The thousand year old sport is kicking it in front the thousand some year old monument. #londonsumo #stonehenge

He's an inspiration.

Apollo tried to steal a chip on two separate occasions and then, once I'd solved that problem by finishing them, tried to shove his entire empty head in the little ramekin of queso.

Thinking about those tortilla chips.

Apollo, a black cat, is lying on a sofa, staring menacingly at a few tortilla chips and a small bowl of queso on a plate out of focus in the foreground.

I love when a dog uses a pillow.

Lana, the 50lb brindle pit/beagle/coonhound mix, is lying on a sofa with her head on a throw pillow. Her eyes are open because I wasn't quiet enough grabbing my phone.

We're finally going to get a country song about your truck leaving you for another truck, inspired by a true story.

I love that so many of these just straight up don't appear to be actual timepieces, at least at first glance. Sometimes after several glances and a glare or two.

See if you can identify the V12 Aston Martin Valkyrie in this clip.

Sure, watching race cars during the day is cool, but may I suggest watching race cars at night?

The real MVPs of multi-class endurance racing are the people who spend hours waving the blue/yellow flags at some cars and not others. That looks exhausting and I hope they rotate shifts.

Seriously, this guy is going to do enough laps to classify.

This safety car at Petit Le Mans is going to need a service soon. New tires, maybe an oil change and brake pads.

I somehow hadn't realized that both K Mag and Romain Grosjean were racing in IMSA. Come to Road Atlanta in the next 13 hours if you want an ass-kicking and a Haas reunion.

Technically, someone on this team speaks the third-most I-talian.

A snip from an auto racing guide showing the Cetilar Racing team's Ferrari 296 GT3 car with drivers Nicola Lacorte, Lorenzo Patrese, and Antonio Fuoco, all with Italian flags next to their names.

That's exactly my point! It's the retailer that's pretty universally the butt of "cheap junk that breaks" jokes, and multiple consumers and presumably parents decided that children's bike helmets from them would be fine.

Nate @natethegreat68.bsky.social · 10d

The one that really threw me for a loop was a recall a while back for children's bicycle helmets sold on Temu.

Nate @natethegreat68.bsky.social · 10d

They're really adding that personal touch.

I got some junk mail the other day addressed to Current Resident, and it opened with "Dear Current," as if that were a real name.

Ordered a cheap HDMI cable from Monoprice and the package included a Betterhelp discount flyer.

This is such a weird freaking dystopia.

Finally gave in and bought one of the cans of Banagua from the display case near the registers at the local Kroger. I've been tempted every time I go in for the last few weeks.

Does what it says on the can. It's banana water. I don't feel the need to buy another.

Oh well here's your problem - flare stack got too big. By several acres.

We tried the dog harnesses that actually buckle in for safety, but in addition to being a big hassle we learned that one of our dogs can and will unbuckle them.
