I'm on an Amtrak train heading to my first strike. I'll be picketing all day at 155 6th Ave for anyone who wants to come support us in NYC!

ugly, but made with work tools whilst trying to avoid work for a few minutes. trying to do at least little things with data on my own. may try learning something new down the road, like some basic python.
found a nice export tool to grab stats without having to deal with my own API key:

If you haven't read Jon Bois' "17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future", let me recommend it. Genuinely one of the greatest and most heartwarming pieces of science fiction from the last decade.

I strongly 2nd this, it's a cool story (whether you like football or not), and an excellent use of the web as storytelling platform.
Jon Bois is a singular genius, and we are lucky to have him.

this was a "Torchwood" episode, right?

A closeup of the moon fills the bottom diagonal 2/3rds of the photo, and it shows hundreds of large and tiny craters, lit brightly by sun. The distance a small blue planet earth, dusted with white clouds, is rising over the moon's horizon. The rest of the sky is pitch black

art002e009301 (April 6, 2026) – Captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, this image shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun. From the crew’s perspective, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth. The corona forms a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk, revealing details of the Sun’s outer atmosphere typically hidden by its brightness. Also visible are stars, typically too faint to see when imaging the Moon, but with the Moon in darkness stars are readily imaged. This unique vantage point provides both a striking visual and a valuable opportunity for astronauts to document and describe the corona during humanity’s return to deep space. The faint glow of the nearside of the Moon is visible in this image, having been illuminated by light reflected off the Earth.

My teammate and I spent yesterday's photo session having introvert time and focussing on separate details. It was delightful.
This is sea moss? Sea grass? Sea weed? Some sort of sea lawn growing on a sea wall near the sea. I love the textures and the pattern created by... the sea.
Sony a7iii, 85mm lens, f10 maybe?

A view out the window of a spaceship. The window is tall, with rounded sides, and surrounded by a heavy metal frame. The gray wall of the spaceship, with various beams and bolts, is visible beyond the frame. Out the window is the starry black of space, with a bright white-gray moon in the center. We're pretty close to the moon. The surface shadows are sharp and visible. Clamped to the upper frame of the window is a small consumer GPS unit, the kind you'd have in your car, displaying the words "keep right" in white lettering, along with "50 thousand km". The GPS displays the usual pink route and arrows indicating how to get to the moon. In the lower left of the screen is a small round icon indicating that the local speed limit is 90km/h. Fortunately there are no cops in space, yet. Good luck out there, Artemis crew. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
(voice of Carl Sagan) In order to make a right turn, first you must create the universe.
This is excellent.
I love this

+1 for the speed limit sign!

This is [YOUR NAME], a constituent living in [CITY, STATE, ZIP]. I can be reached at [PHONE NUMBER] but I do not require a call back.
I am asking you to impeach, convict and remove President Trump.
His latests message regarding ending civilization in Iran is yet more evidence that he is unfit to serve as president.
There is no greater priority for you, my elected representative, than to impeach, convict and remove President Trump from office.
Thank You.

April 7, 2026 - A variant of the voicemail and emails I sent to my three congressional representatives this morning. Alt text contains the text as well.
I do not understand how Dems in the house have not been filing articles of impeachment constantly this year.
The Dems are not going to save us.

Now this is an energy bar I would like to eat (rum is not optional)
This one was from the same article, another Ballarat lad who was a bit of an Aussie legend. A marathon runner who won Gold, 2 x Silver and a Bronze medal at various Commonwealth Games and a heap of other marathons around the world. I used to see him jogging around the Ballarat lake when he was around 50 years old, still fit as a fiddle.

@bezt ++ sure did
Biscuit = cookies? 🧐 I’m confuse.
@m3moellering yep, a cookie in Australia is called a biscuit. Your biscuits would be more of a scone to us
Recipes like this drive me bonkers. "1 packet" --how large? Give me a weight, a volume, anything! Sizes change, either from shrinkflation or just multiple product sizes being available.
@Argie Yeah, it's just so generic. Is it a sugar-cookie? Toll-House (The Cookie that Conquered the World)? Treacle? I wanted more detail......for science.
When hiking long distance paths in England we found that Snickers bars had actually more calories per gram. And they were named Marathon in Britain so that checked out. (TIL the name was changed to Snickers in 1990 but they changed it back in 2020.)
@m3moellering @Xedrik Cultural context/assumed knowledge. It'd generally be one of the plain sweet tea biscuits like Arnotts Marie or Milk Arrowroot, or Scotch Finger if you're fancy.
Some biscuits like the sadly discontinued Arnotts Lattice seemingly had no other purpose other than to be made into custard slice.

I feel like the American equivalent would probably be graham crackers, or maybe Lorna Doones?
@argie we spent a couple of days in Ballarat a few years back during a two week jaunt throughout the region. I loved the feel of the whole city.
@snarkout Arnotts Marie are part of the grand international family of Marie biscuits descended from the original Peek Freans, so the closest US equivalent is usually Maria biscuits (Goya/Iberia) in the Latino aisle. But yeah, graham crackers and Lorna Doones are in the ballpark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

We don't know where two-thirds of all the mass of the Universe is? How can we possibly know what happened to consciousness in these dens of misery?

I did an overnight tour there about 10 years ago with my now ex-wife who is a big supernatural/ghost fan. I was far more skeptical than most of the people, but it was still an interesting experience.

Two photos, one atop the other, at top, an actual photo of the moon seen from space during an eclipse, with glowing sunlight in the background, at bottom, a screenshot from Star Wars, showing a spaceship flying in front of a bright flash.
Okay, not to trivialize the real and awesome science here, but I'm a very visual person (I know, go figure), and this (incredible) real Artemis photo of the moon eclipsing the sun triggered some deep memory, ("I know there's a similar image somewhere in my brain... what is it?"), then it just dawned on me - Han Solo to the rescue at the end of Star Wars.
The second one is such a fine image that I regret having to call bullshit on the lighting. But ... bullshit on the flat z-axis key light.

A black and white print on paper of a photograph of clouds and a valley in Spital, Austria is held in my hand against the wall. Upon close inspection it can be seen that the image is made up of many small dots.
Hokay, so…
Working toward starting a print club because I really like the idea of making accessible art, and I’ve been experimenting with some processes and materials toward that end.
This is the first experimental image - I took a photo near Spital, Austria, and after some editing I converted it to halftones, because I’ve long been a sucker for vintage offset printing in comic books (grew up around Archie and Sad Sack comics from the 60’s) and Roy Lichtenstein and screen printing, etc.
When I was a photography student in undergrad I was always drawn to alternative photo processes, especially those where I got to remove intermediate machines/tools, etc., and feel like I was working more directly with the image with my hands.
Here I pushed that a little farther, with a rubber stamp of the halftone dot pattern. Felt like I was pushing a photograph into existence with my bare hands, which was fun.
This print of the Austrian sky I sent to my friend and longtime beloved critic JD in Michigan both because he deserves nice things and as thanks for his insight and opinions as I’ve thought through things around this print series.
When I finally get around to it in the hopefully near future, my first print club image will be related to this image and will be free (as a promotional effort to hopefully land on folks’ radars again with my art). I’ll let y’all know when that happens so you can check it out.
Until then, I’m just pleased with and proud of this li’l experimental piece.
