Is this where marshmallows come from?
@Argie
I mean…
Clouds ➡️ rain ➡️ crops ➡️ livestock ➡️ gelatin ➡️ marshmallows
So, technically, yes?

The quote says, "If you had a dollar for every Trans Woman competing in college sports, you still wouldn't be able to afford a gallon of diesel."
Sadly so. And sad for the cost of everything else.
If it makes anyone feel slightly better, here in Australia Diesel is running at approx $10.90 a gallon (I converted from litres for you cos I'm awesome) and Unleaded at around $8.90 a gallon. That's in AUD so in USD...
Cost of fuel in Australia per gallon in USD
Unleaded in USD $6.20
Diesel in USD: $7.60
Thanks Trumplethinskin

But if I had a dollar for every dumb-fuck transphobic shit-gibbon pretending they give a single fuck about women's sports, I'd be fucking rich.

gold foil bass finished
alt text
Wooden bass guitar with alternating dark/light/dark wood, a dark wood neck, and a single pickup that has a chrome cover and gold foil accents.
Some small finishing details to do, but it's a complete working bass now. I only have an hour of playing on it so far, but i like it - it's comfortable to play and at least on my little practice amp sounds great.
The project started with the pickup, a re-creation of the gold foil pickups used on 1960s Harmony (and some other) basses. I bought the neck from an eBay seller but modified it a bit for my preferences and to fit the body. The body i built from scratch, it's sapele and maple, with a very thin amber varnish finish. Body shape is a fairly close copy of an aluminum-necked Kramer bass. There's only 1 knob for volume, there's a static tone circuit that's the same as if the tone knob was always turned fully up.
I'll have the first band practice with it tonight, and will probably let it settle in a bit before bringing it to shows. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, just what i was hoping for when it was still just a graph paper drawing earlier this summer.

Gorgeous!
Woo!

damn, i love this whole look- the body shape, the wood grain and staining, the "racing stripe" inlays, all of it!
what is the pickup you chose?

There's definitely a quest to be acquired in that box.

@dreyfusslugado
Based on the context, I would argue that the occupant of the box has already completed all the quests he’d set out to achieve.

square collage of four images:
1) a ginger cat sitting in a shopfront window, looking downward.
2) several old doorbells on a wall, with some brick visible in the bottom corner.
3) the silhouette of a man wearing a cowboy hat standing on the roof of an office building
4) a vivid sunset sky, with pinkish clouds behind the silhouette of trees, telephone poles, and wires. a waxing crescent moon is visible between the telephone wires

A color illustration of a giant Batman robot (with rivet-studded fists and stubby wings; a yellow oval with Batman logo is on its chest and it's wearing a cowl) stomping through a flaming city, kaiju-style. Searchlights light up the night sky. Its eyes are glowing and it is grimacing.

Raadhuis Schiebroek, last Friday. Relic of a past long gone now.
not gonna lie, i spend way too much time stopping and looking at old meters like this.
also, would play a gigantic bass monosynth in OVERWERKTIMER

@nikkuneko I bought a panic stop fixture off eBay for similar reasons. The label under the button reads: PULVERIZER. Still waiting for the thing to appear that I'll mount it on.

Art With a Plug
alt text
A group of adults building sound circuits. An illustration of a circuit powered by a 9V battery is projected on the wall
I developed a workshop to teach art conservators about electricity and electronics with NYU's Institute of Fine Art titled "Art With a Plug". Originally a 5 day intensive, then a hybrid asynch/synch month-long online version for a few years, and now back IRL with the conservation team at the MoMA for the next 2 weeks.
Everyone builds a sound circuit on a breadboard, then moves to a fixed version on a protoboard. After using Forrest Mims' "Stepped tone generator" (aka Atari Punk Console) for the online sessions, I returned to the Cracklebox for this edition.
To my utter joy and surprise, every team got the circuit up and running in a little under an hour. They had to learn to solder, follow a schematic, work with a multimeter, and get comfortable improvising when recreating an artwork. Super excited to see what they do for next week.

I did not have "Stevie Wonder dropped four unreleased songs from the 'Songs in the Key of Life' sessions that have been sitting in his vault for 50 years" on my bingo card for today. Holy cow!
unreleased recordings get eaten by spiders georg after 50 years
KEXP was playing a whole bunch of Stevie yesterday which immediately led me to think the worst...only to pleasantly surprised...NOT DEAD! JUST NEW SONGS! WOO!
@homerj Probably the same reason these songs came out—yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the release of Songs in the Key of Life.

Phil Hartman was so good. No knock on Sally Field here, whose acting is perfect in this
I am not sure how i have never seen this , or even heard about. It must have ruffled some feathers in the 80’s? 90’s?
Both of them were perfect.

Interesting, I hadn't seen or heard of this sketch either. Doesn't feel quite fully baked or tight enough but Hartman can make me laugh with just a look of his eyes.
Fuck Andy Dick for giving Brynn cocaine.

A strange figure wanders across a barren hillscape. The figure is shaped like a hill itself, with one large green eye on the front and a windup key sticking out of its back. It is carrying a suitcase, and has a glowing white halo above its head. The painting is predominantly shades of burgundy, but the figure is lit from behind by a tinge of greenish light. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Very curious about the meaning/symbolism behind this one. Can you talk a little about your thought process here?

A close up photo of a loaf of bread on a cooling rack. The bread is dark brown and covered with toasted flakes of wheat bran.
It's not 90 degrees out, so I'm now willing to turn on the oven and bake some bread.

An animated gif of a skater doing a slow loop around an empty swimming pool.

I love that the angle of the lighting is just so such that the skater’s shadow is always in the lit portion of the bowl. Never fully in the shadow of the lip, never outside the lip on the other side

Where the F does this loop start & end! It's flawless.
