I think I remember that you were in Minneapolis earlier this year and posted some really nice photos; if you visit again, this one is worth a look-see, if the wind chill isn't -7 and maybe there's even some sunlight. It should be on Street View using that intersection, in the meantime.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

A while back in a post here I mentioned I’d spend more time here if there was a magic button that hid all the posts about whatever was trending at the moment.

“Why would you want to do that?” everyone said, thinking it was a rhetorical question.

We were watching it on streaming video last night. Another one on Friday, probably at night, hoping it doesn't affect her afternoon flight

I’ll add a trigger warning for Little Nemo, because one continuing character was a racial stereotype. McCay’s art was breathtaking, though. Krazy Kat featured gender-fluid characters in a visually surreal land, and @tisserand.bsky.social wrote a great biography about Herriman just a few years ago.

I like when you do a word frequency count and start finding oblique little poems.

After my home city of Chicago, Austin’s best represented in my photo gallery. Wonderfully colorful and visual city. I picked up a panoramic film camera recently, and I’d love to use it there, especially with something like CineStill 800T at dusk.

If you become mayor, there are all these tornado sirens we only use for a few minutes each week and then they just sit there, just saying

This is today’s Random Thing That Made Me Really Happy.

2600 magazine used to devote one of its covers to photos of payphones from around the world.

It turns out there’s an archive! www.2600.com/payphones#1/...

I just got a notification that activity is increasing again, but we’re clouded over. It’s kind of remarkable that we went without cloud cover for as long as we did, when we needed to.

Same. I’m hoping to put together a trip to that region to see the total solar eclipse next year, and fingers are so crossed that the Northern Lights would be visible during totality.
