It's been a while since I've had a banana split. I should fix that.
I thought about that very dessert yesterday, when gazing at a post here.

A black-and-white pen-and-ink drawing shows a young bull sitting calmly in the shade under a cork tree at the top of a hill as he watches two other young bulls in the field below butt their heads together.
I had read this book to my children at bedtimes over 1000x. The illustrations, inkwork and high contrast never got old.

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.

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

A blue lit room with a shower at the end, a bench, a shelf and a door to a closet like space.
Since Backrooms is out there, I thought I'd share this. I go into sensory deprivation for ninety minutes every other week or so.
Over the years, I've done it about 150 times. Last week I did my last annual double float, which is 3.5 hours (right after COVID it was five hours). It's my last annual, because I intend to do it every other month going forward.
This is room 4 in Float On in Southeast Portland Oregon. It helped me keep my job much longer than I would have otherwise. It's guided my greater decisions . It's allowed me to revisit memories I didn't know I had
The door to the right is like a closet with the floor covered with water with so much salt in it that I can float with my face above the water. It's warm enough that I quickly forget what is water and what is my skin and the warm air around it. It's dark and silent.
Just walking into the room, just getting the reminder email, removes everything from my head and the tension in my shoulders melts.
When I get in and turn off the light, visions start almost immediately. Today it was a massive eye with a dark green iris. Sometimes, once I see something, words come to me. They nearly never relate to the image. The last hundred or so floats, I've tried to remember at least three of these. When the float is done, I walk to my local and get a pint and a shot and write them down. I have no idea why I record them. Rereading them is very, very boring. I think it's just how I return.

the backrooms of your psyche
I’ve often wondered what a sensory deprivation tank would be like for me. I have aphantasia, so I normally can’t see mental images, but it’s possible that time in a tank could jump start imagery. As for the journals: I read a book about writing where the author talked about journaling every day, but not to be read later. They were just to keep the words and ideas flowing. Maybe your journals aren’t something similar.
@dogwelder I hear a lot that floating is like last meditation, and I get that. If you can get mental images during disciplined meditation, then floating will probably bring it on.
I have had periods in my life where hallucinations come to me out of the blue during normal times, so floating is like turning on the TV.
Regardless, it's worth a try. If you come to Portland, the float is on me.
And I totally get that unread diary idea. It is more ritual than record for me.

This sounds a lot like a guided ketamine course I took - visions, and they highly encouraged journaling afterwards. I want to try this next.
I think Richard Feynman was fond of using ket in sensory deprivation tanks. I'd like to try the combo but seems a little risky, TBQH.

@joost I can’t, and wouldn’t, speak to anything other than the current state of affairs here in MA/USA and I can say vehemently and with certainty, All Cops Are Bastards.
The appellation is meant to convey that if one of them is allowed to violate the law and his oaths to uphold and enforce them and faces no consequences then those who stand beside him are just as culpable for his actions.
There are probably great cops somewhere in the world. There are any at The Canton Police Department or at Massachusetts State Police Headquarters. Of that I can assure and the above text messages prove.
His superiors saw those and doubled down to protect him.
Fuck.
Them.
All.

P.S. getting high for a million years, while itvwas illegal, left me with substantial PTSD, I had no idea I had, until my duplex neighbor grew some pot. I had an outrageous internal emotional reaction to it. I read the local law, I realized it was OK, but I had to burrow down into ny unreasoned paranoia, and trace where all the tendrils of it went, including fear of the police, distrust, etc. I am a whitey, so I am not likely to be stopped, but once AI takes hold, every ACAB ideation will mske a checkmark somewhere, if we don't stop the process.

When I was growing up I knew some kids of cops along the way and I swear every single one of them had stories about how racist their dad was and stories of how they beat the shit out of black folks and had a good laugh about it.

Black bicycle helmet with dents and scrapes.
Went mountain biking on my lunch break yesterday, as I often do, here in town. Trails aren't too crazy - lots of roots, some steep climbs, some loose surfaces - but overall pretty mild. I was just there Monday for my weekly group ride, and ride the place often enough I know it well. Good ride overall, with a PR on the first/biggest climb, and at a quick enough pace to add some extra distance.
Then as I was wrapping up, my head found a low-hanging branch that wasn't there two days earlier. It wasn't enough to cause a crash, but I definitely felt the impact, and put a couple of sizable dents and scrapes on my helmet. I still had a headache two hours later, and thanks to having a neuropsychologist wife who knows all the bad things that could potentially be, we made a trip to urgent care to confirm it was a mild concussion and nothing more serious. Symptoms were nothing worse than a headache, and I'm fine this morning.
The helmet did its job. The kind of amazing thing is I've been riding seriously enough to know I need to wear a helmet since the early 90's, and this is the first one I've destroyed. Usually they get replaced because of age, or when they get gross, and this one was quickly approaching both of those points. I'll be happy to continue with this mandatory replacement interval in the future.

