Animated gif from the movie Beastmaster. Dar (Marc Singer) is asking his ferrets, Kodo and Podo, "What do you think? Should we go after her?"

Ah, I see. Let me see if I can restate your post.

Grover from Sesame Street. Text overlay at the bottom says: Why do I have to share a name with that prick?

This is in Ohio in a suburban area MUCH larger than where Scalzi lives, but still relatively small. The church at the bottom left is 10km away. If I widen this to 15km, I'll double the number. I'm the blue dot in the middle.

Just got back from seeing @scalzi.com and @maryrobinettekowal.com and getting a few books signed. Special thanks to Mary Robinette for personalizing Scalzi's book after he signed it. It's above John's name in the last image.

Here's the biggest 'that goes without saying' note of the year.

I stripped out the company name and prices, because that's not my point.

Companies are starting to use tariffs to advertise.

This doesn't work for everything, but the Reader Mode will bypass some paywalls. I use mobile Opera to do it, usually.

H L Mencken vastly underestimated the end result.
“All of us, if we are of reflective habit, like and admire men whose fundamental beliefs differ radically from our own. But when a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or count himself lost. … All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” –H. L. Mencken Baltimore Sun (26 July 1920)
