Miss Nameless has passed beyond the rim 😢 I feel bad for my sister, but so grateful she took her in more than 4 years ago. Anytime I'd get to visit I could tell Nameless loved my sister. She already lived at a acreage friends had for years, when I rented a room she choose to move in with me.

So my sister spoke to my folks, and Miss Nameless the acreage cat who adopted me isn't doing very well at all. She was already having mobility issues and has lost an alarming amount of weight in a short time, she is 18 or 19. My sister is going to have a vet come over Saturday, she's very upset. 😢

Forgot to turn off my alarm, so I'm looking at the new Star Trek Magic The Gathering cards! This is a HUGE set, Watery Grave clocking in at #305 with basic lands presumably after makes this 30-40 cards larger than any standard set in recent memory. Surge foil Enterprise is #557... just wow

Went thrifting with my folks today, this was by far the best find for only a dollar! Yeah physical media!

Magnificent DIY repair job on a cart return bay at my local Walmart that was obviously destroyed by a vehicle. I’d almost be impressed if they weren’t a labour exploiting billion dollar company!

A close up of the pylon holding up the cart bay. The bottom foot of metal is missing and there is a lot of tape holding what’s remaining to the orange pylon

Whelp, since it’s Canada day I suppose I should get really baked and watch a tale about the legendary Canadian Zap Rowsdower.

Mount Benson looks beautiful this morning

Sorry, not sorry.

In the style of the matrix poster, 10 print "Hello world!" 20 go to 10

QTP with a ship that’s not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

The EAS Agamemnon from the TV series Babylon 5, an Earth Alliance space ship. As it's an earth ship it's not very sleek looking, more like a flying box next to a rotating box with some antennas and cargo pods attached.

I want to be there

Grosse Point Blank, keep John Cusack.

A block of text that reads ; Pick a movie. Keep one actor. The rest are played by muppets.

I’m not even supposed to be here today! It’s our annual customer appreciation hotdog BBQ tomorrow so I offered to come work a couple hours in plainclothes to get through an order and clean up the lot.

Sliver of the moon

The start of a sunrise, a dark blue sky against a completely black landscape. There is a sliver of orange/pink light on the horizon with a crescent moon visible

Picture of Peter Capaldi as The 12th Doctor standing on the TARDIS in the episode where he regenerated. His last words are quoted "Never be cruel, never be cowardly and never ever eat pears! Remember, hate is always foolish and love is always wise. Laugh hard. Run Fast. Be kind. Doctor, I let you go"

I got given a couple of American Monsters by my brother in law because he knows non Americans find their branding insane. This is absolutely insane BTW, other nations don’t do stuff like this on the daily.
