A clear, lidded plastic tub filled with dark chocolate-covered almonds. The red label reads "Trader Joe's® Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds" in yellow script and serif type, with the tagline: "Crunchy California almonds drenched in our special blend of rich dark chocolate." Dark chocolate almonds are visible through the container above and below the label.
#TraderJoe's Chocolate Covered Almonds have Zero Calories!
If you drop them on the floor
And the box breaks open
And you throw them out because they're dirty.

A four-row reference table from a vehicle owner's manual with three columns describing tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning indicators. Each row includes a warning triangle icon on the left, a center column describing display behavior, and a right column explaining what the condition means. Row 1: Warning light lights up yellow / tire pressure symbol appears on display / critical tire pressure flashes → Tire pressure is close to the limit of permitted tolerance (see page 38) Row 2: Warning light flashes red / tire pressure symbol appears on display / critical tire pressure flashes → Tire pressure is outside permitted tolerance (see page 38) Row 3: (No warning light icon) / Dashes ("– –" or "– – – –") appear on display → Signal transmission disrupted (see page 38) Row 4: Warning light lights up yellow / tire pressure symbol appears on display / dashes appear on display → Sensor defective or system error (see page 39)
I'm in agreement with those who believe the tire pressure warning indicator looks like an unclothed butt.
I really need to download that game....
Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) holding a cigarette and looking intently forward, with the caption ‘Sarah Connor watching you use AI for everything.’
This seems extra relevant in light of recent news stories....
Two freshly baked loaves of banana bread sit in rectangular loaf pans on a stovetop. The tops are golden brown and cracked, with one loaf showing visible red berries mixed into the batter.
Loaves 13 and 14. Front is more frozen cranberries. Back is a very experimental one with peanut butter icing (probably should have skipped the maple syrup on that one).
The image shows the inside of a cardboard box lined with crumpled brown paper that has small ventilation holes punched throughout. There are dark wet stains on the paper, and a clear plastic bag is tucked along the right side of the box.
🎶 Yes, we have no bananas....
The image shows the inside of a large cardboard produce box with ventilation holes on the sides. Inside the box are several bunches of ripe yellow bananas, some with brown spots and bruising. A few bananas still have small produce stickers attached. The bottom of the box is lined with brown paper, which has dark stains that look like moisture or juice from the fruit. On the right side, there is a crumpled clear plastic bag. The bananas are arranged loosely along the sides of the box, leaving the center mostly empty.
Nearly out of #bananas!!
Three freshly baked loaves of banana bread in rectangular pans, cooling on a stovetop.
Loaves ten, eleven and twelve. I believe the closest is the one with chocolate chips. The other two have blueberries.

Loaves seven, eight, and nine. Two with chocolate chips, one with walnuts.

Three homemade loaves of banana bread in baking pans, including two with chocolate chips and one with visible fruit pieces, cooling on a stovetop.
Three more loaves of banana bread. Two with chocolate chips, and one, an experiment, with cranberries. (The cranberries were a success! I'd been worried they would add too much liquid.)

It's basically the #ChocolateCoveredKatie recipe, this time without the chocolate chips.

Might I suggest an antidote to next week's pressure?

This is security theater, but it makes me feel good.
Translation:
If somebody tries to access a set of files I know will never exist on the site, assume it's a bot and tell them to go ... "probe" themselves.
Take a deep breath.
Remember that most things aren't horrible.
Exhale.

Surreal city skyline at dusk with a large butt-shaped moon glowing above the water, its reflection mirrored on the calm surface under a starry sky.
When asking AI to create an image of a landscape with a heart-shaped moon — sometimes you get something that looks more like a butt.
Turns out, the Budweiser Eagle is a real one.

Screenshot of the "Hero Image" from an article titled "39 Gifts That Win Valentine's Day". One of the items, circled in red, appears to be a short bladed knife.
Perhaps I'm just not romantic enough, but rather than a gift idea, a knife seems more like a warning along the lines of, "Don't you dare forget Valentine's Day this year...."
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind it being 10-15 degrees warmer. But I'm really enjoying how it was still light out at 5:15.
Oh, it’s peak Pittsburgh to be sure. But I suspect “yinz” already know that. 🙂
The image shows a snowy scene. In the foreground, the very top of a ketchup bottle is barely visible above the snow. Image text WPXI-TV Pittsburtgh UPDATE NO. 4: Farewell, ketchup! Our bottle appears to have met its match. Is a second bottle in order? This is followed by links to the television station's web site.
Using a Heinz ketchup bottle as snow gauge is just another fine example of how far my countrymen will go in order to avoid measuring ANYTHING in metric units.