Oof! I’m glad you were wearing that helmet!
Yay for safety! Glad you're OK.
This is why i always wear my helmet on trails, it's the dumb things you can't always plan for that get you. Glad you're going to be ok.
@m3moellering @bezt Thanks!
@wjcstp Exactly. Most of my stupid crashes the last few years have been places I knew really well, and probably wasn't being as careful as I needed to be.

Yup yup. The bike accidents that mess you up the most usually end up being the dorky ones like falling over because you couldn't unclip fast enough, or hitting your head on a low branch.
Glad you had protection, got care quickly and know what to do.

WHAT TOWN CAN YOU RIDE TRAILS ON YOUR LUNCH BREAK?
@shitleopard Granville, Ohio - one of many perks of living here and working from home. Not my favorite trails, but riding on dirt is always better than pavement. We also have a paved rail-trail when it's too muddy for off-road, and plenty of country roads.
@ardgedee Always. My last few mishaps were caused by unexpectedly-deep gravel on the way back from the trail, clipping the support post of the guardrail the trial was paralleling, and running out of momentum on a narrow climb that had deep ditches on each side.
I have a coworker who has been in a world of mediocre shit for WEEKS thanks to a concussion. I am seriously hopeful you move on past this easily because he's super frustrated with his lack of progress : (
@samh Concussions suck the most because treatment often amounts to "I'll give you a candy if you don't think about elephants at all for the next three years."
@shitleopard For a while in the 90s I was working in a professional building hard by a field that had been slated for a suburban development that never happened, so the local riders had done some clandestine trailbuilding, making sure that no part of the trail got within 50 feet of the road where the weeds got thin enough that you could see people.
It was pretty awesome lunchtime ride, particularly if the morning involved having to deal with a super-special client.

@samh @ardgedee I got lucky, effectively it just feels like I have a sinus headache that comes and goes, which is fairly standard for me anyway. And no restrictions, I can ride again right away - though the doctor did advise not hitting the tree again.
Glad I didn't cheap out on a helmet, nor will I this time. My old one was one of the top-rated by Virginia Tech when I got it (still very highly rated). It was more of a glance than direct hit, I suspect the MIPs setup probably helped quite a bit.

I was told, very early on, that plastic will deteriorate over time and the protection that your helmet provides will naturally go south.
It is compulsory to wear a helmet when riding here and I buy a new one every 4 or 5 years or if I have a stack.

@roonie It's debated and I really haven't seen anything conclusive, but I've heard the same thing. Whether or not that is accurate, I think there is a fair point to be made that the little bumps and knocks a well-used helmet takes over time will eventually compromise it.
This helmet was built 3/22, so it would have been due before too long anyway. I also ride a lot and sweat heavily during our humid summers, so it was starting to get kind of gross.

I need to buy a new helmet. Especially because I’m on blood thinners and a brain bleed won’t stop by itself.
I had two bike falls last year, both stupid. Hit a parked car, the only parked car in that whole street so it just didn’t register and I was talking with by friend until I saw it, and I was too close. The second one was when the bungee cord of my front basket came loose and the hook got stuck in my wheel until my front wheel blocked completely and I went over the handle bars. In both cases my body hit the tarmac, but my head didn’t. But there was some extreme quick de-acceleration involved so I probably had some light concussions. And the most amazing bruises.
New helmet time.

Two detectives from The Wire in a shadowy room with the caption “Yo dickhead, where you been at?”
We’ve been rewatching The Wire
rated TV-MA for extreme dollhouse action
(i really need to go back and watch the rest of it someday when i have HBO again)
Huh, interesting. I've also felt the pull to rewatch The Wire lately.
Someone - either Alan Sepinwall or at the AV Club - once wrote a review I've never forgotten, which was that "Deadwood", "Sopranos" and "The Wire" best represented America because they showed America at its different stages (slightly out of order in terms of when the shows aired): Deadwood its uber capitalistic, corrupt birth while also mired in a sense of community and wrong vs right; Sopranos in the middle of its lifespan, flailing about in the result of what won the aftermath of its birth; and Wire as its inevitable decline and death, showcasing how very much the sins of capitalism, lack of moral care, and thus the immoral choices in its birth led to its bitter end. At the time I thought it a rather over the top characterization - hey, I had come up through the 90s, when everything did seem like it could only get better, even though I was naive about the rot and Reaganism underneath - but now I understand that commentary in a way I didn't then.
Anyway, lately I've been thinking about that a lot. As great as The Sopranos was, I really do think The Wire and Deadwood capture America in a way very few pieces of media have . . . and of the two, perhaps in that desperate way we use media to undestand our world - only in this case I find my attempt clawing and mewling to fully comprehend what's happening - The Wire is to what I've returned.

