@artwells TIL! https://www.billboard.com/pro...
He comes across as a pretty regular humble guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch...
I love his body of work. Nice rhythm to it.

A bowl of baked beans and corn sits on a colorful glass cutting board on my kitchen counter. In the corner are the handle of a brayer and a print I’m working on right now.
Beans-and-corn.
When I was a kid this was one of the least expensive ways my parents found to get big bowls of complete protein to three kids.
My dad would get cheapo baked beans and add frozen corn and then add ketchup and mustard and barbecue sauce and brown sugar. I used Busch’s instead (ROLLLL that beautiful bean footage), but still ended up adding a little bbq sauce.
It was filling and hot and delicious and the corn adds both sweetness and more texture than just the smooshy beans on their own.
Even my kid who doesn’t like baked beans not only liked it, but spent a bunch of time talking about how much he liked it, so that’s kind of fun.

My version of this uses the frozen corn that has other veggies in it like bell peppers and onions (*not* peas & carrots) , often called something like "Southwestern" depending on the brand, mayhap you'd like that as well?
(Sometimes I add some cumin & chili powder for an "instant chili" if you will.) Then if you have leftovers throw an egg on in the morning and/or put some in a tortilla for insta-burrito.

@williwaw that all sounds good! Tonight it was mostly just for nostalgia’s sake, and m’lovely wife doesn’t love beans, so the fact that she’s out of town is the only reason I was happy to make it this evening’s entree, so prolly won’t riff on it much moving forward. 😂
That said, I DO love bean tacos/burritos!!

In these parts, that's called succotash.
I still make what my Mom called "beef and rice fiesta," two cups dry rice cooked, one pound frozen kernel corn, and one pound browned ground beef, the cheapest you can find. Spice to taste. She likely only did salt and pepper but I also add garlic powder, onion cumin, and smoked paprika. If I am fancy I will brown onions and peppers before doing the meat.

SOP is to apply a permanent fix by KILLing the offender and sealing the port. Side benefit is usually a reduction in attack surface in future penetration testing.

"Lesson Learned."

haven't really used kagi's service much; honestly couldn't tell you if a "paid search" is worth it compared to free options (especially given my salary) but this amused me.

Rise and grind! ☀️
The hustle doesn't stop until the mission is accomplished and we can pivot back to our home base.
It’s all about that 24/7 grind, day in and day out. 📈
We’re pushing through the night, fueled by passion (and maybe a little rum), staying laser-focused on the goal. 🥃
(The grind continues until we hit our KPIs.)
Scaling our banana inventory until the morning stand-up. 🍌
(The grind continues until we hit our KPIs.)
Shoutout to the Project Manager—let’s get these deliverables tracked and accounted for!
(The grind continues until we hit our KPIs.)
Let’s talk about high-impact growth: 6-foot, 7-foot, 8-foot bunches! 🚀
(The grind continues until we hit our KPIs.)

A vast grid of streetlights fills the Los Angeles basin. Airplanes approaching LAX are visible low on the horizon. Griffith observatory is on the left side of the picture.
March 17, 2026. Looking roughly southeast from the Griffith observatory.

Griffith Observatory is something I wish I discovered sooner in the short time I lived in LA
You can see all the stars from LA.

Wet dartboard
Any dart players care to give an opinion on this type of board?
Seems to me that there would be a higher chance of the dart bouncing off the borders surrounding each hole.

I have that exact board (two actually in our basement bar). It’s actually rare to bounce off the board, surprisingly. I learned on a cork dartboard, but the electronic ones have the advantage of keeping score for you.

@lamnatos 💯
There are a number of structures like this in and around Tarapoto, Peru. One on the south side of town that is quite epic and, since being abandoned due to multiple failed construction inspections has become a squat with carpenters and masons continuing work in the hopes that one day they will be able to take legal ownership... and get the Peruvian equivalent of a CoO... on a 9 story modern day ruin; https://maps.app.goo.gl/SHNEuNqL...
@lamnatos accurate
Or, concrete diving platform.
Not abandoned! Unfinished.

The skyline of downtown Los Angeles, seen at night from the Griffith Observatory, with the back of a person's head in the foreground.
Inspired by the earlier posts from @ang ( https://mltshp.com/p/1RMCM ), I just wanted to share my take on the view from the Griffith Observatory. We were visiting our daughter in LA in January, and had an evening off before our flight home, and I'd always wanted to see the view from here at night, after seeing and admiring it in countless movies over the years. Unfortunately, that meant (to me) that there really was no un-examined angle to get good shots, just 'my own' shots. I'm particularly fond of this one of downtown LA, with my wife's lovely hair in the foreground.

