All of these research tasks in PoGo this week are like “power up Pokémon 10 times” and like, what am I MADE OF STARDUST or something?

But why does this look like a pharmaceutical ad?
In game graphic for the Pokemon Go Best Friends forever timed research. The image shows two young adults smiling and playing on their phones. The picture optimistic but vaguely corporate and sanitized, giving it the pharma-ad like quality mentioned in the post.

Got a hand knitted cardigan at the Goodwill during lunch break. Someone clearly spent a lot of time and effort on this. I worry that this was a gift for someone made with love, politely received and then discreetly discarded.

Whatever. It’s mine now.
A knitted cardigan made using stockinette stitch with 1x1 ribbing around the openings at the collar, bottom, and sleeves. The placket is made with a vertical garter stitch. The yarn used is a soft acrylic in a variegated hot pink, neon green, bright orange, cyan, and black colorway. It has black buttons. The bright colors of the yarn are brindled in some places and pooling in others resulting in a chaotic but charming effect. There is still a goodwill tag affixed to the front.

I found another linoleum asphalt mosaic this week. This one is on the corner of Broad and Exchange. This one looks fresh. #roc
A linoleum asphalt mosaic embedded into a wet road. This one looks like a some kind of a map or floor plan maybe. It’s intricate, and includes text that says “HOH25” The colors are white, green, and chartreuse.

My stupidest flex of the week.
A set of three paldean tauros in Pokémon Go. The blaze type is named “Murciélago”, the combat type is named “Aventador”, and the aqua type is named “Diablo II”.

27° and snowing downtown.

And look at how cozy this little guy is.

Why didn’t they want to share their get rich quick crypto scheme with Dirk Van Schitteatterr of the Dutch East India company? 🥺
Scam text: I heard you're planning to go back to Indonesia, is that true? How long will you stay there before returning to the US? Me: Good morrow! What you hear is true. I intend to linger in the orient until such time as my covenant with the Dutch East India Company be fulfilled. And you sir? Scammer: When does your contract with the Dutch East India Company end? Are you my Indonesian friend Lina? Scammer: I hope I didn't send the wrong message. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing Me: Do not be abashed my fellow! I am not Lina, rather a wanderer upon the seven seas. Alas my contract with the VOC will not end until my debts to the crown have been discharged. Scammer: Oh, I see! You, a ronin, have such a complicated background. The East India Company contract is indeed difficult to break free from, but with courage, one will eventually find freedom. When do you plan to set sail again and continue your adventures? Scammer: Do you know Julie [redacted]? Me: Sir you have me all wrong. I am no ronin, I am but rather a merchant sorely beset by misfortune. Of the wench you mentioned, I know her not. Scammer: I understand now. Would you mind telling me your name? Me: Dirk Van Schitteatterr, at your service, or peril as it may be.

Editor: You got that illustration for the 1928 Thanksgiving issue of the Saturday Evening Post?

JC Leyendecker: Sure did Boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked.

Editor: what
Cover of the 1928 thanksgiving issue of the Saturday Evening Post illustrated by JC Leyendecker. Features a pilgrim on the left holding a musket and a bible and a rosy cheeked 1920s style football player with a strategically ripped shirt on the right, they are looking at each other. Both men are masculine and sexy and beautiful in that Arrow Collar Man way that Leyendecker is famous for.

Took this photo of a toynbee-like tile embedded in the street at the intersection of East and Broadway 10 years ago.

It’s not there anymore. 😕

I miss bike commuting every day with
@grumpapotamus.bsky.social. Those were the best times! We saw so much in the city.

A worn looking white vinyl tile with faded red and blue lettering embedded in some greasy looking asphalt. The lettering is hand cut and the tile is cracked. It reads “Hoise of Hades Streets Of NY Are Paved With Skulls In Society ‘2011” Below that in smaller letters it says something like “Buffalo News Working to De…” but beyond that it is worn away and illegible.

Ya know, I still can’t get over how one of the very first things that I saw upon arriving in Japan was a fully serious ANA in-flight safety video that had a bunch of Pokémon in it.

A version of the K-On “Brazil Mentioned” meme, only it’s for Rochester. The anime girl, Yui, is in a Wegmans parking lot holding a Genny Cream Ale and a pack of Zweigles. There is a garbage plate in front of her. She’s wearing a Rochester Res Wings hat.

They are coming out with a Star Trek MTG set next year. And I have friends who want to get back into it and I’m like “yeah, why don’t we just smoke a little crack while we are at it…”
Two panel image of Chekov and Sulu from Star Trek TOS sitting at their stations on the bridge. Chekov has a look of annoyed disgust on his face and Sulu looks bemused. The first panel is edited and the subtitle reads “Oh, yes, I’ll play commander” second panel subtitle says “but I won’t enjoy it.”

Nobody else I talk to is watching Dragula Titans 2, and that’s fine; but I can’t stop thinking about/quoting this one moment.

I think they nerfed this some point last night, but now they are running ghost type showcases.

How big did these things get?
Early showcase rankings, it’s been open for less than 30 minutes. My 1313.19kg hisuan Zorua is in second place with 7997 points. There is a trainer above me who has a hisuan Zorua that earned a whopping 15040 points. Third place is currently held by a large but still reasonably sized pumpkaboo (2142 pts)
