You know, I don’t know how the bar got set so low for these birds, but not _every_ blue heron is automatically “great.” This one, for instance, is maybe a 7, tops.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m feeling kind of popeless right now.

Except me.

Ok time for the shameless self-promotion:
I have been playing #music for over 20 years. It's been a dream of mine to actually make something complete and distribute it. Today, I took the first step with a #lofi music project called 'j. mahlon'. You can listen on Bandcamp now, but it should hopefully be on streaming services soon!

Anyone else notice an uptick in items being shipped to the US getting mutilated with a razor by customs? (never had this happen before and now it's happened twice in a single month) First it was my custom spirograph from Poland. (Box was destroyed with a razor.) Then this very nice hand bound leather journal from Brazil.
The boxes in both cases could have been opened and resealed without taking a razor blade to them damaging the item. I'm pretty upset to see this lovely book cut up like this.

Listen, usually I don't have an opinion about what the Catholic church does, but Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa needs to be Pope, just so I can hear everyone try to pronounce his name.

Meanings of the smoke for the upcoming papal conclave:
Black smoke means they're burning oil, which could be a sign of piston ring or valve stem seal wear
White smoke means they're burning coolant and the papal head gasket has blown
