A white wall covered in framed photographs. There is a narrow counter-height table in front of the wall with a line of stools under it.
Ten days ago, I got an email out of the blue from the marketing director of a local brewery asking if I'd be interested in having an exhibit there. After confirming it wasn't an elaborate phishing attempt, I asked when the space would be available - July 21! So I had a little over a week to put together an art show.
After a mad dash to print some stuff and frame even more pieces, I hung everything today. "We Have Fun Here" is a collection of images around recreation, specifically focused on the Boston area. It'll be hanging at Aeronaut Brewery in Somerville for the next 6 weeks or so.

I also love the idea of sitting at a bar and instead of watching screens...you're looking at art!

Three picture of roasted tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos.
The plan is to make some instapot chuck roast birria with the tomatoes, and to make a salsa with the peppers and tomatillos, but I'll likely freeze most of the peppers for another day because using all of them with this quantity of tomatillos would make this a green murder salsa.

"Wood-canvas canoes sit sunk under the water to protect them from possible wildfire damage at the YMCA’s Camp Widjiwagan, which was evacuated July 17 on Burntside Lake near Ely, Minn. Many of their boats were built by legendary Ely canoe builder Joe Seliga. (Anthony Souffle/The Minnesota Star Tribune)"

A series of three pictures. The top picture shows just-picked tomatoes. The middle picture shows two kinds of peppers, Jalapeño and Serrano, three tomatoes with their stems cut out, and a couple dozen small tomatillos. The third picture shows the same items, but after roasting with lots of char showing on the peppers.
AKA How it started, how it's going.
oh HEQQQQ yeah, i can smell this post

Photo of a page from the July issue of In These Times, depicting a six-panel comic from Haus of Decline.
Panel 1: A woman standing and smiling in front of a chart. THE ADVENTURES OF BLOODLESS QUANT
Panel 2: Another woman pleads to Bloodless Quant: "Bloodless Quant, please help! I can't afford to feed my family!"
Panel 3: BQ replies, "That's ludicrous. The stock market is at an all-time high"
Panel 4: The woman says "But groceries are..." but BQ cheerfully interjects, "You shouldn't make statements if you don't have economic literacy!"
Panel 5: BQ holds up a chart with a line rocketing upward, saying "Here's a chart explaining why your fears are unfounded"
Panel 6: A boy asks the woman, "What are we having for dinner tonight?" The woman dejectedly stirs a pot with the chart in it. "Chart," she replies.

I continue to die on the very petty hill that Sauron isn’t obsessed with the palantíri, and Saruman isn’t a deity. Even if you argue Maiar count, Gandalf is the firewielder in that grouping.

Ava does not like to go to the beach. We will walk the two blocks to the beach, get out to the sand and then she will just sit, and not move unless it’s in the direction we just came.
She seems nice.
I don't like the beach either. Anakin was completely right about sand and I'm tired of people neglecting to see that past the bad writing and stilted line delivery.

A small ghost hovers in a dull yellowish-gray space. The ghost has a windup key sticking out of its back, and it is wearing one of those cheap disguises: a large red nose, a black mustache, and black-rimmed glasses. A glowing blue-green halo hovers above its head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Did a thing yesterday. Sore today but glowing with the pride of accomplishment.
I see Something 100 - nicely done!
woot! nothing like getting a little race dirt on the bike
20th anniversary of The Butte 100. @octaneTom. My third attempt and second finish.
This is new to me this year, @wjcstp, a Salsa Spearfish from your great state of Minnesota.

Middle aged female in front of Haystack Rock
Showing the shirt I made new sights like it's Flat Stanley.

Otherwise great vacation.

@mcmjolnir ahh glad the undertoad didn't get ya
@drurystephanie there was sooo much talk about the undertoad before it happened and it was the undertoad.
I was there in the summer of 1990 with my girlfriend, much to my wife's chagrin.
@mcmjolnir I can only imagine. I almost succumbed to it in Virginia Beach as a kid and am still not over it. The undertoad (not the rhythm) is gonna get youuuu...tonight!

Middle-aged woman in T-shirt that says WTFWJ
I made this shirt to wear to evangelical family reunions, back before I went no contact. Every time I wear it people ask where I got it so I decided to sell them, with 10% going towards Prevent Child Abuse America (since evangelical culture contributes to so much child abuse). In my personal experience you will piss off the right people and start good conversations with the right people while wearing this. Good trouble!

