#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 14 Cardinals have the best red, especially in the winter. 🪶

Year 14: day 123: Had a lovely afternoon with Bill and one of my oldest friends (in terms of length of time known, not age!) Alia following the Snoopy in the City trail around Fleet Street. This installation was called Home for Christmas created by Amanda Quellin. #ArtAdventCalendar (1/2)

Great interview with one of the rescued crew who explains in very much his second language at the end of a very tough day that the engine lost interest and then the boat was blown "into the stone".

Annual reminder: Die Hard is about using impossibly limited resources to defend a tower from foreign invaders. Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie.

Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar I spotted this lovely Great Horned Owl while driving, pulled over & used the railing on a bridge to steady my camera. You can see the sunrise in its eyes… 🪶 1/80, f/6.3, ISO 1000

There's a bit of an art to photographing a black dog. Digital sensors tend to gather more info in darkness than brightness so I set exposure to avoid burning out highlights. The edit's then largely about creatively bringing up the shadows (using adjustment layers). for #ArtAdventCalendar day14 #dog

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

Please stop sending highly-skilled assassins to murder me. It's mean and it hurts my feelings

Kind of fucking sucks that my reflexive reaction to any “animal doing a cute thing” video now is “is this AI?“

kitchens are now battlefields

Snoot booped! Snoot booped!! We got booped by the snoot!!! We had a most wonderful encounter with a curious manatee today :)) #manatee #manateesofcoralcity #seacow #seapotato #boop #boopthesnoot #whiskers #sirenia #cutiepie #coral #coralhead #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #biscaynebay #coralcity

Is it dancing like a goofball? It's dancing like a goofball, isn't it. 💯❤️

i bet she’d be a great boss

In a supervisory or final battle sense? Oh who am I kidding, both.

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

the world has changed

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

i need for all you Whovians out there to listen to this. (it's a great Saturday morning vibe, in any case)

How Did the C.I.A. Lose a Nuclear Device? (Ok the headline is slightly misleading as it was a Pu RTG, but this is the best write up of this incident I think I’ve seen). www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Shop Safety.

So what I’m hearing is that when we lose all contact with Australia, we just give the continent up as lost and put naval patrols in the waters around it to contain the new kangaroo empire.

Teaching requires a lot of patience and a surprising amount of pocket space. We’re glad our skirts can help in ways we didn’t anticipate. Thank you, Tumblr user: electroniccollectiondonut What do you use your pockets for? #store

I second this!!! I've hidden an entire ball in there and also had a class go absolutely BALLISTIC when they saw my entire tea thermos slip into a pocket. They kept handing me more water bottles and I wound up fitting 5 between both (one was HUGE). They started calling me "Ms Hydroflask".

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

I just revisited a little piece I wrote about ten years ago, about TV clock idents. Turns out: · There is at least one person out there in the world who also recreates TV clock idents in JavaScript · The Polish TV clock wasn’t even Polish! aresluna.org/the-clock/

The barter system doesn't always work. #birds

The earbud thief has logged on. #birds

Heads up, literally!

Just scrolling along liking every single “Happy 100th to Dick Van Dyke” post I see because I want to summon that kind of energy into my world

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke, still dancing somewhere in the background of our collective happiness.

Se acabó Lego para Dick Van Dyke.

Great night of outreach tonight! It was the first clear night in weeks. I had several people come bay and check out Saturn, many who said they had never looked through a 🔭before!

Steven Morris formerly of UofT, (who may be familiar as the Domino Guy in several memes) has studied washboarding extensively! They built a machine to drive a wheel around and around in a little test bed!

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

We salute you, Charles Clyde Ebbets

Here he is taking the photo.

it's too late, I have already depicted myself as the cool ass pipe smoking guy using the panasonic rl-h1400 hhc pocket computer with rl-p4001 acoustic coupler and you as the seiko uc-2100 calculator watch expansion

The #BEASTLab won second place in the departmental holiday decoration contest!

I usually post widefield colour "postcard" views of Mars, but today, just for a change, here's a rather more abstract view for you all... Perseverance's tracks meandering across the Martian landscape... Hope you like it! Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/S Atkinson

Still struggling these days, but getting by!
