Photograph. A young(ish) man stands in a parking lot next to a retail establishment which a sign identifies as "Henry the Hatter" 2472 Riopelle Street, Detroit, MI. The man is wearing a tan button-vest and khaki pants, brown leather shoes, a dark brown sport coat, a bow tie, and a brown bowler hat. He is bespectacled. His left hand rests on his hip, his right knee is slightly bent. A fine gentleman indeed.

Image of Trump's face merged into a Sun Tzu meme, so that Trump has Tzu's face, with the words, "Break an enemy blockade by blockading their blockade. - Don Tzu"
source: https://www.reddit.com/r...
reminds me of the (current?) cover of the Economist, with a blurry bloviating TFG in the foreground but the focus on a wry-looking Xi Jinping further back. The text is an abbreviate Sun Tzu quote: "Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake".
this'll teach 'em to mess with the United States.
O wait, they already know how.

We are hosting our friends from Stockholm this week. We drove to Niagara Falls and walked across the border for the views. This is Celia and Sarah recreating a photo of them from five years ago. It’s so lovely to have her and her beau (not pictured) here.
Very cool to see one of my old haunts
@BooBounder Well, the U.S. side certainly looks haunted.

The backside of a wrist watch with its battery panel open and to the side. The panel shows the manufacturer (Skagen from Denmark). The watch's battery and some mechanical components are visible. The band is in rough shape.
Mrs. PatD got me this watch 20 years ago and I'm intrigued by the idea of a watch that's not connected to a data center. Battery replacement was a success - there is movement! Now trying to get the case back on again without smashing the face.
Bon chance!

A bicycle on a dirt road with a snowy mountain peak in the distance.
The high country is starting to allow passage. Middle section of my ride had a fair amount of snow and mud on it but well worth it for some quality time in the wild.
man, that looks worrisomely dry (for this time of year)
I should absolutely not have been able to ride this section of road until mid-May at the earliest, @williwaw.
Annnnnd as you probably know you've got a super el nino warm pattern incoming - one of my weather colleagues told me this could be the strongest el nino on record, they're seriously freaking out about it.
Holy shit this summer is going to be bad for fire - especially with the essential dismantling of the USFS on top of the shit fuckery at FEMA. . . . I think we're going to see another Paradise/Lahaina/Marshall Fire situation somewhere. :( Keep your head on a swivel, my friend.

On Friday afternoon there was a huge plume of smoke rising up from the Madison Valley, @williwaw. It's already here : (

A sign, in Letter-sized paper, pinned in a cork board. The board is labeled at the bottom "City of Shoreline". At the top, in large print, the sign reads, in all caps "Is your 3D printer haunted?" then assorted pictures of 3D printers where the printing went massively wrong. The pictures show weird tangled artifacts where the filament has gone in all directions, forming blobs and just very weird, maybe of dreadful shapes.
In small font, next to the pictures, there is a paragraph of text reading: " Bring Your 3d printer or any haunted prints. Feel free to bring snacks. I will bring crystals to trap up to 8 spirits."
Then, in medium size, all caps font: "Join the seance to banish the spirits causing your 3D printer to misbehave. 1pm april 25th 2026 Carkeek Park Fire Pit, Seattle"
Then a picture of a funny guy with a quote suggesting a review "I have done this before and it works".
One of the pictures has a caption, in yet a different color and size font, "If you have any energy imbalances, be careful of excised spirits taking over your body, please protect yourself".
Then "Email for questions: zeitlicht@gmail.com".

So many times, I did things far more futile than this.

Having recently tossed my Creality 3D printer into the abyss (because man was not meant to spend every weekend leveling things), I wish I had known that faith-based healing was an option.

My wife's Easter eggs, made with mint and celery leaves, and red onions.
Celery and mint leaves, steeped in red onion skin broth. On weird Chinese country-shaped (Poland) plate, on contemporary imported Polish table runner.
Beautiful!
I’m curious about the process if you are willing to share the technique
Likewise, those are really cool.

