Autochrome of young Hélène Gélibert, engrossed in her crochet, sitting on a stool
Autochrome of young Hélène Gélibert, engrossed in her crochet and enveloped in such beautiful iridescent light! It was taken in Monplaisir, France, by the Lumiere brothers and it depicts their niece (the daughter of Juliette Lumière). It is an original colour process from 1910 and not colourised.

That's the name. They also put it in big glowing letters on the front of the building.

I dunno makes it stand out. China Buffes sounds like it could be a verb. Buffing porcelain for example
ardgedee pro 2 hours ago
@poorusher My guess is they were trying to make a portmanteau of "buffet" and "fest" but didn't grasp how native English speakers would take it. It's also plausible the misspelling is intentional to be eyecatching. There's a fishmonger in one of the smaller towns near here who does that with his street signs. Now and then somebody corrects them with a sharpie and shopkeeper promptly replaces them with new misspelled signs.

I don't really know.
ardgedee pro 2 hours ago
@poorusher The signs said "China Buffet" up through some time late last year. It's starting to look like this was deliberate:

I worked for a company that catered mostly to the paper industry, but also had a division that did custom stickers, labels, and everything else in-between. One of our customers was one of the biggest garage for companies in the area. They wanted a warning label for all their doors that had several typos and a few glaring grammatical errors. The rep pointed these mistakes to them, they argued insisting they were right and to go to print. It was a huge run costing several thousand. The rep made them sign off on the proof and kept a copy. When the CEO saw the finished product, he was furious and insisted we reprint on our dime. The rep headed over with the approved copy signed off by his gang of idiots. They paid for the reprint. I'm guessing some dudes were hiring the bricks shortly thereafter.

Hilarious. And I read that in his voice.

Reuters recently DID unmask him. Two guys that work together. One was Robin Gunningham, who started out as a stencil artist under the name Robin Banks, which became Mr. Banks, which became Banksy. The other is Robert Del Naja (frontman of Massive Attack). They worked together and separately. Banksy says that De Naja is the better illustrator, by far. So does Banksy’s former agent.

@Davezilla I maintain that there is a secret army of "Banksy's" trained in secret by Damien Hirst. It's like James Bond or the Dread Pirate Roberts. The original Banksy sold out years ago, now Hirst is gleefully living out his Warhol fantasies funded by his ill-gotten millions. I have no proof and I'm trying to make conspiracies fun again. Thank you for picking up my poorly xeroxed newsletter.

The suit has yellow dots and buttons, and the figure is holding something that looks like a 1950s sci-fi raygun. A few birds circle in the sky in the distance. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

low-resolution GraphicsGrid of MoonPhase, in a 5x10 layout. each moon icon has a year printed over it.
fiddling with a visualization to avoid being a productive member of society.

phase of the moon at my exact time of birth for each of my first 50 birthdays. this year happened to be a waxing gibbous; looks like i can look forward to a full moon on my 45th and 48th.

just a chunky-assed low-res rasterizing of a chunky-assed low-res icon with system-default text for the time being. going to try to find a way to output it in a higher resolution later (when i don't have to be half-prepared for meetings)

EDIT: re-ran this in the afternoon and got a much better visualization:

plus, i mean, people making the music their own makes it all worth while.

ardgedee pro 5 hours ago
@B6FA798A3449 There were a couple essays about that a few years back making arguments that he was always the terrible person he is now, he was just more coy about it in the 80s and when his dogwhistle sounded at frequencies people could hear, they mostly thought of him as yet another 20-something guy hustling for attention. No shortage of edgelords in arts and music at pretty much any point in history so he didn't stand out for it much.

That he was actually speaking his mind rather than playing a role as a contrarian didn't become obvious to most people until he kept doing these things at an age when his peers were trying to shift to more mature public images.

There's a better one by somebody about his feelings as an Asian fan of Morrissey but I can't find it at the moment.

Beans-and-corn.
When I was a kid this was one of the least expensive ways my parents found to get big bowls of complete protein to three kids.
My dad would get cheapo baked beans and add frozen corn and then add ketchup and mustard and barbecue sauce and brown sugar. I used Busch’s instead (ROLLLL that beautiful bean footage), but still ended up adding a little bbq sauce.
It was filling and hot and delicious and the corn adds both sweetness and more texture than just the smooshy beans on their own.

Even my kid who doesn’t like baked beans not only liked it, but spent a bunch of time talking about how much he liked it, so that’s kind of fun.

My version of this uses the frozen corn that has other veggies in it like bell peppers and onions (*not* peas & carrots) , often called something like "Southwestern" depending on the brand, mayhap you'd like that as well?

(Sometimes I add some cumin & chili powder for an "instant chili" if you will.) Then if you have leftovers throw an egg on in the morning and/or put some in a tortilla for insta-burrito.
wombatman70 Yesterday
@williwaw that all sounds good! Tonight it was mostly just for nostalgia’s sake, and m’lovely wife doesn’t love beans, so the fact that she’s out of town is the only reason I was happy to make it this evening’s entree, so prolly won’t riff on it much moving forward. 😂

That said, I DO love bean tacos/burritos!!

I still make what my Mom called "beef and rice fiesta," two cups dry rice cooked, one pound frozen kernel corn, and one pound browned ground beef, the cheapest you can find. Spice to taste. She likely only did salt and pepper but I also add garlic powder, onion cumin, and smoked paprika. If I am fancy I will brown onions and peppers before doing the meat.

Cover of 1920s magazine Radio Craft showing a tuxedoed man playing a new instrument called the Marimbalite by shining handheld flashlights at two arrays of glass bulbs or sensors arranged before him as if they were the white and black keys of a piano keyboard. His facial expression is one of smug superiority.

spent the weekend checking in on my parents after their town was hit by (positively massive) hail and a tornado.

i was so relieved to discover that they were left mostly untouched when neighbors had totaled cars, broken windshields, broken roofs. hail did end up piercing their roof in one spot, but thankfully no water got through.

the hail did do some damage to my dad’s gigantic truck, which is a bit of a point of contention. he hasn’t been able to walk well since his stroke last year, let alone drive, and yet he keeps holding on to that truck. i want him to have a rehabilitation goal to work toward, but watching it rust in the driveway while they continue to pay insurance on it seems like such a waste. same with his motorcycle, the mirror of which you can see here.

since i didn’t have broken glass to clean up or windows to board up, i was able to do some cleaning for my mom, who is really overworked right now. there’s a balancing act between letting her cede enough control to be able to do things for her, keeping her easily-bruised pride intact, and keeping my cool with her distractability and avoidance dances. it’s slow work getting there, one piece at a time, but we are building to something.

i’m in a quiet place in my own life at the moment, but i know i need to take a lesson from my interactions with my mom - stop avoiding things, stop being too proud to ask for help. it’s time to unpack some tasks for myself so i can do better for them as they need more help.

anywho, that’s-a-me, that’s where i am. maybe next time you’ll get some pics of my still-intact lego creations i unearthed in their attic instead of my wrinkled-assed mug.
