This Brandon Bird painting brings me delight every time I walk past it (and it's made even better by the fact that I got it framed at a shop a block away from a decommissioned Winchell's). Buy yourself or someone you love some delight!
A small square print of an abstract oil painting of a scene from STAR TREK IV of the Enterprise crew crossing a street in San Francisco. The print is in a butter-yellow mat that matches the smeary Winchell's Donuts sign in the scene and is surrounded by a black frame.

Can someone spot me $19.25 million
A sandstone clocktower with a wide deck and a dozen-ish gargoyles perched on the railings, lit like it's early sunrise. The headline from CNBC reads "This New York City apartment inside a historic clocktower is selling for $19.25 million--take a look inside" The gargoyle Goliath, from the 1990s cartoon GARGOYLES, swoops toward the viewer from his home in the clocktower. According to the giant clock, it's about 8:38 PM. Brooklyn (the gargoyle, not the borough) is just visible behind him.

Hands down.

Seattle showed up today. The monorail operators kept honking for us!

With a lack of awareness that is hard to fully comprehend, the Cybertruck in my neighborhood that is constantly being spat on or egged is now also sporting this sticker on its bumper

A beautiful, highly accurate turn of phrase that will also make a serviceable title for someone's dissertation about the first six months of the second Trump administration in ten years, assuming higher ed still exists
If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation, at least not without devoting the bulk of his fortune to easing the misery he's engendered. Musk's sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character -- a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a *deadly incuriosity* [emphasis from the poster]. This should shape how he's seen for the rest of his public life.
