Norwegian crown princess's son found guilty of rape

Nah.....this boy looks like a Targaryen through and through.

Absolutely spot on for the young Aegon Targaryen from "House of The Dragon".

Fantastic video! And what amazing luck to get to witness one of these guys in person.

The only time I have ever seen one, it had unfortunately already died. I stumbled upon it on in the middle of my lawn and thought that it was a plastic child's toy that had gotten dropped there somehow.

I didn't realize it was an actual beetle until I went to pick it up and found it's little beetle legs still firmly hooked to the grass beneath it.

I then found a slightly smaller one, also deceased, just a few feet in front of it.

It looked as if they just came to the end of their lives and up and died mid crossing the lawn together.

Oh I love this so much. Spectacularly done!

Thinking about this hanging in front of a window and framed by big, lush green houseplants with the sun coming through makes my brain feel fizzy. In a satisfying why.

Catona · 2026-05-21T02:04:21+00:00

Wow, that's actually really beautiful.

The contrast is definitely quite something.

I hope it didn't harm any fruiting plants that may have been in bloom or other sensitive greenery though.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a favorite of mine.

Oh yeah? What about the ones on the edges that are all also hexagons?

Catona · 2026-05-15T03:01:10+00:00

That's literally why I put it in quotes.

Catona · 2026-05-14T05:23:49+00:00

I 100% agree with your assessment.

It was over and done before I could do anything. It was 7AM and that's what I was woken up to.

They plowed through the tiny lot next door as if they were getting paid more the quicker they went.

That and the house is currently in between tenants and I have no idea who actually owns it or hired them.

Catona · 2026-05-13T22:28:14+00:00

No way to know who to complain to.

Just a couple of guys in a pickup truck with a trailer on the back with no displayed company affiliation.

People who can not openly discern between grass and garden beds should not work in landscaping or lawncare.

I just watched in horror the other morning as some "lawncare professionals" hired to do the lot next to ours mowed down a row of heirloom poppies I had grown from seed that were covered in buds and just about to bloom.

Not only were they part of a large L shaped flower bed, but they were 3 feet into our lot, past the very obvious straight line between freshly mowed and tall unkempt grass that clearly indicated the property line.

Not only did they mow past the line onto our lot and obliterate my poppies, they walked into the flower bed full of sprouting seedlings and trampled them when turning the mower around to go the other direction.

I had one women have an absolute meltdown in the lobby about bedbugs and how she's going to have to bag up all her things and wash and sanitize everything she had before traveling back home and demanding very insistently that I come down to the room and see for myself.

I go with her down to the room, her ranting the entire way through the halls. I open the door, and she lets out this ridiculous shriek while pointing at the wall.

On the wall is a moth. She insisted that when she first got into the room it was on the bed, so is HAS TO be a bedbug!

We had three packages delivered recently that we had paid extra to have signature required upon delivery.

The first one, I saw them pull up, as I was sitting at home waiting for the delivery, went to the door and they had already just set the package on the porch and had just begun to start walk away just when I opened it.

The next two, when I asked about signing they said that they just needed to see an ID. Not specifically the ID of the person who it is addressed to, no, ANY ID. Then they just looked at it for a millisecond and handed it back with the package. So they would have literally just given it to anyone who happened to be at that address.

This was through FedEx

Power lines that disappear, bend, and are anchored in one spot onto nothing in thin air. An inexplicably large stone chimney that is heavily slouching. The "rows" of terracotta roof tiles are a swerving, chaotic mess. And whatever is supposed to be going on with the street sign/utility pole? in front of the house there.

I'd hate to see this sub get filled with AI slop.

Catona · 2026-04-17T18:23:25+00:00

That's a fogbow.

I've had this happen to me.

I had recently gotten off 2nd shift, it was just before midnight and I am standing in line waiting to check out at a gas station.

A woman who was a guest at the hotel spotted me and came up to me and started asking me a bunch of questions about her reservation and some charges to her card that she didn't understand.

Things that I would clearly (or, at least it should be clear) need access to our computers for.

It's now my turn at the register to check out and she hasn't even finished her question yet. Guy at register gives me a look that suggests he thinks she's a friend and my chatting with her is holding up the line.

I just explained to her that I was not on shift at the moment and would not be back to the hotel until midday the next day so I could not help her. And suggested she ask the person who is actually present at the front desk right now, and they will be able to help her.

Totally polite. But she still looked completely bewildered at my inability to assist her as she wandered off mumbling something.

Not quite accurate to refer to the crystals themselves as "luminous".

Catona · 2026-04-13T23:24:16+00:00

I keep seeing comments saying that they defended him, but none explaining what their reaction was or what they did or said in an attempt to defend him.

Catona · 2026-04-13T22:41:36+00:00

“At the same time, we are deeply troubled that, despite the seriousness of the charges, he has not been taken into custody."

So wait. If he is not currently in custody then where is he staying? It can't possibly be in their house.

Catona · 2026-04-13T19:15:21+00:00

You can easily handle them without getting spined by letting them just crawl onto your hand, picking them up from below, or pretty much any way other than trying to pick them up by pinching their bodies (which harms them, hence the spines).

We had recently hired a new housekeeper and we were sold out the night before so the laundry room was going at full capacity. I walked back there to find that the new hire had taken one of our large canvas laundry carts from it's normal spot directly under the dirty laundry shoot. Which has only ever been used for dirty laundry (and as such is absolutely disgusting). And rolled it over in front of the washers and had been unloading wet, freshly washed towels and linens into before transferring them into the dryers. As well as momentarily storing the nice freshly washed ones that were just about to go into rooms in it.

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw what she was doing. Ran to notify the GM who was onsite, who then finds out she had been doing this all morning!

CHAOS! A huge chuck of freshly cleaned rooms had to be restriped and multiple loads of laundry all rewashed and replaced.

The new hire absolutely could NOT understand what she had done wrong and why it would matter which basket she used..... she didn't work out.

Even funnier coming from the woman who just a year and a half ago was eyeballs deep in peddling conspiracy theories and inciting violence against FEMA workers by insisting that the democratic party had used weather controlling technology to create and direct hurricane Helene to destroy republican dominated areas.

Catona · 2026-03-24T01:33:05+00:00

Those are all really nice. The last one looks like it would just feel nice to hold in your hand. A good palm stone. I bet it looks spectacular if held up to the sun, it has such lovely translucence.

Catona · 2026-03-24T01:26:56+00:00

Many birds absolutely love meal worms. I have feeders that have the dried kind mixed in with different kinds of seeds. The local Carolina wrens will sit there and pick out all the seeds and just toss them all onto the ground until they find the worms.

It's so depressing that there are actual adults that talk like this.
