Dems just flipped a state senate seat in Texas (Ft. Worth area) that's been red since 1992, went for Trump 17+, outspent Dems by 2 million+ and . . . did so 57-43.
57-43.
That's not just a flip but a 30 pt swing.
And those districts that went blue? Heavily Latino.

Art by Krzysztof Grzybacz depicts a dog in the front (driver?) seat of a sedan, purple in color. The dog is wearing a seatbelt. The scale is very off.

Illustration art of a puddle in a muddy road. Tire tracks and footprints in an irregular pattern frame the puddle, which is reflecting a sparse pine forest. Things seem pretty normal by Escher standards, but they are still slightly off.

Photography of a road tunnel in the side of a snow-covered mountain in Vercors, France; per comments in the thread there is digital manipulation to the image to remove a car from the road. The air is heavy with mist and it seems like the tunnel is simultaneously seconds from collapsing or will last ten thousand years.

I imagine the Zion's tunnel (Zion National Park, Utah,) is like this at times.
I have seen fog like that at its entrance, but never that much snow.

You got a light?
The one thing I remember from reading A Wrinkle in Time in 1978
Imagine the smell...
heh, my eyes dart toward imagery enough that I went "oh hey, a hypercube" before "oh hey that's my username"
gonna start calling joints "vertices"

@joshmillard I love that you saw the image first. A true fan.

They gave the 2025 prize to Machado so... no.
@ardgedee Yeah, maybe, but we can hope.
He’ll probably just demand you give it to him. He’s collecting them, you know.
@MackReed In all seriousness, they could impound it at customs.

Painting of a field of blue flowers, sparse in foreground but frankly exploding towards the horizon. A blue sky with high white clouds above. In middle ground, green is returning to a tree. Probably early spring?

A black background with a red "Closed" sign, like a lot of businesses are displaying right now in solidarity with the nationwide general strike and the protest against ICE. The sign reads "Sorry, We're Closed" in white letters in that mix of script and all-caps sans-serif that I like so much. In the lower left are the words "Fire ICE", scrawled in neon-pink graffiti lettering. In the top right is the Minnesota flag, a design that features a light blue field with a darker blue obtuse angular figure on the hoist. There's one small modification, though: in place of the white star is the Rebel Alliance logo from Star Wars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A two-page spread in Katsuhiro Otomo's 'Akira' (the manga) shows a biker gang riding through a city center (Neo-Tokyo). The rendering of the buildings is mind-boggling in its level of detail.

How many artists can even figure out how to turn the binding into part of the artwork?

A rare, Kenyan black leopard, stands in yellow brush, the color of it's eyes. The photographer, Andy Rouse said, "Probably the most beautiful cat, I have ever seen, and, I have seen a lot."
A rare black leopard at the Laikipia wildlife conservancy, Kenya. The photographer said: “This is a seven-year-old black female leopard called Giza. She’s very famous as she’s so bold and beautiful. It’s been an ambition of mine for several years to photograph her for my forthcoming leopard project, and wow what an experience it was. She took my breath away the first time I saw her – probably the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen, and I have seen a lot”

RSS never tracked you. Email never throttled you. Blogs never begged for dopamine. The old web wasn’t perfect. But it was yours.
Fuck yea.
Actually. I disagree a little with this. The old web WAS Perfect.
I mean, except for Internet Explorer. That sucked.

@homerj the dialup sucked, porn was terrible and full of beastiality and children, email was unfiltered and absolutely full of spam, and women were consistently rejected and abused.
It’s easy to forget the shit that sucked. There were lots of great things, but there were lots of shitty things too.

I tied the <blink> tag to my belt, which was the style at the time …
@vosechu valid points though I'm not sure that has all changed as much as it should have.
Where's the mltshp link ring?

@homerj yeah, agreed. It’s hard to know whether things are actually better or worse in aggregate. As a crusty old fart I can compare a bit, but it’s hard for me still. For folks that barely even saw the 90s or 00s, I think they fantasize about the past based on half remembered fish stories.
I want a combo rss and email newsletter reader, plug-ins for additional services like mastodon, etc., and for internet accounts to have a public web directory again as part of the bundle, in case you want to make your own website.

From a post on Threads:
From headlight.news yesterday:
Best review ever. On the Netflix
Melania "documentary":
"If they showed this film on a plane,
people would still walk out." -Variety
