A Nephallim from the video game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. It's basically a pale hot dog with arms towering over the player character.

I think my dad may have discovered YouTube this morning
A series of four emails from my father sent this morning at 8:41, 8:46, 8:52 and 9:00 rating joke air safety videos from British Airways, Virgin America, United, and Air New Zealand. (He says the Air New Zealand one is the best.)

Awesome! 💙 It's really easy. When you add a photo to a post you should see a little option in the upper left corner of the image that says "+Alt" Click on that and type a short description.

Got two important things crossed off the to-do list this afternoon: (1) Filed my paperwork at the post office to get a new passport and (2) bought onigiri.
Two triangular onigiri (rice balls) in clear containers. The left onigiri is wrapped in dark seaweed, while the right features a mix of white rice and seaweed. Both containers have a circular label that reads "Okaeri Japanese Cafe and Anime," featuring a daruma doll graphic.

So about that...
Two posts - the first is a screenshot from nextdoor with a neighbor asking if they heard gunshots or fireworks going off. Another neighbor replied that they were shooting their gun at the fireworks. Below that is a post from Nick Brumfield noting that July 4 is the only day he can fire his AK 47 without the neighbors being weird.

DO NOT TEMPT ME DUOLINGO
Screen from Duolingo asking the user to translate a sentence from Japanese into English using a word bank. So far the translation reads "This desk is made of" and one of the options to complete the sentence is wood. Another, however, is teeth, which would be an objectively more interesting sentence (and desk).
