Cant get over the fact that we are so close to being able to emulate Sega Channel on real hardware. Props to the Sega Channel Revival project.

This is running on my Mega Everdrive on a Genesis 2.
A screen displaying a Sega Channel screen, which was an early streaming service for Genesis games. Think Audible but for video games.

i made a screw.
A close-up, high-contrast image showcasing a sleek, futuristic design of a hand gripping a large, rounded metallic object. The object appears to be a stylized hammer or mallet with a smooth, polished surface, giving it a high-tech, almost cyberpunk aesthetic. The background is dark, which accentuates the metallic sheen and sharp edges of the object, creating a dramatic and modern visual effect. A close-up view of a small, metallic screw or bolt with a rounded head placed on a textured, brown surface against a dark background. The screw has a shiny, reflective surface, highlighting its metallic texture.

"What a great gift! Ha ha!"
In this cheerful holiday-themed image, three individuals are gathered in what looks like a cozy café or bakery. The background features festive decorations, including a sign with a coffee cup and the word "Coffee" illuminated in a retro style. Snowflakes are falling, adding to the wintry atmosphere. The person on the left, wearing a dark coat and a red knit cap, is receiving a gift or card from the person in the center, who is wearing a Santa hat and a blue apron. The person in the center is smiling warmly and appears to be handing over a red gift card or envelope. The person on the right, also wearing an apron, is smiling and seems to be part of the cheerful exchange, possibly a café worker or baker. The overall mood of the image is warm, festive, and inviting, capturing a moment of holiday cheer and community. It's the classic Pennsylvania Lottery winter holiday commercial.

some art of my corner of #philadelphia

a mockup stamp (which went on my Holiday eCards!).

#philly #roxborough #nwphilly
A stylized mock stamp design welcoming visitors to Gorgas Park in Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA. The top section showcases a vintage-style banner with the words "Welcome to Gorgas Park" in a bold, classic font. Below the banner, the name "Gorgas Park" is prominently displayed in a decorative script with an illustration of a small building or pavilion and the establishment year "Est. 1895." The bottom section of the image has the text "Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA" in a bold, serif font, framed by a decorative border resembling a postage stamp. The overall design is reminiscent of a vintage postcard or commemorative stamp, celebrating the historical and cultural significance of Gorgas Park.

A man is sitting in front of a glowing orb, seemingly deep in thought. The orb emits a blue light that casts reflections on the surrounding furniture and walls. Text overlays appear above and below the orb, reading "Me pondering my orb" and "My orb," respectively. The overall aesthetic has a dreamy, ethereal quality, as if the man is communicating with or receiving guidance from the orb.

Since covid, my wife and i have become big Garden People because, with social distancing, it was a real outlet. Peppers are the only thing that grow in our dumb clay backfill soil, so, I make hot sauce every year.

Here is this year's label. The Arabic text is […]

[Original post on hoagie.cloud]
A circular orange label for "The Burning Bush" with bold red text arcing the top. Central design includes a red flame icon containing a white tree-like symbol, surrounded by Arabic script within a brown border. Above the flame: "GROWN & BOTTLED"; below: "IN PHILLY ON NOV 2025"; bottom arc: "1 MILLION SCOVILLES" in white text.

joining the chorus of #auroraborealis pics, this time, from the heart of Philadelphia! light pollution be damned. took a 10 minute exposure to get it to really stand out.
A night sky illuminated by vibrant green aurora borealis, with silhouetted bare tree branches in the foreground and a residential building featuring lit windows and a chimney. Stars twinkle across the dark expanse, capturing the serene beauty of the northern lights over a quiet urban landscape.

I'll never get over the fact that Philly has Arabic "I Voted" stickers 🤩

@unlambda @tailscale Tailscale injecting AI slop into a brilliant product that relies on it being popular in homelabs so decision-makers bring the same tech with them to work projects?

Remember what they took from us
The image depicts a black man with a beard, smoking a pipe wearing a pinstripe suit with a white collar, he's holding open what appears to be a PDA, but it is actually a type of modem that was common in the 80s called an acoustic coupler. This is attached to a payphone with a privacy shield in what appears to be a busy airport.

still a little proud of this Arabic graffiti tag-style painting I did. it says "Zahra / زهرة", which is my niece's name. "Zahra / زهرة " 's literal meaning is 'flower,' but can also refer to a queen.

@demarko remember in 2009 when I had everyone on Twitter changing their profiles to frog suits?

The Frog Suit Army returned at our hour of greatest need.

I found wild tomatoes??? Is #philly really SO ITALIAN that tomatoes grow wild on the roadside?

(That's a rhetorical question, the answer is yes)

#bloomscrolling
A collection of miscellaneous weeds on roadside in Philadelphia Upon closer inspection, we see that amongst the thicket is a very healthy looking tomato plant with several green unripe tomatoes on the vine
