I want to go to there.

Timely, and worth reconsidering: https://www.carrozo.com/guilloti...
Good idea, bad proposal writing. I'd bet it would have passed at least the first round with a better proposal.
"We should have an eggplant emoji because people use it as a visual metaphor for penises" would have kept the eggplant emoji out of Unicode. Instead it was pitched as a popular food. So basically, "We should have a guillotine emoji because people want to murder billionaires" doomed this proposal.

@ardgedee Eggplant was in the original SoftBank/KDDI sets - I don’t think it went through the modern proposal process at all.
This proposal was already doomed, so they may as well lean into the satire.

There's a small mountain on the north edge of Barcelona. The peak is called Tibidabo. There's an amusement park that hugs the side of the mountain. You start at the top and work your way down, then you can either hike back up or take a lift. It was really fun.
We went in the evening and my daughter and I hopped on the ferris wheel right before closing. This is the view facing away from the city.

My daughter, pictured, got her car wrapped and I drive her to pick it up today. She painted the rims. She has "PA5TEL" custom plates that will be here soon.
It is a 2017 Toyota Camry if you are curious.

A chunk of tree trunk standing atop a bigger chunk of tree trunk waiting to be split. Instructions on the screen say "Drag to Rotate * Click to split"

In the foreground, a bicycle loaded for camping is laid down on a rudimentary gravel road. In the mid ground is a mountain valley prairie which gives was to lodgepole pine. In the distance is the snow capped Livingston Range of Glacier NP. It's a very blue day with wispy clouds, especially on the left hand side of the image.
I got out on my first bikepacking trip since the beginning of May. I guess my lungs are mostly good post bronchitis, but holy dang, this one kicked my butt. Day one was 41 mi, with 3600 feet of elevation gain, a bunch of that landing in real punchy climbs. Not pictured is the downed tree mayhem I navigated just over half way in. Lots of hefting my loaded bike up and over (and under) way more downed trees that I was expecting. We had a pretty strong wind storm over winter with unfrozen saturated ground, AKA "a mess". Anyhow, I made it out and back, with this pic showing off the West side of Glacier NP, including the aptly named Big Prairie.
Oooh great mares tales there (cirrus clouds).

A young Dorthy Hamill holds an ice skate in a Polaroid print, flanked by two color bars. The print was copyright Andy Warhol, it was stamped saying such. This image is by me and I refuse to hold or leverage any reproduction rights on any of my work or of any photographs of my work as a matter of principle. Take that as you will. Let the lawyers sort it out. I just share cool stuff.
An SX-70 Polaroid print of Dorothy Hamill by Andy Warhol. Photographed by me, many years ago.

Black-and-white instructional illustration labeled “3.” A person lies on their back beneath a showerhead, lifting their legs over their torso so water sprays the lower abdomen, pelvic area, groin, and inner thighs. Below the drawing is text instructing the reader to shower the lower abdomen, thighs, pelvic region, back, rectum, lower back, groins, and insides of the legs thoroughly. The image appears to be from an older health or hygiene manual.

Sign urging people not to plant bamboo near data centers because it’s so invasive. Sure would be a shame.
Japanese Knotweed is another plant that you really should not plant near data centers.
@dphiffer good tip! Folks, feel free to add warnings + regions where they are most disruptive to the local habitat.
Willows & cottonwoods shouldn't be planted either, as their roots can severely destroy water lines and will travel 20-25 feet looking for water. Especially near data centers that promised not to take water out of the ravaged Colorado River but now are suing to do so.
Also when stressed they send up even more trees so they're devilishy hard to remove. Look for any trees/plants in the poplar and salix genera for natives in your area to avoid these characteristics.
(Please, nobody plant Japanese Knotweed *anywhere* — it will be there far longer than the data center, killing local plants and spreading like a disease.)

I discovered yesterday that the Communist activist and labor organizer Beatrice Lumpkin passed away earlier this month at the age of 107. Her first labor activities were in *1933* at the age of *14* (not as a school project or something; it was the Depression and she was working in a radio tube factory); her mother had been a Triangle Shirtwaist Factory worker and she soon began working for the Laundry Workers Industrial Union and the CIO.
Having moved with her second husband, a steelworker and union organizer, to Gary, Indiana, in the 1950s, she had been a resident of Chicago for almost 65 years and was on the faculty at Chicago's Malcolm X College (where she was a longtime member of the Chicago Teacher's Union). Her autobiography, "Joy in the Struggle: My Life and Love", was published in 2012. A truly remarkable life. See https://medium.com/eldeadli... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki....
Rest in power.

The Ogden River used to enter Great Salt Lake in West Weber, Utah. The lake is virtually gone now with scheming legislators discussing drying up, the North arm of the lake, to facilitate a giant water guzzling data center, while Utah is in drought emergency, recently declared by Spencer Cox, the governor of Utah.

Somewhat related, the 2nd best concert at Red Rocks I've been to (so far) has been R&G! It was so amazing and they fit the venue sooooooooo perfectly.

I like reminding people that this song has wonderful lyrics. Look up the Carmen McRae version.

I’ve seen them a couple times at the Hollywood Bowl. Absolutely magical talent aided by what must be nonstop hard work. Their cover of Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” is a stunner.
@williwaw I saw them at the Sandy Amphitheater in Utah a couple of years ago. It's no Red Rocks, but still pretty amazing!
@owl Thank you! Did not know and it is excellent.

I saw Rachel Lichtman's Programme Four in Portland last month and it was like a guided meditation through an immersive Rockford Files/Columbo/'70s AM radio experience. It's at the Triple Door in Seattle tomorrow and if you can make it I so highly recommend, it lulls you into a Sanka/Lawrence Welk/Price Is Right/Leonard Nimoy-coded state of mind where all the light is amber and your attention span has grown back.
