4-minute time lapse of a Maine sky during a power outage

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

Take a Cutting, Leaf a Cutting

A "propagation station". Like a little book library, but for plant cuttings. A dozen or so little vases on a shelf with plant cuttings.

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.

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

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 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.

I worked for an engineering firm that specialized in utilities. I got to have a tour at a coal-fired electric plant. How they work is shockingly complex and at a scale that is hard to grasp. It took hours to see and walk from the coal coming in by train all the way to the towers where water condensate reclaimed from the steam turbine was cooled for reuse. In between the coal is crushed, powdered, blown into a giant furnace, the exhaust is filtered with miles (literally) of fabric that gets washed, the water is boiled and pressurized into a turbine. They burned a half-mile of coal train every day.

Solar plant: the sun shines on there and electricity comes out of the wires in the back.

Solar beating coal? Yeah. If course it does.

A recent mental journey (Pub Quiz > Nixon Founded the EPA > Wikipedia EPA) resulted in me reading all about the Love Canal disaster which predated/precipitated both the EPA and the superfund list, which made me look up what fly ash was: coal combustion products, which lead me down a coal rabbit hole. I don't know what I expected but the more I learn about coal, the less I like. I cheer its decline.

Photograph of a single yellow slip-on shoe against a neutral background; it's patterned with a very plausible series of dark brown spots arrayed in roughly linear patterns like a banana peel, and both the front (behind the toe, where the tongue would be) and heel have pieces curling off, the heel showing pale yellow silk "flesh" below.

Where their head would be is a rusty wrecking ball with a smiley-face embossed on it. The wrecking ball has temporarily swung into position, and is mid-swing. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
