Still from Mr. Show skit with Bob and David dressed as 1960s NASA engineers at a press conference. Subtitle reads “AMERICA CAN, SHOULD, MUST, AND WILL BLOW UP THE MOON.”

This definitely tracks. @thisismari.at this is why Meemaw’s house is brown.

A Pantone palette of three greens—Granite Pine, Quiet Eucalyptus, Clean Fern—and one light brown (Cashmere Taupe). The colors relate to Capricorn Sun, Virgo Moon, Virgo Rising, and Capricorn Venus, respectively.

Everything in the world is obviously garbage, but at least this @theonion.com front-page story made me literally LOL when it got to the part about the AI-generated video.

Onion front page with a picture of Trump at a podium and a smaller picture of Snoopy. Text reads:

Trump Ratchets Up Rhetoric Against Snoopy

PRESIDENT ESCALATES WAR OF WORDS AGAINST FICTIONAL DOG

WASHINGTON-In what political analysts have called a "major escalation" in the commander-in-chief's antagonism toward the cultural icon, President Donald Trump made a number of public comments this week dramatically ratcheting up his rhetoric against Snoopy.

At an event honoring Gold Star families Friday, Trump reportedly deviated from his prepared remarks to to criticize the cartoon beagle from Charles M. Schulz's long-running Peanuts comic strip, calling home a “disgusting floppy-eared loser” and “Stupid Snoopy.” The digression followed several similar incidents during meetings with foreign heads of state, as well as a spate of late-night Truth Social posts in which he called Snoopy “an enemy of the people” and shared an Al-generated video that depicted Trump having Snoopy euthanized at a veterinary office.

I just want to wear 1970s hostess dresses and eat fondue. @lindsaygoldwert.bsky.social, you in?

And never forget dude was a fiber artist.

I’m going to finish my novel draft and make more ridiculous pillows like this one:

A black, handmade pillow featuring James Spader as Steff in Pretty in Pink. The best role in the best John Hughes film.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

The cover of Mark Eitzel’s 1991 album Songs of Love Live. It is perfection for anyone who wants to listen to sadcore.

Dax and Squash availed themselves of the wood stove yesterday.

A chonky brown-and-black tabby cat and a grey-and-white tabby permakitten plunk themselves in front of a wood stove with a roaring fire. They are feeling very cozy and are not close enough to burn themselves.

Today in vintage sewing pattern shopping. I will make my own Emotional Support Ernie and Bert. I should not be allowed on eBay.

A vintage McCall's sewing pattern for "Sesame Street Muppets" Bert and Ernie. Doll versions of the best buddies surround a Sesame Street sign.

Are you trying to prevent your brain from leaking out your ears because of…everything? Let me recommend buying 50-year-old Vogue sewing patterns on eBay so you can create badass retro duds.

Two vintage Vogue pattern envelopes , one of a red shirt dress with text, “VOGUE AMERICANA CHUCK HOWARD” and the other featuring sketches of five white women (sigh) wearing a variety of button-up blouses. That one reads, “VOGUE’S BASIC DESIGN.”

I have become a person who makes pillows in her spare time. Interior design is my passion.

A black pillow with a silkscreened still of James Spader as Steff in Pretty in Pink sits upon an egg chair upholstered with orange velvet. It actually goes together because the hues in the photo complement the velvet.

Steff is the best character in the best John Hughes movie. Don’t @ me.

You do not want to see my living room, then.

And I read that as “defense secretary GRONK”

A Dunkin’ ad with Rob Gronkowski contemplating his existence by staring at the two energy drinks in his hands, one blue and one red.

The text “GRONK DRINKS ‘EM” in the classic Dunkin’ font appears above. Gronk is, in fact, not drinking them, just staring.

Dax was madder than I was about me going to the dentist. #adorables

A surly gray and white kitty sits on a bed with a green comforter and striped blanket and gives his mom death stares as she dares to leave the apartment to go to the dentist.

Kitty love stove

A gray-and-white cat lies in front of a wood stove burning. He is in his happy place and is very cozy.

Kitty love stove.

A gray-and-white cat lies on his back, staring up at a wood stove with a cozy fire burning. He is cooking himself.

Everything’s garbage, so here’s Dax on his couch enjoying the wood stove.

A gray and white cat lounges on a comfy, cat-sized couch on the floor and watches the fire in the nearby wood stove. He is very cozy.

Happy 50th anniversary to the first time I was mentioned in print. And happy 50th to the Rotondi bab, who beat me to be the first baby born in town that year. Hope you enjoyed all your fabulous prizes.

Screenshot of a newspaper article that reads “The only other New Year's Day birth reported to the Item was a baby girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Muse, [redacted].

The Muse baby was born at the Melrose-Wakefield at 10:44 pm some 16 hours after the Rotondi baby.”

Hell yeah Team Jøtul!

A sweet but misguided gray and white cat plops himself in front of a burning wood stove, staring at it as if it’s the greatest TV show ever and slowly cooking himself.

They just have to get the key from the manager first.

My cat doesn’t have his own cat, but he does have his own couch (that sits on my couch).

A gray and white cat sits on a brown cat-sized couch that’s atop a green human-sized sofa. Xzibit would be proud about a couch on a couch.

Just shoving a thumb in my academic and familial wounds and watching The Comeback. If you need me, I’ll be crying for who knows what reason: joy, memory, grief, lost potential. You name it.

Again, the aurora borealis makes everything look like a still from a video for a third tier, major label grunge group from the ‘90s.

An oak tree is lit up in front of the purple, pink and blue sky as the northern lights are seen in New York’s Catskills. (It looks like a 1990s music video.)

It was also the subject of my favorite Fortune cover from when I worked there. It’s the closest they got to the old-school style during my tenure.

A 2013 Fortune Magazjne cover that reads “AMERICA’S BIGGEST REAL ESTATE PROJECT …EVER” and features a gold background with a black line drawing of Manhattan and the then in-development Hudson Yards project drawn in white.”

I mean, I’ve been calling myself an elder for YEARS in other contexts.
