I love this part.
A pot of dark red, simmering liquid in which six different types of dried fruit float like red, orange, blue, and yellow jewels.

Behold my (inexpertly frosted (by me)) birthday cake! Chocolate brownie cake with a whiskey buttercream frosting!
A dark brown, thin cake with a lighter brown frosting on a green cutting board.

I'm going to be petty for a moment:
(a) does no one on his production crew like him enough to get him a cushion or something? That table is way too high for him.
(b) what the ever-loving hell is that mug?
Screencap of Greg Gutfield on "The Five". The table is high enough and the chair is short enough that his feet are practically dangling, and the edge of the table comes up nearly to his chest. His mug looks disturbingly like a golliwog.

So, this was my morning. Apologies to the pissed-off squirrels:
The interior of a shed that used to be full of black walnut shells and other tree litter, now containing four full yard waste bags of said tree litter.

The cover of the "Amalgam comics" title Super Soldier, combining Superman and Captain America into a single character, in a Captain America-like costume but with the Superman crest on the shield.

Same here. We have what we guess is the child of a nebelung: not a pure-bred since his litter-mate is a short-hair tabby. But apparently nebelung appearance can be genetically pretty strong; Boris has all the features except he has one or two small white patches.
A long-haired grey cat with a prominent ruff, sleeping on his side with his paws curled up in the middle of his owner's work desk, 'cause his owner didn't need to reach ALL of the keys on the keyboard, right? Right.

That's a happy boy. Shorthair or longhair? It's hard to tell from just the head.

One of ours, for the cat tax:

Specifically, you need to bake more.

LLMs? Really?

Wheeeee...
The US Dollar continues its decline, losing three cents against the Canadian dollar in a single day. Like, damn.

This is normal, right?
A 1-day graph of the US dollar rate in Canadian dollars, showing a precipitous drop starting at 9:00 UTC, which is when Trump's tariff remarks today began.

Today's reminder that Navarro is absolutely full of shit:
Stats comparing illegal border traffic from Canada to US, Mexico to US, and US to Canada. In 2024 over half again as many migrants, 10 times as many illegal guns, and over 20 times as much seized fentanyl went from the US to Canada as the other way around.

Our kitchen is veeeeery slowly coming together!
A photo of an incomplete kitchen, but once which now has forest green cupboards, dark wood counters, a working stove and range hood, and one wall covered in white tile resembling fish scales.

I have never in my life regretted learning how to make fruitcake.
A bowl full of raisins and currants and dried cranberries and dried blueberries and dried cherries and dried apricots and lemon zest and orange zest and candied ginger and rum!

One of our souvenirs from Prague, framed!
A framed poster of Mucha's "Medee", produced for the Sarah Bernhardt theatre production. Medea stands horrified with a bloody dagger over the bodies of her children. The framed print is six feet tall.
