a TRRS and a TRS ⅛" audio plug held together with a cable tie with their channels connected by solder bridges
Where did you get a photo of my grandfather's handiwork?
Not kidding. After he passed away and we were cleaning the house up when my grandma moved into an apartment, we found power strips in the garage rafters with bare wires stuck into the sockets and wrapped up with electrical tape. A miracle he was never electrocuted or started a fire (that we know of).

Panel 1:
Bob the Angry Flower holds a pointer and is in front of a projector that says "Training"
Bob says "To review: When do we use deadly force?"
A group of ICE agents with masks and MAGA hats respond in unison "When we fear for our lives!"
Panel 2:
Bob has a big smile on his face.
Bob says "And when do we fear for our lives?"
The ICE crowd responds in unison "Always!"
Panel 3:
Bob points off the side of the panel.
Bob says "Correct! Now get out there and end some folks! The more the murderer!!!"

It just occurred to me that it’s likely only a matter of time before one of these buffoons shoots another one of these buffoons.
@bencmeissner but they will blamw the shooting on outside agitators.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 Oh, good point. Any reason to send the military in so orangeface can emulate his dictator heroes.

Its over. I shipped it off to the Planning Officer in advance of the Committee meeting on Monday. If all goes well, then it'll be shipped out to 2 external reviewers as early as Tuesday (20th Jan 2026). Thereafter we twiddle thumbs for 5 weeks or so.
I Rode My Bike and Saw Some Penguins

King penguin wading in a small creek at La Reserva Natural Pingüino Rey on the island of Tierra del Fuego in Chile, with the steam bank in the background with various foliage, including grass.
I'm on day 2 of my Tierra del Fuego Patagonia cycling adventure. Today took me past La Reserva Natural Pingüino Rey, the only King Penguin colony in Chile. I'd debatedb going out not and thought "how often can I ride a bike to see penguins", so yeah bikes the reservation and heck yeah, it was a pretty good deal for like $20 equivalent in US funds. The test of the day was filled with the famous Patagonia wind, mostly blowing as a headwind or an unhelpful side wind, but hey, I knew what I was getting into so no complaints, really.

35mm photo with overexposure of a person standing

At the scale of a pfp it looks like a purple mushroom cloud against a magenta sky.
Very mltshp!

a pine marten, stretched out from a deck railing with its fore paws on a bird feeder, looking at the camera with a guilty look on its face
Couldn't figure out why we were refilling the bird feeder so much, then I caught the culprit in the act (a pine marten).
At least it's mugging for the camera!
“Oh hi, thanks for the snacks!”
How lovely! My best fiend feeds birds and squirrels.
I have used all of these at one time or another.

Pictured is a lavatory with a mirror and a sink, a waste disposal, unit and toilet with grab bars for handicapped access. Additionally, there are phrases on the wall, which are all euphemisms for urinating or defecating. One can also see in the mirror the person taking the picture the door and the paper towel dispenser.
Story time. A dear friend and colleague who was born in Scotland remarked one day when she heard me say “I gotta see a man about a horse…” and she told me that her Da (a profligate fiddle player and ne’er do well) would stop the car during family trips and say “I need to see about a dog” and Deidre would always be excited because they weren’t allowed pets.
Drop the kids by the pool
@artwells Hehehehehe. This was the Planet Word on K Street in DC. I’m shocked that their funding allowed this level of euphemism much less one that is found in an Adam Sandler movie.
I always say "talk to a man about a horse".

Biblically accurate shirt.
As someone who sews, this has been my experience every time I have ever attempted to use a button-holer on any sewing machine.

a more-than 180° panorama taken from an upper balcony of a block of flats
The view from my mum's apartment last week, looking roughly NW over Glasgow and the hills beyond. You'll have to zoom in, but from here you can see: The Cobbler (58 km NNW), Ben Lomond (51 km NNW), Ben More (70 km N, up near Crianlarich), Dumgoyne (27 km N: it forms the distinctive notch just near the centre) and Ben Cleuch in the Ochils (57 km NE: snow covered, near the right). The Cathkin Braes wind turbine (near where I was born) is mostly hidden in the trees near the right. In theory, Goatfell on the Isle of Arran might be visible (58 km WSW), but the bay window on the building might be blocking the view. Yes, I did a GIS visibility analysis.
Mum is moving to an elder-care facility near my sister in Yorkshire next week. She is far less able to look after herself than she thinks, sadly. When she moves, my last link to the south side of Glasgow moves too. She's happy to move, so I'm happy, I suppose.

From a Facebook comment:
When he dies, on the anniversary of Renee Good’s death people should show up at his grave in numbers and blow whistles. They should stop on the street at the moment she was killed and blow whistles.
In the meantime, blow whistles loud at Donald Trump. Everywhere. In front of the White House. MaraLago. At his golf course. Everywhere. Make him dread the sound.

There's no way in hell his gravesite will be a publicly known or accessible space. The grass will never grow green there.
There are super loud whistles. But they can cause hearing damage to everyone else who’s blowing whistles near you. So you’d need to distribute ear plugs first.
