A very long chart of US military awards and decorations
My grandfather's Legion of Merit is on the top of the missing items list in this house. This is the highest decoration that is given to non-combatant soldiers; my grandfather was awarded it for his work training crews to do photographic analysis and other intelligence work pertaining to invading islands in the Pacific. Mom put it, well, somewhere.
i have two or three of those
I have four or five. I did not get the Good Behavior ribbon.
Virtual fruit fly brains play doom trade bitcoin

Dek for a Scientific American article, "Virtual fruit fly brains can play Doom and trade bitcoin: Reseearchers created a new map of the fruit fly brain. Then the Internet found it." with a small illustration of the new fruit fly connectome.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article...
'“It’s certainly an unexpected application of producing a connectome, but it’s fun, and it puts a spotlight on the research and allows the general public to get an entry into an otherwise complicated and difficult topic,” says Gerald M. Rubin, head of biology at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus in Virginia and one of the researchers behind the dataset.'

Four pictures of progress in the creation of a spoon
I've been intimidated by woodworking, and I thought I'd do a lot worse at spoon making. It took a few hours. I don't like the results, but I learned a lot. I still have finish work to do
I used a Dremel, with a jigsaw for the rough cuts. The wood is lilac from our garden. Fortunately, I have more of that to work with

Looks great, man!
I’ve carved a couple of spoons, but it’s been years and I’d like to get back into it
@wjcstp I hope to use proper tools to carve a spoon, but before I bought them, I thought I'd try some point-n-click Dremel action.

the previous post made me think of my all-time favorite children's book, Mark Stamaty's "Who Needs Donuts?"
YES!
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who's ever heard of this book.

Spicy rum cocktail in a tiki coupe
Today was a pretty spectacularly stressful day at work and tomorrow is saying “hold my beer” - so tonight I’m having the mushroom variation of the best cocktail I ever created.
This is the Ancho Hongo Daquirito
1 oz Sol Tarasco Charanda (Mushroom) Rum
1 oz Ancho Reyes Liqueur
1 oz Lime Juice
1 oz Serrano Simple Syrup

a screencap from "flight of the navigator" in which the young protagonist david sits in the shiny pilot chair of the alien craft, angrily replying "vectors? i don't have any vectors. i'm just a kid!"
screencapped from a watch of "the flight of the navigator" (1986, d. randal kleiser) a few weeks ago when i was laid up sick. somehow still kind of a fun movie, and this line still made me cackle.
(also, EDIT: apologies, i didn't realize how small the subtitles were!)

A large thin crescent and a smaller thin crescent, seen against the blackness of space
"ESCAPADE's twin probes, Blue and Gold, launched on Nov. 13, 2025, when Mars was on the far side of the Sun. They spent nearly a year in a kidney-bean orbit around a point about a million miles from Earth, waiting for the planets to line up. Blue made its closest approach around 5 a.m. EST on Nov. 7, about 1,000 miles up, and burned for roughly nine minutes. Gold followed at 6 a.m."

Paint the Moon
alt text
A two panel comic by artist McLovenstein. In the first panel, an artist is set up with their easel in a nighttime forest glade with the moon hanging above the trees. The artist is saying, "The moon looks amazing tonight! I should paint it!"
The second panel shows the frustrated artist and their finished painting, with the moon an indistinct white dot in the way photographs of the moon invariably look.
