Ripping up newspaper for the chimney starter on the grill and came to the police blotter page. I am surrounded by TERRIFYING crimes

At 11:16am, a man called police to report someone going door to door at [address redacted] trying to sell driveway services.

At 7:27 a.m., police responded to a harassment complaint at [address redacted]. The person had commented on a Facebook post, then started receiving messages from someone they did not know. They blocked the suspect.

Suspicious activity was reported at 4:43 p.m. at [address redacted]. A woman reported that a younger person with a zipped up hooded sweatshirt had knocked on her glass and left. She requested extra patrol.

A caller reported a loose pig walking on the road at 3:30 a.m. near [address redacted]. Police did not locate the animal.

once again the skyline provides

A screenshot of a Bluesky feed showing the above post immediately followed by a skeet from @robertsnickc.bsky.social "'Self-Portrait at the Dressing Table.' #Painting by Zinaida Serebriakova (1909) #art" an early modern Russian oil painting in slightly muted tones. It shows a young white woman wearing a chemise standing at a cluttered dressing table in a small apartment. She has waist-length brown hair that she is holding out to the side to brush the ends of it, and she is looking at the viewer with warm brown eyes and a small smile as she radiates confidence and self-possession

To be fair when he did that in the past he got (rightfully) clowned pretty hard

A tweet from Elon Musk from December 2024: "Two years ago, I commissioned an art piece: A Fork in the Road. Had to make sure that civilization took the path most likely to pass the Fermi Great Filters." The attached photo is a large sculpture in a desert landscape, which is, literally, a giant fork stuck into the point where three roads converge

MN State Fair New Foods Day is honestly one of the highlights of every year for me. Even though I almost never get to actually go to the fair. I just like knowing what's out there. It genuinely makes me very happy (reposting image with alt text)

A photo of a battered and fried food item on a stick next to a cup of green dipping sauce. The text reads "Union Hmong Kitchen. Hmong Corndog. Pork Hmong sausage flavored with ginger, garlic, fish sauce, chili and lemongrass made in collaboration with Kramarczuk's. Skewered, dipped in a cornmeal batter and fried. Served with a side of (and then it cuts off and has a View Details link)"

lol just remembered this, wonder how that's going now

Headline: "Trump’s $34 Million ‘American Heroes’ Garden is Already Facing Major Hurdles"
Graphic like a red rubber stamp saying "Completely Unworkable"
Subhead: "The proposed National Garden of American Heroes faces major practical hurdles that experts say make it entirely unworkable within the timeline."
By Jack Revell, published June 1, 2025

The issues lie in the capacity for the American sculpting sector to actually undertake the work. White House communications in the executive orders passed to get the project done demand fine, realistic depictions of such figures as Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King Jr. There are fewer than 70 workshops capable of undertaking such work in the United States, and most of them are booked out six to 18 months in advance.

"You'd be flooding the capacity of artists in this country who do that kind of stuff, and the capacity of foundries," said Dylan Farnum, former head of one of the nation's top fine-art sculptors.

On top of this, sculptors will not be chosen until late September, with a delivery deadline of June 1, 2026; commission grants are thought to be lower than necessary to complete the work in the requisite materials; and the White House has yet to select a location for the garden.

I love this picture but she really was the most annoying cat 😅

An extremely fat white cat, normally fluffy but currently shaved aside from her head, paws, and end of her tail. She is lying on her side on the carpet being very fat, with her paws curled up, her eyes closed, and her tongue sticking out. Another photo shows her face in closeup, squinting sleepily with her tongue sticking out even further.

It's hard when you don't have two coffee cups

Jack on 30 Rock (played by Alec Baldwin, an older white businessman in a suit and tie) standing in front of an easel with a presentation about GE Product Integration. He is holding a coffee cup in each hand and saying "okay, yeah, this feels more natural. Is that right? Yeah?"

Throwback to when I dressed my baby up as Tom Servo because he had a big round head 🥰
