A view of Akokala Lake at nautical twilight. The Livingston Range is in the background (and reflected in the lake). To the right is Numa Ridge. The peak in the far distance is Kintla Peak at 10,092 feel, and Reuter Peak on the left. Akokala Lake spots at about 4,750 feet.
View from my backcountry campsite at Akokala Lake on the North Fork of the Flathead side of Glacier. Kintla Peak (10,092') is in the far distance, with Reuter Peak closer in. I was the only one at camp, and by the looks of it, the first to stay overnight this year.
I'm still recovering post bronchitis and planned this shorter (5.8 mi each way) hike, since I could mote readily pace myself on foot then cycling. The trail was extremely muddy about a third of the way and then tied in with my first overnighter of the year, I'm feeling it today, but hey, my lungs are still moving the right direction, so that's something.

a single-panel XKCD comic, featuring one stick figure standing a top a large pile of matrices, and another standing to the side.
the figure to the side says "this is your machine learning system?" to which the one atop the pile replies "yup! you pour the data into this big pile of linear algebra, then collect the answers on the other side." the first figure responds "what if the answers are wrong?" and the pile figure quips "just stir the pile until they start looking right."

somewhere in the cesspool of linkedin, where everyone is wetting their pants to the latest claude code, i was surprised to see someone post this old chestnut. i cackled.

Film loop of Two custom lowrider cars facing off: a red white and blue one bounces straight into the air on hydraulic lifters, popping off all four hubcaps simultaneously when it lands, while the other (black) bounces erratically on diagonally opposed wheels, its dislodged front bumper flapping as a couple dozen dudes cheer from the sidelines

Yolanda and Nigel.
Story time;
Andrea was down for the weekend and left first thing this morning. It wasn't until after she left that I saw the text from my boss that i could take tonight off, the last of these sorts of breaks we might get til Sept, and though I was initially interested in an extra night off I demurred in favor of pulling in some scratch...
Fast forward a few hours and Michael messaged that he needed to speak to me about some things and reiterated his offer and I accepted. Based on timing and logistics of ferries and buses that meant I had to leave my house almost immediately lest it cost me an extra few hours and have me home after dark.
Out the door I ran. I remembered my jewelry and forgot my wallet...
To the bus stop to make a ferry two towns over. Only the gates at the terminal are down. It's 72 with a 2kt breeze in VH where I live, It's 68 and blowing 10kts on the other side of the island. Ferries are re-routed... to the town I just left...
It happens.
I learn this upon entering the ticket office at the terminal. A smiling Yolanda says; they re-route the boats due to the weather. Do you live here? Can I give you a lift to VH...?
I mean that would be amazing(I say as I see the bus that would have got me there on time pull away from the terminal). She is sure to warn me that Nigel, a wire-haired bundle of love at her feet, would need to remain navigator on our journey.
We bounced and made it with time to spare.
We chatted and learned we had more than a hadnful of shared friends, and interests; she's a cook who spent years here on the island in catering and private chef gigs.
This sort of thing might happen in your neighborhood from time to time, too! It's the sort of thing that makes living here special and feeds the idea that there is a magic on this island that is nourished by the people here as much as the place itself.
🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Small figure from The Pyramid Of The Moon. Teotihuacan, Mexico.
Surprise, why am I in your machine, I once was a God! I don't like having my image taken!
Also, someone's nicked your earrings.

(It's a figurine from the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan, which is not particularly near the Andes.)

A handsome used dog of Boxer, Pit, and who knows what else with black fur and white paws laying on a field of grass. Happy as can be.
We said goodbye to one of the greatest dogs today. Lucky to have had him in our lives.
We gave him a good life after he came to us abandoned. I like to think he gave us a bit of life over the years. The epitome of “man’s best friend”, he’d follow you to the end of the earth and back. Six years is too short for the love we had and cancer just fucking sucks.
Edit: I just realized I've posted about him a few times over the years. That brings me joy. https://mltshp.com/search...

So sorry for your loss.
This sucks, I'm sorry to hear it.
So sorry. To live in hearts that love is not to die.
So sorry
It is awful to lose a friend, I'm so sorry for you.

There is a young man in the kitchen this summer who replies to almost every order call/instruction set with a slow, drawling;
Awlllriiight.
That makes me want to kick things.
He has yet to peel the glue off of his hands, is what I'm saying.

Why are you inviting frustrating young men into your kitchen? Or do you work in a kitchen? That would make a heck of a lot more sense.
@vosechu I work in a kitchen. I have no control over who my boss hires. I can only try to work with them after they come in the door and have a chance to show us what they have. This kid, despite being a legacy as his old man worked for my boss 25 years ago, is clueless and lazy. And has absolutely no idea what the words; a sense of urgency mean when discussing anything beyond bladder and bowel movements.
he sounds nice.

A color illustration by Moebius. It shows a giant surrounded by eight humans. Or possibly one human surrounded by eight tiny humans. They're in a desert landscape. The big person sits with his back against a wall. He doesn't have a hat on, but he doesn't have any hair either.
Happy Monday!
Moebius Monday. That should be a thing, here.

