Most adorable crown
A Mantyke card in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The rarity is crown - it has a gold swirly background. HP is 30. Its attack, Splashy Toss, has a cost of zero energy; its text says, "Take a water energy from your Energy Zone and attach it to one of your benched Basic Pokémon."

Got my Lugia EX
An immersive art (3*) Lugia EX card in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The Ability Elemental Blast is displayed (cost 1 fire, 1 water, 1 lightning: 180 damage, additional effect of discard one of each of those energies from this Pokémon).The edge is shining as the immersive effect kicks in. In place of Lugia is the words "New Art Coming Soon" on a white background.

Apparently I'm stopping by a biscuit café next to the zoo about a week before it closes
Whiteboard sign at the entrance of the Howdy Café. "Howdy! It has been a pleasure to serve the Grant Park neighborhood and beyond as well as our zoo friends and patrons. Final day open: 8/3/25 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Don't cry because it's over, be happy it happened.' - Dr. Seuss" Final Menu on the wall at the Howdy Café. Welcome to HOWDY! is spelled with kitchen magnets, as well as their categories: Lattes, Breakfast, and Eats. Most of the lattes are named after animals. Bookshelves in the seating area at the Howdy Café. Atop on the left, a cookie tin and a yellow hanging lamp block a picture of an old frigate. Farther down, a pair of large tanabata dolls stand on a wooden box. The shelves themselves are filled with books, with the occasional teapot or old photograph in front. A wall of pictures in the dining area at the Howdy Café. From the ceiling hangs a number of lanterns, tinsel, Japanese umbrellas, leis, and birdcages.

The co-sponsors and the disparaging references to Operation Choke Point (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...) are a tell here.

This might help porn. It's more likely an outlet for crypto schemes, gun manufacturers, and money laundering.

Fey, I think this law is more about enabling crypto and gun purchases than enabling the sex industry

It might be usable to that end and make things easier on cannabis dispensaries, but the list of co-sponsors and the disparaging references to Operation Choke Point are a tell

FINALLY
An end-of-race screen for Umamusume. Maruzensky is waving, as she has won. Order of finish as shown on the board on the right is 16, 18, 14, 6, and 1, with gaps of 1, 3, 1/2, 1/2 and a time of 22.08. Turf was firm. Text version of commentary at the bottom: "Showing us her full potential, she wins the race! It's Maruzensky! She wins the URA Finale Finals and stands above all other Umamusume!"

It's been sweltering here in Japan, too, as expected
Weather forecast for 6/22 (and 6/23, but see next pic). 33°C high, 25°C low, no humidity, and this was the weather everyone at the open-air Belluna Dome was feeling all day buying goods and hanging around for Aqours FINALE. Weather for 6/23 (day 32°C 10% humidity, night 27°C 20% humidity) and 6/24 (day 30°C 20% humidity, night 24°C 50% humidity and going to rain).
