Snapshot of an item in a museum. An axehead, green with age, sits behind glass, blad-down. It has a cartoonish face on it, with eyes, eyebrows, small ears, a stylized nose, and a big happy grin (including teeth). A small card with writing in Chinese is in front of it.

"Behold, a 3000 year old Chinese ceremonial bronze axe bearing a human face of which archeologists described as 'fearsome and fierce'."

a pear on a plate on a blue linoleum tabletop
when we moved here I planted a pear tree and a plum tree and this year the pear tree finally produced some fruit, which I picked and we ate, but at the time I left this one on the tree because it was small and not quite ready but then yesterday I was out in the field near the pear tree and lo the runt pear had become the most interesting pear of all, so I brought it inside and took a portrait of it
That pear's a real peach I tell ya'.

Fuck rape culture. Fuck toxic masculinity. Fuck the patriarchy. The news continues to be so devastating and depressing and enraging
I work with victims and if this isn't the goddamn truth.
Ok we have the documents but - what was she wearing?

Proof that a UNIVAC can not be made to look sexy
I've got a numpad to the left of my QWERTY keyboard because there wasn't room on the right.
Sure, cleaning up the clutter on my desk could fix that problem, but putting the numpad on the left was easier.

A multicoloured sphere
" Titan, the largest moon of Saturn and the only other body in the Solar System known to possess a thick nitrogen-rich atmosphere and stable surface liquids. Captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the observation reveals Titan’s hazy global atmosphere in infrared wavelengths that pierce the thick organic haze layers produced by complex photochemistry."

Lengthy rant about this week's internet security issues, beginning "So, basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without logging in, which is bad" and ending, "Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 257. Anyway, it's Wednesday."

I help manage 2 websites with wordpress installations, and as of this morning neither of the hosts have the patched versions of PHP available to select.
I backed up two of my 3 DBs, not sure why I can’t do the third, and the host (Dreamhost) finished patching around 11pm PDT last night. So …?
@wjcstp who do you host with? We use WPEngine and SiteGround and both were patched yesterday. Of the two, I prefer WPEngine.
I don’t know what half of this even means but I can ascertain from the tone that this is akin to the Ghostbusters’ “Big Twinkie”
@BennyTheIcepick excellent reference
My company's site is thankfully unaffected (so far), but I've spent the past two days fielding questions about why it *isn't*, which is new and weird.
@BennyTheIcepick It's Lenin's "weeks where decades happen" for people who touch computers for a living.
this is going to be so much better in N years when all of the code serving up web pages was written by LLMs and nobody has a clue what any of it is actually doing under the hood, and when this inevitably happens again, whatever's left of admins will be begging their new gods to please please please just fix it for us. Meanwhile the agents are conspiring with each other on un-read blogs' comment sections to negotiate who will introduce what new remote code injection vulnerability so they can copy themselves to new machines, etc, etc, etc.
@travis One site is with Network Solutions (after the original host was bought up in a couple of acquisitions) and the other with Green Geeks. I had an email from Digital Ocean for my personal site before i woke up.
How 'bout the elections? I consider that every disruption is about f*ing with the vote.
I backed up my hostgo WP dbs, just in case I had to nuke from orbit and re-install.
haven't gone in to look yet, but ready with the flamethrower

@travis We use Siteground and they had it covered before I got out of bed yesterday.
Funny thing, it happened yesterday but we didn't get any inquiries from clients until today, and we got several.

@dreyfusslugado Heh - well-played, you.
Cars these days do tend to have covers along the undercarriage, but this is pure enshittification.
I was 1970, wonder how those look in comparison.
@dad Interestingly, 1970 was kinda all over the map, but generally more detailed than today: https://www.google.com/search...
@MackReed Oh yeah, not that much going on compared to the 90's.
Maybe that's why the maker of this meme stopped there.

an array of 9 album covers:
Diamond Mine — King Creosote & Jon Hopkins
A New Way of Seeing — Richard Harvey
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea — Neutral Milk Hotel
Four Horses — Ken Reaume
The Discovery Of A World Inside The Moone — Apples in Stereo
Broken Chanter — Broken Chanter
Bouncing Off The Satellites — The B-52's
Anne Dudley Plays the Art of Noise — Anne Dudley

This took longer than expected, but I think I've got "the" nine I wanted.
I'm a bit disappointed it didn't have the cover for Four Horses, by Ken Reaume. Ken is an illustrator and designer (Ken James Studio — https://knjms.com/ ) and the cover art is one of his incredibly detailed etchings

A humanoid figure made of armor wanders through the night. Its head is a lamp mounted on a metal arm, casting a blazing white-green glow. Its construction looks a little haphazard and asymmetrical, with various seams and plates. One hand is missing, with wires emerging from its arm. The light from its head gleams off its armor. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Soooo, I've been banging away on this crazy thing (first with tools, then with fingers and mallets) since last February when I first sketched the design.
Someone gave me access to one of these insane stainless steel table bases (hidden here by the table top that I fabricated) which had been chucked into a dumpster in Bellevue as flawed by some furniture/decor company that didn’t want to pay to ship them back to Europe for a refund.
The Jam Table is 5 feet in diameter and 34 inches off the floor, designed for four musicians.
Clockwise from bottom are a xylophone, percussion rack (with a kick drum built into the table base), propane-tank tongue drum, and - god help me - I scratch-built a standup bass into the table.
On Saturday, I debuted it at SEACompression (Seattle's post-Burning Man party) and people seemed to have a good time plinking, banging, and drumming on it together.
Only one small casualty - a little fish-shaped woodblock on the perch rack needs to be reglued), and one good lesson learned - It either wants amplification or placement in a quiet room so you can hear the bass properly. We were sited next to a dubstep sound system, which kinda swallowed half the sound.
I'll also be modifying the bass neck to add a torsion cable to counteract the string tension and - I fervently hope - reduce the tuning/futzing time to something less than 1 hour.
And I might *just* be in talks with a certain beloved local radio station to get it sited in or near their Gathering Space. Details if and as they develop.

Dayum!
RAD!
Both the instrument and that table are awesome.
Insane
Nice work! In the test clip the bass sounds good, but as you found, it's going to be hard to keep up with percussion in the same space. I don't think upright basses generally have truss rods, but the necks are relatively beefy and short, as compared to electric basses. A torsion cable might work, and would be an interesting design element (and possible additional tone cable).
@wjcstp Yeah, been thinking the future tension cable might be pluckable if the necessary turnbuckle doesn't get in the way. I wonder what I should tune it to ...
Love!

The final card in the Major Arcana for the Feral Path Tarot. This is the Wheel of Fortune featuring elder priest of Eleggua and one of my favorite priests ever, Alimayu Harris. He has always been truly kind to me and makes me laugh my ass off.

a remix of a photo of the undersides of Hot Wheels cars, showing the loss of detail, but the bottom image is the underside of the so-called Flying Car from Tesla.

That particular clown car will never fly.
BTW, "Musk" is a bit overlong and, while it paints a decent portrait of the ugly trillionaire, it doesn't go for the jugular like I wish it had.
"You Can See Everything," on the other hand, is astoundingly good and will leave you gasping - that's NOT an exaggeration. It's insane.

@grantbarrett so combining it with the photo of Musk's BS Flying Car seems appropos.
