Had a wonderful chat and stroll through the Olympic Sculpture Garden with @m3moellering, who was kind enough to take time off from his whirlwind PNW tour to get together. Safe travels on your way to scary Canada, sir!

this site is amazing: https://walkman.land/
Excellent.
I had a bunch of these over the years through the 90's. My favorite was probably the Panasonic that recorded. I recorded a bunch of stuff from the radio that I still occasionally listen to with that, as well as a couple of concerts. I didn't find it on the site, but its probably still at my parents house.
Eventually I ended up with a high-end Sony (WM-EX677?) on closeout right around the time I was the only one who still cared about tapes. It was super tiny, had full-logic controls and Dolby B, but also had some weird slim rechargeable battery that didn't last long. It could use a AA in a sidecar setup, but it looked super clunky.

Also, saved to Warble & Hiss: https://mltshp.com/thetapes
it tool 34 pages but i found my WM-38, a "Standard, low cost Walkman in light/baby blue with Dolby B."
@cwhartman I still like tapes!!!
this is a great site!
Ah my beloved Sony WM-F63. I miss the tactile feeling of every part of it. Smooth, soft, solid and robust, even if it was a bit heavy. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of it.
I'm sorry — THERE WAS A PINGU WALKMAN??

Black and white picture of a seated couple
Anais Munro and Filipe Romero started Black Lake Records in the Spring of 1962 out of the back of their 59 Chevy Apache while travelling along highway 101. Using connections in student papers in University of California and other colleges during their separate and chaotic attempts to be students, they recruited student artists, recording them performing in National Parks, campus auditoriums, and bus stations heading North. They edited and pressed compilation albums in Seattle, where they were stranded cashless for some time each attempt, and then sold the albums on their trips South. Their three trips helped document and promote a new sound of the West Coast that powered both folk and funk movements that followed and stand as a model for current musicologists and anthropologists.
Just kidding. That's not their names or lives. These are my parents before my birth. They were Mormons.

A man stands at a podium during a conference. Behind him is a large projection that states "SHOULD WE DO THIS" with a flowchart. "Does America do it? -> Yes -> Then, no."
source: https://xoxo.zone/@adr@mas...
Sound logic!
This checks out.
Nice and succinct.
I could go for some peace, order and good government right about now.
Not only do we do it in America, we do it LOUDER! And probably WORSER!
@bezt it would be nice if we actually did that in Canada
@samh what the USA lacks in accuracy it more than makes up in volume.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture. Looks like a marsh with stream and island, with buttery light from a low sun.

A small red moon above a low bank of clouds and Victorian houses in San Francisco
Total lunar eclipse around 3:22 this morning, SF
we are so so small
I had to drive my wife to the airport very early this morning, and we noted how cool the thumbnail moon looked. We did not know it was a lunar eclipse. Later, tonight, she was on a walk in Florida and noticed the moon was suddenly full(!) After lots of puzzles texts and googling, we figured out the eclipse thing. Such a cool accidental observation :)
here we go again with the fuckin bokoblins.
@robritz my partner's exact reaction
@shfitz i'd take a frox over one of those little bastards any day
lol @robritz
I love ghat the houses seem to be leaning to get into the picture.
Clouds were blowing by throughout the eclipse totality. Thankfully, at 3am I had the whole block to myself to watch and wait for brief openings in the cloud cover from the middle of the street.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 That's funny. In the wider shots the houses on both sides of the street appear to be leaning in!
@kokogiak Love that story!

The back view of a red concept car from Mazda showing one tail light.
Apparently resetting the password on the "my Mazda" app means I get silly emails now. Enjoy this "exclusive" image I wasn't supposed to post here.

This from a corporation that doesn’t have the wherewithal to name their products and instead gives them numbers.
my brain still goes to that "WhatsApplebees" meme thing from forever ago:
"I LOVE ENGAGING WITH BRANDS!"
(see: https://mltshp.com/p/19O31)
and oh, god, if i had a dollar for every time i reset a password and then got an "exclusive" parade of emails. i just did the rounds updating my credit card info at my usual subscription places and i missed a few checkmarks for opting out so i have been clearing out lots of Brand Experiences laltely

My Mazda is too old (2013) to have app integration so I appreciate your sharing so I can feel like part of the club.
Gotta say, that’s a beautiful car though. Shame it will never get made. It really captures the look of the 90’s RX-7 FD, which for my money is the best-looking car Mazda ever made.
Feels like the corporate version of sending unsolicited dick pics.
I would swear that was AI generated if you hadn't posted the wiki.
I don't think I've ever driven a Mazda before. Do you like it?

I had a 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback that was the most fun to drive of any car I’ve had. Great on long road trips, tooling around town. Just a fantastic machine. Lost it in the divorce and my ex recently reluctantly sold it ahead of fears of tariffs making cars unaffordable. I think she regrets it. We both miss that car.

@ufez my Miata is a 2021 and it does not have any real integration with the app. My 2024 Mazda 3 had remote start, door locks, and other integrations with it.
@BennyTheIcepick OMG my 2015 Mazda 3 with a manual shift, which got wrecked, was an amazing car. We called it Toothless. The 2024 I replaced it with we call Gutless, even though it is legit faster, it has an automatic transmission, so it feels less.
This week I learned that Mazda is named after the supreme deity of the Zoroastrians.
I was thinking that at some point they were going to tell you that the image is an NFT, but it's not even that.
Very happy with my 2021 Mazda 3 sedan.
You wouldn't download a car?!
We can’t edit eh? Feels like it needs a cheeseball!

You can't miss it, it's in the Merditerarium Sea
Berbeesea
I take issue with their color choices for land and sea
Cyrpus plz.
Is that near Creet
Cyr, this is a Wendy's.
It's the BBC, so maybe that's the Welsh spelling.
They're actually talking about how there's too many islands in that area. They misspelled Cyrplus.

A middle aged dork with glasses is sitting on a bus next to their very cool child. She is sporting a red coat and the whims of the city has bestowed some red tinted mood lighting on her face.
You must never forget that anyone who is willing to be a cop is a bastard. Every single one of them. Free Palestine. Bibi can gargle my taint. Trans rights are human rights.

The 11yo wanted to go downtown to explore transit in the city. We took the bus, the subway, and the light rail for no good reason and then came home. Excellent day out.
Hooray for public transit! How lucky to have so many options available to you.
Great pic, great color coordination.
@BennyTheIcepick we just moved here last fall and I’m loving it. Cycling is pretty good everywhere I’ve been, too.

Teach 'dem yoots.
giving public transportation freedom to an 11YO is maximum confident parent.

Screenshot of the upper left hand corner of b3ta's homepage. At the uppermost in tiny text is "we love the web"; below that the typographic "b3ta" logo, main links "Messageboard", "Links", "QOTW", "Challenges", and "FAQ". Below that is the header for the "Best of the Board" homepage section, with a scant fragment of the most recent BotB post.
At this point, somewhat predictably, a hangout for middle-aged guys who are too busy and tired to make intricately clever photoshops any more, and some of the edginess has been sanded off* but they still have weekly image challenges and (vaguely-)weekly newsletters.
The source from which the Spongmonkeys, Weebl & Bob, Mushroom Mushroom and many other memes have sprung, the place Cyriak and film director Ben Wheatley (as "Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley") got their starts, the missing link between the London and Silicon Valley hacker communities (through Cal Henderson). Among other things.

The old Internet is better than the new internet. Long live the forum. Bring back our walled gardens of creativity where microbiomes of creativity and communication exist like tide pools where evolution creates new and better ideas.
