Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

She’s hiding in the clouds this morning. Mt. Hood. Portland Oregon. Have a beautiful day. 🩵

Mt. Hood. Dark landscape and trees. Snow and cloud covered mountain top, with thin white clouds lifting upward, pale blue-gray sky with two bands of illuminated white clouds above.

I am so weary of that class of extremely online leftists who think being a Serious Person™️ who only posts and does nothing else is superior to being a Fun Person™️ who physically shows up

Aaron Putnam @aaronputnam.bsky.social · 20h

I deleted a post of me in a frog suit with my 7-yr old daughter because a big account reposted, admonishing us for not being serious enough protestors (or something). I shouldn’t have included my daughter in the image, which was why I deleted it. But I was stunned by the condescension.

Today my Bird of the Day is the jaunty crow. This one was proudly strutting with its prize scrap of bread. #itsabird 🪶

A crow on a bike path mid step facing away from me. A small scrap of food hanging from its beak. If there’s one thing I like more than corvids, it’s jaunty corvids.

Tag yourself. I am fatuous pauper.

Work, Work, Work

On about this date in 1801, Britain's first census was begun. In a subsequent survey conducted in 1881, residents were asked to furnish their "rank, profession, or occupation." Some of the more puzzling responses, as preserved by the London Genealogical Society, included:

Colourist of artificial fish

Knight of the Thimble

Disinfector of railways

Examiner of underclothing

Invisible net maker

Electric bath attendant

Proprietor of midgets

Fifty-two years an imbecile

Knocker-up of workpeople

Maker of sand views

Gymnast to house painter

Turnip shepherd

Emasculator

Sampler of drugs

Fatuous pauper

Drowner

Count as female

Fish-bender

Goldfish-catcher

Cow-banger

Running about

Grape-dryer

Beef twister

Random waller

Monday again, is it?

Lisa Simpson looking tired and pessimistic as she sits with a textbook.

While I do have things to be getting on with, I'm lacking structure and starting them is hard. Also, I have to go to the dentist today (really could do with those invoices being paid to me, lads...)

Here are the remnants of a massive star that ignited in 1054. Ancient astronomers marveled at how they could see the supernova even during the day. All that's left today is the faint, colorful smudge called the Crab Nebula.

Jane and Tarzan helping with the blanket for linens day

Tarzan seems like he’s feeling better from the bath and soak.

His fur is so soft from being conditioned. Plus Epsom really does a body good.

Jane is happy to hang out with her sweetheart

My cats Jane The Magnificent and Tarzan the Maine Coon, lounging on a red plush blanket in an orange room. A large abstract painting of a singular, angular gold ring with a red and orange background is on the wall behind them. Jane is a silver grey tortoiseshell tabby and Tarzan is a large extra superfloof grey & white tuxedo cat. They’re both old kitties and very deeply bonded.

Welcome back to the 'don't look now but the sky's doing weird shit' part of the year

The aurora borealis (northern lights) as two distinctive shapes over a mountain. One purple spike into a more diffuse green wave. Both very clear and strong.

Also of note is this single-second exposure. When the lights are bright enough to shoot that fast, you get to see how complex and delicate Lady Aurora's ball gowns really are.

(All of these are processed in Snapseed directly from the jpeg because I am horribly sleepy deprived after last night 😂)

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.
