A pixelated icon of a small computer: an all-in-one model with both a screen and a disk drive. The screen has a smiling face on it. This, of course, is Susan Kare's Happy Mac: the first thing you'd see after turning on your Mac in the 80s or 90s (well, second thing, if your machine didn't have a hard drive). The icon is white pixels on a black background. The pixels glow with a neon blaze of rainbow colors: the six colors of the classic Apple logo. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman". Thanks for everything, Mac team.
"On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984.'"

my hand holding a silver bar stamped SILVER ASARCO SELBY CALIFORNIA 9997 FINE
I saw that silver prices were like a hockey stick lately. Thought I'd take an inventory. The kids have a few silver dollars that were gifts from grandparents. I have some Franklin half dollars from my father-in-law's coin pile.
But this one I'm keeping regardless. When my grandfather was 17 he was a promising athlete with scholarships lined up. His father, however, made his son get a job at the smelter to support his second-marriage kids (and most likely support his vices). So my grandfather spent his days behind a shovel. After decades, eventually became a union foreman, even taking a few beatings from union-busting mercenaries. In his 50s, the plant closed and he got retirement, this 15oz bar, and probably the cancer that took him down years later.

Mary Tyler Moore says "FUCK ICE"

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

Scene from Minneapolis protest, person in front holding a sign that says BRUTE SQUAD GO HOME
My darling wife at today’s protest march in downtown Mpls (photo by me).
It was wonderful to holler and freeze our faces off with an enormous crowd of friends and neighbors. We walked with kids, senior citizens, students, parents, people in wheelchairs and walkers, handing out handwarmers and picking up trash and making a ruckus. Good energy all around.

Yay! Thank you both for braving the cold.
@bencmeissner It felt really good to be there. I rarely need to use my really serious winter gear, came in handy.
@wjcstp I've heard others say similar things. I had to go buy some new stuff, but it's already got a lot of use in 24-ish hours and will get more the next couple weeks, I'm sure.
amazing

(some of) the turnout in Minneapolis today during the rally, despite the double digit below 0 temps
I'll let those on the ground talk about it, but have to say: Minnesotans, you are a symbol of strength and resistance to all of us.

We also had lots of folks covering neighborhoods to prevent the gestapo from exploiting the protest to snatch folks. Neighborhood shops also gave out free food and a place to warm up this morning.
This is a great shot, it includes a good chunk of the protest, and iconic downtown signs for Grain Belt beer and Augies strip club.
A great picture! Minnesota nice!

Except this may get you shot. They did another murder this morning.

Bike Shacking in Argentina
alt text
Abandoned cabaña in Argentina. Graffiti from cyclists passing through covers the walls. On the left is a rudimentary wood stove, to the right two large bay windows with a metal door in-between. Outside is Lago Escondido.
The route passed by an abandoned hotel and cabañas, so I did what you ought to do, meaning I camped out there. This is the only one (out of 7?) that has a full roof and is more or less enclosed. The test have been the victim of the weather, vandals, or scavengers. This one is missing two windows, but they've been patched up with corrugated metal. Spartan, sure, but it was cool to see all the "notes" left behind from previous bike tourers over the years.
Are Bob and Ryan with you?
@wmo I'm not sure who that is?
LOVE THIS, ASSUMING YOU COULD HAVE A FIRE IN THAT STOVE IT LOOKS TO BE A COMPLETELY SERVICEABLE STOPOVER

Brilliant, I love it.
Good mention of the morning protest at the airport. That was hundreds of faith leaders from many different traditions (and many from out of state) who filled the departure platform at the airport. Reports are 100 or so were arrested while protestors sang and prayed.
@wjcstp We saw some of those faith leaders near George Floyd Square this morning. Big group of them walking. I think they headed to Renee Good's murder site from there. Glad to see them all here making good trouble.

Graphic showing how 1/2 inch layer of ice equals 7,125 pounds of ice on trees, or 109.5 golden retriever worth of weight on trees
I used to play bass for 109.5 Golden Retrievers
109.5 Golden Retrievers was the worst Neena b-side.

vintage ad from 1976 for "CHiPs" Power Pudding, an artificially flavored chocolate pudding
I don't remember Power Pudding, but my grandfather always had the little cans of Del Monte chocolate pudding. I remember cutting my tongue on the rim trying to lick up the last of the pudding.

Infographic on "FREEZING RAIN VS. SLEET" featuring donuts to illustrate the difference.
On the left, a glazed donut with icicles on it - FREEZING RAIN CLINGS: Liquid rain freezes on contact with surfaces below 32°F.
On the right, a sprinkled donut - SLEET BOUNCES: Frozen raindrops (ice pellets) bounce on impact.
