Trying to remember when my grandparents passed (late 90s) had me doing some googling and came up with this little gem from the Zumbrota News-Record. They did a trivia contest in 2024 and my grandma was an answer in the second round.
A clip of an online newspaper. The pertinent text is Question 5. Who picketed the Zumbrota Liquor Store in the mid-1970s? Alice Nelson

If you see this, we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation.
The console screen on a Ford Cmax. The Audio portion (in the lower left) reads "You Make Loving Fu" which lasts for 2 minutes and 35 seconds. The lower right shows that it is 71 degrees Fahrenheit. The upper right shows that the car is on CR-25/Country Road (then is cut off by the border of the photo). The upper left has a screen button with which you could Connect a Phone.

Where are we as a society where someone hasn't scanned this and the museum that has it (the LACMA) isn't selling 3D printed replicas in their gift shop?

And it isn't even currently on display? MADNESS. Unless it's for one of those art preservation reasons, then fine...I guess...

Obligatory post-snowblow picture of the driveway. I think we got a total of about 9", but who knows with prairie winds. I would have posted one after yesterday, but I was a big silly who left his phone inside.
A snow blown driveway. There are various evergreens and assorted other trees on either side, and you can see a LP tank on the right with a big garage/shed behind that. A path snow blown between some trees that leads to the pole barn/hen house so I don't have to tromp through the deep snow, though right now there's less than a foot, to get there.

Driving (riding) to Thanksgiving in Wisconsin.
A photo taken out the passenger side window on our way to Thanksgiving. You can see a small Minnesota town with less than an inch of snow on the ground. The sky is blue with some puffy clouds. There is a big pine tree on the right with some commercial buildings behind it. On the right side are some houses behind some bare winter snoozing trees and a LP tank. There is also a sidewalk in the foreground. Also because I wasn't paying attention when I took it you can see the reflection of our car in the sideview mirror. It's a black minivan.

I've started to use my blocking strategy on reddit as well has here.

If you're on a wrestling subreddit and you post something so inane that it makes my brain hurt (usually being pro-Lesnar is enough, but today someone said the biggest missed HIAC opportunity was HHH v. Orton)...

My house has a tree!

On a messy wrestling table in a garage there are 5 6-packs of August Schell's Cave-Aged Barrel-Aged Beer. The boxes holding the six packs are black with silver lettering and a gold ribbon across the bottom.

Originally, Kai Opaka was to have been a man who was spiritual leader of the Bajorans and often conflicted with Starfleet's goals. His visitors had to disrobe while he probed their pagh through deep-tissue massage of their feet. This version of the character was written into the first draft of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Bible. (The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, pp. 37-38, 87, 114)

Post your favorite Star Trek character, wrong answers only.

He is also my choice for the next Doctor, ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY.
Also, I was torn between this picture and him as Cat from Red Dwarf. Oh never mind, here's both.
Danny John-Jules in a sparkly bowler cap, purple shirt with a sparkly collar, black tie, and a teal jacket. Danny John-Jules as Cat from Red Dwarf. He's wearing a sparkly purple shirt, a pinky read velvet vest with long fur trim along the lapels, and a small sparkly brooch at his collar. Since he's a cat, he also has pronounced canine teeth. Also diamond stud earrings.

My modest more southern Northern Lights (which are two hours south of @nateroyah.bsky.social ) even though he lives in a area chock full of light pollution.

First time I've ever seen pink though. Obviously it wasn't this vibrant with the naked eye.
A night sky in South Central MN (at around 44 degrees north). The upper part is streaky pink, closer to the horizon it's green. There are telephone poles and lines silhouetted against the sky.

There is nothing that warms my heart more than seeing billionaires throw their money away.

Just a bit of advice, folks would like billionaires a lot more if they took that (does addition) a little more than $22.6 million dollars and fill food banks, fund libraries, or pay their employees.

I had one of those on my arm this afternoon. I felt something moving on my arm, figured it was a blankety blank ladybug, but no, it was this little guy. Again, sorry for the blurry picture, but I wanted to get a picture then take it outside before it escaped.
A hairy forearm with a small spider on it.

One of my ladies has become an escape artist. She can jump up on a tree, then the lower part of the roof, then escape the big run to range
Today she did it while I was cleaning the coop and I was able to get her in the barn.
Second time she went back herself and found some old hay and laid an egg
Inside an old pole barn with steel siding. On the left is an old bale of straw. Next to the straw is an old metal chicken waterer. Behind the waterer in some loose straw is a sneaky hen laying an egg. On the wall to the right is an old garden hose and some sort of garden implement, but I can only see the handle, not the tool, so I don't know what it is, but it's probably a shovel.

After.
A CLEAN chicken coop with wood shavings on the floor. On the right side are nesting boxes. On the left a hanging chicken feeder. There is also a window on the left side wall. There are roosting perches across the back.
