Post a famous bathroom scene
The Dude (Jeff Bridges) sits on the floor next to the toilet into which Jackie Treehorn’s goon has just dunked his head. His hand is on his torso with fingers spread as he identifies himself to his aggressors. From THE BIG LEBOWSKI (1998)

I'm basking in Tolkien's depiction of the ring's invisibility effect as enveloping the wearer in a cloud of smoke
Detail of Tolkien's "Conversation with Smaug" painting, showing the silhouette of Bilbo Baggins, bowing deeply and holding his hat in his left hand. he is surrounded by a white cloud that covers his body and pools around his feet.

Bram Cohen’s essay on “Getting Over Bad Habits” referred to a habit of “downtrodden programmers” who unilaterally force change by creating a disaster and seeing what gets fixed. I thought about this all the time when DOGE’s bright boys went on their rampage. web.archive.org/web/20170628...
2. Glop Refactoring You've got a lake which you want to use as a source of hydroelectric power. The normal way to do this would be to construct a dam, then dig a trench leading from the lake to the dam to the ocean, and start collecting power. Only you can't do that. There will be interminable political arguments about where the trench should be, how much water it should let through, what the design of the dam will be, and just about anything else which can be argued over. There is no way a dam will ever get constructed. But you have learned a way. Without getting anyone's permission, as a single unilateral act, you dig a trench from the lake to the ocean and just let water start coursing through. Sure, it's going to drown a nearby town if it keeps up, but that town is certain to make damn well sure a dam is built to keep itself from going underwater, and then you'll have a dam. I hate to break it to you, but you're going to have to stop doing that. Yes, I know chaos is fun. Yes, I know it's very effective to just change an interface resulting in a build broken in 500 places and wait for everyone else to fix their code to comply with yours, but really, you can do things in a much more orderly way now, and bringing the project to a state of total anarchy is uncalled for, however much fun it may be.

Today I learned about @markhamillofficial.bsky.social wearing bleached jeans in Star Wars
Tweet by Mark Hamill @MarkHamill on November 25, 2019: The pants I wore in the 1st film were just Levi bluejeans- bleached-out, with the back pockets removed. George called #StarWars "The most expensive low-budget movie ever made" & every penny spent had to show up on the screen. I think they started with my costume... #TrueStory Quoting tweet by Christopher Bennett @BennettBuild on Nov 24, 2019, replying to @alexqarbuckle: I think @HamillHimself is wearing jeans in this classic shot, but only he and wardrobe knows for sure. May the shorts be with you.

Just went back and re-read the ending of that episode. Freaking poetry
Most drowning victims, by all accounts, have expressions of horror on their faces, signs of their last struggle. Dennis Wilson didn’t. He was found curled up in a foetal position, with a smile on his face, looking for all the world as if he’d just decided to lie down and have a rest. And that’s probably, in the end, just what happened. After thirty-nine years of running, from his father, from Charles Manson, and from an emptiness inside himself that no amount of love or drugs could fill, Dennis Wilson decided to rest, for the first and only time in his existence:

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

There are very few albums I consider “perfect” from any year but 1986 had some contenders
