Two grey cats sit in a window. The cat on the left has a ridiculously fluffy tail and long hair. His name is Gandalf. The cat on the right has a normal tail and short hair. Her name is Frances. They both have their backs to the viewer, and are looking out a window with sunny greenery visible.

A band playing on the back porch of a very nice house. The lead singer is a women in skirt, blouse, and cowboy hat. There are two guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer. They are all very serious, even though it’s literally a back porch show.
Bruce with a guitar. There are 6 other musicians visible. There are 11 musicians out of frame
An image from a t-shirt store. The shirt has Jesus dressed as a hockey goalie (though not wearing a helmet, come on JC, think of your future) making a nice glove save while sliding to his left. The text says "Jesus Saves"

Rational Chotiner: The military brought it up as a possibility, and Trump waved it off and said it’ll be fine. Idiot Boies: I think that if we thought that they were not going to close the strait I believe that was a reflection, had to be a reflection, of not appreciating how far Iran’s military capacity had developed. Denouement showing Idiot is idiot: [The Wall Street Journal reported that after being warned about the war’s risk to global oil prices Trump assured his advisers that the American military could handle it.]
A snowy landscape. A nighttime picture in suburbia. The trees are covered in snow, there are lights to the left of the picture, and a fire hydrant below the lights.
A photo of an order of finger steaks with fries, garlic bread, and a cup of ketchup. It is in a red plastic basket with blue & white checked paper in the basket. Finger steaks are strips of beef that are breaded and then deep fried. This picture is from Boise's Westside Drive-In, which makes the best finger steaks around.
The sickos meme, but it's in French. Oui...hon hon hon...oui!
A picture of a halal cart on a street in NYC. It's a red cart, and the logo says "Shah's Halal Food'. It lists standard halal cart items including platters, salads, and gyros. You have to imagine that is smells wonderful, slightly spicy, with a hint of onions.
A long-haired, grey tabby cat named Gandalf lounges on the top level of a cat tree, looking out the window at a snowy landscape. His head is over the front edge of the platform, and his large back feet and ridiculously fluffy tail extend beyond the back edge. He should be thinking how lucky he is to be warm and inside, but is likely thinking there are lots of small critters to kill hiding under the snow.
Gandalf, a grey tabby cat with an ENORMOUS fluffy tail sitting between a pair of legs in tan denim. His eyes are mostly closed, as if he’s drifting off to sleep (because he is). There is a wood floor and a cabinet visible, but the important thing is how huge & floofy the tail is.
A ring-pull can with the ring-tab laying on the top of the can. It is ready to jump into your throat and choke you. Nobody survived the 70s.
A long-haired grey tabby cat with a huge poofy tail. He is lying on a beige blanket, with brick and bluegrey accents, on a couch, and has a rather pensive expression. He is a perfect floofy boy, but generates lots of static electricity.
Album cover for the soundtrack to the movie “The Big Easy” It lists the artists along the right side and has a picture of a white couple embracing and kissing, whilst two cops can be seen looking at a body through the window behind the kissing couple.
A grey tabby cat with an absolutely RIDICULOUS tail playing with a cat toy on a white/gold/blue rug. The tail would make a raccoon jealous.