A book cover, "Bilbo: En Hobbits Äventyr", showing an axe- and shield-bearing, nightcap-wearing Bilbo in pen and ink wash. Behind him is a mountain with torch-bearing mountain figures at its base; above the mountain, flying in front of a misty moon, is Smaug.
YESS! i've always wanted a copy of this one

A picture of the Griffith observatory about 50 minutes after sunset. The front of the building is lit by car headlights and many people are visible.
Griffith Observatory. March 17, 2026. First time visiting. Temp was about 85F.
I used to bike up there every so often and walk around the promenade on the front side of the building. I *adore* the Observatory.
A peoples palace of science. Beautiful
There was a series of Big Letter postcards I didn't buy there in the 90s that I still regret. Otherwise , no notes ans try to work in a visit on the rare occasion I get to LA

black and white image of a tired-assed middle-aged mostly-caucasian hipster doofus taking a selfie in a motorcycle side mirror. he is wearing a flannel shirt, windsor frame eyesglasses, and a stocking cap
spent the weekend checking in on my parents after their town was hit by (positively massive) hail and a tornado.
i was so relieved to discover that they were left mostly untouched when neighbors had totaled cars, broken windshields, broken roofs. hail did end up piercing their roof in one spot, but thankfully no water got through.
the hail did do some damage to my dad’s gigantic truck, which is a bit of a point of contention. he hasn’t been able to walk well since his stroke last year, let alone drive, and yet he keeps holding on to that truck. i want him to have a rehabilitation goal to work toward, but watching it rust in the driveway while they continue to pay insurance on it seems like such a waste. same with his motorcycle, the mirror of which you can see here.
since i didn’t have broken glass to clean up or windows to board up, i was able to do some cleaning for my mom, who is really overworked right now. there’s a balancing act between letting her cede enough control to be able to do things for her, keeping her easily-bruised pride intact, and keeping my cool with her distractability and avoidance dances. it’s slow work getting there, one piece at a time, but we are building to something.
i’m in a quiet place in my own life at the moment, but i know i need to take a lesson from my interactions with my mom - stop avoiding things, stop being too proud to ask for help. it’s time to unpack some tasks for myself so i can do better for them as they need more help.
anywho, that’s-a-me, that’s where i am. maybe next time you’ll get some pics of my still-intact lego creations i unearthed in their attic instead of my wrinkled-assed mug.

Four panels from an old "Peanuts" comic strip. The original word balloons have been replaced.
1st panel: Linus: "Diego, a most startling development has transpired at our house."
2nd panel: Linus: "Our family has acquired a billiards table."
3rd panel: Charlie Brown: "That is most interesting Juan. I am sure that your father will indulge in the game a good deal and enjoy himself immensely."
4th panel: Linus: "No Diego... it is my mother who is enjoying herself with this game of billiards."

I've been cleaning out some old hard drives and happened across a scan of this early-90s minicomic detourning old "Peanuts" strips. Attributed to "Dr. Casey 'Sparky' Finnegan", it was actually a handful of Toronto-based comics artists.
There are three sections, the first being some random gag strips trying to be as distasteful as possible, and third a series about Charlie Brown and Linus learning about their sexuality.
What makes this worth tracking down is the middle section, a short story called "Billiards" which gets much stranger than the very disorienting excerpt above.

an “i voted” sticker, pasted onto a sticker-laden hydroflask. it features a purple fuzzy bipedal creature with one eye; below the eye it simply says “voted”
so glad i finally have an “unhinged option” after primaries this year. (nothing against the other winning designs for my county, but i cackled so hard at this insane FryGuy of a sticker)
(EDIT: i guess this design wasn't new this year; i just hadn't seen it in the last couple elections! it looks like the contest was held in 2022, and the other five winners are shown here: https://www.wcia.com/news... CAN'T BELIEVE that this was just a RUNNER UP!)

@jpoulos This is on Moody St in Waltham, MA. The bridge over the Charles River. We live a little less than a mile west of here.
@LocalStain heh. I was thinking that looks like the Charles. Howdy from out in Boxborough.
@jpoulos Nice. I didn't realize you were in the neighborhood. We ought to hit up @kokogiak and organize a mltshp meetup some place central to us all.
@LocalStain I'll be there. 💯
I'd be down @LocalStain , @jpoulos - MetroWest woo!
@jpoulos, @kokogiak Excellent.
My only limitations are I don't have a vehicle and I'm back to MV in mid May. So anything within range of the commuter rail, in the next two months, would be ideal. Heh.

A black-and-white tournament bracket titled “Sandwich Madness 2026,” with pink accent text and a cartoon sandwich logo at the top center. The bracket is divided into four regions: “Moist Maker Region” and “Broodwich Region” on the left, and “Teamster Sandwich Region” and “Tangwich Region” on the right. Each region contains a seeded list of various sandwiches and sandwich-like foods (e.g., Reuben, PBJ, Burrito, Club, Meatball Sub, Hot Dog, Lobster Roll), arranged in head-to-head matchups progressing toward the center. Advancing items are filled into connecting lines, leading to semifinal matchups labeled “Beef Brisket” (left side winner) and “Torta” (right side winner). At the bottom center, a “Champion” box shows “Torta” as the overall winner.
Some tough matchups this year!
What a wonderful time of the year! (Northern Hemisphere version)
The snow is melting, bulbs are popping up, birds are returning and sandwich madness is on your doorstep!
