I've never seen a docketed PDF that includes sticky notes before. Seems like this may have been a draft copy that got filed without removing all of the notes first.
A screenshot from page 7 of the PDF, showing a yellow sticky note with the words "Lin, Jean (CIV) Rule 64 does not permit a second extension." over top of the underlying document. The word "They", in the sentence "They describe this position in more detail below.", is what triggers the sticky note.

One of my sudoku variant puzzles has been featured on BremSter's channel on YouTube! He had a lot of fun solving, and had many nice things to say about the puzzle.

Ghosts have been spotted roaming the halls of Pac Manor. Can you help them move on?

Photo taken at Aquário de São Paulo, the São Paulo Aquarium, in Brazil, on November 16, 2021. Somehow, I survived.

Peter Griffin, wearing a fez, is sitting in a car wearing a seat belt. A police officer, who is only visible from his left forearm to the hand, is holding a color palette with instructions. The lightest color is connected to "Let them play", while the five darker shades are all connected to "Off to CECOT".

Looks perfectly innocuous to me.

On-screen text is usually translated in subtitles if it's important (like that headline in a newspaper that foreshadows an upcoming complication). I've only seen text translated diegetically in some modern Disney movies, such as Zootopia. Here're Brazilian and US screenshots of the same scene.
A screenshot from the Portuguese version of Zootopia. A banner above a stage says "Show de Talentos 🥕 Dia Das Cenouras" ("Talent Show 🥕 Carrots Day"). A screenshot from the US version of Zootopia. A banner above a stage says "Carrot Days 🥕 Talent Show".

Here's a (cropped) screenshot of that scene from Disney+ Brasil. The show the original English text, with captions above the text because the English text is so low on the screen.
A screenshot from Doctor Who's "The Well". The Doctor has a floating text window in front of him, which says "And now I am talking to that thing behind", trailing off because he hasn't said the rest of his sentence yet. Above the picture is the Portuguese translation, "E agora estou falando com essa coisa atrás de Aliss Fenly".

Judge Gee throwing some major shade at the government here.
Footnote 1, which reads "The Court has summarized the background of this case on multiple occasions throughout this litigation, and the Parties should be familiar with the background. Because Defendants’ papers reflect a certain degree of amnesia about past events, however, the Court reiterates the factual and procedural background that is the most relevant to the current motions."

It used to be the same size, then it got bigger, then it got smaller. (Images from 1964, 1984, and 1994.)
Jeopardy! logo from 1964, showing capital letters in various subscript and superscript locations. The exclamation point at the end is approximately the same size as the letters. Jeopardy! logo from 1984, showing capital letters and an exclamation point whose line is the same height as the letters, but which is raised to fit the dot underneath it. Jeopardy! 10th anniversary logo from 1994. The main portion of the logo shows capital letters, with the exclamation point in a somewhat raised position. Its top is consistent with the tops of the letters, but there is space for a second dot beneath the dot that's present. Below the title is the word "Anniversary" in all caps, in black text on a yellow background bar. Behind both is an elongated red "10", in front of a blue stripy triangle with a yellow border, in front of a circle in various shades of blue.

A short while after reading that, I got this ad on Facebook. I guess testicle law is a real thing, and a thing that's associated with my cell phone's ad profile now.

I think this has always happened in the past year, which gives a baseline of 12 for everybody.
A section of the chart showing stress levels caused by particular events. In relevant part, "Christmas approaching" is highlighted, as it gives 19 points. Under the directions, the test notes, "If an event mentioned above has occurred in the past year, or is expected in the near future, copy the number in the score column."

My current window's tab bar. Just the current window.
A browser tab bar showing 57 tabs. Among the more recognizable icons are Facebook (two tabs) and BlueSky (nine tabs, plus the currently-seleted one), plus an assortment of other tabs, many with similar icons to one another.

Is it just me who's bothered by the off-centeredness of the pie slice?
A "pie" chart demonstrating that the slice defined in the original doesn't line up in any way with the vertical axis, nor does the slice end in the center.

It looks like that is a German pasta brand name. I wonder if it has become genericized (like "dumpster" or "frisbee") to refer to non-branded spaghetti?

Denver Sweet.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Denver Sweet to Close Its Doors After Over Six Years Serving the Community Denver, CO — July 21, 2025— After more than six incredible years as one of Denver’s favorite inclusive establishments, Denver Sweet located at 776 Lincoln Street, Denver will be closing its doors for good on Sunday, July 27th. This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, but we believe the time has come. Creating and running Denver Sweet has been a dream come true for us — and saying goodbye is heartbreaking. From the very beginning, our goal was to build a space that welcomed everyone, celebrated diversity, and give the LGBTQ+ community and allies a place to gather, connect, and thrive. Like many small businesses, we have faced serious challenges over the past few years. Business has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and over the last two years, we’ve seen a significant decline in traffic. Changing customer habits, tough economic conditions, and increased operational costs have made it increasingly difficult to sustain the business. One of the most significant impacts to our bottom line has been the rising cost of labor, particularly from living wage laws in both Colorado and Denver. We’ve done everything we could to push forward — including personally funding operations — but the current climate simply isn't viable for us anymore. To our incredible team members, loyal customers, friends, and supporters: thank you for an amazing six years. You helped make Denver Sweet more than a bar — you made it a community. We invite everyone to come out this week to celebrate with us — to toast to the future, share memories, and say goodbye in true Denver Sweet style. Cheers, and BE SWEET. For press or media inquiries, please contact: Email: info@denversweet.com