A basket of seasoned fries sits on a tiny round table on the ferry from Vestmanneyjar to mainland Iceland, with my hand in the foreground holding a packet of fry seasoning that says “KARTÖFLUKRYDD.” A can of passionfruit vodka cocktail named “P*RN” (WITH the asterix) sits on the table in the background.
Salt, tomato powder, sugar, onion powder. Magical. Gonna fill our suitcases with packets to enjoy at home. And then try to replicate it with ingredients at home. (Also the canned passionfruit cocktail “P*RN” (WITH the asterix), that’s the only vodka-based canned cocktail I’ve ever had that doesn’t make you go “ugh. A little yucky but still does the job at brunch or poolside without the effort of making your own, I guess.” It’s delicious.)
if you don't have any luck replicating it, you can get it here from a company called Badia or from an importer called Top Iceland
(we also love the stuff)

We might still have some tomato powder in the cupboard, i should try mixing some up
Somewhere, a VW copywriter in a nursing home feels a disturbance in the Force.
@williwaw ❤️❤️❤️ Good news! We made sure to grab several packets to take home with us, too.
@wjcstp Look forward to discovering whether you found a solid dupe!
@thelonius If that’s what it’d take to get this stateside, I applaud that resurrection from retirement.
I have been to iceland twice, going again in two weeks ; never seen this!
Is it something outside of Reykjavik?
Also looks awesome

In the UK there is a similar mysterious substance called "Chippy Spice"
@waldopepper Mmmm! Spooky!
@Robotron_smith These particular packets were from the concession stand on the ferry to Vestmanneyjar. Dunno about elsewhere, but it was the first we’d noticed them. Where you headin’ on this trip?
Is it.. ketchup dust?
@abrahms kinda!
We’re headed to -
Reykjavic
Grundarfjörður
Ísafjörður
Akureyri
Pretty excited, because I’ve only been there in the winter months before, and couldn’t make it to any of those other destinations!

If you find yourself in Reykjavík with time to burn and you’re driving, Arbæjarlaug is a local pool that in our opinion handily rivals all the fancy hot springs. Plus it’s full of locals (local pool is a common very regular community spot in Iceland). Multiple hottubs, water slide, cold plunge, steam bath, indoor/outdoor pool… plus it’s much much less expensive than the spas.
But whatever your plans, I’m sure you’ll have a blast. A grand country full of extraordinary landscapes.

I absolutely love it there.
And thanks for the tip on the local pool! I will be there with a car, so I’ll check it out.

A font viewer windows showing text display in Adobe Notdef: a font where all the glyphs are crossed -out boxes
source: Adobe NotDef — https://github.com/adobe-fo...
brb filing an issue about the lack of bold and italic
@ardgedee you'd be shocked by what LibreOffice just did with it, then: created bold and italic .notdefs on demand
oops all �
@scruss Isn't that just inline font styling, like WYSIWYG word processors and web browsers did for decades before OTF fonts became normal?
@ardgedee yes, but LibreOffice is annoying about type styles, allowing only the old-style four variants
@scruss Still trying to be backwards-compatible with Word 4, then?
@scruss still better than using Word or f'in google docs
@pk yes, both of those are AI cesspits
If you like Adobe NotDef, you might love Adobe Blank! https://github.com/adobe-fo...
I don't know the backstory on Adobe NotDef, but I was the instigator (but not creator) of Adobe Blank. Back in the day (10+ years ago) we used it in web applications to determine whether a user actually had a font installed on their system.
The general algorithm was:
1. Set up a CSS rule that had the font you wanted as the first font, and Adobe Blank as the only fallback
2. Include Adobe Blank as a web font
3. Create a div styled with that CSS rule, and put some text in that div
4. Measure the div. If it had > 0 width, the font you cared about was available locally!
The real challenge was making Adobe Blank as small as possible so it could be inlined, etc. That goal led to the creation of Adobe Blank 2: https://github.com/adobe-fo...

Pogo and Porky Pine are staring at a brick and Pogo asks “y‘mean this mouse used to hit this Kat with yon brick?” When Porky responds “verily,” Pogo comments that the Kat must have taken it poorly. Porky explains that she actually loved it, but as Pogo responds that it’s hard to believe, they both have to duck to avoid an oncoming brick. Pogo shouts “ghosts!” and we hear the brick hit something off panel, followed by a voice saying “L’il dollink.” Several hearts are floating around the word balloon.
