Jerry, Mark (as Booji Boy), and Bob 1 of Devo at The Complex in SLC.
It only took me 45 years to finally get my ass to see these guys, and it was so worth it! I've been a fan since high school, but have never been able to line my schedule up with theirs. Oh, and I even got a smiley face bouncy ball from Booji Boy!

A sandwich on a plate split in two.
Capocollo (AKA Gabagool)
Tomatoes
Sun dried tomatoes
Provolone piccante
Cream cheese
Capers
Pickle slices
On Tiger bread (SKA Dutch crunch)
As the butter is still not spreading in the current temperature, I melted some in a small pan on the lowest heat and soaked and gently fried the bread, just to give the lightest browning.

Hot tip; when the butter is cold use a vegetable peeler to slice paper thin butter slices that will almost immediately adhere to your(I'm assuming) room temperature bread.
Game changer.

@LocalStain that might even qualify as a Pro tip, coming from you
Skillet-warmed with butter is about my favourite way to prep bread. Fond memories of the (long gone) Mars Diner's banana bread muffins that they split and browned over butter on the griddle. I made some bannock the other day and gave it the same treatment

@scruss when I have time and inclination I butter bread and toast it in a frypan rather than our very nice toaster oven. The texture is so much better and the butter permeates through the whole slice that way.
Still you can't beat the convenience of a good ol' toaster (-oven).

short video clip taking the "harpsichord solo" from the beatles track "in my life" and slowing it down to its original recording speed. video is a still photograph of producer george martin sitting at a keyboard in the studio with paul mccartney standing over his shoulder
i was always a big fan of the novel recording techniques developed by george martin while working with the beatles, but this was something i learned about very recently:
"Martin wrote a Bach-influenced piece that he found he could not play at the song's tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded with the tape running at half speed, so when played back at normal pace the piano was twice as fast and an octave higher, solving the performance challenge and also giving the solo a unique timbre, reminiscent of a harpsichord." [wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...]
full song for reference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch...
the "harpsichord solo" is at 1:28

The cover from a comic book, "Our Fighting Forces featuring the Loseres: Capt. Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner & Sarge". "When the losers take a furlough, it's goodbye Broadway--hello Death! The cover shows four figures in uniform (in in an eyepatch and captain's hat) peering down a circular manhole into a metal-lined vault. There, three hands hold elaborate, Kirby-style firearms pointed at them.

Yesterday, Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger signed a bill into law ending issuance of the license plates honoring Robert E. Lee (the fees for which funded the Sons of Confederate Veterans).

Meme from Muppet Christmas Carol where scrooge asks the boy what day it is.
first panel shows michael caine as scrooge, dressed in nightclothes and wearing a sleeping cap leaning out a window with one finger raised. the caption reads "You there, boy! What day is it?"
second panel shows a wider shot from below, showing more of the building and window of a stone building with snow on a ledge. it is clearly snowing. there is the back of a rabbit visible looking up at michael caine. the caption reads "It's anniversary of Margaret Thatcher's death, sir!"
third panel shows a close up on Michael Caine, he is smiling, showing a gold tooth, as it continues to snow. the caption reads "Then I haven't missed it."

A thin, rickety bridge extends through a raging red and yellow inferno. Marching along the bridge is an eerie procession, led by a person wearing a tall top hat. The person is blowing a trumpet. Behind them, a hulking figure with a windup key sticking out of its back thumps a drum with a red star on it, hung around its neck. In the rear is a small, hunched figure with horns and a tail, playing a saxophone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Seattle folks: Is there anywhere in the area giving away Know Your Rights cards? A friend is on their way there and needed them in the MSP airport. Long shot maybe, but seeing if I can help them be prepared for the trip back.
@mackreed You’re in Seattle, right?
@bencmeissner I’d start with the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, which has been distributing them in a variety of places. Their phone number is at the top of this page: https://waisn.org/resource...
@MackReed Awesome, thank you. Passed this along.

No, no... I am in earnest. Go and buy it, and tell 'em to bring it here, that I may give them the directions where to take it. Come back with the man, and I'll give you a shilling. Come back with him in less than five minutes, and I'll give you half-a-crown!".

Some of these citations are a bit of a stretch. I don't think Starbucks having a large and expensive menu is more than 50% of the way to Starbucks giving you a rub and tug.

If you haven't read Jon Bois' "17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future", let me recommend it. Genuinely one of the greatest and most heartwarming pieces of science fiction from the last decade.

I strongly 2nd this, it's a cool story (whether you like football or not), and an excellent use of the web as storytelling platform.
Jon Bois is a singular genius, and we are lucky to have him.

this was a "Torchwood" episode, right?

art002e009301 (April 6, 2026) – Captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, this image shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun. From the crew’s perspective, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth. The corona forms a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk, revealing details of the Sun’s outer atmosphere typically hidden by its brightness. Also visible are stars, typically too faint to see when imaging the Moon, but with the Moon in darkness stars are readily imaged. This unique vantage point provides both a striking visual and a valuable opportunity for astronauts to document and describe the corona during humanity’s return to deep space. The faint glow of the nearside of the Moon is visible in this image, having been illuminated by light reflected off the Earth.
