Try convincing the people who made this meme of that lol

Meme with a man and woman in bed, each saying "I consent", and then Jesus to the right of them, saying, "I don't!" Below, it says, "Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"

Whale Dance, https://ptvermont.org/whale-dance/ Did I overdo it with the silhouette and highlight diffusion filter? 📍 Randolph, Vermont, US #GrainSocial https://grain.social/profile/did:plc:z6sonfx6nicq2ndrixghcolb/gallery/3msdmio53tf2t

Sculpture of two whale tails emerging from the green grass. Heavily backlit by the sun, sky blown out, trees and mountains in the distance.

My spouse and I met Amanda Janoo yesterday. She is SMART, and she CARES about the community. Definitely would make a good governor. But don't take my word for it. Vermonters, go to one of her events.

Amanda Janoo speaking to community members at the West Windsor Town Hall.

The room has a hardwood floor, large arched windows, and wooden chairs along the wall with people seated in them, paying attention.

The event was state rep Elizabeth Burrows' "sock hop", so there is a person dressed as a soda jerk behind a table in the corner who served Shirley Temples and other soda concoctions.

Sorry Canada, the great lakes are entirely ours now.

Screenshot of Encyclopedia Britannica's slop game, "The Loop", where the great lakes are shifted south by southwest, so the bottom of lake Michigan is somewhere around Missouri, lake Erie is partially in Kentucky, etc. They helpfully put a red circle around their error.

Ok, but this bit is funny. "It's a huge problem...they couldn't name a single obscure wide receiver from the early 2000s." That's some @theonion.com writing.

Florida Republican congressional candidate Dan Weldon questioned Talarico's masculinity by questioning his football knowledge: "It's a huge problem for the Democrat Party that you take one look at the men they run for elected office and just know that they couldn't name a single obscure wide receiver from the early 2000s."

Some impromptu trail maintenance #GrainSocial https://grain.social/profile/did:plc:z6sonfx6nicq2ndrixghcolb/gallery/3mmi75db7sc2o

A fallen pine tree blocking a forest path. Many branches have been broken off.

The same path, but cleared of the obstruction.

The hardcore racists wouldn't have gotten all the day-sailor racists and useful idiots to trot out that phrase if it didn't have a veneer of truth when completely devoid of context. Reminds me of this little interchange:

Wild. The person is acting like a secretary on behalf of their AI agent, which they personified. They noticed on some level that this is a little weird, so they're making excuses, again, on behalf of their AI agent.

I really need more people to get their peanut butter from the grinder in the bulk section. There is none better. You can see the peanuts. No additions. Smooth or crunchy? Irrelevant.

Commercial grade peanut butter grinding machine, which many grocery stores have.

Looks like the atmosphere has its work cut out for it, lol @leaflet.pub @pckt.blog

DuckDuckGo search of "pckt vs leaflet" the search result AI assist widget says:

"PCKT and Leaflet are both brands of vaporizer devices, but they differ in design and features. PCKT devices, like the PCKT Two and VRTCL, are known for their high capacity batteries and adjustable power settings, while Leaflet vaporizers may focus on portability and ease of use."

A Pyromaniac's Love Story. Fun premise. Had a young Leguizamo. Not sure if it aged well or was even good, but I liked it when it came out. It was in that period when everything oozed with sappy nostalgia ala Cinema Paradiso, A Walk in the Clouds, It Could Happen to You, etc. Give me the sap.

Screenshot of Facebook post sharing an image with a text quote.

Facebook User: The Greta Effect
User subtitle: GreenWink Do

Post text: The fossil fuel business will do anything to satisfy the financial greed of their shareholders. That is why we see so many man-made climate change denier-messages in posts and comments on social media.

Shared image text: When I started writing about the climate crisis in the 1989s I was in my twenties, and I didn't fully comprehend that there could be a force on this planet so steeped in greed and power that it would sacrifice the earth and its inhabitants for its own narrow interests. But there is, and it's big oil.
- Sanders Institute Fellow Bill McKibben

Below the quote, there is an older middle aged white man wearing glasses and a blue collared shirt speaking in front of an image of an oil refinery.

At the bottom, there is a blue footer that says: The Sanders Institute

Did some impromptu trail maintenance at Storr's Hill today. There were two small to medium sized trees in the path. Not sure why the lighting is so different with the before & after.
