A digital illustration of Miss Piggy and Kermit from the Muppets based on the painting “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt. The overall painting is various golds and yellows with graphic black rectangles and squares and swirling dark yellow circles nested within each other. There are also lots of little purple, blue, and red flowers covering Kermit’s body.

Pasadena Humane has seen an influx of over 300 animals due to the fires. People lined up down the block to drop off beloved pets they could not take with them when they fled their homes. Some animals arrived with burns and injuries and are being treated. Donations and fosters are needed NOW.

If you subscribe to Microsoft 365 Personal, the 40% price increase is a con to upsell you AI. Your old plan and price is still there called "Classic" - but only if you try to cancel.

Microsoft should be ashamed if not prosecuted.

Time to share this quick air filter solution for wildfire smoke once again. All you need is a box fan and a home air/furnace filter that you can get at pretty much any hardware store. Optional is some duct tape to get a good seal. Stay safe! #LAFires
How To Build A Low Cost Air Filter (From Washington University) What you’ll need to build: box fan, 20x20 furnace filter, and optional duct tape or bungee cords. Step 1: place filter on the back of fan (air intake side) Step 2: Use duct tape or bungee cords to secure the filter Step 3: Place in an area away from obstacles and turn on Step 4: Keep all windows and doors closed to prevent new smoke from getting inside.

I have gone through all 4838 Illinois Flag Commission design submissions that were released to @milesmacclure.bsky.social via FOIA so that you don't have to wade through countless Abe Lincoln silhouettes, bald eagles, and "LAND OF TAXES" grievance flags to find the funny ones. Thread starts here.
A light blue flag with an image of Bluey at its center, carrying a banner that reads State Sovereignty, National Bluey above white text that reads Illinois. The submission description says: Relationship to Illinois I don't have much of a relationship with Illinois, I just always wanted to participate in a state flag design competition. I am trying to think of something that I have related to Illinois, but I don't have anything and I'm not going to lie and say I have family there. Explain the meaning behind your flag The blue-heeler cartoon dog represents the below-average rate of dogs in Illinois and the need for more. It also represents Australia's looming takeover of young America's minds. The blue background represents Illinois's blue sky. The word "Illinois" written in Hello Headline font represents Illinois and the clouds. The scroll has the words "State Sovereignty, National Bluey" written on it, which serves as a tribute to the old flag. A flag comprised of an image of Abraham Lincoln with laser eyes burning a smaller Confederate flag. Its submission description reads: Relationship to Illinois Born and raised in Illinois, lived in the state for 18 years. Explain the meaning behind your flag 16th US President and Illinoisan Abraham Lincoln is a symbol of our great state and his work in quashing The Confederacy in the American Civil War cannot be understated. The background color is meant to evoke that of a Union Army uniform of the period, with the red representing the blood he shed defending our democracy to the bitter end. Lincoln would be proud to fly this beautiful banner commemorating his achievements. A flag featuring Comic Sans text spelling Illinois at a jaunty angle with a drop shadow on a background that transitions from red to yellow to green to gray. The word Illinois is wrapped in a photo of a fish, with small text at the top left that reads "This flag was made in Waukegan, Illinois the 10th largest city in Illinois by population" and small text at the bottom right that reads "Alexi Giannoulias I hope you like my flag design you are our state's knight in shining armor". The submission description reads: Relationship to Illinois I have lived in Illinois my entire life. It is my home and I would die on the cross for her. Explain the meaning behind your flag When I think of my home state, I think of the great City of Waukegan (home of some important folks like Ray Bradbury and Jack Benny), a fish (Lake Michigan), and our lord and savior Secretary Alexi Giannoulias (President Obama's famed "basketball buddy"). I decided to include these three things in my design for the new Illinois flag A combination trans flag / Chicago flag motif with emoji images of the rainbow flag, a rat, and a pair of lesbians in its central white stripe. The submission description reads: Relationship to Illinois Long time resident. Explain the meaning behind your flag Gay rat wedding.

Gonzo's delivery of the single greatest line in film history is made infinitely better once you realise it is an EXACT rendering of Charles Dickens' own emphasis in the original story.
Passage from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: "‘Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world."

Book: “This likeable character does not want to go on a journey or be a hero”

Me, for the 10,000th time: “Oh, then I suppose they won’t.”

Book: “Despite everyone’s desires, our character must go on a journey and become a hero…”

Me: 🤯

they will see
What to Do When Someone Has a Panic Attack • Ask if they've considered that in season 6, episode 4 of the Sopranos, an episode of Gilmore Girls is playing on TV. In S07E17 of Gilmore Girls, Richard is wearing a tracksuit. Lorelai makes a joke about it by implicating a lunch date with Tony Soprano. • Ask if they realize this means that both the Sopranos and Gilmore Girls exist as television shows in the other's universe. When the Gilmore Girls watch the Sopranos, they will see themselves. When Tony Soprano watches Gilmore Girls, he sees himself and his family. • Like two facing mirrors; Gilmore Girls and Sopranos, a recursion, fractal, etc.