Mamdani didn’t just fail to support Democratic presidential nominees Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden in last year’s existentially urgent campaign, he spoke out and organized against them. In March of 2024, Mamdani urged voters to withhold their vote from Biden
A view of 2 Strava charts. The top chart has a grey, mountain-shaped background representing elevation over time, and a blueish bar chart in the foreground showing the pace for each mile. The bottom chart shows mile splits, starting at 8:17 and finishing at 7:22. It is almost a perfect negative split chart.
A thin, muscular young white man viewed from behind and to the side. He is wearing grey sweatpants, with darker underwear visible and no shirt. His arms are lifted like wings in a weird position.
Two grey kittens sitting on a person’s lap. The person is wearing light brown pants and a green shirt. They are sitting in a brown leather chair with a remote control on the left armrest. The first kitten, roughly horizontal, has her front paws stretched out in front of her. This is Frances. The second kitten, parallel to the person’s legs, has his head resting on Frances. This is Gandalf.
A short-haired, grey tabby kitten named Frances sits in the sun on a windowsill. Through the screen you see bits of roof, a white picket fence, trees, and a neighboring yard. Her front legs are stretched out, but her hind legs are kind of tucked under her tail.
A grey tabby kitten is standing on a wooden floor, next to a copper heating grate. Her tail is almost completely vertical, and she is absolutely showing cat butt. This is her most demure pose. Normally her cat butt is pointed directly at your eyes.
A grey tabby kitten with a ridiculous tail lying on a blue/gold/off-white rug sniffing a glass of bourbon. The tail is truly something, completely puffed up like a raccoon tail.
A screenshot of a profile of “Donna Harris”, following 3100 people, 120 followers, but no posts or anything. How? Fucking bots.
“My father is buried near those tracks and they are going to disturb him and many others,” local resident Debbie Hippie said.
A red dot on a wooden floor, of intense interest to two grey kittens. The top kitten is bouncing & her tail is distorted because of the movement. The kitten on the right is just looking, though he will pounce soon. There is an off-white chair, with a blanket and a Wesleyan pillow, blue walls, and white baseboards and trim.
A clear plastic cup with an aluminum pop-top lid. Best go-cup ever.
Two charts showing different views of a run. The top chart has a light-gray inverted V shape showing elevation v. Time and a light blue, vertically-oriented bar chart in a clear “stairs going up” fashion showing increasing grade-adjusted pace each mile. The bottom chart is a horizontally-oriented bar chart showing mile splits, and it is very obvious that the pace is steadily increasing every mile. A perfect “negative split” workout.
A grey & white striped kitten, Frances, is lying on a wood floor, with her left front paw resting on a pink & yellow ball. There is a small section of sunshine on the floor just beyond her head, with a chair leg & baseboards in the background. Frances has her eyes partially closed, and her expression is pretty much saying, “Feeling froggy? Then jump MFer!”
A 36oz Yeti water bottle. It is mainly blue, with a stainless steel base and neck. The cap is white, with a grab-handle and a prominent red gasket. It is sitting on a whiteish countertop, with a wall and some cabinets in the background.
A middle-aged white man walking on the sandy shoulder of a road. There are pitch pines and dunes shrubs behind him. He has a broad-brimmed hat, sunglasses, a mustache, a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops. He is carrying a beach chair and has a backpack on.
Two gray kittens wrestle on a blanket. The kitten on the left is on her back rabbit-kicking the face of the kitten on the right. The left kitten is lighter, with more pronounced stripes. The blanket is off-white and appears to be very soft & fluffy. Too fluffy for the violence it is hosting.
A grey & white car lies on brown-painted stairs. She is very ill and will soon be taken to the vet and then over the rainbow bridge.
Image showing a shoe with 0mm drop on the left and 10mm drop on the right. In this case, 'drop' refers to the difference in the height of the heel of the shoe compared to the toe (actually ball of foot rather than toe).
A band plays on the lawn of a suburban house. The keyboard, bass, & drummer are on the porch. The two singers and guitar are on the lawn in front of the porch. A 3-piece horn section is off to the right. People are standing next to parked cars or on the lawns. A man on a bike rolls past looking at the band.
A middle-aged white man plays guitar in a suburban driveway. People sit on blankets & lawn chairs watching. It is sunny, but most people are sitting in the shade, indicating it’s rather warm.
A white gravel bike leaning against a signpost. Behind it a woman in a dress is signing to pre-recorded backing tracks. Neighbors are sitting in lawn chairs and listening.
A white gravel bike leaning up against a basketball riser. It is sitting on top of a lovely (if destructive to tires & runs) Belgian block curb. Behind is a suburban home with musicians tuning up and getting ready to play a set.
Picture of Jackie Robinson sliding into second base, his right hand clenched in a fist and raised above his head, his left arm trailing behind as he slides. He is wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform, and there is a number 42 in the upper right of the picture.
Two men in biking gear pose in front of thousands of other people in biking gear while waiting for the start of the Five Boroughs Bike Tour. Both men appear to be physically-fit, middle-aged men. The man on the left is a white man in a yellowish biking jersey and the man on the right is a Black man in a black jersey with yellow & white accents. They are both smiling and posing.
A view from about 30 rows behind home plate at PNC Park, roughly 35 minutes before the (delayed) first pitch. The sky is grey, because a huge band of destructive thunderstorms just blew through. The ground crew is working to dry the field.
Screenshot of a line from the article, stating: At this time, there is no word on what caused the man to fall from the cross.
A view of a sunroom with windows on the 3 visible walls. There is a brown leather armchair & matching footstool, and a wicker side table with objects including a candle and a glass of bourbon. The walls are a tan with a hint of yellow, the trim is cream. The floor is wood-plank. Other houses and trees are visible through the windows.
A picture of Paul Karason, a middle-aged Caucasian man with yellow-white hair and blue skin, a result of long-term use of colloidal silver. He is wearing a blue denim shirt that is almost the same color as his skin, and yellow suspenders that kind of match his hair color. He looks like a demented Papa Smurf.
