Someday everything that feels irrelevant will be a cherished memory
I love this a lot. Cannot afford, and would not wear, but it's just neat

In a weird post sponsored by Robin Hood All-Purpose Flour, the Toronto Zoo informs us that baby hippo Maple is now 9 butter tarts long.

"those better be metric butter tarts, and not imperial!"
@nikkuneko The Vancouver Zoo would probably use Nanaimo Bars as units.
Oh, apparently Maple weighs 528 Timbits:

The construction phase of the 35-foot diameter Oroville Dam Diversion Tunnel No. 1 in Butte County, California. Two tunnels were built to divert water from the Feather River during the dam’s construction and then plugged at its completion in 1967. Today, the tunnels are used to discharge water from the underground Edward Hyatt Powerplant located near Oroville Dam. Photo taken Aug. 30, 1963.

A long city street, tall buildings of glass and concrete stretching up from either side. Cars line the street, and up ahead, people walk across a crosswalk. Far in the distance, rising up into the blue sky like a mirage, stands One World Trade Center. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The people who want to whitewash Bush’s legacy as somehow “more sane” than Trump are having to ignore a whole lot that happened over those eight years.
@BennyTheIcepick I dunno. Calling it "more sane" is by no means an exoneration. Each R administration in my lifetime has been terrible* and each provided the means to facilitate the further excesses of its successors, which means they're inarguably not as absolutely nutbag-crazypants as what's there now. For the same reason, whatever follows has a pretty high likelihood of being even less sane than the current administration.
*(Okay, Nixon was a mixed bag. An extremely mixed bag. An absolutely fucking miserable bag that you would never pick up at the grab-bag counter because of the suspicious stains and odors. But he held office in a time when the political and media environment ensured he couldn't get the unilateral support necessary to do anything he wanted to do, so he managed to get some things right even if only for quid pro quo with his opposition.)

@ardgedee Let us not forget that while Nixon achieved detente with China, he wasted thousands of American lives (and thousands more of allies and enemies) on a losing war and was also a filthy fucking crook.
@MackReed Not gonna stand here to defend Nixon, the country would have been better off if Eisenhower had shoved him off. Just wanted to note that he managed to get a couple things right, even if only in a stopped-clock sort of way, and his successors have largely been incapable of even that.

shiny black sticker that says in all caps, "why would I ask ChatGPT when I could ask my local queer ADHD autistic bike mechanic"
Seriously, any bike mechanic will have better answers than an algorithm.

four-panel cartoon depicting a bald little round-headed guy on a stage, dressed in jeans and a turtleneck, akin to steve jobs during his apple presentations in the 90s, 00s and 10s. the little cartoon guy is presenting the iphone duo, which was revealed during an apple event this week (9/9/26).
top to bottom, left to right, the speech bubbles read:
1) "i'm thrilled to announce the new iphone duo!"
2) "our thinnest iphone to date, it's ninety-nine point nine percent screen on both sides... ..and it folds in half..."
3) "...ensuring that when you drop it, it will definitely break."
"it's our most breakable iphone yet!"
4) *a "*toot!*" emanates from the presenter's backside
"ignore the toot."

Reminds me of when the GOP starting harping spending money on "something called 'volcano monitoring'".
Then a big ass volcano went off and they were suddenly quiet.

@artwells Bobbbbbby Jindall!! In a response to an Obama State of the Union speech. He truly thought the U.S. didn't have any volcanoes and was endlessly mocked for it. He managed to stick around for another term but the whole debacle kind of neutered his political career.
I remember at (I think) the GSA (Geologic Society of America) conference after that mess there was a panel or lunch speech in response to his comments with something like, "How do we scientists respond to shit like this," and the speaker(s) and half the audience were all "be measured and calm, take the high road" and the other half of the audience was . . . "Can't you see we're in a fight for our lives here, you stupid fucks, so *noOoo*." (That side was right.)
The stupidity hasn't changed but the reaction sure has. *sigh*

@williwaw I used to have a Jindal GIF of his dismissive look and the caption of that quote. I posted it relentlessly during subsequent eruptions.
😩
Well NOW I can go back to loathing this coke-addled miscreant!
@williwaw @artwells every state that touches the Pacific went "whaaaaaaa?" simultaneously when Jindal said that.
Like millions of people can see volcanoes from their kitchen windows!

Norman Rockwell's oil painting "The Problem We All Live With", showing a young Black girl carrying her books and a yellow ruler, wearing a white dress and sneakers, walking on a sidewalk past a wall covered by a large racial slur and the remnants of a hurled tomato. In front of and behind her are four white men in gray and tan suits and yellow "Deputy US Marshall" armbands escorting her; the composition is such that they are visible only from the chest down. Rockwell's signature is at the bottom center of the painting.

Yesterday was Ruby Bridges' 72nd birthday; she's still alive and living in Louisiana and still working for civil rights. The past isn't dead; it isn't even past.

I was so lucky to have been able to see this painting last month, it is currently on loan to the lucas museum in los angeles.
powerful painting of a powerful girl who became an amazing woman.

It's worth noting, on the same point, that Barbara Henry, the Bostonian teacher at William Frantz Elementary School who was the only teacher willing to have Bridges in her classroom (having had experience teaching integrated classrooms to children in the military), is also still alive at 94. She spent every morning of the 1960-1961 teaching Bridges and Bridges alone, because every white child transferred classes. Here's a photo of them in 2014: https://i.guim.co.uk/img...

I'm 70 now
These two keep me on my toes.
Embiggen for fun verging on panic.
Did I mention 70?
Mrs Roonie and I are off to Italy for 3 weeks to sort of celebrate.
Changing planes in Doha. Views of the scenic Straits of Hormuz. What could possibly go wrong?
