As they say in the literature, DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

#LearnedLeague #LL107
Screenshot: Match Day 7 results from Learned League Season 107. I scored 6 points on 3 correct answers -- all from the last three questions, while my opponent scored 5 points on 4 correct answers -- all from the first four. I won, somehow, taking my record to 5 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw.

I had to go back through my WPAFW 2025 photos to see if we did have an NA Miata.

Yes we did.

Although the completely unrestored 1990 (I think) Eagle Talon was gorgeous and ran away with Best In Show.
Various vehicles lined up in the parking lot of the North Park Lodge on the Sunday of WPAFW 2025, with the rusty water tower in the background. The car on the far right of the frame is a red Mazda NA Miata. A red 1990-ish Eagle Talon, in original & beautiful condition, at the WPAFW 2025 Car Show. The hood is open and two fursuit heads are on the back. Various people are gawking in awe of it. It won Best In Show.

Confound you Tiger for putting this comic strip back in my consciousness!
A sunday edition of the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" by Stephan Pastis from 2014, where he sets up a shaggy-dog joke involving a mafia boss, a flashlight shaped like Elizabeth Hurley, and former Dodgers third baseman Ron Cey. The comic ends with an absolute groaner of a pun, followed by an epilogue implying extreme bodily harm upon the cartoonist.

Hello, Youghiogheny, my old friend
Quuxum, a middle-aged trans chick, stands alongside the Youghiogheny (pronounced "Yock-uh-GAY-knee" at Buena Vista, Elizabeth Township, PA. Trees on the sides of the valley have lost most of their leaves, but some still have various green, yellow, and orange leaves on them.

Can you try removing Game Bar via winget in an elevated Command Prompt?

Note: This is on my 24H2 box; I have yet to install 25H2
An elevated command prompt window in Windows 11 24H2. The winget command is used twice; first to get the MSIX name of the Game Bar app, and then using winget remove with that MSIX name to remove the app.

Everything I say is on the record.

As long as it's one of these.
Quuxum, a middle-aged white trans chick, is holding a vinyl LP cover of King Crimson's "Three Of A Perfect Pair" (1984). Quuxum, still a middle-aged white trans chick, is holding a vinyl LP cover of The Strawbs' "Grave New World" (1970). Quuxum, yes, still a middle-aged white trans chick, is holding an vinyl LP cover of Van Der Graaf Generator's "Godbluff" (1975).

CONGRATULATIONS TO @ianm5280.bsky.social!!!
The tableau of the three contestants of Jeopardy! on the 9 September 2025 episode, following Final Jeopardy. Champion Jonathan Hugendubler missed FJ, falling to $13199. Stacy Shelly also missed FJ, falling to $8399. Ian Morrison got it right, and with $22009, won the episode. Jonathan and Stacy appear stoic, while Ian is nearly in shock at the realization that he's now a Jeopardy! champion.

Seriously, what @nanoraptor.danamania.com posts here is everything I'd ever want in a laptop.

The closest I've ever come to it is this Lenovo Ideapad S10-3.
Quuxum (in her purple camouflage bandanna) is holding a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 netbook, circa 2010. This is a 10" netbook currently running OpenBSD, and the screen shows that it is running the XFCE4 window manager.

A tweet dated 2021 July 17 by Anna Harren, aka garblefart, which reads "still shitting the bed every few hours but hey what can you do" She died the following day. Fuck cancer.

Derek Lowe in Nanoraptor's comments gives me hope for another day.
Screenshot: Nanoraptor's latest photoshop had a bottle of "Dove Nourishing Secrets body wash" with a picture of the most-cursed durian fruit upon it, with an additional tagline below "with natural fruit oil and thioacetone". Derek Lowe, the well-known pharmaceutical chemistry blogger, is in the comments below.

I was just talking about Maurice Noble to my gf the other day; specifically, his use of color and combined modernist-surrealist objects in "Hare-Way To The Stars" (1958), and the monochromatic effects he put on Elmer in "What's Opera Doc?" (1957). Absolute brilliance.
Elmer The Valkyrie at the climactic penultimate scene of Chuck Jones' "What's Opera Doc?" (1957). Elmer is seen standing tall (comparatively) with a look of fanatical determination on his face as he sings "I'WL KIWL THE WABBIT! As per Maurice Noble's color design, he is depicted entirely in a reddish-orange light, with only tiny amounts of shadow, and no other color from his skin or costume is evident. The surrounding objects are also in the reddish-orange light against a dark blue background. A wide-angle shot of Marvin Martian's...laboratory-ish...workspace-ish floating in the middle of space from "Hare-Way To The Stars" (1958, directed by Chuck Jones). Layout Artist Extraordinare Maurice Noble designed both the objects and colors thereof, including an angular red floor meandering through space, with a giant telescopic cannon eminating from a glass-enclosed workshop of sorts. The set of objects in their entirety evoke both modernism and surrealism.

I saw him perform with Scurrow last AC; it was an awesome show
A crowd of furries in front of the stage where "I've Made Too Much Pasta" is performing. L-R on stage: Duster (Guitar), Dyl (Bass), Scurrow (Lead Vocals, Accordion), Para (Drums, Backing Vocals), Mortis (Guitar, Backing Vocals). This took place in the Allegheny Ballroom in the Westin at Anthrocon 2024.
