1.5 second animation of a star-filled sky with stars slightly moving and a few planes and satellites zipping across
I had to convert the original MP4 that my phone generated to a GIF so it lost a bit of detail

I've considered adding "Do you want me to punch this up a bit?" at the bottom of my CV.

a tall man dressed in black with a dark hat and face covering stands in a cobbled street holding a wooden sign.
Written on the sign, and giving off considerable smoke, are the burning words
"you're not alone"

Sorry for your loss, even one that's so far gone. It's a striking photo and now I'm curious to learn more about Paul's artwork
Randomly, my friend Naeem was in that exhibition in the source link.

To live in hearts that love is not to die.
@dphiffer some of Paul's work is still out there, but the online exhibits have mostly fallen away. A lot of non-theist questioning (both his adoptive parents were missionaries, and Paul spent a couple of years in Cairo with them), and some of the work is dark, but more is funny and silly. His widow also teaches art at college level, and she's been curating a lot of his work over the years.

ngl "Grips" is a pretty cool nickname
@snarkout The guy from Death Grips?
@ardgedee If he's been hanging out with Sundries and Equipment, hell yeah.
@snarkout but don't hang out your equipment. You might get punched in the sundries.

Meme from The Simpsons
<Bus driver is driving the bus>
“Don’t make me tap the sign.”
<Bus driver’s hand tapping a sign>
“The only dems who will get my vote will have to commit to holding all of these fascists accountable. It’s non-negotiable.”

Color photograph of buildings in New York on a sunny day with puffy clouds in the sky. In the background is a stone-clad skyscraper (and behind that an even taller International Style building). In the foreground is a six-story building that has been wrapped and decorated to look like a stack of five pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage.

@gormat We must RETVRN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
Now that, I like!
I think their Paris store had similar scaffolding when we visited a couple of years ago.

Take that, Longaberger Basket building!
@gormat +++
Why only the scaffolding? If this was the actual building it would be great and whimsical and I’d consider shopping there.
(That is a lie, I hate LV and don’t buy things with logos or tear them off. Even off the Michael Kors sweater I found at Goodwill a while ago and which label on the outside turned out to be integrated in the knitting so I had to repair two holes. My Jean-Paul Gauthier bathing suit is a toss up. Maybe because it’s whimsical.)

Radioactive kids toy, you used to send off for, with cereal boxtops.
What it says on the boxtop.
okay, wow, TIL:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-che...
https://www.snopes.com/fact-che...
"we'll fix it in post"
TIL it's possible for there to be a non-toxic quantity of Polonium-210.
@dreyfusslugado I think maybe what we learned is exactly how dangerous it is to not have scientists and regulations protecting us from our largest feats of idiocy.
@nikkuneko this also sent me down the wikipedia / snopes rabbit hole.
So this is apparently "true", yet it contained "not enough to be harmful", yet...
... with a half-life of only 138 days that makes me wonder if it "isn't harmful" because by the time a child mailed away box tops and got the toy in the mail, the tiny quantity has decayed for so long that it doesn't even really still exist as polonium anymore.
At which point... would the "flashing" effect even still be happening? after a few months that ring is just a chunk of lead.
which... also shouldn't be in a child's toy, but...

We had a neighbor keeping chickens and a rooster for a while. The chickens would respect the low wire fence they'd put around the pen but the rooster wouldn't, and he would usually cross the woods and end up in our yard. I had to herd him back to their property a couple times.

A funny-face disguise: a nose the approximate shape and color of a carrot; thick, black-rimmed glasses; and bushy eyebrows and a mustache. Fixed to the disguise is a glowing white plastic halo on a stick. The disguise is placed on a gray background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Guided by Sámi herders and ancient instinct, this seasonal movement reflects a rhythm older than borders, where survival and culture move as one."

Two middle-aged people sitting on a sofa in a hotel lobby
Semi-annual obligatory Wurster photo
aka "the guy from Superchunk who ended up with a career in music that did not involve running a record company" :)
I visited the used bookstore he worked at a few times (it's gone now) but I honestly couldn't tell you whether I'd met him there because I'm more or less celebrity-blind (Mac McCaughan took my ticket at the gate for a Mergefest and I didn't know it until my wife told me later -- and that guy's like 6'5" or something). Any gossip I've heard about Wurster though always makes him sound like a pretty great guy.

@ardgedee which store? Chapel Hill became so impovershed as a place to walk around and shop in my years there, in 1994, when I came, there was a lot more than T-shirt stores and beer/burger/wings places.
Did he Rock, Rot, or Rule?
I think he'd be the ultimate argument settler for sure.
@foist he's a Libra rising, he avoids conflict like the plague haha
@snarkout ruled like GG Allin
@ardgedee Very random but he once he told me about a Marian apparition book he found at that used bookstore and that book is now one of my favorites. Also it might have been Jim Wilbur taking your ticket because Mac is close to 5'7" - very nice, all of them. P.S. Mac's daughter Oona is a reality icon on some Barstool Sports spring break show, much to her parents' chagrin.
@drurystephanie I am glad he didn't Rot like David Bowie!
@drurystephanie Well, that's how celeb-blind I am. 😅 Although to be fair it was my wife who said it was Mac.
@thelonius Nice Price Books on Broad St. in Durham. The building's a Papa John's now. And yeah I know what you mean -- a dozen years ago we'd head to CH pretty regularly and now we might go a couple times a year. Even Carrboro has better restaurants.

@drurystephanie after I read this I was doubting my own memories, because I thought Mac was of average height. Thanks for keeping us all sane.
@ardgedee @pk @snarkout ☺️
@ardgedee mac blends in with the normies. I dont think hes 6'5 though.

A "propagation station". Like a little book library, but for plant cuttings. A dozen or so little vases on a shelf with plant cuttings.
The misspelling of propagation is a bummer for a neat idea.
@billturner
“Is it PO or PA in propagation?”
“I dunno, better use both”
“Is it PO or PA in propagation?”
“I dunno, better use both”
This is excellent, and I am _enchanted_ that propagation is spelled two different ways.
@wjcstp I didn't even notice that! I was baffled at the extra "pa" in proPAPAgation in the biggest version

For context, Ma'a is one of the all-time great players for the NZ All Blacks. Two time world cup winner for NZ, retired from international rugby after his World Cup triumph in 2015. Now, at 44, he's still playing franchise rugby and suited up against his old team for his current club side in South Africa.
Not only did he return the Haka, but he returned "Kapa O Pango" which was composed especially for the All Black team. This is a pretty unique situation, and a brilliant moment in Ma'a's extraordinary career
Plus, Hakas are awesome
