Karpatka!
A 9-inch round karpatka, choux pastry filled with crème pâtissière, dusted with confectioner's sugar. Basically a giant cream puff.

Admittedly, this includes the post-surgical convalescence but, still, I should probably get out more.

Ah, the Mission District, well-known for its complete absence of obstructions to low-flying autonomous aircraft.

Completely renowned for it, really.

Adding references to Reagan is often illuminating, but it's rarely good.

If you walk without rhythm, you won't attract the whale.
A large concrete sandbox / art installation with a statue of a breaching whale head and tail amid the sand. The head is slightly too far from the tail to be one whale, but too close to be two, resulting in it being evocative of the sandworms from Dune.

If you keep Orshansky’s logic—if you maintain her principle that poverty could be defined by the inverse of food’s budget share—but update the food share to reflect today’s reality, the multiplier is no longer three. It becomes sixteen. Which means if you measured income inadequacy today the way Orshansky measured it in 1963, the threshold for a family of four wouldn’t be $31,200. It would be somewhere between $130,000 and $150,000.

This is the fourth time this philodendron has bloomed in the past two years or so.

Never fails to surprise and delight me.
A potted philodendron with a casting of a ram's skull lashed to the pot, hung from a ceiling mount with its leaves twined through the horns of the skull. A small red flower with a yellow stigma is tucked into the curve of one of the horns.

Every video that's been optimized for profit:
A screen capture from The Simpsons, in which Grandpa Simpson says," One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days ..."

My shins are the only part of me that is not shivering, thanks to the Small Black Cat.
First person view of a small black cat perched in the hammock created by a crochet blanked draped across a reclining person's outstretched legs. The remainder of the person is wrapped in a second, similar blanket, so that only their left hand is visible.

When a Kevin Smith movie has a more nuanced take than reality, we're definitely in the bad timeline.
