goodbye my sweet doggie

We lost our sweet, sweet pooches quite suddenly this weekend. We knew it was nearing her time but thought we had a couple more months with her and hoped she'd make it to her 17th birthday in April, so it was somewhat unexpected. We've had her since she was 12 weeks old, when we adopted her from a shelter in Houston, so we're grateful for the 16 and a half years we've had with her. She went everywhere with us and hiked some serious trails and mountains, as well as had some very serious naps hahaha!
The smartest, most independent dog I've ever seen, she deserves an eloquent elegy with some good stories but my heart has been ripped out and I can't type very well at the moment. Of all the dogs I've owned, and they were all good dogs, she was "The Dog." She was my bestest girl.
Her bed has been rolled and tied up and her water dish has a hole drilled into it so no other dog can use it again, and she was buried in a sunny spot which she loved so much.
Thank you for reading. Give your own sweet pups/kitties a kiss on the forehead for me. Y'all are a comfort.
(A quick shout out to our vet - she was very scared of the vet's office so he was willing to come out to the car to put her asleep, which saved her a considerable amount of anxiety at the end, so we are very grateful for that.)

Sorry for your loss. She sounds like a wonderful friend.
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing her with us.
I'm sorry for your loss; it's so hard to lose such a good friend - my heart goes out to you

Line drawing of two people stranded on a tiny desert island with a single palm tree. One of them is standing on the evidently solid "ocean," saying "Hey! Guess what?"'
"Stranded on a tiny desert island with a single palm tree" might be my favorite sub-genre of single frame cartoon, and this one managed to take me by surprise and burst out laughing.

Jesus Christ!
I work for a Comix festival, and my plan/fantasy for this year’s edition is to make an exhibition with just desert island cartoons. It’s a cliché that never stops giving, and I think it’s entirely possible to make an exhibition with 100 cartoons that each really really good. (bit of a hassle to clear the rights though.)

Scene from a comic book in the mid 80s. Captain America at a new stand with a sigh that Theia “THIS AIN'T NO LIbrary” Cap is gripping a new paper.
Captain America says:
NOT AGAIN!
WE BROKE INTERNATIONAL LAW INVADING PANAMA!
NOW WE'RE
BREAKING THE LAW AGAIN WITH THIS FABRICATED
"DRUG WAR!"
WHY
CANT. WE LEAVE LATIN AMERICA
ALONE?
HAVEN'T WE EXPLOITED THEM LONG ENOUGH ?!

Fat bike tipped over in a snowy mountain road. To the right is a dead gnarled tree, to the left, various conifers. Fog obscures the landscape in the distance.
Rode 47 miles through the snow, slush, and mud up and over a mountain pass from Kila, MT to the little town of Hot Springs. After this, most of the ride was through freezing fog, which gave the ride an ethereal feel, passing along through the gray.
Did you soak?
Wow! That is so far beyond my ability! Congratulations!
Beautiful! Also good effort.

Who gets the $50M?
Also Elon thrilled for a distraction from his CSAM generator
Remember, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s testimony to the house judiciary committee was released a few days ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch... ) where he says, under oath, that he had dead-to-rights evidence that Trump attempted to steal the 2020 election. (And also theft of all those classified documents and hid them in the bathroom at Mar a Lago).
I've also heard some grousing that "distraction" is a poor word choice (because it implies the distracting act is of little consequence). I disagree with that reading. A hand grenade is an effective distraction from your unzipped zipper.

The Ornette Coleman Quartet, New York, 1971

Black-and-white photograph of the Ornette Coleman Quartet rehearsing in a sparse loft in New York, 1971. Drummer Ed Blackwell plays a compact drum kit at left; Dewey Redman sits with a tenor saxophone; Ornette Coleman, seated at a table, holds his alto saxophone; and bassist Charlie Haden stands at right with an upright bass. The musicians are arranged informally in a wooden-floored industrial space, emphasizing an intimate, collaborative rehearsal atmosphere.

I wonder who the guy sitting against the pillar is.
I think that is Ornette. Dewey is nearer to the drummer.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 I think @ardgedee is asking about the guy behind Ornette.

Animation of a sphere limned in fine white circles spinning on a black field
For the longest time for me it was spinning 180° before reversing direction.
@BennyTheIcepick same, also I just managed to get it to pingpong, right/left/right/left.
Quite possible...

Amsterdam Typography

The lost typography of Amsterdam, collected by Arno Verweij on https://www.amsterdamtypography.nl
Although all of this is gone, If you ever go to Amsterdam, it still pays off to pay attention to all the typography. Not just on shop signs but also on bridges and doors and buildings and the sides of the canals, the famous Amsterdammetjes and much, much more. It's a treasure trove.

Lovely. Reminds me of this now defunct website https://web.archive.org/web...
@joost Oh, that's great!
So much great letters, thanks!
On a side not, I help run a small type foundry (Monokrom), and I have learnt that my colleagues in the trade actually separate between typography and signage / sign painting etc. It's a minor distinction, but typography has to do with designing and using movable type in which all letters are possible to combine with any other letter, and able to form any conceivable word, whereas sign painting may adapt each letter more to the specific context.

Trickier question than you think. If you figure He's been exsanguinated for the wine, there's still more fluid in the body to remove before reaching the moisture content of a communion wafer. Which leads to the question of where those liquids go.

Me in a jacket with a hood pulled over my head. It has that sort of fake fur around the edges and the fake fur is being blown back. I'm wearing a brown wool scarf. I have very rosy cheeks and something approximating a smile. I am outside. It's sunny and the sky is a bright blue.
Was heckin' windy out today. Got a nearly two mile walk in today despite the several inches of snow last night. Did a pleasant NYE with neighbors, last night, learned a new card game, ate some delicious food. Was home by 10, and in bed by 11:30. Grateful for you nerds.
Happy new year, friend.
What was the new card game? HNY!
you look fantastic, what a great selfie!!!
Grateful for you!
