We have tomatoes!!! We potted a cherry tomato plant about five weeks ago and we finally have fruit! I'll be curious to see if the pumpkin that the squirrels planted for us results in anything...

Look at him, he's beautiful.

I went offline for a bit and came back to find that everything is still terrible. So here's this absolute unit of a hippo named Happy that I saw earlier today.

Q&A not just with Denis Villenueve, but also Timothee Chalamet (hosted by Brittany Broski). We also saw the first 7 minutes of the movie, which looks phenomenal. Really looking forward to this.

Live Q&A with director Denis Villeneuve and actor Timotheé Chalamet, who were in Burbank, CA.

Taking a half day to do this. New trailer, exclusive footage, and Q&A with the director.

Ugh.

This is our only decoration for tomorrow's holiday.

Poster reading "No kings since 1776," written in calligraphy to resemble a modified colonial American script. Next to the word "no" is a three-pronged crown worth a red X through it.

Post a robot that is not from Star Wars or Transformers. (I love that the Interrodroid from The Middleman went on to star on the poster for a Best Picture winner. ILU, Interrodroid!)

An alternate poster for the movie Argo, starring John Goodman. He's seated at a table next to the most adorable robot, who has a round silver head and big cyan LED eyes.

My sister found this at her local Michael's today. She was going to do this herself, but someone beat her to it.

Tonight my daughter's class had their 8th grade promotion ceremony. My little girl is a high school freshman now. Dang.

A class of eighth graders in blue graduation gowns sit on chairs on a gymnasium floor, waiting to be promoted to high school. Friends and family sit on bleachers to either side, watching the ceremony.

So it turns out the quote was about the Clone Wars cartoon, but I stand by it nonetheless. And here's proof of my bag.

Chicagoans remember. Art by @harebrained.bsky.social

Art print by @harebrained.bsky.social labeled Chicago Boat Tours. An open deck tour boat passing under a bridge. The boat is covered in raw sewage, as the Dave Matthews Band tour bus is above it on the bridge and has dumped its toilet tank. This actually happened August 8, 2004

I saw this person's sign while marching and thanked them for including ALL the names of ICE's victims, not just the white people. Their response: "I just hate that I almost ran out of space. "

A cardboard sign reading "We remember" at the top and "We demand justice" in the middle. The names of 20 people surround this, all people who were killed by ICE.

Luis, Silverio, Royal, Parady, Keith, Geraldo, Renee, Pete, Heber, Nenko, Alex, Victor, Fouad, Francisco, Delvin, Jean, Luis, Shiraz, Ruben, Emmanuel

Some of the signs I enjoyed today.

A sign with Oompa Loompas, but their faces are replaced with Trump's face. It treads "Trumpa lumpa dumping dee / This is the face of autocracy"

A cardboard guillotine with "I am le tired!" written on it.

A sign with Captain America, reading "I should be at C2E2 but I've got work to do here." C2E2 is the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo.

A man dressed as a Blues Brother, standing in Daley Plaza with a sign reading "Trump is not on a mission from God!"

Did the #NoKings march in Chicago with my daughter and @stephaleen.bsky.social today. Absolutely fantastic to see (and hear) so many people who want an end to this autocracy/kakistocracy "running" this country. The regime should be scared -because the people are not.

Just a sample of the crowd at Butler Field in Chicago for the No Kings rally.

The view of the crowd marching north on Federal during the NoKings protest in Chicago.

The same view, but looking south on Federal.

My son is watching The Nightmare Before Christmas AGAIN, as if there's any doubt he's my son. Hey, there's a reference to St Patrick's Day in there! It's on theme!

The St Patrick's Day tree from Nightmare Before Christmas. Its a tree with a green 4-leaf clover shaped door carved in the trunk, and two toadstools underneath to use as steps to access the door/portal.

All hail Mr Ping!

Mr Ping, and anthropomorphic goose from the animated film "Kung Fu Panda." He wears a red hat and is making a heart with the tips of his wings, which he holds up in front of him. Mr Ping is voiced by legendary actor James Hong.

I am so, so sad to hear the amazing Catherine O'Hara is gone. I'd watch her on SCTV when I was a kid, not getting most of the jokes. And then there was Beetlejuice, and both my beloved Sally and Shock in NBX. And then Moira Rose. Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman... Pure genius.

Saw this a while ago and it makes me laugh. I figured someone else might get a smile from it.

3 images of Zack Efron from his High School Musical days, smiling and shrugging his shoulders. Large bold text at the top reads "What radicalized you?" Next to each photo is text reading "Idk, I'm not a piece of shit," "My parents told me to 'treat others as you'd like to be treated.' Shit stuck with me, I guess," and "I have empathy towards other people..."

I shared with my daughter what is probably my favorite painting in the whole museum, Reganeschi's Saturday Night by John Sloan, 1912, oil on canvas. It depicts women socializing without men or chaperones, out having fun once societal rules changed and they could just be free in public together.

A painting of a busy restaurant. Three women in turn of the century clothes and large hats sit together at a table with a white tablecloth and cane back chairs. They drink with pinky fingers raised, feet hooked around chair legs, and obvious glee, all signs that they are not high society ladies, but they're having a great time together all the same.

Mideval art with offputting versions of Jesus (baby or adult) make me laugh til I cry. I have no idea who made any of these paintings, as I had to haul ass out of the gallery from giggling so hard.

This Jesus is going to sashay away ... to Heaven!

The proportions of Jesus's torso are that of a baby, but his hairline says he has a 401(k).

Come for the man-faced cherubs, stay for creepy baby Jesus!

What has happened to his head? Did they dip it in glue and roll him in hay from the manger?

Apparently, I like landscapes, especially if they're rocky.

The Valley of Les Puits-Noir, Gustave Courbet, 1868. Oil on canvas.

Pergola with Oranges, Thomas Fearnley, 1834. Oil on paper.

Italian Landscape, probably Heinrich Reinhold, 1821-1824? Oil on paper.

The Eruption of Vesuvius, Pierre-Jacques Volaire, 1778. Oil on canvas.

More of the showdown!

4. Friar Pedro now has the upper hand! He's pulled the gun from El Maragato, who now lays on the ground while the friar stands above, the muzzle of the rifle in his hands.

5. The bandit tries to escape, but Friar Pedro is fed up with this crap and shoots El Maragto in his yellow pants-clad leg. (A horse scampers away in the background.)

6. Blood pools under El Maragato's butt as he sits on the ground. Friar Pedro kneels next to him, tying the bandit's hands behind his back. To the side, a group of men with weapons crest a hill, coming to arrest El Maragato after the friars takedown.

First, I found this series of six paintings by Francisco de Goya portraying the story of a friar who took on a famous bandit. So many people just walked right by, didnt even look! The DRAMA people were missing!

1. Famous criminal El Maragato stealing from people. The bandit wields a gun towards a dejected man, who hangs his head. In the background are scared people in a room (I assume the hostages).

2. El Maragato comes after Friar Pedro del Salvidia. He points his gun at the Friars, who doesn't look too happy about it. El Maragato doesn't know what he's in for.

3. Friar Pedro wrestles the gun from El Maragato! Whatever plunder the bandit had, it's now on the ground, lost in the tussle.
