Those cowards. Those fascist losers hiding behind guns and an attack dog. Repugnant cowards.

The amount of narrative packed into this image is staggering.

Screenshot of an online news headline that reads, "Trump Ally Charlie Kirk Suggests Children Should Watch Public Executions." Below the headline we see the words "Published Feb 24, 2024" and below that, "Updated Sept 12, 2025."

This custom F-350 is wide enough to straddle a river and long enough to deliver a payload by simply turning around. This is the Truck Mother. Build a shrine to her, light votive candles and pray that she'll bless your truck to grow into a big, strong, real truck. 🥹

I saw the MOST AMAZING truck. All the best trucks have airbrushed self-portraits on them and this one is no exception. I doubled checked that I wasn't using the wide-angle for the side view--no, she really has that much going on back there. Look how far she exceeds the parking space...

But when I walked by again a few minutes later, it had fully emerged and unfurled its wings. And then it lost its grip on its old carapace and fell on its back. So I helped it up into a tree (their main goal usually seems to be to climb a tree.) I loved the lime green and those transparent wings!

Cicadas, they are so harmless 😂 Slow, clumsy, apparently defenseless, and die if they fall on their back (which they do, frequently.) I saw this one halfway through its molt and thought it had died--it appeared motionless and I wouldn't be surprised if one got caught on its own skin and expired...

Photo of a freshly emerged cicada, holding onto its old carapace while its wings dry.

Anyway here's some guys on the stiff goldenrod (my favorite of the goldenrods) out front. The ladies are so busy with all these flowers lately 🥰

Do you ever take a picture thinking you'll for sure want to post that, but then when you get inside you're like, "I already took the picture... that should count? I don't want to go to the trouble of posting it right now," and so you never post it?
I do that all the time. 😩

Took a bit less time than I thought but still a week's work of work. Got my first #Guns-of-Sotek infantry squad complete! Lizards that took a wrong turn during the End Times and got lost in the 41st millennium :p

I went to a library today to check out the Denver Zine Library (denverzinelibrary.org) and donate some of mine and was reminded how cool libraries are.

Highlight from Fan Expo Denver: @crystalsully.bsky.social is a great local artist who does awesome dragons and dinosaurs for MTG and others. She sold us some of her cards and, for a reasonable fee, did an x-ray draw-over with UV pen so they look normal until...
#MTG #Ixalan #fanexpodenver

A Magic the Gathering card, Scion of Calamity, a is a 5-mana cost 5/5 Dinosaur creature with Myriad and "Whenever Scion of Calamity deals combat damage to a player, destroy target artifact or enchantment that player controls." Featuring art by Crystal Sully of a giant, 3-headed(?) T. rex-like dinosaur tearing apart a ship with their massive jaws.

the Scion of Calamity MTG card with art by Crystal Sully, held at an angle so that the light reflects off the artist's signature and draw-over of an x-ray view showing the dinosaur's skeleton that is not visible in direct light.

It's a really perverse incentive with medicaid, welfare, affordable housing and the like that if you make a *little* more money you might lose ten times that amount by no longer qualifying for access to the benefit. 😫
