@bencmeissner for over a decade I kept a framed photo of Darwin on my work desk with that quote at the bottom

The 1836 quote would've been written while he was still on the Beagle. He was a martyr to seasickness, despite the years he spent at sea

@MackReed Genuine lol!
One day when I was young, I went with my father and some relative to visit a used car lot a long way away from our house. This was the early 80s sometime and the lot was decorated with long streamers of multi-color flags. On one corner, the streamers were tied on just some light pole. But on the other, it was a giant pen. Fifteen feet tall, made of unpainted and rusted iron, it had a four foot wide circular base and was some kind of fancy pen that had obviously been welded up as an advertisement at some time in the past.
I decided then when I got rich, I would collect very large art versions of things and have a special museum built for them. I am still not rich, so you can't visit my museum yet.

Gravel courtyard surrounded by trees. Seven poles with conical arrangements of ropes are visible. The setting sun is visible in the background through other trees.
"Yukizuri installations have been completed in the Flat Garden and the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation Courtyard."
"…Straw ropes are cast down from a central pole, almost like the frame of an umbrella. The ropes are then tied to branches to help lift them up with the thought being they’ll better withstand the weight of heavy snowfall or frost."

still from a video from the men's curling final, in which the Canadian throwing the stone is very distinctly cheating by giving the stone a little boop with his finger
look, I've been on your side for all of this fucking shit our country has been doing and I've been cheering you on with all the sick moves your gov't's been doing and have even applauded your boycotts of American goods, we deserve it
but this is too much
and then almost getting into a fistfight with the Swedes for accusing you of cheating when you were cheating? DUDE
FRIENDSHIP CANCELED WITH CANADA

I’m watching the match now and the whole Canadian men’s team looks like dickhead bros, with that guy constantly chewing gum.
FULL CONTACT CURLING
Oh, we’re not entirely nice
@clinthouse It's true, I've been in a Windsor cafe full of junior and wannabe mafiosi idling about and staring at us while we get a quick espresso. But even those guys would know better than to try bullshit like this when they know there are cameras watching them from six different angles.
@clinthouse yah don't have to convince me, i saw Marty McSorley play
i wonder if the officials let it slide because it wasn’t over the hog line? still, tho’, sheNANiganzzzz
SORRY (not sorry)
Canada always cheats at curling. I still remember those prairie moosefuckers coming to Scotland in the 1980s and fucking up everyone's rinks with their cornbrooms. Cornbrooms are basically terrible for hurrying stones, but they leave bits of chaff everywhere so can mess up stones unless you're really careful cleaning up. But they were still legal in the 1980s, so Canadians used them as a shitty gamesmanship tactic. They even managed to fuck up the shitty ice at Crossmyloof (my home rink), which was an amazing achievement.
Why do we have hog lines? Because Canadians used PTFE slides and used to hang onto the stone the length of the ice. Cheaty cheaty bastards.
(NB: the above didn't stop me moving to Canada, btw)

augh, I've seen this floating around and haven't been able to discover if it's authentic or not- it looks a little AI - but maybe I'm just using the wrong search terms

each nation would have to compete with native cheeses, and Italy would destroy with those enormous wheels of Parmesan
@wjcstp
Meanwhile the French would make an absolute mess of things with Brie and Roquefort

mmmm, curling
@wjcstp and again it would fall to Ayrshire - the birthplace of curling - to save hapless team GB. A small wheel of Dunlop — a sweet-cream cheddar-like cheese of incredible bunginess — would bounce off everything
It is, indeed, AI. And apparently (as one would expect) something AI pretty much stole. https://www.msn.com/en-us...
Is this a one-off or part of a series? It doesn't have any of the branding developed for the '26 winter games so my charitable read is it's somebody unaffiliated, having fun with the imagery.
And the commentary is by John Cleese and Michael Palin, as their characters from the Cheese Shop sketch.

close up of the frosted rear window of a car. The frost flowers are extremely large, and are almost forming a floral pattern of their own. Some of the crystals are slightly raised, and appear white with the reflected sunlight. Others are more flat, giving a grey or silver appearance.
frost flowers on the back window this morning. I felt bad clearing them off, but I like being able to see road hazards

A Bob The Angry Flower comic, in which an odd-looking anthropomorphized flower explains a new user experience.

The top half of this image is Sunny-D-flavored marshmallow peeps candy, and the bottom half is Dunkin iced coffee-flavored jelly beans.
Was at FiveBelow for a thing for m’kiddo and saw these two. Thought of the Mitch Herbert bit about EZ-Cheez on a night bus - if you eat room temperature cheese squeezed out of a can you probably wouldn’t care if it glowed in the dark - and thought Y’know, sure. Why not? Go off, candy companies!

Four panel comic.
Panel 1:
A fist grabs the handle of a sword that is in a stone.
Panel 2:
A muscle-bound figure lifts up the sword and lightning strikes it. Two hooded figures look on.
Panel 3:
One of the hooded figures says "Finally, a warrior with the strength to wield the sword of legacy code maintenance"
Panel 4:
The muscle-bound person is holding the sword and looks cartoonish now and says "The sword of what?"

You've been seeing this fabulous person, now known as Nor, since they were tinier than you can make out in this image even at full zoom. It's time to order the physical print of this photo so we have it on hand for round SIXTEEN in March, and I realized that (I think) I forgot to share it here last year! Stay tuned for the next one soon.
This is such a fantastic idea.
@bencmeissner What you said!!
Oh, I love this idea!
I did this with iPads for each of my kids birthdays but yours has turned out much better!
@3rdparty the very first one of ours was with an ipad too!
Happy belated quinceañera, Nor!

Oops, forgot I owned a car...
Love the shift point markings.
Ugh, Renault 5. close the door again
@roonie what, they were great cars
@scruss Great, if you liked Renaults. Yes, they sold plenty but, 2 doors, tiny engine and this one appears to be a diesel.
Not wanting to shame anyone but this one's filthy and has papers scattered on the floor. The rego plates aren't even screwed on!

@roonie "papers scattered on the floor"? Dear oh dear. It's also a four door.
1100 cc is enough for anyone. We had a Vauxhall Viva family car with an 1100 engine. It got us where we needed to go.

The view from a Zoom meeting: a dark gray background with two people in the meeting. The video screens are stacked one on the other. The upper person's video screen is completely black, with a small, red crossed-out-microphone icon that indicates they are muted. The label on the screen says "God" in small, white letters. The lower video screen shows a girl with long dark hair and a dark short-sleeved shirt. She is in a small room with a few dimly visible posters on the wall. The entire scene is rendered in shades of pale blue that suggest a dark room lit only by a computer screen. Her name is displayed as "Margaret", and there is a green border around her video screen, indicating that she is speaking. Someone familiar with classic children's novels will recognize this as a reference to the book "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret", by Judy Blume, whose birthday is today. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
