A confluence of terrible modern realities in one headline

Had to put a dog down today. Came home and made a pineapple upside down cake for my emotions.

At the emergency vet, we went straight to the oxygen kennel and we are not trilled to be in the bubble.

Sunday shots.

She was really cooking with this one.

Skimming through the signatories on this Stanford Digital Economy Lab letter demanding somebody do something about changes to labor brought about by AI (including a questionable at best claim that AI could have a bigger impact than the Industrial Revolution) and I’m not sure about this signatory.

Optometrist’s office/glasses shop is decorated mostly with Gundam models?

The temple worked with a restorationist to remove the green rings around Shinran Shōnin in time for Hatsubon. Bon Odori is next week, so it’s all nice and clean for the countless people that will be here.

Timeline cleanse. My lily has emerged.

My water lily is emerging.

Gonna pass, thanks. BTW, I own two different translations of this and the BDK version is 26 pages long. It’s so short they crammed Rennyo’s letters in the same volume.

Kids gotta learn about it at some point.

Wild light tonight over the town.

The algorithmic feed of suggested posts on Threads is amazing, just one insane post after another. This is one of the first things I saw yesterday after opening the app.

A rabbi and his family in Bellevue were lucky to escape a fire, and the comments on the KIRO7 FB post about it were what you’d expect from the current antisemitic atmosphere.

Hallelujah

Sorry I missed this. Despite saying SEATTLE, WA, it took place in Kirkland, which is not Seattle, and they completely missed the opportunity to call it KIRKland on this ad.

Summer is over.

Gotta try it a fourth time just to make sure.

I pulled off of 183 to take a photo of this stupid sign and business name, and while I was in the parking lot a crew pulled up and started taking the sign down.

Also found my dad’s record in the Texas section, which was amusing.

The one fun thing in Austin I did was go to Antone’s Records and I remembered to check the Yardbirds section to see if this piece of shit album was there so I could get this photo. 20 hits on a single LP? How is that possible, you ask? Most of the songs fade out after a minute forty.

Critical support to this air freight company founded in the ‘90s that has probably had to field some questions over the last 10 years.

Proximity to Mexico means I get to see a BYD for the first time in the hotel parking lot.

I assume this is hers. Normal thing to bring to a reunion.

A hotel room with a view (of a strip mall roof). Look at all those beautiful RTUs.

The mighty Columbia, also deadly.
