It's not often that a bit of graphic design makes me go "whoa, that's well done". Here's one that I saw today that did. I like how it captures both the cat and the dining aspects.

(Caution: nerdery.) I guess I'm easily amused. I have a PHP script that scrapes[1] various comic strips from large providers like gocomics. They have recently gone out of their way to obfuscate the generation of the comic strip IMG link in the HTML body their page returns. 1/

I sincerely hope this bill will proceed, but I'm pretty sure nothing will come of it...

And the vote is being called today via Rule IX...

Fingers crossed, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is astonishing and terrifying. I first noticed the shift to the right behind the fence, then after a couple more watchings noticed the top of the frame by the shed.
A MUST WATCH! 🧪
I am speechless...

@richardblade.bsky.social How about something completely different and do Subdivisions by Rush from Signals?

Today I learned...

That the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars has a swatch from the Wright brothers' first aircraft aboard. 120 years from that first flight to Ingenuity's... Wow.

Oh, Comcast Business I so loooove dealing with you. Took several tries to find a web browser that would work with their site.

Then, while I was finishing the billing fixup, I got a popup "would you do a survey when finished?" Heh, yep. So I clicked yes, which opened a side window ... 1/

The Utah television camera operators haven't quite figured out that you shouldn't follow the puck that closely... Feeling a touch seasick watching the game.

That feeling when you're getting a therapeutic massage, and the masseuse approaches a tight spot. You try not to flex (makes it worse), say "that's going to suck."

And it does. But then right away it releases and feels so much better.

Strange corner I'm in. Considering putting solar / battery system on the house. One option (quoted by several) is Enphase micro-inverters and battery. That has a fair number of weak reviews. The other? Tesla. Which has much better reviews. But the other TFG... sigh.
