phone pic: a rainbow forms over the university of illinois’ gies college of business building. behind it a dark rain cloud is unleashing curtains of rain on another part of the town.
snapped this while working (read: staring at a half-finished notebook until the clock ran out) yesterday afternoon. forgot to upload until just now.
truest spring midwest vibe, watching it absolutely pour half a mile away while the sun shines on you (or vice versa)

A comparison image. The top shows a frayed and broken white smartphone charging cable with the text "They need to make these." The bottom shows a sturdy, green coiled telephone cord with the text "As strong as these."
The Verge's offshoot Version History had a piece on the Western Electric 500 and at one point came to the conclusion that since At&t was a monopoly at the time, it made good economic sense to build the phones as solid as possible!

Back on my Luddite bullshit
alt text
Five CD cases arranged in a grid, cover-side-up. Albums from Leon Bridges, Deftones, Czarface, Gorillaz, and Nathaniel Rateliff.
Stopped buying physical media in 2014 and what felt right then feels less so today. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get back to a full collection of albums, but I am happy with a short stack of good music in my life again.
The liner notes for the new Gorillaz are great.

@patd I hear ya
I'm waiting for a new CD player to be delivered. I haven't played a CD for more than a decade now and I'm looking forward to diving into my collection (which has been ruthlessly thinned) as much as I am looking forward to buying new music while avoiding apps, itunes and sundry downloading bullshit.

@roonie Its nice. The constraint of "oh I have loaded this album into a player" is enough for me to commit to listening to something as a whole and not just keep hitting the skip button constantly.
I sold all my CDs at a garage sale around 2014. Figured physical media was dead and why am I hauling this shit around. Within 6 months, I ended up in a record store and realized I missed records.
A decade later we’re thinking of moving/downsizing and am torn on what to do with all these records, CDs and cassettes I now have again.
But glad I have them.

3 stacked images with text. The first image says, "my brush" with an image of chopsticks. The second says, "my paint" with an image of what looks like pho or ramen. The final image says, "my canvas" next to a clean, white t-shirt.

An animated image zoomed in on the pale concrete of a sidewalk, a smattering of small dark dots grows more plentiful as additional unseen drops join their brethren on the pavement.
Was walking the dog in a brief light rain, and loved that it felt like the dark spots appeared on the sidewalk spontaneously rather than being the result of the raindrops. ❤️💧☁️

A dark scene: a sky heavy with dull, greenish clouds. Looming up against the clouds are oddly shaped industrial structures: irregular, precarious-looking arrangements of blocks and pipes. They have a few small glowing greenish windows, white lights, and smoking chimneys. In the foreground is a dock jutting out over foggy water. The dock is illuminated by a single greenish street light. Racing towards the street light is a person. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Wow. Also, wooow!

The Big Wing
alt text
Via NASA Newsletter
"NASA and Boeing have finished wind‑tunnel testing on an advanced aircraft concept known as the truss‑braced wing. This design uses an ultra‑long, slender wing supported by aerodynamic trusses, a configuration that could significantly cut fuel use and lower operating costs for future commercial aircraft.
Originating from NASA‑supported aeronautics research, the transonic truss‑braced wing has progressed from an early idea to a viable design through step‑by‑step collaboration."

If they don’t call this the Flying Buttress I don’t know what my tax dollars are even for.

No to Nazis in West Brom

A black and white photo at a demonstration. In the foreground, a Black man wearing a track jacket with two-tone hair is looking at the camera, holding a sign that reads "No to Nazis in West Bromwich / 28 Aprill 4PM Hardware Street". Next to him, one arm around his shoulder, a white man with a shaved head wearing a sweater is mugging for the camera.

fire station tool bench
alt text
A tool bench in what looks to be a very old workshop. There is a box of rags on the right hand side and a pegboard on the back and there is a line of maybe 10 to 15 wrenches all in order of size. There is a distinct glowing light shining down from the top.
A friend of mine is a volunteer firefighter and took me on a tour of the fire station. This is the tool bench in the very back of the building.
Wrenching, is a thing. Volunteering, even better.
That must be some heavy duty pegboard
I can only find three roofing screws that appear to be holding it to the wall behind it so I'd say you're absolutely correct, @BennyTheIcepick !
