Every time this guy comes up playing absolutely anything, I feel obligated to share it. If I had any musical talent, this would be me.

I’ve mentioned it before, but I absolutely love Jim Henson’s corporate films from the 60s. Much like Stan Freberg’s innovative pieces of the same period, Henson’s team had no qualms about going with weird, wonderful concepts that would have stuck out amongst its competition...

This promotional film for ESSO's Flying A stations even manages to work in a little bit of animation via a trademark Muppet ending...

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

found a goofy computer

A Panasonic HHC and tons of accessories in a briefcase. the computer itself looks like a calculator and it's plugged into an acoustic coupler, a small printer, a tv out, a ram expansion, and an RS-232 connector

October 26th is Intersex Awareness Day.

Intersex bodies are neither wrong nor unnatural. Sex exists on a spectrum.

[ID : Myrick, a boy with dark hair says : Being intersex doesn't mean to be "both a man and a woman" or "born with two sexes". It means to be born with variations in sex characteristics that do not fit nicely in the traditional male/female binary. "Sex exists within a spectrum" is written at the bottom.]

this. if i heard nearly as much advocacy for clean air as i do complaints about mitigatory behaviors like masking maybe we’d be having different conversations.

Walker Bragman @walkerbragman.bsky.social · 13h

And if you hate masking, push for clean indoor air rules in workplaces, schools, and medical settings. Support businesses that have HEPA filters going.

Normal has changed.

When masked federal secret police agents descended on a peaceful Chicago suburb, residents sprang into an organized resistance action, hollering and documenting their bullshit. Their coordinated Rapid Response network resistance effort worked.

Finally got around to doing a tour of the Allegheny Observatory.
OMIGOD! Should have gone sooner! Will go again!

The history of Pittsburgh astronomy is SO AMAZING!

There wasn't enough light to take pictures of the SUPER COOL TELESCOPES. I got to pull the rope to close the dome! I saw Saturn!

Photo of part of the Allegheny Observatory building at dusk. It's a gorgeous place with columns.

Bronze statue of the fantastic John Brashear. He went from millright to astronomer to university chancellor. He was a wonderful man who sang in his church choir and praised his wife for her contributions to the work they did together on lenses and mirrors.

Also drawing fat people is fun. Fat people are so beautiful. The curves and arcs and folds are so elegant and delightful to draw. The form is full and almost musical. Every time I get to draw a fat person its such a pleasure!

If you learn to do it you will see what I mean!

One of the reasons I love retro-SF futures is because they speak to this increasing trend of turning shit off and disconnecting devices. When AWS goes down and bricks your bed, fridge, and thermostat, the appeal of analog is keenly felt.
