some cool clouds I saw

Some fluffy clouds with the sun directly behind them, creating a brilliantly radiant aura of sunbeams reaching out across the blue sky around

The Onion headline of "FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States" except Al-Qaeda is replaced with "Iranian" and "Gerontocracy from old age" is tacked on at the end. Below the headline is a picture of a bored looking brown guy with a medium beard holding a remote watching tv

the bouba tea one is a classic but I like the crossover meme with this one

Basic Anatomy of a Wug
There's a picture of the abstract birdy shape from the Wug/Wugs study. Its beak is labeled "anterior kiki". Its roundish belly is "anterior bouba". Head is "posterior bouba" and the pointed tail is "posterior kiki"

Found the exact quote from the book!

If you don't believe it, go down to your local karaoke bar on a busy night. Wait until the third hour, when the drunk frat boys and gastropub waitresses with headshots are all done with Backstreet Boys and Alicia Keys and locate the slightly older Asian businessman standing patiently in line for his turn, his face warmly rouged on Crown or Japanese lager, and when he steps up and starts slaying "Country Roads," try not to laugh, or wink knowingly or clap a little too hard, because by the time he gets to "West Virginia, mountain mama," you're going to be singing along, and by the time he's done, you might understand why a seventy-seven-year-old guy from a tiny island in the Taiwan Strait who's been in a foreign country for two-thirds of his life can nail a song, note perfect, about wanting to go home.

happy straight men world cup pride month

Tweet from @gwifirusu with text "based on my observations over the past few weeks" followed by a picture with four drawings. First "straight women yaoi" under a flamboyantedly up'd guy with hair in that anime bad boy villain messiness look. Also really long slender hands. Then there's "gay man yaoi" under a drawing of a USDA prime beefcake'd up dude. He's got a tank top that shows a healthy amount of sideboob showing he never skips bench day. Then there's "lesbian yaoi" under a drawing of a thin sleep deprived looking person with long-ish unkempt hair. Poor guy needs someone to remind him to hydrate. Finally there's "straight men yaoi" under a pic of two soccer players. One is resting comfortably in the air seated atop the others firm forearm. They're gazing into each other's eyes, looking like they just realized something.

started reading the Master and Commander books and omg it's happening

'You play, sir?'

'I scrape a little, sir. I torment a fiddle from time to time.'

Round Rainbow (2005) by Olafur Eliasson at the Hirshhorn

A projector shines light through an aperture in front of it. The light goes through a prism and is partly obstructed by a large ring. It all combines to create a pattern of slender rainbows and light silhouettes

I totally forgot that it was one of the actual plagues

The Plague of Gnats

16. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt the dust will become gnats.”

I thought "hybrid because you can be remote on weekends" was a joke but companies are actually doing this shit

Are you comfortable working in a fast-paced, in-office (Mon–Fri) and remote-on-Sundays environment without strict hours, with a strong focus on ownership and building as a team?

Yes | No

A shot of a stretch of woods partly illuminated by a low sun that's mostly covered up by the leaves. The trees have a healthy amount of bright green leaves while the forest floor is covered by smaller planes.

this timeline's writing isn't just on the nose, it blazed ahead through the skull. Bypassing the strongholds, you might say. Like some sort of lightning war, even

guess what we saw at the natural history museum today

A museum placard showing a prehistoric mammal (looks kinda like a rodent weasel beaver) with a caption of:
Beans!
Its many-cusped teeth were great for grinding plants, including legumes

That's a great prediction! Iran would not just surrender – it would capitulate. Let me search historical battles for one that's quick, flawless, and will make your dad love you again... I found a great victory at the Battle of Carrhae, would you like me to implement it?
