#SongOfTheDay OK Glass - Christmas Car Bomb

Laura Palmer's Theme

I would put a note on my Fermilab cubicle when I left on long vacations. For several years in a row, I repurposed one of Emsh's Santas for my announcements. In 2019, I covered the Arrokoth encounter, beyond Pluto.

oh my god I think I finally figured it out and now have a week to use it. both the glasses store and CVS will be hearing from me

SLAM...FUNK

and then the night is on my mind

Filing this totally freehanded, no-practice hand-embroidered lettering under "worse than I'd hoped but better than I'd feared"

It's not often that I draw a design that immediately becomes a character to me, but it happened here.

what is the normal amount of grey for someone to have in their hair in their early twenties

This is what I was asking last week - the radiation levels around the Chernobyl shield are normal. The problem is that the shield cannot protect against dust that would be raised if the reactor inside is disassembled.

just an fyi for portland ppl, this ursula exhibition is going on until february, it's free, and has a ton of her maps. plan for spending over an hour if you really want to take it all in www.oregoncontemporary.org/a-larger-rea...

I think everyone has approximately the same amount of conspiracy energy, and if you don’t dissipate it decoding taylor swift lyrics or debugging linux drivers, it inevitably comes out as beliefs about faked moon landings

really the part that burns me most is the fact that I'm losing 600+ bucks worth of FSA that I thought would roll over for things I need next year, and I fell so disastrously out of the habit of keeping receipts that I can barely capture back any of that for the time before they cut me off :(

Get a load of this bear from a 1677 map of New England

this toe-up sock gusset and flap heel method is so good I might make this my default sock construction tactic from now on. if I can, um, not make the laundy list of mistakes I made this time in the future

By far my favorite chart from any of @jonbois.bsky.social's videos

episode 2 out tomorrow

Christmas in the Big House. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GY0...

you know it's a good dinner party when M breaks out the explanations of turing machines

In case you were wondering, the "pop" in The Boston Pops is short for "popular", as it is in "pop music"

always a struggle not to laugh at the line "then let them die, and decrease the surplus population" because my father sometimes chooses to advise people to visit the bathroom with the words "decrease the surplus peepulation"

I keep drawing evil women

What is happening. I feel like everyone is changing at the same time for different reasons

Why is it called a bug log when you log in the bug of out hot eat the bug

there is a sign language interpreter at this CAKE concert and every time there’s a trumpet solo she goes nuts miming air trumpet

"lgbt community" isn't a thing and I kind of hate the label because of all the rainbow capitalism it inspires. I still say it if I'm being facetious and cheeky. like saying "how do you do fellow kids" if I'm serious I call it the lgbt movement. it's a political coalition, and an angry one.

It's pretty funny that the first three men to claim to have reached the North Pole were all Americans and all of them are now generally believed to have fabricated their evidence.

saw a post asking what the worst book we read all year was and I think this one still takes the cake.

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

postcard for a certain hotel detective… #tmbg #art

The capstone of an extremely cool day at @massmice.bsky.social was a great talk by Scott McCloud—in which he casually mentioned growing up down the street from Brian Dewan, and that he looked up to the Dewan brothers' comic art when they were in school (!?)

Pair six. These turned out too small for the intended recipient, my grandmother, so they're probably going to my mom. Already have another pair cast on which should go faster.

The First Butterfly #art #illustration

trying to casually clicking away from tmbw as someone approaches to talk to me in the office, going back to a random other tab. after the conversation I look at my screen and I have Genesis chapter 2 pulled up there. Not sure how much that helped

i have created a small crocheted clone of pj in the real world so now he can do evil experiments irl

relearning how to draw with jeremy

people getting their spotify wrapped today: it's a great time to switch to another service. spotify is doubling and tripling down on taking ICE's business and running ads. switching to tidal took me all of a few minutes and they made their own annual most-played thing anyway.

Good ol’ Dougie Adams again

Thinking out loud here: my home laptop's battery is once again borked. Not dangerously so, but dies VERY fast after being unplugged. First/last time this happened was in early 2023, so the $40 battery lasted about a year and a half. Pretty good investment for an $800 laptop from 2018.
