Threads post with a photo of the Strait of Hormuz with a line cutting across a pointy part of land labeled CANAL with the message "Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like i'm five."

Retro-futuristic scene of a woman with a silver bob haircut in a white outfit firing rainbow laser beams toward three computer monitors, with a wall calendar reading “March 1, 2029.”
We've got just under three years to figure this out.
I feel like we literally had this with the "cast" feature on Android with the Google TV and it worked great from about 2015 to 2021-ish. Like most of Google's products and services, it just doesn't work very good anymore.
DARKSIDED!!

close up on a dinosaur head and neck with one white person on screen left side wearing white, with red hair holding their hand up, and I think Chris Pratt behind the dinosaur, holding its head as the dinosaur lays its head down on the grass and exhales.
the dinosaur's eye has been replaced with an animated googly eye that spins as the dino's head hits the ground.

years ago I worked on JW, and was working on this shot, so I had a really good matchmove of the eye. I created and animated a googly eye, stuck it on the dino, and put it in dailies as a joke comp.
anyway, someone reminded me of that, and while I don't have the joke comp, as personal images don't leave ILM's computer system, I did have a blu-ray Jurassic World, a non-commercial copy of nuke, and some free time this evening to recreate it from scratch.

I had a history of joke comps at ILM, like when I put a giant tin toy in to the middle of the fight between transformers in the forest in Transformers 2, or when I removed the refraction AOV from all the creatures in the saloon in Rango for a shot, making them look like zombies because it turned their eyes shiny black.
Assuming ILM keeps these, they must have a couple hours worth of these things from you and everybody else. It would be very cool of them to have an official blue-ray for-the-fans type compilation.
Thank you for sharing the results of your free time and recreating this. It out a little smile on my face this morning!

One of the last photos I got to take of my baby kitten.
Previously : https://mltshp.com/p/1RKG8
So, my kitten was having a lot of struggles the last couple of weeks and was not getting better as expected. His health and mobility were declining. We went to see the veterinarian again today and there were more tests, blood work, and exams. She referred us to a veterinarian that specialized in neurology to see if there was anything that would account for the symptoms that was not FIP.
Ultimately, the new tests, exam, and recent changes in his symptoms indicated an aggressive cancer and a grim diagnosis and no viable treatments. He was very humanely helped across the rainbow bridge cuddled in my arms this afternoon.
Me and five others in my family want to get sushi and eat tuna to celebrate the bravest cat I ever met.
I did the best I could for him and gave him the best life he could have had with the cards he was dealt.

and i feel where you're coming from; i've lost some cats far sooner than i thought i would have to because there simply wasn't anything else doctors could do. the right choice still doesn't feel good.
really sorry to hear you lost him. glad you could celebrate his life together at least

Photo of a kiosk sign, probably from a grocery store in the 1960s or 70s, with text from the title of the post. "Bunny" is a logotype in an oval. The upper half of the sign is a dingy, aged white but the lower half is profoundly yellowed. There is a second, identical sign partially hidden behind it. The photo is rotated 90° for readability so the ground is on the right.

Color illustration on cream-colored paper. Against a starry sky, a woman with black hair blowing upward or styled so and glowing, starlike hair ornaments, is standing in the foreground, wearing a navel-baring black dress cut away to show a lot of legs and upper torso that is possibly made of mist or smoke. Behind her are two women in white dresses and the outline of an Art Deco rocket ship.

Splash page of a The Spirit comics newspaper supplement. In an orientalist font with crescents for dots over the "i"s, it reads "the spirit", with a view of a mosque or possibly Orthodox church through a window with thin currtain, which the Spirit, a masked man in blue hat, suit, and gloves is pushing back. A brunette woman in low-cut red gown is reclining on a sofa, brushing back her hair. "I am P'gell—and this is *not* a story for little boys!"

I've been working on a little webapp that renders 3d pipe systems, inspired by the old Windows screensaver. Not sure if it's worth putting online, but it's been a fun project...
The screensaver I want to see is a mock-up of the very messy cabling in a server room, gradually getting tidied up again until it's like one of those photos you see where everything is perfectly laid out (Oddly Satisfying-style)
Yes, it's worthy.

