But you get rewarded with this shady respite. #jokephone #thanks

Hit up the joke phone this morning. #worththehill

Missed the corpse flower’s peak bloom at the Botanic Garden, but I also missed the nasty smell and the long lines. Life’s full of trade-offs.

Poem title: At the Intersection The poem is divided into two overlapping circles. The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads: the day we went out to have an ice-cream, we said nothing just let our silence melt in the air as we walked across the common our love never tiring at all The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads: we should have talked it over but nothing ever seems to get in your fat head. You are so common that I wish we’d never met at all and I’d married Tim instead In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads: we have nothing in common at all

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.

Spotted in the Pentagon parking lot. I approve. No notes. 🦈

Stomping spotted lanternflies all over Pentagon City, even tho Va Dept of Ag says reporting isn’t necessary. #civicduty

I’m so behind on GA but trying to catch up just for your masterful (and spot-on) recaps. I hope to work the phrase “a motherfucking banger of a line” into impolite conversation very soon.

You just can’t get to Acme Pie….

A moment of silence, please, for their dolce de leche.

Is it Cups, Popcorn, Some Kind of Beans?

Target. What back to school smells like.

Spotted in the Penrose garage. I feel like there’s a story waiting to be told.

Today’s Climate Forecast    And onto today’s climate forecast,  where we can expect to see a prolonged spell of inaction, interspersed with patches of hazy promises across many areas.    Over Westminster and other centres of government, a build-up of hot air will cause inactivity to soar to record levels over the coming days, in spite of the high pressure.   Elsewhere, a front of chronic misinformation  will sweep in from the east,    bringing with it a thick band of climate change deniers and the chance of scattered falsehoods,   while powerful gusts of idiocy and ignorance look set to blow across social media. Outbreaks of ‘We just got on with it in 1976’ and ‘It’s called the British summer, mate’ are likely.   In summary: unsettling.   Brian Bilston

And now for today’s climate forecast …

Lead me not into temptation. I have a board meeting to prepare for, but I glanced over while I was lunch, and this book and this chair and that ray of sunshine are tempting me. I feel my willpower slipping away.

Paving paradise to put up a parking lot? 😢

1970 according to the internet. 🤷‍♀️

RIP to Bobby Sherman, my OG idol and my first concert ever. God bless my mom for making that memory so vivid for me even now.

Here’s hoping you find at least one more. Three of a kind always beats two pairs!

I’ll show myself out.

DYK? The National Weather Service has a whole page of heat-related infographics that you can download to share. ☀️🥵 #dcwx

That’s such a nice store, too. Amazon sharks must be circling. 😡

Harsh. And sad.

I am fairly certain I could walk into the Spencer’s Gifts at the mall in 1975 and go straight to the shelf where this sat.

Pike is flooding near Wm Jeffreys.

Time to harvest some 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓!
