Backtalk: A Medium Place
They moved a cherry picker and a big dumpster across the road from me in preparation for the demo that's finally happening on the collapsed house starting at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow morning.
I think I'm going to ask to see that video again, since I'm told it nearly landed on me, and that bricks were flying around. Or maybe not.

Don’t open the gate-
The melons might flee!

Hello everybody - time to face another week in the world, even if it looks at you funny.
Still packing, talk amongst yourselves.
Or read about Naomi Klein's experience of constantly being confused with Naomi Wolf. Or both. Or neither. Enjoy your Sunday evening/ Monday morning.
They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.
Good evening.

Hello and welcome to the internet's cozy corner of cute, Fur Face Friday! As summer winds down, our furry and feathered pals were in fine form in last week's comments.

Welcome to Fur Face Friday. In case you're new here, favorites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, leahaven, and myopicprophet), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE.
It's a good evening for an arrest and a mugshot. (not the real mugshot.)
The environmental news is unnerving and depressing. It's amped up the usual despair by several degrees.

Remember if it's hot for you, it's hot for them too. Bring them indoors.

So let's get a party going.
It's back to school time again. And those passing judgment on us last week will soon face their own exams.
HoneySmacks' Gizmo is practicing entrapment skills. I'd fall for it if it weren't for those enormous paws.
Some candidates for BalkTalk Village from Bored Panda, although I expect a Bond Girl to be swimming in this supervillain's ocean side pool;
Robot's got the right idea. Happiness is kittens in a bucket. Unless he's trying to keep them there?

Reblogged on Tumblr thousands of times so I can't find the photographer and artist to credit properly. The robot seems to be 3-D printed and hand painted. Nice job. The rest of the set is here: https://diabloindigo.tumblr.com/post/188958728352 |
Welcome to Monday. Try not to hurt yourself.
