Illustration art of a puddle in a muddy road. Tire tracks and footprints in an irregular pattern frame the puddle, which is reflecting a sparse pine forest. Things seem pretty normal by Escher standards, but they are still slightly off.

Painting of a field of blue flowers, sparse in foreground but frankly exploding towards the horizon. A blue sky with high white clouds above. In middle ground, green is returning to a tree. Probably early spring?

They gave the 2025 prize to Machado so... no.
@ardgedee Yeah, maybe, but we can hope.
He’ll probably just demand you give it to him. He’s collecting them, you know.
@MackReed In all seriousness, they could impound it at customs.

Black and white photograph of American filmmaker and actor John Cassavetes, holding a film camera, wearing leather gloves and jacket. He appears to be lost in thought.

A black background with a red "Closed" sign, like a lot of businesses are displaying right now in solidarity with the nationwide general strike and the protest against ICE. The sign reads "Sorry, We're Closed" in white letters in that mix of script and all-caps sans-serif that I like so much. In the lower left are the words "Fire ICE", scrawled in neon-pink graffiti lettering. In the top right is the Minnesota flag, a design that features a light blue field with a darker blue obtuse angular figure on the hoist. There's one small modification, though: in place of the white star is the Rebel Alliance logo from Star Wars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Colored pencil sketch of a postage stamp. This one is a 25 cent US Airmail stamp featuring the portrait of Wiley Post ("Aviation Pioneer").
Another sketch of a more complex stamp. I didn't do a great job on Mr. Post's face, but this was a fun one to sketch. I love his eyepatch!

Colored pencil sketch of a 20 cent(?) stamp from (I'm guessing) Czechoslovakia. It features a circular horn and inside of that, the tower to a castle of some kind.
I'm starting to experiment with some more complex stamps to sketch. Again, this comes from my childhood stamp collection. I likely got this as a part of some package of used European stamps.
That's a fun one

A rare, Kenyan black leopard, stands in yellow brush, the color of it's eyes. The photographer, Andy Rouse said, "Probably the most beautiful cat, I have ever seen, and, I have seen a lot."
A rare black leopard at the Laikipia wildlife conservancy, Kenya. The photographer said: “This is a seven-year-old black female leopard called Giza. She’s very famous as she’s so bold and beautiful. It’s been an ambition of mine for several years to photograph her for my forthcoming leopard project, and wow what an experience it was. She took my breath away the first time I saw her – probably the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen, and I have seen a lot”

Carnaby's Black Cockatoo is my choice, primarily because they only live in my part of the world (south-west Western Australia) and because they're endangered, because we keep bulldozing their habitats, because we're shit.
Carnaby's live in our forest, so I feel like a traitor, but I have to admit that the red tails are my favourite.
I’m rather fond of the black and red as well. So, several!

This sold out in minutes when announced earlier this week. I'm seeing confirmation from people there that the special guest is Bruce Springsteen.

Yeah, looks like it wasn't saved after the live stream, I'll add a new one if i can find something. First Ave tapes so many shows, i'd hope they make this one available at some point.
fuck yeah

RSS never tracked you. Email never throttled you. Blogs never begged for dopamine. The old web wasn’t perfect. But it was yours.
Fuck yea.
Actually. I disagree a little with this. The old web WAS Perfect.
I mean, except for Internet Explorer. That sucked.
I mean, except for Internet Explorer. That sucked.
@homerj the dialup sucked, porn was terrible and full of beastiality and children, email was unfiltered and absolutely full of spam, and women were consistently rejected and abused.
It’s easy to forget the shit that sucked. There were lots of great things, but there were lots of shitty things too.

I tied the <blink> tag to my belt, which was the style at the time …
@vosechu valid points though I'm not sure that has all changed as much as it should have.
Where's the mltshp link ring?

@vosechu *
@homerj yeah, agreed. It’s hard to know whether things are actually better or worse in aggregate. As a crusty old fart I can compare a bit, but it’s hard for me still. For folks that barely even saw the 90s or 00s, I think they fantasize about the past based on half remembered fish stories.
I want a combo rss and email newsletter reader, plug-ins for additional services like mastodon, etc., and for internet accounts to have a public web directory again as part of the bundle, in case you want to make your own website.

Best review ever. On the Netflix
Melania "documentary":
"If they showed this film on a plane,
people would still walk out." -Variety

Covet- cov·et /ˈkəvət/
verb
yearn to possess or have (something).
I have coveted these since I first laid eyes on them probably 15 years ago...
Alas ~$450* Frye Prison Boots weren't really in my budget. So I always said If I ever won the lottery, or inherited some money, I'd spring for a pair.
Since I'm not a gambling man unfortunately, it's the latter.
You all might remember my Uncle Steve passed on beginning of Dec. He was generous in a small but significant way on his way to the other side so I decided to splurge.
They are gorgeous.
And likely to last the rest of my lifetime and then some.
Cheers.
*Some also might rememeber little over 6 years ago I similarly splurged on a spendy pair of boots I'd been lusting after. The Grenson Brady. Those, depending on the fit and finish can cost upwards of $800. Mine were listed at $450 iirc but I paid a little over $250 due to sales and coupons.
To this day it's some of the best money I've ever spent. On footwear or anything else. They've lived with me for almost 6 months in the Amazon jungle and arguably look better now than when I bought them... but I digress...
Good boots are worth the money.

Good boots are worth the money.
From Sir Terry Pratchett:
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness.

Come for the in-depth renewable energy, or jump right to the last half hour for a righteous rant about the current state of the country.
Love to watch his nerdier in-depths, and just rocked by his passion in the last 3rd of this one.
i'm excited to sit down and watch this one. he's truly the best and always so informative.
i never thought i’d say that a technology connections video would bring tears to my eyes but here we are
