A bicycle on a dirt road with a snowy mountain peak in the distance.
The high country is starting to allow passage. Middle section of my ride had a fair amount of snow and mud on it but well worth it for some quality time in the wild.
man, that looks worrisomely dry (for this time of year)
I should absolutely not have been able to ride this section of road until mid-May at the earliest, @williwaw.
Annnnnd as you probably know you've got a super el nino warm pattern incoming - one of my weather colleagues told me this could be the strongest el nino on record, they're seriously freaking out about it.
Holy shit this summer is going to be bad for fire - especially with the essential dismantling of the USFS on top of the shit fuckery at FEMA. . . . I think we're going to see another Paradise/Lahaina/Marshall Fire situation somewhere. :( Keep your head on a swivel, my friend.

On Friday afternoon there was a huge plume of smoke rising up from the Madison Valley, @williwaw. It's already here : (

A sign, in Letter-sized paper, pinned in a cork board. The board is labeled at the bottom "City of Shoreline". At the top, in large print, the sign reads, in all caps "Is your 3D printer haunted?" then assorted pictures of 3D printers where the printing went massively wrong. The pictures show weird tangled artifacts where the filament has gone in all directions, forming blobs and just very weird, maybe of dreadful shapes.
In small font, next to the pictures, there is a paragraph of text reading: " Bring Your 3d printer or any haunted prints. Feel free to bring snacks. I will bring crystals to trap up to 8 spirits."
Then, in medium size, all caps font: "Join the seance to banish the spirits causing your 3D printer to misbehave. 1pm april 25th 2026 Carkeek Park Fire Pit, Seattle"
Then a picture of a funny guy with a quote suggesting a review "I have done this before and it works".
One of the pictures has a caption, in yet a different color and size font, "If you have any energy imbalances, be careful of excised spirits taking over your body, please protect yourself".
Then "Email for questions: zeitlicht@gmail.com".

Metallic space capsule with 5 large red balloons on top, floating in the ocean
Successful splashdown for Artemis II
Okay I've got my chimp suit on, everyone else?
uh oh, space hemorrhoids.
@roue arse grapes .... FROM SPAAAAACE!
So much risk, so much time and money, wasted on that pick up yesterday. If they were going to haul the capsule up onto the ship, why didn't they just haul it up, with the astronauts in it? I really do not want any snarky answers to this question. Just so many more elements of risk introduced in their wonky business. Then all those people out on the ocean at sunset, had yo strip the enormously expensive stabilizing ring, and porch, to clear the capsule and pick it up.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 I had the same question. Apparently it’s to keep people and the capsule safe. It’s 10 tones in the middle of the wavy ocean. NASA wants to evaluate how well it performed (like the heat shield) in space and if they scrape/bonk it while trying to load it they have to ask, “Did that happen while we were trying to load it onto the ship or when it was out by the moon?” The ship that picked it up has a bay they can flood and then pump the water out of. Neat stuff. Here’s a video of Artemis I’s recovery https://youtu.be/_4FbuN-Q...

Old skool best of the web.
@scruss My first prepress job involved fontwheel phototypesetters. Apparently one problem these occasionally had was the characters creeping out of alignment due to a combination of the wheel falling out of sync with the strobe and vibrations. Don't recall it cropping up during my time, problems usually had to do with the paper feed or the washing-machine-sized hard drive.
This may not be safe for viewing at work.

Aligators all the way down
PHWOAR
That's not a croc, _this_ is a croc.
@bezt However, this is probably ML generated, and it's simulacra all the way down - the legs on the furniture in the background don't quite make sense. AI-ligator, not alligator. This does seem to have happened in 2019, though on a smaller scale. https://www.clickorlando.com/news...
Nothing about that patio furniture looks out of the ordinary to me. Not saying this isn't generated but it looks very much like an unkempt AirBnB would look after a big storm to me.

this one is 100% simulacra, the real one has a different gator, different pool https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news...
I hate living in a timeline where we have to debate about whether an image is real or not. Fuck you, AI.

A photograph with a cat sitting in a window. The bottom left of the frame shows a wooden shelf in a corner of a wall and half wall. The shelves contain, from top to bottom: a lamp in the shape of a panther, a string of christmas lights and a red toolbox, only the top visible. The walls behind the shelf are white, the half wall with a wood cap. Wooden stairs are visible to the right, above which is the window with the orange cat sitting in it.

Intricately detailed shapes of the blue-tiled mosque's ceiling
'The ceiling of Shah Mosque in Isfahan, Iran (1611), featuring a mesmerising array of geometrical tessellations and radial designs. The patterns are meticulously planned, with each tile cut to fit into the celestial design.'

Please tell me those fuckers haven't bombed this
I was fortunate enough to visit Iran in 2015. The architecture and mosques of Isfahan were an absolute highlight. I'll dig up some photos to share, it's a spectacular place.
This mosque is very high on my list of places to visit, and each year it gets less and less likely I will be able to...

Seventh grade, South Tahoe Intermediate School. The first year of buffet style lunches and every day I would get french fries, chocolate milk, and an ice cream sandwich.

Blue Bell makes ice cream sandwiches that are very good.
Man it's been years since I had an ice cream sandwich. I miss how the chocolate part would stick to my teeth.
Used to lick the sides until it was concave so when you finally bit down, the vanilla didn't go everywhere. Man, that chocolate part never came off your fingers though, did it?
Full disclosure: I have a box of 24 of these in the chest freezer in the basement.
In middle school I had a chocolate milkshake with lunch every single day. It was glorious
REMOVE ONE COOKIE EDGE FROM TWO SANDWICHES AND MAKE 'EM A DOUBLE STUFF. ALSO THE GREEN MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP C'EST TROIS MAGNIFIQUE!
My favorite food
7-11 used to have an ice cream sandwich dipped in chocolate. The mint chocolate chip ones were *chef's kiss*.
Here they made the choclate biscuit/cookie vanilla and it cast a dark veil of sadness across the land.

@Argie that is horrible!
@cristin yep, and no explaination, just one day it was chocolate, the next day and ever since it was cardboard. I think I read somewhere that the change happened when Nestle or a company owned by Nestle bought Peters. Colour me shocked that Nestle would ever do anything so cruel /s

[satirical statement from george costanza]
Good afternoon.
The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jerry Seinfeld need to end today.
I have never been friends with Seinfeld.
I was invited to the same parties as Seinfeld from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City.
The first time I crossed paths with Seinfeld was in the year 2000, at an event Elaine Benes and I attended together. I never had a relationship with Seinfeld or his accomplice, Kramer.