Hunt's Mesa, the out front formation, on the road into The Mittens area, of Navajo Tribal Park.
Believe it or not, the AF dropped a B52 on top of this. There were two lives lost.
At 8:55 PM, while flying in and out of snow showers, the B-52's right wing and #4 engine pylon struck the north crest of Hunts Mesa on the Navajo Indian Reservation. The aircraft continued to travel on a 155 degree magnetic heading another 3,465 feet before it crashed onto a lower southern bluff of Hunts Mesa.

Pretty stinkin’ cool
@dad wonderful color. What film is this on? Any digital post work?
@MackReed The film is Kodak Gold.
I digitize with my DSLR on a vertical stand, 6x9 is the largest my light can do so for 6x12 I have to stitch two files. I use Negative Lab Pro for conversion and it has a profile for Kodak Gold. I often will lift the black point a small amount and I did here.
@m3moellering , @0y3ahSansAcut3 Thank y'all!

Very delicious photo. Everything is so very, very, middle of nowhere, and elegant in color.
i would like to negotiate with the Jawas for the droid on the right.

augustus muller and jae matthews of boy harsher sit in a small room with a few pieces of gear between them, attempting to put together a song in ten minutes. in the preview screen the "against the clock" title card is superimposed over an image of muller and matthews looking at one another over the gear. matthews had a cute li'l dog on her lap.
the members of boy harsher attempt to create a track in ten minutes (and succeed massively).
it's funny- i'm not much of an electronic music person but i've been completely obsessed with their records over the last week or two. they're already in my top 30 most played artists on last.fm.

Interesting to watch them work, it was basically a minute or 2 of talking about ideas, then each of them building on the basic scratch track without any further talk while it gradually pulled together. Cool idea for a series.
@wjcstp right? it's wild to watch them fall into a groove with so little verbalizing. it's kind of cool to sense the unspoken creative bond there.
I don't know anything about audio equipment, but I recognized her pen instantly. I had a red one at one point, but now carry a blue one in my back pocket at all times.

Two photographs, the top one features the outside wall of a building, with a half finished mural, with a painting of flowers and insects. The bottom picture shows two people working on the mural with brushes in hand.
I've been hard at work in the last two weeks together with my colleague Ivonne (in the background). But we've been slowed down a little bit. Last week there was a heatwave of more than 30°C and this weekend it's been raining a lot. But we've got some extra time. So I'm not too worried. We're not nearly finished, although some people might think it is done :-)
By the way, the design is basically a watercolour I did a couple of years ago, with some minor alterations: https://mltshp.com/p/1N5L6
The official opening is on Saturday afternoon June the 13th. If you're in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam, drop by!

whoaaaaaaaa nice work!
it's amazing to see how your linework translates so beautifully to such a large scale!

@nikkuneko Thank you! Yes, the line work is kind of the same as in my small drawings. I was quite confident I could enlarge this because my lines are kind of an extension of my anatomy (or at least that's what it feels like to me). But it was a nice surprise to see it worked out as well as I hoped it would!
Yesssssssss
Can't like this enough - so awesome!
Amazing :)
I wasn’t sure how easily your style would translate to such a large scale but it looks fantastic! Oh this is wonderful. Please keep the updates coming!
YAY!
Oh it's gorgeous!!
Woohooooo!!!
LoveitLoveitLoveitLoveit
Dang this is fantastic! Thanks so much for the update!
This looks amazing, i love that style as a mural
Holy shit, that bee.
Honestly, this is so exciting to see! Thanks for the update.
gorgeous!
This is incredible.
whooooo!
This is wonderful.
Amazing!
Thanks to everybody who commented! I can't tag you all!
Spectacular!!! Just brilliant.
Congratulations and it's not even finished!

Oh! Now I need a bigger phone! ❤️
So much rain recently. Hopefully that will be over soon
Really cheerful! The neighborhood just got a major upgrade
@joost Yes! The plan was for it to be done by now. But first, we could only work half days because of the heatwave and now the rain is making it problematic. I'm going to start tomorrow morning at 6 or something to make the most of the little dry days left the coming week.
Wonderful progress! And it's worth adding: AI could never
Lovely :)
Wow!
It's looking great!
Looking at buienradar you had a rainless morning. :-)
Very cool!
big watercolor interpretation is a fascinating mural task. looking fantastic!
@joost yes but I started too late so I didn’t get that much done.

Black and white multiple-exposure photography of a man in Old West garb trick-firing/dual-wielding revolvers that he's spinning into the air.
I wonder if the photographer is Harold Edgerton.
@poorusher Ralph Crane. https://artsandculture.google.com/asset...
@poorusher Doc Edgerton!! Ah was so cool - this does look like something he would have done.
And he only made a dollar for all that work?
@bubbalumpkis @poorusher Edgerton’s stroboscopic stuff was done in conjunction with Gjon Mili (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...), Both Mili and Crane were photographers for Life for decades. I think Mili was technically freelance, Crane staff, but they absolutely would have known each other.

Oil painting of a slice of pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream on top that is falling over the side of the pie slice in a dramatic fashion. The shadow of the pie slice and the whipped cream dollop sit against an off-white background/liminal space.