A great rewatch.
@williwaw That's an interesting thought so I had to go look it up! Thanks for sharing. I think it was this podcast: https://web.archive.org/web...
I'm definitely overdue for a rewatch as well.
I first watched The Wire right around the time Season 5 was wrapping up, after hearing a lot of "greatest show ever made" discussion in multiple places. I had heard it was bit of a slow burn, and my impression as I worked my way through season 1 was that the show was just a well-done, very interesting police drama - very good, but not quite living up to the hype.
*possible spoilers* Then a thing happened at the end of E10. That's when I realized just how much I had gotten to know (and care about, and empathize with) the characters. Not just the one the thing happened to, but the others who portrayed panic and fear in a way I don't think I've ever seen on a television show or movie. Never have I been happier to be watching something on demand where I could move to the next episode - that must have been absolutely brutal for anyone who had to wait a week.

@williwaw Really interesting, and jibes with how i feel about the Wire, the many subplots all have that similar theme of displaying the consequences from a history of choices. I haven't seen Deadwood, might have to remedy that after we finish this rewatch
Just finished “the Boroughs” on Netflix with Clark Peters and I immediately thought it’s time to rewatch The Wire.
Omar coming!

@ardgedee If you'd like to give something similar a try, every year for the last few years friends abroad have been sending me a box for Xmas (like this https://mltshp.com/p/1O5YW) but I never manage to get through it all in time before it starts to dry out*. So I've taken to giving the leftovers a quick pulse in the blender to make 'em chunky and then make very heavily loaded vanilla ice cream/gelato/frozen yogurt with the chunks, and it's DELICIOUS.
*only because I'm a greedy gus who opens all the packages to try them all out at once instead of eating one kind at a time like a logical person

fwiw I've had three or maybe four of the licorices in that photo. The weirdest get was probably the Rheila, which I found at a flea market booth of a vendor selling Amazon discards*. $1 for a bundle of three packs... I keep one on my desk and treat them like breath mints.

@ardgedee Yeah, I make it a lot!! It works well on its own, especially after a hot day, but I've found the ice cream version pairs well with gingersnap crumbles or any kind of citrus zest on top, and my husband particularly likes it paired with almonds or mint. We both like it with some lingonberry jam or cranberries (with just a touch of orange zest) if the season is right.
Also I have to admit I've splashed some orange liqueors and once even some brandy in the bowl with the ice cream, which admittedly only makes sense if you think of - and like - cocktails like a corpse reviver or sazerac.

My department has invented a cryptid called The Grumpsch and over time more and more lore develops around it. A group of them is a Violation of Grumpsch, and they subsist largely on Grumpscht, though if they are particularly upset at someone they will hide behind a sherb (due to someone misspelling shrub on a document) and attack. The only way to fend them off is to stand arms akimbo.
We may need to find more interesting work.

a four panel comic, depicting a stylized purple ghost with antlers carrying a puffy orange cloud labeled "feeling". in the second frame, it walks up to a machine labeled "feelings processor", which is rusty and covered with cobwebs. in the third frame, the ghost carries the cloud over some kind of enclosed closet or door, bulging with other clouds, tentacles, and branches. in the last frame, the ghost is saying "i'll deal with it later" and shoves it into the crowded space.

The Cheney Sentinel, Kansas, May 29, 1913
I would love to see this apparently regular newspaper factoid feature revived.

Coulda sworn there was a Tumblr or Blogger account dedicated to the topic, because there was a period in the late '00s when these were frequently circulating.

most of your arm would be frozen solid, anyway
Sensory pain (type III sensory fibers sending signals to nociceptors of neospinothalamic tract) travel at 3 - 30 m/s ( ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ). I'm guessing the increased speed is from the wider fiber diameter, which I presume are pretty large for a person's hands and fingers, so let's presume the higher velocity.
1 AU == 149597870700 m
You'd feel the pain a little over 158 years later.

A picture of my Soul Red 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF with the top retracted. It is parked on a parking lot facing to the left in front of a lake. There is a sun setting behind the car with the sun and horizon visible through the window and open top.

I got this on the mail today. My final payment was made by auto-withdrawal yesterday. It is actually mine. 🎉
On another note, Google stuff is getting worse by the day. Google photos on my Pixel decided to be weirder than usual about cropping a photo to not include my home address or the car price on it and saving it. I used Firefox and tried to upload the crowd photo and the phone gave some error about the picture not being available. I thought it failed. I was wrong. It successfully uploaded the uncropped photo with my address and car price, and I didn't figure it out until an hour or two later. I deleted it but now I'm afraid the AI now knows where I live.

A hotel room toilet in the middle of the room and in full view from the hotel door and the bed. It is trapped in a glass cylinder that looks like it might also be a shower.

I need this on the back of a hoodie.
C'est moi.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 I totally thought this was a back-of-the-neck tattoo
@jpk I saw it that way too!
