arduous hike up a literal mountainside, the SNACK arrow is bolted to a green metal railing and pointing to the right

My kind of tourist attraction #onegoodthing

Giant mural from Italian artist Vera Bugatti appears on Old Street A girl with green hair stares out at passers by on the crossroads junction between Old Street and Goswell Road.  In her arms she holds a chicken and on

Looks like it is in London, the artist of the mural is Vera Bugatti according to this source: inspiringcity.com/2017/01/29/g...

The derpy birb screams at a competitor above to back off (I assume; or maybe it had opinions on the state of modern finance, who knows)

Turf was defended

A very derpy birb has made itself comfy on a metal balcony railing and stares inside, waiting for human servants to emerge with snacks. Behind the derpy birb is a gorgeous orange sunrise, perhaps the birb is watching the sunrise in the reflection on the glass.

Getting stalked by a stodgy seagull at sunrise was a surprise this morning #onegoodthing

It turns out there are times when the judgement of a human is important, this is a critical feature. Case in point, the passenger who found himself driving through a sideshow 🏎️

A photo from behind an unidentified man whose face is not shown but is holding a cellphone to focus on his view of the Davinci painting of the Mona Lisa. You can’t see it but he is at the front of a big pushy crowd waiting to get their own shot of a very popular lady.

Who needs a photo of the Mona Lisa when you can have a photo of a photo of the Mona Lisa, amiright? Winning! #onegoodthing

In case anyone wants a little break, here are a few of my favorite facts that I learned in 2025, in no particular order.

Some trees benefit from, and may even encourage, getting struck by lightning because it kills their nearby competitors nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

That is tough, they have grief over the world they know and yet they should be excited over the *next* world you invent. maybe you could go with something like “don’t worry, the next series will have more dwarves in ruffles” and just non-sequitur them into pondering the bright future ahead?

A black espresso machine sits on a kitchen counter. The machine is a simple steel frame 11 inches tall by 8 inches wide by 9 inches deep with two buttons and a knob on the front. The buttons are big and beefy rockers and a tiny green light are embedded in each rocker. One button turns the machine on, starting the boiler. One forces water through the machine’s “portafilter” with a handle and a basket to hold grounds at (I assume) high pressure. The knob forces a variable amount of water through the steam wand. There is nothing else, no screens or preset buttons, no grinder or timer, it is just a thing you plug in, that heats water and diverts it under pressure. The model is an espresso classico by Saeco.

Today’s #onegoodthing: There is something gloriously tactile about manipulating the electro-mechanical buttons on this old espresso machine to make a tasty drink. Why it should make a difference, I can’t explain but it brings me joy nonetheless.

Walkies with your best friend #onegoodthing

A lone tall scrub branch stands in silhouette as the last bit of haze burns off of the beach, waves gently rolling in and the sun peeking through the last band of clouds on the horizon. Everything is lightly golden, almost a sepia print of a beautiful morning.

Sunrise on a Sunday morning #onegoodthing

A tropical flower blooming on the side of a beachfront path with 5 stamens spread out like the base of a campfire and 3 petals colored and shaped exactly like a fire emoji

TIL there is a flower made of 🔥 emojis #onegoodthing

Happy birthday to lots of my infosec friends on Facebook

The intense orange glow of the sun about to break through low lying cloud, with multiple rollers breaking on the beach below. The shot is not perfectly level to the horizon but c’est la vie

Today’s “best sunrise shot from my phone” while other lovelier shots sit unseen on the fancy camera #onegoodthing

Gonzo sits atop a mexican donkey, Gonzo (not the donkey) is wearing plaid pants, a yellow shirt with what I think is a chicken pattern, and a santa hat. All involved look ready for pressies and family.

Gonzo says Merry Christmas (also the last toys-gone-wild xmas-themed #onegoodthing)

But do you recall? Alas, some things, which should not have been forgotten, were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.

A plush goose in an elf costume wearing a candy-striped hat looks jaunty astride a brass flamingo, clutching a present and ready for festive mayhem

Happy Christmas Eve day #onegoodthing * images courtesy my brilliant funny sister

A small vintage felted Santa Klaus with clips for arms attached to a slightly larger art deco reminiscent skyscraper lit from within such that the windows of the skyscraper are warmly lit. The overall effect is of a monster Santa scaling the Empire State Building (at least in my mind)

Today’s #onegoodthing: monster toys repurposed for Christmas spirit 🎄

Black-and-white cartoon of a Roman wooden fortress with a guard on the wall and a large catapult on the left, launching a stone tablet engraved with the Roman numerals “MDXXVI” toward a lone person standing outside and holding a small bundle of goods; beneath the scene, a caption reads: “We sent you a secure access code! Do not share this code with anyone! Your access code will expire in ten minutes!”

A frosty pint of Manny’s pale ale on the marble countertop of the busy bar-in-the-round at an Earls Restaurant. Next to my frosty pint is a lonely Christmas decoration - a coniferous tree made of wire and sprayed with something sparky to approximate snow!

Today’s #onegoodthing: a tiny Christmas decoration plopped down all by itself on a busy bartop in a busy restaurant filled with busy happy people. Tasty pint of Manny’s for scale

A skeleton wearing a brown tshirt with a massive inflatable cartoon turkey that has the same face

#OneGoodThing for the day - shoutout to the homeowner whose thanksgiving decorations include a 10-ft inflatable brown turkey standing next to a skeleton wearing a t-shirt with the same cartoon turkey face on it. May all your thanksgiving efforts have this much chaotic energy 😍

[Scene is a MEDIEVAL PLAGUE PIT with all the bodies inside it. On the edge of it is a young peasant woman, in a sack cloth dress, covered in boils. She is lounging glamorously next to the pit. Her boyfriend is standing a few feet away, photographing her with an anachronistic mobile phone] GIRL: OK so I'll sit here... With my hair like this… Rubbing my cyst with the corpse's hand. [She produces a whithered severed hand and starts rubbing it on her face.] [We are treated to a revolting close up of her rubbing the severed hand on her disgusting massive cyst.] [Her boyfriend takes a photo of her.] SNAP GIRL: OK, now write this: "Hanging out at the burial pit, rubbing my sebaceous cyst with a severed corpse hand from #BurtsGraverobbers…” And then: #selfcare, #metime, #BurtsGraverobbers… ... nails emoji, heart emoji, cyst emoji. BOYFRIEND: Um... Should we really be promoting this? I mean… does rubbing a corpse's hand on a cyst actually work? GIRL: Look, Burt's done research, OK? And he's paying us four groats. BOYFRIEND: Hmm. [Boyfriend dutifully taps out the post on his phone] TAP TAP TAP BOYFRIEND: Cyst emoji? GIRL: Just use a fried egg. [Ends]

What about pedantic replies to shitposts about pedantic replies on shitposts?

Think of it as a growth opportunity

Sometimes that #onegoodthing is bittersweet… an anniversary at our favorite restaurant