Bar chart showing % of people who are rated as morally very good, somewhat good and somewhat bad or very bad. Data reflects view about fellow citizens (26 countries).
Canada says 92% are good and 7% are bad. USA says 47% are good and 53% are bad

"Noem 'will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida.' "

Mullin is a true buffoon and likely the dumbest member of the entire Senate. Even dumber than Tommy Tuberville, which is really saying something.
Important to note that Mullin still needs to be confirmed by the Senate, so pay attention to which Democratic senators decide to vote him in (and if they're in your state, vote them out next go around). Naturally, John Fetterman, gormless fuck that he is, has already posted about how he's voting Aye on this nomination.

Photo of a creepy person with the text:
"The data centre has completely revitalized my community. It has become the third space we so desperately needed, with children playing jump rope and running down the aisles, the elderly enjoying each others company, and people leave floral wreaths inside every day. We crawl around in the total darkness on our hands and knees and our vagus nerves are stimulated by the humming of the machines. Some people have even started to disappear, growing into the walls, and once they are in that state we pay them no mind; they cease to be individuals." - Salesforce Child

four panel comic of Nancy.
first panel shows Nancy with her typically spiky hair and bow, a sweater and black pants and Fritzi, a tall woman with long curly black hair, a tank top, black pants and wearing an upper arm band. They are walking in front of a brick wall that has a movie poster that shows a woman in a polka dot dress dancing with a man with black pants and white shirt. Nancy says "what a movie!"
panel two - close up on Fritzi. she holds one hand up and says "Eh, I liked the book more."
panel three - the two are walking under a streetlight, Fritzi is looking down at Nancy. Nancy says "Really? Why?"
panel four: close up on Fritzi saying "Guess I just pictured the characters differently." the image behind her shows an imagination bubble with the image of the movie poster, but instead of a man dancing with the woman, a woman looking a lot like Fritzi, wearing a black crop top is dancing with the woman in the polka-dot dress.

this site is amazing: https://walkman.land/
Excellent.
I had a bunch of these over the years through the 90's. My favorite was probably the Panasonic that recorded. I recorded a bunch of stuff from the radio that I still occasionally listen to with that, as well as a couple of concerts. I didn't find it on the site, but its probably still at my parents house.
Eventually I ended up with a high-end Sony (WM-EX677?) on closeout right around the time I was the only one who still cared about tapes. It was super tiny, had full-logic controls and Dolby B, but also had some weird slim rechargeable battery that didn't last long. It could use a AA in a sidecar setup, but it looked super clunky.

Ah my beloved Sony WM-F63. I miss the tactile feeling of every part of it. Smooth, soft, solid and robust, even if it was a bit heavy. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of it.

@Argie dawwwww.
i spent way too much time yesterday perusing the archive, and discovering all of the 80s/90s walkin'mens i owned were far too off-brand to show up in the archives.
i never had a strong nostalgia for tapes, even though i LOVED (and often still miss) making a good mixtape. more than anything else i miss the days of having a home dual tape deck so i could dub a nice hourlong walking mix for myself or a syrupy, dramatic mix for a significant other. spending time with each track in realtime was such a lovely experience that i've never replicated since.
starting sometime in the 2010s, a lot of bands started printing their albums to cassette (because it was much cheaper for artists, maybe like $500 for 500 cassettes, as opposed to like $1500 for 100 LPs). i would often buy a cassette from a touring band, even though i didn't have a deck, and now i have a good handful of relatively new releases that i've never played physically.
one of these days, i want to go back and get a good dual deck. not right now, but one of these days when there's fun money for it.

When I was a kid my parents bought me various walkmans. The first must have been a godsend, because now on long car journeys instead of me having to suffer ELO and Gladys Knight and the Pipps, and asking every five minutes "Are we there yet?", I got my own little insular world and I would listen to my own music religiously.
At one point they bought me a funny little Walkman (definitely not Sony). It had a little mute button that would dim the music and simultaneously engage a microphone. At some parts of the journey one of my parents would ask me a question which I would not hear and only when one of them turned around did I realise they had said something. I would press the mute button and politely ask "Can you repeat that please?".
Even at the time the pompousness of this was not lost on me.
