Hilarious. And I read that in his voice.
Reuters recently DID unmask him. Two guys that work together. One was Robin Gunningham, who started out as a stencil artist under the name Robin Banks, which became Mr. Banks, which became Banksy. The other is Robert Del Naja (frontman of Massive Attack). They worked together and separately. Banksy says that De Naja is the better illustrator, by far. So does Banksy’s former agent.

@Davezilla I maintain that there is a secret army of "Banksy's" trained in secret by Damien Hirst. It's like James Bond or the Dread Pirate Roberts. The original Banksy sold out years ago, now Hirst is gleefully living out his Warhol fantasies funded by his ill-gotten millions. I have no proof and I'm trying to make conspiracies fun again. Thank you for picking up my poorly xeroxed newsletter.
@d09m4t1c I appreciate you

Another pic from my current research project on Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia.
This one titled: This bonkers 16ft toothpick surfboard is pictured in 1955 with champion board paddler John “Artie” Shaw alongside a Cottesloe SLSC pennant.

That you can see the wood grain on that makes me shiver at heavy this board must have been (to modern boards).
He's got those guns not from surfing/swimming but from hauling that board around.

I wish Moz hadn't morphed so thoroughly into his final, asshole form. The songs are so good. This is so good.
@B6FA798A3449 yeah, it's depressing, especially considering how much i love their work. but on the upside, i read somewhere that morrissey is trying to sell his stake in the smiths! (and, at least the other three are/were seemingly pretty diametrically opposed to his asshattery)
plus, i mean, people making the music their own makes it all worth while.

low-resolution GraphicsGrid of MoonPhase, in a 5x10 layout. each moon icon has a year printed over it.
fiddling with a visualization to avoid being a productive member of society.
phase of the moon at my exact time of birth for each of my first 50 birthdays. this year happened to be a waxing gibbous; looks like i can look forward to a full moon on my 45th and 48th.
just a chunky-assed low-res rasterizing of a chunky-assed low-res icon with system-default text for the time being. going to try to find a way to output it in a higher resolution later (when i don't have to be half-prepared for meetings)
EDIT: re-ran this in the afternoon and got a much better visualization:

Cover of 1920s magazine Radio Craft showing a tuxedoed man playing a new instrument called the Marimbalite by shining handheld flashlights at two arrays of glass bulbs or sensors arranged before him as if they were the white and black keys of a piano keyboard. His facial expression is one of smug superiority.
i would love to play the f*ck out of this thing - and it would likely be completely unplayable.

GraphicsGrid of MoonPhase icons, each one representing the moon phase on a birthday. over each icon is a number in futura font, denoting which birthday said moon phase was. across the top is the title "first 50 birthday moon phases"
tried rendering https://mltshp.com/p/1RMG2 again, with a few fixes.
still renders the first few digits a wonky size, but i'm not putting any more energy into this today.
WL code to generate the basic image grid:
GraphicsGrid[
Partition[
Table[ImageCompose[
Rasterize[MoonPhase[DateObject[{*(yourbirthyear)* + n, *(yourbirthmonth)*, *(yourbirthday)*, *(yourbirthhour)*, *(yourbirthminute)*}], "Icon"],
RasterSize -> 500, ImageSize -> 500],
Rasterize[Text[Style[n, FontFamily -> "Futura"]],
RasterSize -> 100, ImageSize -> 100, Background -> None]], {n,
50}], 5]]

A bowl of baked beans and corn sits on a colorful glass cutting board on my kitchen counter. In the corner are the handle of a brayer and a print I’m working on right now.
Beans-and-corn.
When I was a kid this was one of the least expensive ways my parents found to get big bowls of complete protein to three kids.
My dad would get cheapo baked beans and add frozen corn and then add ketchup and mustard and barbecue sauce and brown sugar. I used Busch’s instead (ROLLLL that beautiful bean footage), but still ended up adding a little bbq sauce.
It was filling and hot and delicious and the corn adds both sweetness and more texture than just the smooshy beans on their own.
Even my kid who doesn’t like baked beans not only liked it, but spent a bunch of time talking about how much he liked it, so that’s kind of fun.

My version of this uses the frozen corn that has other veggies in it like bell peppers and onions (*not* peas & carrots) , often called something like "Southwestern" depending on the brand, mayhap you'd like that as well?
(Sometimes I add some cumin & chili powder for an "instant chili" if you will.) Then if you have leftovers throw an egg on in the morning and/or put some in a tortilla for insta-burrito.

@williwaw that all sounds good! Tonight it was mostly just for nostalgia’s sake, and m’lovely wife doesn’t love beans, so the fact that she’s out of town is the only reason I was happy to make it this evening’s entree, so prolly won’t riff on it much moving forward. 😂
That said, I DO love bean tacos/burritos!!

In these parts, that's called succotash.
I still make what my Mom called "beef and rice fiesta," two cups dry rice cooked, one pound frozen kernel corn, and one pound browned ground beef, the cheapest you can find. Spice to taste. She likely only did salt and pepper but I also add garlic powder, onion cumin, and smoked paprika. If I am fancy I will brown onions and peppers before doing the meat.
This and vegetable soup are my two “I don’t want to cook but need to eat something” meals. I doctor mine in numerous and sundry ways with spices, celery, and water chestnuts.
I had canned corn, ranch beans, with a splash of garlic and basil marinara; cold, for late dinner, last night.
I’m loving that this theme rings true for others, too! ❤️🎉

This image is the cover of an issue of "Cerîde-i Adliyye" (The Justice Gazette), published by the Ministry of Justice in Turkey in 1926. The publication dates back to the Ottoman era and continued into the early years of the Turkish Republic. The image represents a sophisticated use of data visualization techniques, which were quite advanced for the time.

black and white image of a tired-assed middle-aged mostly-caucasian hipster doofus taking a selfie in a motorcycle side mirror. he is wearing a flannel shirt, windsor frame eyesglasses, and a stocking cap
spent the weekend checking in on my parents after their town was hit by (positively massive) hail and a tornado.
i was so relieved to discover that they were left mostly untouched when neighbors had totaled cars, broken windshields, broken roofs. hail did end up piercing their roof in one spot, but thankfully no water got through.
the hail did do some damage to my dad’s gigantic truck, which is a bit of a point of contention. he hasn’t been able to walk well since his stroke last year, let alone drive, and yet he keeps holding on to that truck. i want him to have a rehabilitation goal to work toward, but watching it rust in the driveway while they continue to pay insurance on it seems like such a waste. same with his motorcycle, the mirror of which you can see here.
since i didn’t have broken glass to clean up or windows to board up, i was able to do some cleaning for my mom, who is really overworked right now. there’s a balancing act between letting her cede enough control to be able to do things for her, keeping her easily-bruised pride intact, and keeping my cool with her distractability and avoidance dances. it’s slow work getting there, one piece at a time, but we are building to something.
i’m in a quiet place in my own life at the moment, but i know i need to take a lesson from my interactions with my mom - stop avoiding things, stop being too proud to ask for help. it’s time to unpack some tasks for myself so i can do better for them as they need more help.
anywho, that’s-a-me, that’s where i am. maybe next time you’ll get some pics of my still-intact lego creations i unearthed in their attic instead of my wrinkled-assed mug.

Griffith Observatory. March 17, 2026. First time visiting. Temp was about 85F.
I used to bike up there every so often and walk around the promenade on the front side of the building. I *adore* the Observatory.
A peoples palace of science. Beautiful
There was a series of Big Letter postcards I didn't buy there in the 90s that I still regret. Otherwise , no notes ans try to work in a visit on the rare occasion I get to LA
