a sign hangs on a corrugated metal wall, next to a door. There's a skull and crossbones with a lightning bolt on the skull's forehead. Below it, the sign says:
DO NOT DUMB

You may not be able to go to the opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center, but you can see all of the banners I designed and animated for his '08 & '12 campaigns right now. Check it out: http://barackobamadesign.com
For true internet geeks: The ads on the site were animated using Flash. @matthewmcvickar helped me modernize the site so you can play with all the rollovers on modern browsers again.

From the source: out here on google looking up images of Black revolutionaries and freedom struggle activists laughing and enjoying themselves it's honestly really nice.

A hand holding two very small pamphlets with buff covers titled, "The Proclamation of Emancipation by the President of the United States to Take Effect January 1st, 1863".

"Just acquired: two tiny pamphlet printings of the preliminary and final Emancipation Proclamation, published in Boston in December 1862 and January 1863. Made to be distributed freely and to be carried south by Union soldiers and given, in particular, to formerly enslaved men who might enlist."
Happy Juneteenth. Work like you live in the early days of a better nation.

not to be a braggart about something so small, but feels good man. as someone who grew up extra tubby and was never in shape enough to even run one mile, it’s nice to hit even a moderate goalpost.

Hell yeah.
That's great work. Way to go!
Starting up is the hardest part, way to go!
awesome to hear, and keep it going. longer life is the payoff.
In high school I ran a mile in a just over six and a half minutes...
That was the last time I ran a mile.

Kick ass! I just started back in on the couch to 5k myself, love to see it
Amazing!
Congratulations!
Congratulations, you've inspired me to try similar. Or at least buy a new watch!
Good job!

RIP Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf You Will Be Missed
Phil and Donny will, sadly, miss the catfish meatloaf. Depending on where they go next, in heaven they will say they miss it. In hell, they have it every day, just enough to keep them dead.
Sad to hear this. I have fond memories of seeing Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf play at a juke joint when I was young.
Someday you too will be special catfish meatloaf missed.

Picture of my feet (in shoes) from an orange alpine sled going up a return track in the woods
First Alpine Coaster! At Aerie's Resort in Grafton, Illinois (right on the Mississippi River just North of Alton): https://www.aeriesresort.com/coaster
Pretty dang fun, and the way they have it built into the woods kind of makes you feel like a Stormtrooper on a Speeder Bike buzzing around Endor.

My daughter, pictured, got her car wrapped and I drive her to pick it up today. She painted the rims. She has "PA5TEL" custom plates that will be here soon.
It is a 2017 Toyota Camry if you are curious.

A plate stacked with Spanish rice, sausages, with a fork sticking out the side.
Garbage photo but pretty tasty. I had Merguez sausages once years and years ago and often lust after them. Marks and Spencers now stock them.
First time I made Spanish rice also. Jessica usually makes it and is pretty boss at it, mine was so so.

@WikiAdam A lovely place with lots going for it, - and lots of tourism in a low key way. Apart from wilderness, ferries to Skye and the Small Isles there's small town stuff and fishing. I expect it's less appealing in winter, but I really enjoyed the time I spent there.
@joffaboy Thank you! That sounds truly lovely. I've long wanted to visit Scotland but have yet to make it happen. Posts like yours push me a little closer to making it happen.

Timely, and worth reconsidering: https://www.carrozo.com/guilloti...
Good idea, bad proposal writing. I'd bet it would have passed at least the first round with a better proposal.
"We should have an eggplant emoji because people use it as a visual metaphor for penises" would have kept the eggplant emoji out of Unicode. Instead it was pitched as a popular food. So basically, "We should have a guillotine emoji because people want to murder billionaires" doomed this proposal.

@ardgedee Eggplant was in the original SoftBank/KDDI sets - I don’t think it went through the modern proposal process at all.
This proposal was already doomed, so they may as well lean into the satire.

There's a small mountain on the north edge of Barcelona. The peak is called Tibidabo. There's an amusement park that hugs the side of the mountain. You start at the top and work your way down, then you can either hike back up or take a lift. It was really fun.
We went in the evening and my daughter and I hopped on the ferris wheel right before closing. This is the view facing away from the city.

In the foreground, a bicycle loaded for camping is laid down on a rudimentary gravel road. In the mid ground is a mountain valley prairie which gives was to lodgepole pine. In the distance is the snow capped Livingston Range of Glacier NP. It's a very blue day with wispy clouds, especially on the left hand side of the image.
I got out on my first bikepacking trip since the beginning of May. I guess my lungs are mostly good post bronchitis, but holy dang, this one kicked my butt. Day one was 41 mi, with 3600 feet of elevation gain, a bunch of that landing in real punchy climbs. Not pictured is the downed tree mayhem I navigated just over half way in. Lots of hefting my loaded bike up and over (and under) way more downed trees that I was expecting. We had a pretty strong wind storm over winter with unfrozen saturated ground, AKA "a mess". Anyhow, I made it out and back, with this pic showing off the West side of Glacier NP, including the aptly named Big Prairie.
Oooh great mares tales there (cirrus clouds).
Downed tree season is real!

I wanted to make a full circle of chopped wood but it looks like it's only half way round then you can't add any more :( Please send help.
My first job after I graduated high school and got married was at a secondhand furniture/appliance store. In addition to buying and selling pretty much anything we also bought semi-trailer loads of logs in the summer and cut/split/stacked cords and cords of firewood to sell. Of course, when I say "we" I mean me, as I was the sole employee. Thankfully, one day my boss made a trade for a hydraulic splitter and I no longer had to swing an axe all day.
I wasted enough time to fill four concentric half-rings, @waldopepper.

A young Dorthy Hamill holds an ice skate in a Polaroid print, flanked by two color bars. The print was copyright Andy Warhol, it was stamped saying such. This image is by me and I refuse to hold or leverage any reproduction rights on any of my work or of any photographs of my work as a matter of principle. Take that as you will. Let the lawyers sort it out. I just share cool stuff.
