And the Fish in the Tide
BY PHILLIP CRYMBLE
Come find me on the bench behind the lighthouse--
on the back slope of the south pier wall. The place
we came to share a codfish supper--where the packet
to the island lists and knocks against the rollers
and our shadows played on rock the builders blasted
from the harbour floor. Come find me on the Schlossweg
in Tirolo--where the alpine valley meadows sway in parables
of sunlight and the breezes from the basin are as cool as air
from mountain caves. We'll linger over haselnüsse gelato.
Buy speck and German menthols. Make love until our bodies
ache. Come find me at the Seaport Farmers' Market. I'll be
waiting by the water at our table in the shade. Remind me
of the hilltop. Of the maple where we carved our names. Come
find me. I'll be waiting. Come find me. Help me on my way.
Many thanks to Carmine Starnino and the folks @thewalrus.ca for taking a chance on this sentimental carte de tendre.

Game devs will name their games like The Marrow That Lies Deep then not make it a delightful gardening simulator in which you are a world-renowned detective who has retired to a small English village.

I programmed my first complicated enemy into the first stage to compliment dynamic entry, alongside heaps of other features. There's still so much to do and polish to apply, but it's all going in the right direction. #Godot #GameDevelopment

Long-exposure photo of a small waterfall cascading from a sandstone ledge onto a stony beach. In the background is a distant ocean strait with mountains on the other side.
Greetings from the west coast of Vancouver Island, where in one day I probably doubled my 2026-so-far bird list: herons, gulls, eagles, towhees, juncos, wrens, kinglets, loons, robins, and one furious little rufous hummingbird. Plus this sweet scene at sunset.

A red dumpster bin with Call in the bin. The bottom has the lady, cat and salad meme with the Canada and USA flags on the ladies and Québec flag on the cat. The ladies' side says "call in the bin" and the cat (Québec) side says "câline de bine"
Ok i had to post this one 😂

Mission Control: Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning, there’s one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-o has been living there for 4,000 years. It seems she was banished to the moon because she stole the pill of immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is always standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not reported.
Buzz Aldrin: Okay. We’ll keep a close eye out for the bunny girl.
Apollo 11 mission, 1969:

I don't, and I won't. I refuse to accept that I have to accept the death of craftsmanship, the death of ideas, the slow rot of whatever expertise I've gained. That goes for writing, that goes for programming, & it's insulting to imply I should spend my remaining years typing guidance into a prompt.

Billowing white fog floats low in a bright blue sky along the horizon above a shimmering Pacific Ocean, seen through a line of tall and dark coastal cypress trees with a gold-hued field in the foreground.

I think they're still here. From what I've seen so far, some close calls are still going one way or the other and unchallenged, because teams might be afraid of losing challenges. I think it'll add another layer. I've heard the KBO does fully automated; I don't know if MLB will go that way or not.

🇧🇦🇨🇦CANADA VS BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA TO TO OPEN THE WORLD CUP
Toronto on June 12. Italy miss a third straight World Cup in shocking fashion in penalties.
Bosnia weren’t dominant even with a man advantage for 75+ minutes, but they’ve done it.
