"The Cave of Spleen, from an edition of Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock illustrated by Beardsley, 1897." An elaborate portrait-orientation pen-and-ink(?) illustration, with many overlapping figures in Victorian(?) or European renaissance-style clothing. Values of grey are indicated mostly with broad parallel or scalloped lines, following the contour of cloth or hair.

In Bolivia, indigenous women take on professional wrestling identities, and have comical, farsical matches. In this brightly colored image, one woman fkies over anither, who is on the ring floor, facing up. They are called Cholitas, which has now, instead of being a derogatory naming, become a point of pride.
A woman flies over her opponent in a Bolivian cholita wrestling match. This scene reminds me of shamanistic tales of flying, and magical powers.

Photograph showing several buildings of La Grande Motte near Montpellier. The modernist complex was designed by Jean Balladur. Here the buildings, mostly truncated pyramids, poke up out of a foreground of green trees. The buildings appear to be residential.

Image of plastic parts, twine, files, tweezers, pliers, wire snips on a cutting board on a desk
Just turned around from the computer stand to the work desk and saw a great representation of several projects.
I've been printing/placing kodama in the trees around the neighborhood. I've been printing mushrooms and gnomes for the stump. The twine is what I use for lanyards in the ICE Warning Whistle kits I've been making for a couple businesses to distribute. And the spirally thing is for The Project, which is marble-track-clock-puzzle that is a long story I might have told here before.
But here's for a new year of just puttering around.

Facebook gets a lot of things wrong. This, for instance, is more Rodney Dangerfield, than Helen.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 Sing, o muse, of Peleus’ son Achilles, who don’t get no respect.
But yeah, the date is correct- it’s at a museum in Metaponto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...), and os popularly identified as Helen (daughter of Leda and Zeus as a swan), but I suspect it may be Phanes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...)

Did you make this? Really well done
@joost yup! It's actually easy if you already make Sourdough, you just need a piece of string and some scissors https://gingerhomemaking.com/sourdoug...

The tall glass dome ceiling towers high above many lush tropical plants next to a low stone wall next to a paved path in the conservatory on Belle Isle in southeast Michigan.
Holidays at the in-laws in Ann Arbor, MI. Took m’kiddo and his cousin to the aquarium and conservatory on Belle Isle. The aquarium is mostly cool because of the tile rather than the tanks or specimens they contain… but the adjacent conservatory is pretty spectacular. Modest, but full of impressive plants. I’ll post a pic of the magnificent prickly pear in just a minute. Had scavenger hunts for the kids and beautiful plants in every nook and cranny.

// This documentary traces the work of legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, whose dogged reporting exposed cover-ups from My Lai to Abu Ghraib.
Cover-Up is a political thriller that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. Urgent and deeply reported, Cover-Up is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence — revealing a cycle of impunity in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies. Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes, and interweaving primary documents and archival footage, Cover-Up captures the power and process of investigative journalism. //

Several electronic gadgets are sitting on a table. On the top left is a Sony ZV-1 digital camera, to the right is the base model Amazon Kindle, bottom left is a HiBy m300 digital audio player with IEMs attached.
Funny point of order: in an effort to disconnect from social media and the web in general on my bike trips, I'm going to end up bringing MORE gadgets along vs less on my upcoming trip to Tierra del Fuego. I suppose we could say I'm going with the more is less approach or something. All of these could easily be replaced with my phone, but each time I pick up the phone, that's a new opportunity to fiddle, to doomscroll, to waste time, to not be in the moment.
How long will you be on the other side of the equator? Sounds delightful!
@samh I leave on the 9th, fly back on the 27th. I'm riding the Fin del Mundo route, giving myself 8-10 days to ride. 5 days in Punta Arenas, 1-3 in Ushaia, depending on how the ride goes. Should get to see some guanacas, penguins, and maybe some glaciers. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've spent the last two months mega over planning planning gear and not riding nearly enough. Wheeeeeeee
Torres del Paine?
Have a great ride!
Wow this looks like an adventure! is this the route? https://ridewithgps.com/routes...
I am so stoked for you! If you're going to fly a big part of the way around the world to go on an adventure, Ushuaia makes a heckuva good choice in my opinion. I look forward to seeing some of the captures from your little Sony.
Here is the route along with description and photos @0y3ahSansAcut3 @cb

In this eleven panel Sunday strip, Terry says a very awkward goodbye to Jane. She starts to walk to her plane but then runs back through the snow to give him a big kiss to Terry. Then she slowly turns to board her plane and Terry waves goodbye. He walks away, past a sign for a New Year's party that reads "Ring out the old, and ring in the new."

I guess it sells better than “glass/plate that occasionally might not shatter depending on angle and distance of fall.”
Manufacturer: "We do not claim this is shatterproof if you drop it."
Tiktok influencer: "This is so cool, it won't shatter even if you drop it."
Everybody: "The manufacturer says it won't shatter even if you drop it!"

I'm glad he can treat the whole mess as a joke.
Who were the idiot couple in the front row doing their best to make it all about them?
Yes, I saw some of it.
Didn't pay anything to see it.
Saw very early how stupid it was and stopped watching.

True wisdom would be taking the money and running far away from this lifestyle completely, at least by my reckoning. No one ever does it, but why not? Take the bag and dip out for good.
90 million at a very conservative return of 1% is 900k in earnings annually. I absolutely would just retire and spend the rest of my life trying not to become an awful person on social media.
