Three Calvin and Hobbes strips repurposed to be Paul undergoing the test of the gom jabbar from "Dune". In the first, Calvin on the examination table at the doctor's office is approached by the doctor, bearing a box. "What's in the box?" "Pain." In the second, Calvin's mom in the waiting room recites the litany against fear. In the third, in the first panel Calvin yells, "You can contain my body but you can't chain my spirit! Walls can't confine it! Laws can't restrain it! You can try to leave a message but my spirit screens it calls!" In the second panel, loud screaming is heard; Calvin's mother jumps out of her chair. In the third, she asks a disgruntled Calvin, "What did the Reverend Mother say?" He replies, "All history up to this point has been spent preparing the world for my presence."

"About twenty-five years ago, I made an offhand and somewhat uncharitable remark about the Red Hot Chili Peppers. There was no malice intended, it was just the sort of obnoxious thing I would say back then to piss people off. I was a troublemaker, a shit-stirrer, feeling most at ease in the role of a societal irritant. Perhaps it’s an Australian trait among people of my generation, I don’t know, but that comment has followed me around for the last quarter-century. But the most interesting aspect of all this is not what I said about the Chili Peppers, but rather the response from Flea, their bass player. On Facebook, Flea expressed how hurt he felt by my remark, but went on to say, in great detail, that he loved my music regardless. He wrote a profoundly generous and open-hearted love letter to Nick Cave. I remember being genuinely moved by his words and thinking what a classy guy Flea was, and feeling on some subterranean level that I was unable to fully grasp at that point in my life, that Flea was a human being of an entirely different calibre, indeed, of a higher order.
Over the years, I would run into Flea at music festivals where both our bands were performing and see him backstage when we played in Los Angeles. Although we didn’t become close friends, my encounters with him were always pleasant – there was a presence to Flea that felt genuine and oddly affecting. On the Push the Sky Away tour, we asked Flea if he could assemble a children’s choir, from the Silverlake Conservatory of Music he founded, to accompany the Bad Seeds at the Coachella Festival. When Warren and I were on the Carnage tour, we asked Flea to join us and play the song ‘We No Who U R’. Watching Warren and Flea perform together with such heart and mutual regard was a glorious sight.
Last week, Flea sent me a song and asked if I’d like to add some vocals. It was for a “trumpet record” that he is making. It is not for me to divulge what the song was, only that it is a song I cherish more than most, with arguably the greatest lyric ever written, a song of such esteem that I would never have dared to sing it had Flea not asked me to. I went into the studio on Wednesday and recorded my vocals. The track emerged as a beautiful conversation between Flea’s trumpet and my voice, filled with yearning and love, the song transcending its individual parts and becoming a slowly evolving cosmic dance, in the form of a reconciliation and an apology.
My friend, the artist Thomas Houseago, recounted a story involving Flea. A couple of years ago, Flea, his daughter, Thomas, and a guide were hiking through the backcountry of Yosemite. They had been hiking for five days and were walking along a densely forested trail when a bear appeared on the path before them. Everybody froze. The bear was about ten feet away from them. It was a large black bear with a reddish hue. Thomas and the guide gripped their tent poles, perhaps to defend themselves in case the bear attacked. Flea, however, stepped forward, stood before the bear, and spoke to it. He acknowledged they were visitors in the bear’s territory, expressed his love for the bear, and requested permission to continue along the trail. The bear stepped off the path and allowed them to pass."

That "Trumpet Record" was one of the nicer music surprises as of late.
Flea and Chad seem cool
Nice. Adult behavior redeems. Although I do turn the channel when Red Hot Chili Peppers come on the radio. In Southern California, it's like every ten minutes. I just don't ever need to hear them again.

They're all dreadful. but something really innocuous about Perplexity. Maybe the others followed suit.
@poorusher No idea what you’re talking about.
@robotmachine All of the companies have made their ip addresses public.
This means if you are a website admin or host your own site, you can edit configuration files that either block, redirect or serve 404 pages to specific incoming requests. Essentially website owners can prevent AI bots scraping their servers with this configuration (probably the block or redirect as traffic can have an effect on bills for hosting).
However Perplexity lied about their IP addresses. So blocking what they published as their ip address range did not work.
See

https://rknight.me/blog...
https://blog.cloudflare.com/perplexi...
My favourite quote from the first article
"The magic trick that’s made Perplexity worth 10 figures, in other words, appears to be that it’s both doing what it says it isn’t and not doing what it says it is."
I also think that seeing as these companies are so rampant to ingest everything and maybe after the PerplexityAI horseshit, they might also have found ways to try and bypass protocols, firewalls, server rules and so on. A race to the bottom.
Sorry for such a long rant.

Ferdinand and Isabella

This is me and Patricia. We are performing as King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival this year. I make my costumes, and you are looking at an unbelievable amount of my free time over the last few months.
Our theme is "heroes and villains" and our characters started the Spanish Inquisition, so our costuming is very Disney-villain inspired.

State Fair

A photograph of seed art piece for the Minnesota State Fair, styled after Picasso's Guernica. Multiple cubist figures are seen including one, a bearded man holding a cell phone lying on the ground. To the right of the piece an anguished figure throws her hands up holding a sign reading "ICE OUT". A loon, its wings spread, dominates the left side of the work.

Work by Jennifer Nelson.
“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

I'll be there Saturday. If you see a guy with a where's waldo "Find Yourself" shirt feel free to stop me and say hi. It might not be me, but that'd probably be even more fun.
Asking mltshp for ideas

skunk?
So, holy shit. We let our dogs out and a skunk just happened to be at the back door of my house waiting. The skunk sprayed the dogs and the spray got into the house immediately spreading out and seeping into pretty much everything I own. Furniture, walls, clothes, paper, pool stick cases, the little rubber seal on water bottle caps, everything.
I have looked this up on the web and it is basically the same 5 point a.i. list everywhere. But based on every post I've seen on mltshp, I am hopeful that you all may have other ideas for me.
It's been a few days, and we are trying stuff, but it's still a pretty miserable reeking in every room. In comparison, getting the smell off the dogs was simple.
I would love to hear all and any suggestions that you may have tried or heard of that have worked in this situation for the house.

Continuing with the new process of editing the source photo to distort it slightly, and then do the drawing. Old process would be to draw from the source, and then alter the drawing to make a caricature. I like the new process better even though it’s more involved.
I love the idea and I'm reminded of the poster on me-fi who long ago would draw caricatures of idiots. That said, get off twitter
@owl - but that’s I find idiots with ugly faces to draw.

All Seasons Orchard near Woodstock is paying tribute to Dolly Parton with its corn maze in 2026.
A nearby apple orchard revealed their 2026 corn maze depicting Dolly Parton on Tuesday, hours before her death was announced. It's one of 20 Dolly-themed mazes around the country, all planned and designed months ago to be ready for the fall harvest season.
