screengrab of "The Newlywed Game" game show: contestants are arranged in couples, four to each side of the stage, in front of light-colored curtains. At the bottom text reads "RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES"
yeah, real mature
Only mature audiences can handle the "woopie"
finally a bumper sticker that gets me

A tall, blue figure wearing something that looks vaguely like a uniform stumbles forward awkwardly, brandishing a long sword. The figure wears boots and has the head of a robot, with a flat mouth and staring blue eyes. Perched on its back, one finger pointed forward, is a short, red, demonic-looking creature with a conspicuously fake white halo fixed to its head. The background is a bright yellowish-red. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Today in MN. Legal Observer is assaulted.

Two fascist thugs wearing masks hold a man face-down to the asphalt, pinning him to the street. A third fascist thug sprays chemical irritant in to the face of the man on the ground from only six inches away. the orange spray is cascading down the man's temple, nose, face, and cheeks, and is pooling on the ground.
Three fascist thugs pin a legal observer to the ground and spray him with an unknown chemical irritant at extremely close range. This happened today, Jan 21, 2026 at 28th and Blaisdell Avenue S. in Minneapolis.

I'm liking this but just this once I wish it could be "Appreciate While Also Feeling Rage"
JFC. Evidence for a ripping civil suit, but the assailants are masked. FUCK this entire organization.
@jer I understand. I don't 'like' it either, I will understand all 'likes' to mean "JFC, WTF, fuck ICE with a saguaro, and this needs to be seen, so I'll punch this button so it makes it to 'best of' and other people will see it"

I just got an external hard drive to replace a dead backup drive like it's the dark ages because SSDs are more than double what i paid for one last year.
I'm just waiting for the chickens to come home to roost on this entire damn equation. It won't be pretty.

New Bike Day

Blue fat-tire mountain bike leaning against a tree.
That didn’t take long.
After selling my too-small Salsa Mukluk fat bike a few weeks ago, and discovering how little I liked riding my full suspension Yeti in the snow (https://mltshp.com/p/1RHUL), the search has been on for another fat bike. I didn't want this to be a big investment with our variable winters, so I set a budget of $1k.
The search started with a few frustrating weeks of marketplace. The few bikes on there in my size (when sellers bothered to list a size) were way overpriced, too far away, worn out, really old, or were of questionable quality to begin with. I also missed a lot of good new bike sale prices over the last few month. Some were selling under my budget, and many others at close to the prices people were asking used.
I decided to look for something new, and planned to wait for another sale - but also look around to see if any sale prices were still hanging around. I found the bike at the top of my wishlist - a Salsa Heyday - for not much more than I budgeted at a shop three hours away. They had my size, the shop was reputable, so I jumped on it. My friend owns a shop and will sell to me at cost, and this was somehow still cheaper.
The Heyday is just a renamed Mukluk, but a lot has changed in ten years. The old bike had a 2x drivetrain, with the front derailleur almost touching the tire in certain gears. The wheels were heavy, QR, couldn't really go tubeless, and had old axle space standards. Tire clearance was only 4", so replacement options were limited. The new bike fixes all of these shortcomings. The frame, tires, and wheelset are all quality with not much reason to ever upgrade. I was little weary of the 1x9 Microshift Advent drivetrain. Though cheap, it seems to have a reputation for being pretty tough. That actually feels like a feature on a bike that will get crashed often and see road salt.
I haven't ridden much yet, but the fit feels excellent so far. Just as important, with a fat bike back in the fleet, I'm out of excuses to not go riding more often.

Nice bike! I'm a fan of 1x drivetrains.
I recommended a Heyday to a friend last Fall and he's been absolutely loving it on his mixed trail/path/road commute to and from work everyday.
@wjcstp Thanks! 1x is definitely the way to go with the wide range on modern cassettes.
@samh I'm convinced nobody makes better do-everything bikes than Salsa.

I don't post a lot of personal stuff on here, but I felt this was a big deal. We had to say goodbye last fall to our beloved dog of 15 years. After several months of mourning, we by chance were offered to take on this scrappy 1 year old. We are already very much in love. Welcome home, Rufus.
incredible face, Rufus, 12/10
Rufus looks like quite the boss.
Now THAT is a countenance to be reckoned with.

Single panel from a comic book. A close-up of a young Asian woman with short hair, wearing a pink-and-black costume with a yellow jacket over it and pink sunglasses pushed to the top of her head. "There's a lot of hate in the world. Whatever you are. Whenever you can. You can fight back."

Sometimes I have to shake myself out of not wanting to work in the morning by doing something creatively easy and dumb. This was today's idea.
Me too.
I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.

I had a music teacher, in like second or third grade, who explicitly told us that songs don't have to make sense. That bit of permission stuck with me in a way little else from that period has.

LACMA has relatively a lot of pieces, in this case it is good, as ISIS destroyed the area.
This is worth a drive.

I've recently gotten very interested in these guys. The lamassu (Assyrian winged bulls/lions with human heads) are very cool as well, but their role is one of guardian, guarding important places.
These guys are more like sages (sometimes human, sometimes demigods) who mediate between humans and the divine and perform sacred purification rituals, seems like.

A tweet by amy nguyen, reading
COWORKER: We need to find the root cause ASAP.
ME: *takes a long drag* the root cause is that our processes are not robust enough to prevent a person from making this mistake.
COWORKER: amy please not right now.

The tweet itself is now protected but I find myself wanting to refer to it about once a month.

This sums up why AI is doomed, and we are even more doomed for trusting it.
People quit asking what the root cause was. I almost always started with something procedural, managerial, or corporate-cultural
"we aren't staffed for some of this complexity" is never a helpful comment, but it's ALWAYS fun

Update: Stopped at 70. The free pantry on our block goes through about ten a week, the other distributions, about the same.
Good thing I have more red filament coming.
