This is some bullshit, Microsoft.

With alt text because I love a good correction

Correction, April 30th: Crenshaw lost his right eye, not his legs, as this story initially misstated in one instance. An earlier version of this article also misstated the home state of Rep. Don Bacon. It is Nebraska, not lowa. It also stated that Crenshaw was 36 years old at the time the 2019 Time 10 Next list was published. He was 35. It also stated that he described Jesse Watters as "the type of dude who sits peeing down." The correct quote was "pees sitting down." It also stated that Harriet Hageman beat Liz Cheney by 30 points in the 2022 Wyoming primary. At the time Cheney conceded the race, Hageman's lead was more than 30 points.

omg thank you for this. I love my fish.

Many small poorly drawn fish of different colors swimming against a white background. Near the top there is an smiling orange fish with little glow lines coming off of it. It is my fish. It is the best fish.

I love that there's just some random person walking by with a grocery bag in the background, probably wondering if they should have taken a different route

Y'all. I got sidetracked by Chapter 55. “But though this sculpture is half man and half whale, so as only to give the tail of the latter…” Sir, that's a mermaid(man). “Though universally denominated a dolphin, I nevertheless call this a whale.” Not everything is a 🐋, Ish!

Chapter 55 Con’t
Though it has been oft proclaimed–nay, insisted upon by sundry observers of no mean understanding–that this canvas depicts none other than an anglerfish, I must demur. The painter, a scholar whose erudition in matters concerning Neptune’s azure domain cannot be questioned without sullying the magnificence of Aletheia herself, was assuredly aware of the existence of that noblest of fishes, the whale. Consider, then, that this must be a painting of a whale. I am compelled, however, by the essential uprightness that animates the souls of whalers, to provide an account of the lamentable errors the artist committed in his anatomical rendering; errors which I shall now enumerate:

I. THE MOUTH: Wherein we shall encounter peculiarities…

I love how clearly this conveys what Steelkit said without putting the actual words on the page. 🐋

Emboldened by this, the Captain reiterated his demand to the rest, but Steelkilt shouted up to him a terrific hint to stop his babbling and betake himself where he belonged.

Ishmael might be the maddest anyone has ever been about qualia 🐋 This is all John Locke's fault.

And when we consider that other theory of the natural philosophers, that all other earthly hues every stately or lovely emblazoning the sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; yea, and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of young girls; all these are but subtile deceits, not actually inherent in substances, but only laid on from without; so that all deified Nature absolutely paints like the harlot, whose allurements cover nothing but the charnel-house within; and when we proceed further, and consider that the mystical cosmetic which produces every one of her hues, the great principle of light, for ever remains white or colourless in itself, and if operating without medium upon matter, would touch all objects, even tulips and roses, with its own blank tinge pondering all this, the palsied universe lies before us a leper...

The post right before this in my timeline

@sickoscommittee posts slammin' strawberry refuses to go to mouth heaven accompanied by a picture of the slammin' strawberry pop tart mascot jumping off of the giant toaster.
@hulcricket quote posts and says me, attempting to explain this picture to @gendercrook.bsky. social: "so you see the pops tart are going to mouth heaven, yes 'mouth heaven', no did not make that up those words come directly from the pop tart company, which is the title sponsor of this football game, anyway that one is escaping"

Today's jellies are a christmas present from friends (one of whom is lurking on here 👋)

A mouse pad. The background is dark blue and it's covered in different kinds of jellyfish in several colors.

I think my dad may have discovered YouTube this morning

A series of four emails from my father sent this morning at 8:41, 8:46, 8:52 and 9:00 rating joke air safety videos from British Airways, Virgin America, United, and Air New Zealand. (He says the Air New Zealand one is the best.)

Awesome! 💙 It's really easy. When you add a photo to a post you should see a little option in the upper left corner of the image that says "+Alt" Click on that and type a short description.

Got two important things crossed off the to-do list this afternoon: (1) Filed my paperwork at the post office to get a new passport and (2) bought onigiri.