Metallic space capsule with 5 large red balloons on top, floating in the ocean
Successful splashdown for Artemis II
Okay I've got my chimp suit on, everyone else?
uh oh, space hemorrhoids.
@roue arse grapes .... FROM SPAAAAACE!
So much risk, so much time and money, wasted on that pick up yesterday. If they were going to haul the capsule up onto the ship, why didn't they just haul it up, with the astronauts in it? I really do not want any snarky answers to this question. Just so many more elements of risk introduced in their wonky business. Then all those people out on the ocean at sunset, had yo strip the enormously expensive stabilizing ring, and porch, to clear the capsule and pick it up.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 I had the same question. Apparently it’s to keep people and the capsule safe. It’s 10 tones in the middle of the wavy ocean. NASA wants to evaluate how well it performed (like the heat shield) in space and if they scrape/bonk it while trying to load it they have to ask, “Did that happen while we were trying to load it onto the ship or when it was out by the moon?” The ship that picked it up has a bay they can flood and then pump the water out of. Neat stuff. Here’s a video of Artemis I’s recovery https://youtu.be/_4FbuN-Q...
@0y3ahSansAcut3 @ckoerner I've been reading the same discussion elsewhere, and some reasons...
1: Because it’s way too heavy, bulky, and unstable once it’s in the water. (weighs 10 Tonnes)
2: Space travel takes a long time and things are done precisely, 2 hours at the end of a mission is a blip
3. The craft is documented/photographed underwater, this is so they can see the state of the heat shield and other b ase parts of the craft as it landed. It may not look the same after its been carted around a bit. This is the best way to understand how it all went because science
4. Safety, it's done like this because it's safer
and a bunch more reasons but that's all i kinda remember

Aligators all the way down
PHWOAR
That's not a croc, _this_ is a croc.
@bezt However, this is probably ML generated, and it's simulacra all the way down - the legs on the furniture in the background don't quite make sense. AI-ligator, not alligator. This does seem to have happened in 2019, though on a smaller scale. https://www.clickorlando.com/news...
Nothing about that patio furniture looks out of the ordinary to me. Not saying this isn't generated but it looks very much like an unkempt AirBnB would look after a big storm to me.

this one is 100% simulacra, the real one has a different gator, different pool https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news...
I hate living in a timeline where we have to debate about whether an image is real or not. Fuck you, AI.

Old skool best of the web.
@scruss My first prepress job involved fontwheel phototypesetters. Apparently one problem these occasionally had was the characters creeping out of alignment due to a combination of the wheel falling out of sync with the strobe and vibrations. Don't recall it cropping up during my time, problems usually had to do with the paper feed or the washing-machine-sized hard drive.

Intricately detailed shapes of the blue-tiled mosque's ceiling
'The ceiling of Shah Mosque in Isfahan, Iran (1611), featuring a mesmerising array of geometrical tessellations and radial designs. The patterns are meticulously planned, with each tile cut to fit into the celestial design.'

Please tell me those fuckers haven't bombed this
I was fortunate enough to visit Iran in 2015. The architecture and mosques of Isfahan were an absolute highlight. I'll dig up some photos to share, it's a spectacular place.
This mosque is very high on my list of places to visit, and each year it gets less and less likely I will be able to...

A photograph with a cat sitting in a window. The bottom left of the frame shows a wooden shelf in a corner of a wall and half wall. The shelves contain, from top to bottom: a lamp in the shape of a panther, a string of christmas lights and a red toolbox, only the top visible. The walls behind the shelf are white, the half wall with a wood cap. Wooden stairs are visible to the right, above which is the window with the orange cat sitting in it.

Venn diagram showing relationships between word concepts, eg. homophone, homonym, etc
source: https://www.facebook.com/
Feels like there should be something on there for homonyms that are also antonyms, like "cleave". Not because it's important, but because I think they're neat.
@ardgedee 'contranyms' or 'autoantonyms'. I guess a subset of homonym?
