see that little blemish of reddish pink in the sand to the left of the seal?
At first we thought omg adorbs 🥰 look at that little baby seal. I love that seal. It’s making cute seal sounds.
then we too noticed the red spot. then we drove a little further and saw an unimaginable horror. TW do not read on if you’re bothered by death and suffering
on that little cute seals right torso was a gigantic fucking shark bite about the size of half a large dominos pizza. Out of the bite spewed the seals insides.. laying right there in the sand. those weren’t cute seal noises we’d heard, those were death moans.
that transition from ‘omg look at that cute seal’ to ‘oh shit someone take that thing out of its misery’ is something I’m struggling to reconcile.
I hope everyone had a better July 4th than that now dead suffering animal. Happy Monday.

🚨TRAVEL THREAD🚨 I’m driving from Los Angeles to Massachusetts, about 3200 miles (5150km), and will be sharing my journey here in one gigantic thread.
—June 12, 2021 4:52AM trip begins—
I deleted my original tweet announcing this trip because I wrote the wrong date in the tweet and that typo would’ve cast a dark shadow over this adventure
first stop is to pick up my co-pilot. I’m pretty sure he’s going to sleep through 90% of this trip so set up the truck accordingly
so at the start of pandemic (March 2020) i bought enough Nutella to survive an apocalypse on Nutella alone. some of that Nutella is now starting to expire and i've made a very interesting discovery....
Nutella well passed its expirey date doesnt make me sick (might make others sick tho so proceed w caution) BUT it does harden slightly. my old Nutella rather than being a silky smooth chocolate goo is more like dense drywall putty. AND ITS FANTASTIC...
ive bent back several metal spoons trying to scoop it out but once you get a solid shovel full its an amazingly delicious treat. you have to chew it. its heavy. its wonderful...
does anyone want to take over the lease on my Tesla Model 3 Performance?
-17 months left on lease.
-$769.38 monthly payment
-NO option for buyout
-25k miles left on lease (thats a lot)
more info in thread
its a truly great car (maybe my fav ever) but we have a minivan for family vehicle and i only really need a big surf truck to beat on and haul my gear so i just dont drive this enough to justify having it (in 19 months ive put only 5k miles on it)
in flawless condition. custom chrome delete, window tint. every option Tesla offers. SERIOUS CONSIDERATION ONLY. must have good credit (so telsa finance will let you take over lease). if out of state then costs might change so best for CA people. LMK!!!
took this video tonight. Venice, California around 7pm. this is Lincoln Blvd and Flower street. I used to live 4 blocks from here.
there have been a lot of fires in LA that are linked to homeless encampments. its a dangerous situation for all parties (the homeless and nearby property owners). i see these kinds of fires often -- abc7.com/venice-fire-la….
why not stop and offer help; after living here for nearly 2 years ive learned there are appropriate ways and extremely dangerous ways to help the homeless. approaching an encampment esp at night, under any circumstances, is v dangerous.
why share a photo like this; short answer is that im not sure why. i guess after traveling to and working in LA for 15 years i moved here and only after moving here started to understand the scope of the homeless crisis.. so to share a photo is to share some of that
another q i see in the replies is; 'what are you going to do about it' as in how am i personally going to contribute to correcting the crisis. another difficult question. i donate thats easy. but to truly impact change.. thats hard
