Vying (lazily) for armpit sniffs

There are few pleasures greater than the moment a brand-new soft contact lens first hugs your eye

This is the 1st MLB game I’ve watched on Fox in a while. I dig the way they show the strike zone

At this point, it must drive Rob Thomson nuts to know, even before he makes the bullpen call, that it’s doomed to fail, no matter who he picks, no matter how good their nunbers are. I wonder what the devil offered him in exchange for this curse. #Phillies

Could someone please tell the Hayward fault to get on Pacific time? 3am is too early for dogs running around barking #earthquake #oakland

A tan pit bull sleeps on its side in a sunlit dining room, with its body on a rug and its head resting on Saltillo tile.

A sign on a lamp post. The sign reads “Need a mow job? Lawn by Shawn - Text 614-705-8944”

I suspect Shawn is a busy guy 👏

Headlines Used to Have One Sentence. Not Anymore.

Screenshot from a news article, showing an alpine scene and a picture of Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger. The article's title is "Search Teams in B.C. Rush to Aid Man - Discover He Was Just Singing Nickelback"

🎶🎤 LOOK AT THIS MOUNTAIN PASS 🎶

A screenshot of a headline and blurb from BBC News. The headline reads "Tesla awards boss Elon Musk $29bn in shares." Beneath the headline is the following sentence: Tesla's board hopes to retain Elon Musk amid a fight for tech talent in the sector.

The board "hopes to retain" him? What are they worried he'll do... go work for GM? 🙄

A grey and white pit bull looks into the camera. A navy Savannah Bananas baseball cap is sitting cocked to one side on its head.

View from above of a latte sitting on a counter. A white heart appears in the center of the tan latte foam

Made the wife a latte… once in a while, the pour comes out just right

This is such un-American BS. Reagan would be furious

El Cap decided to move to Wyoming? 🤦‍♂️

Hot makeout session #dogs

What’s going on with measles vaccinations in Mississippi? I would’ve expected its rate to be similar to adjacent states, but instead it seems to have just about the highest rate in the country (though trending downward lately). Why the difference?

RCV is good. Nonpartisan primaries would be at least as good. Gotta curb the ability of the farthest-out-there factions to control who makes it to the general election

A local red-shouldered hawk has taken to perching on our deck railing. First 3 photos from last week, last one from just now #Oakland #birds

A screenshot showing the song “Steady, As She Goes” by The Raconteurs playing. The song is included on a Spotify playlist called “One-Hit Wonders”

Spotify calling The Raconteurs a one-hit wonder might be enough to send me to Apple Music

He thinks he’s scary, but he’s really not

Two dogs sharing a dog bed together. There is very little extra room in the bed.

Another angle of two dogs sharing the dog bed. Two feet to the left of the occupied bed, an identical dog bed sits empty.

Why did we bother with the second bed?

Two Stellar’s jays just chased a hawk out of our neighborhood. It tried landing on four different trees now and they kept squawking and going after it. Wild to see

Oak Park, Oakland. On a hill with Broadway on one side, Harrison on the other. Lots of small/smallish multi-unit buildings mixed in with SFRs. Close to Sprouts, Grocery Outlet, Piedmont Ave, closeish to Adams Point. 1 mile to 19th St BART

A wide-brimmed hat sitting upside-down on a deck. The hat is filled with lemons

Persimmons reminding me that I have a couple months until I have to figure out what to do with them. At least with lemons, there’s always juicing

An animated GIF of a scene from the movie Zoolander. A protestor hits Will Ferrell’s character Mugatu with an egg.

To be fair, if the Rockies were allowed to hit the ball off a tee, they’d have at least 4 wins #mlb
