Porque no los dos?

BEAT THAT YOU LITTLE TROUTSNIFFER. A still from Home Alone 2 where Kevin's solo in the school Christmas Pageant is being ruined by Buzz ... drumming with two electric candles. Buzz is holding the candles behind Kevin and Kevin is oblivious to the prank or why people are laughing during his otherwise touching solo performance. Actually now that I think about it, this is really messed up that Buzz wasn't insta-punished and instead the parents made them both apologize for equal fault.

#photography North of Reading, PA on the closed Shore Drive Bridge (locals call it Graffiti Bridge) over Ontelaunee Lake with a perfect message for this week.

A barrier with graffiti blocking a bridge that is completely covered with graffiti (road, bridge walls, etc). The bridge is overtaken by trees as it crosses the edge of a lake. The barrier in the foreground says "F*CK lCE" among other things. It is near sunset with a cloudy sky in the background and a warm hazy summer day. In the far distance some people are fishing off the bridge.

📷 a glorious sunset 🤩 ... behind a not-so-glorious suburban parking lot

A beautiful sunset with beams of sunshine radiating from the setting sun, illuminating the sky in glorious rays behind clouds. In the foreground, a depressing parking lot.

OKAY LADIES NOW LETS GET IN FORMATION.

A line of Canadian geese walking in the drive-thru lane of a CVS pharmacy. It is near dusk and there is no one else around except for these geese.

And to add to the above comments, some cars like the Kia EV#s and Hyundai Ioniq#s have a "UTILITY MODE" you can turn on so the car is basically off, but the EV battery is energized and directed to power the V2L load.

Screen snip of a YouTube video showing the Utility Mode of a Kia EV6. It says "use the high-voltage battery to power electronic devices connected to the vehicle. Audio, lights, etc can be used when parked for a long time or for camping. To deactivate utility mode, press the start button".

📷 Good morning, Philly 🥰

A beautiful, colorful sunrise glowing over the Philly skyline. The Schuylkill River reflects the palette of orange hues, viewed from I76W just before the South St exit. The skyscrapers are still lit up but illuminated by the sunrise glow.

📷 #Epcot Flower & Garden Festival has some stunning colors and beauty. 🤩 *not pictured: all the delicious festival drinky drinks and foody foods too.

Just cause the sky is sleeping doesn't mean it can't have nightmares. (📷 for @mamafirefly.bsky.social)

Picture of a lightning bolt illuminating the nighttime sky over the Epcot ball outside of Disney World. The bolt zigs and zags across the sky like a snake of plasma, ending in a thick bolt of lightning connecting to the ground behind a tower in the distance. In the foreground is a lake and the Boardwalk hotel illuminated and peaceful against the backdrop of electrical horror.

📷 stunning sunset at Epcot in Disneyworld 🤩

Picture of a sunset reflected in the water. There are brilliant hues of orange, red, yellow, blue, and purple illuminating the clouds. In the foreground is a building on the water with palm trees.

Haaaiiiii Denver!

Picture of the Denver skyline with the Sculpture Park in the foreground, with "The Dancers" in front of the camera. It is a clearskied, beautiful spring day.

I was just there in January at the Italian Market location and the place continues to sllllllllap. It's a Top 5 restaurant for me in Center City.

Photo of the Arista sandwich - roast suckling pig, sharp prov, long hots, broccoli rabe. Photo is silent but at the time of photo, animal noises were being made in anticipation of eating this sandwich.

Me too sometimes, Royal Farms inflatable chicken. Me too.

The Royal Farms chicken, as an inflatable huge mascot, laying partially deflated on the ground in front of the road sign. He is looking up into the night sky, wondering how he got here.

I miss it, it was such a beautiful venue. 🥺

Picture of the inside of the Troc from Apr 15 2018 where Ty Segall was playing. The stage is basked in blue and green lights, contrasting the Troc's ornate above-stage beauty washed in red.

I would also absolutely ignore this node. Meshing on LongFast is a privilege that the wider mesh can revoke if abused.

You can say many things about my city but you can't say it's an ugly city. 😍

Picture of the Philadelphia skyline from high up above. It is a partly cloudy, beautiful summer day. Most of the city's skyscrapers are visible.

View of the north side of Philadelphia City Hall looking South from Broad Street. It is a picture taken while crossing the street, with tall buildings on either side. It is a beautiful summer day.

@meganpiont.bsky.social I printed a set using "two per page" and now they're tiny and wallet sized! Used waterproof paper too for a rainy-day fascism. Can't thank you enough for making these, they're perfect!

Picture of the HOW TO REPORT ICE AND HELP KEEP OUR NEIGHBORS SAFE zine, printed and tiny and in my hand

SAME. And I'm due for some re-teaching so I got the boxed set a couple of weeks ago!

Tomorrow's forecasted #CanadianWildfire smoke to the entire state of Delaware: "Fuck you in particular" gispub.epa.gov/airnow/?tab=...

Map of forecasted wildfire air quality (impacted by Canadian wildfire smoke) for tomorrow 8/6/2025. Most of the non-NY mid-atlantic is yellow but an outline of almost exactly the shape of Delaware is orange.

Two image collage.

First image is a box that says "Picnic Bear. It drinks" in 1950s-ish font and drawing style showing a cartoon panda bear at a picnic. It looks cute.

Second image is what's actually inside the box and it's a harrowing, dead-eyed stuffed panda staring into the middle distance while pouring itself what I can only assume to be the hardest liquor into a paper cup. This bear has been through the wringer and barely made it out the other side. This bear has seen ALL the shit.

Ahhhh I understand the confusion. This one is actually a Franksy.

IASIP meme of Frank Reynolds saying "So anyway, I started blasting" except it says "scribbling"

Can confirm it's roughly here! It's under the pedestrian bridge across from Bainbridge St. Zoomed out picture below.

Picture of the same thing but zoomed out.

Byeeee Minneapolis, you were fun! 👋

A photo of Minneapolis's skyline at sunset. Viewed from a rooftop with the letters HEWING HOTEL in front of the skyline.

Looking at my #av1 #encoding log for a SVT-AV1-PSY encode (loving v2.3.0-B ❤️) and I noticed that the spy-rd flag isn't a 0 or 1 ... but a "oui". Love the little easter egg, @giannirosato.com 🤣

Me after watching this week's episode of #Severance

The classic SNL meme of Bill Hader saying "Well, make me down as scared AND horny".

Alpaca_Whacka@alpacawhacka· Feb 13

Yeah, but have you tried listening to Swedish Death Metal about it?

A window snip showing Foobar2000 playing a bunch of Opeth's albums. The current song playing is "Deliverance" from 2002, from the album of the same name. It is a metal masterpiece.

Me in Microsoft Teams when I mean to click unmute but accidentally click the camera button next to it and the whole meeting sees me flash on screen in a compromising and embarrassing state while silently scrambling to turn the camera off again. #sqrlpix

A squirrel sitting on firewood in a bucket. He is scratching himself vigorously and unabashedly while I photograph him. His locked eye contact during this event dares, DARES me to interrupt him.

"I hope this email finds you well." ... how your email found me:

A picture of a black lab/pit mix laying on its back staring awkwardly up at the camera. Her eyes gaze numbly into the abyss.

Alpaca_Whacka@alpacawhacka· Feb 1

That same look over here when I get off the couch to mosey on up to bed. Her disappointment... is immeasurable.
