Signpainters Alina Radetsky (left) and Kristen Bauer (right) with the newly built Mr Plywood sign, a Portland icon. In the center (bottom row) is Tom Jardine, a collector who commissioned the sign as part of an effort to preserve the aged sign it replaces.

Today's hot trend: Sucking on chili dogs down at the Tasty Freeze. Are your children at risk?
@me3dia It could be the gateway to running off behind a shady tree.

Bluesky post from a parody Heard Island government account:
"It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd."

Map showing bus route from Frankston to Tullamarine airport
The longest Melbourne bus route, all for AU$3.50, and nearly 4 hours out of your life!
One day* we'll get a train to the airport!
*(I'd give it another 30 years)

It would be a much faster trip if there weren't so many bus stops.
"This is Frankston to the airport. No-one gets on or off. OK?"

The whole thing is bat shit crazy. They hit Australia with 10% and Norfolk Island which is about 1400km east of our mainland and has a population of about 2000 people got hit with 29%. I don't think they export all that much to the US.
They also slapped 10 per cent tariffs on Heard and McDonald Islands, another Australian territory. Both islands close to the Antarctic are uninhabited.
I think the British Indian Ocean Territory also got a tariff. It has no inhabitants. All that is there is a joint UK-US military base, with UK and US personnel on it.
I'd laugh if the whole shit show wasn't so scary

The embarrassingly high level of incompetence is completely expected. It is a feature of democracy. The lowest intellect paste eaters and bullies figured out they could disrupt class again with the vote and are reveling in their newfound discovery. Tamping them down with rules and consequences eventually will happen. Until the inevitable march to the principal's office, expect spitwads on the blackboard and the toilets to be clogged with toilet paper and games of kickball to be unpleasant.
The whole administration is run by people who have never had real consequences for their stupidity. Unfortunately the finding out phase of their fucking around is going to hurt other people a lot more than it'll hurt them (and again, they do not care).
@urlnotfound 💯
Remember, they want to break shit. Their mentality is basically "well, there's room for the people *I* care about in my bunker." They do not care the tiniest fraction of an iota about The Economy.

a self-portrait of a smiling person wearing a pink hoodie and carrying a transgender pride flag on a flagpole over their shoulder
A bit late to the selfie party on trans day of visibility but I spent that morning rush hour on Seattle's Jose Rizal Bridge waving my flag at all the east-siders commuting into the city. Many positive honks and waves, and one bike commuter who gave me a thumbs down (??!?).
I hope that bike commuter gets a flat.
Here's some balancing energy! https://mltshp.com/p/1QX5T

That biker deserved a flagpole through the spojes, but that's just vindictive me.

I know it’s just a typo but I choose to believe that “spo-hays” is Spanish slang for some anatomical bit or another and that makes me giggle.

For Your 0wn Safety and Protection
In response to the recent flooding
of the poetry trade with cheap, inferior verse,
heavy tariffs have been imposed
on this poem.
As a result, it is unlikely
this poem will be read by anyone
outside my domestic market -
or as I like to call her, my cat.
Such news will come as a relief
to the thousands of people
who have already found my poetry
to be taxing enough,
and lends further credence
to those literary critics
who consider my work to be
of little import.

Panel 1:
An adult stands in the doorway looking at a child who has built a flower out of Lego blocks. The adult says "Have you tried building something practical?"
Panel 2:
The child looks proudly at their new Lego creation which is the adult standing holding a sign that says "I AM PROUD OF YOU"
I'm not crying, you're crying.

A graph showing a directly linear relationship between yesterday's announced tariffs and the (imports - exports) / imports ratio, going steadily up from Israel and the Philippines to Vietnam with a slope of 2.
source: Twitter
In case you missed it, the "retaliatory tariffs" are simply figuring out what our trade deficit is as a percentage of our exports, then dividing that by half (floored at 10% as a fuck-you to Australia)—explicitly acknowledged now because if America buys more stuff from abroad it must be because abroad is somehow cheating.

When you convince the rich that they’re rich because they’re better and smarter than everyone else, that experts are duplicitous and trying to rob you of your rightfully earned billions, you arrive at this level of catastrophic incompetence.
The people at the helm have no business being there. We are in serious trouble.

I saw a quote from an analyst thanking someone else for doing the math and showing their work because they basically had a mental block against the explanation being this stupid.

A girl in a blue shirt smiles amidst symbols like a rainbow, smiling flowers, a sunflower, and an infinity loop. Reflective text reads, “12 y.o. me, who knew she was different, but wouldn’t know why until 30 years later... Happy Autism Awareness Day.” The mood is celebratory and contemplative.
Happy Autism Awareness Day!

I called her Process Leia and my aged twenty-something daughter firmly corrected me:
"That is ~GENERAL~ Organa."
"That is ~GENERAL~ Organa."
Didn't the general post this picture before about how she was high on coke when this was taken? Not the best time to climb around on balconies above parking lots.
Absolutely the best time to climb around on balconies above parking lots, by some measures!
@pk might have been hard to get a picture of her NOT on coke. Local lore has Jim Belushi telling her to moderate herself on the set of the Blues Brothers... Belushi!

"dude, they call me 'Weird Al' and you're questioning my taste in movies?"
"Everyone knows it ought to be 'Real Genius', Al."
@ardgedee @rogrtheshrubber I really like how polite Al was with introducing himself and assuming Val Kilmer wouldn’t know who he was.
@jive_t Every interview with Al that I've read and watched has left me with the sense that he's very self-aware guy who knows where his career as a wacky musician puts him on the celebrity hierarchy.
@ardgedee I'd enjoyed the Amoeba Records "What's in My Bag?" series for years before finding out it started when a clerk saw Al shopping and asked if he'd take a few minutes after checkout to talk about what he bought. National treasure, says I!
@rogrtheshrubber 1000% agree!

A middle aged man with long brown hair and goatee stands in front of Union Station in Denver, a train station with a neoclassical design of off-white stone and rounded arches. The man wears dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt bearing the symbols of a rose and a broken chain. In a gothic font, the shirt reads “Protect trans folks”
A day late but I am passing by thousands of people today so I’m going for impact over punctuality. ✊🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

A detailed LEGO Studio Ghibli diorama featuring characters and scenes from multiple films on a green circular base. Includes Nausicaä on glider, Totoro with red bridge, Howl's castle, Laputa robot, and multiple minifigures. Buildings with traditional Japanese architecture connected by paths create a cohesive village atmosphere against a teal background.
If this gets 10,000 votes, LEGO will consider turning it into an official set. As of now, it only needs 1,156 votes, so please add yours: https://ideas.lego.com/projects...

Photoshopped image of Cory Booker as Olenna Tyrel with the subtitle "Tell Strom Thurmond. I want him to know it was me."
I made a dumb meme.
Impressive for Booker; I couldn't have done it. Glad to see it taken away from Thurmond, may he rot in hell. But I also hope this goes beyond a 25-hour speech and ignites more fire in the opposition.

Sure is weird that republicans can filibuster just by saying they're going to but democrats have to physically mortify themselves for it to count. Must be in the constitution somewhere.
@carnivorouskale I was also wondering about that
i hate the democrats so f-ing much now.
I love that not only did he smoke ol Strom, but he did it while talking nonstop about actual issues relevant to Americans instead of reading textbooks or whatever time-wasting horseshit Thurmond did because he hated Black people.
