Little cold in Vermont today.
Me in ski gear. Green helmet. Red lensed goggles on the forehead. My beard and mustache are filled with ice.

My first solo attempt at a wet on wet oil painting. Need to learn more about paint consistency.
An oil on canvas painting of wintry setting with a stream cutting through the middle. There are 4 big pine trees, 2 on either side of the stream, and an old cabin peaking out from the right side behind the foremost pine tree.

I basically agree with this. In our world, it's a clear choice: you either see all persons as humans or you see them as livestock.

In America, we are currently governed by people who see us as livestock.
Screenshot of a reddit post that reads: I really don’t care if people are here illegally. I don’t. I tried to see why it’s a problem, but I keep hitting that dead-end where I remember a ton of billionaire parasites, mega corporations, politicians, and a host of others are the ones sucking the wealth out of the country. if illegal immigrants are a drain on our economic and social systems, it’s virtually nothing compared to what the elites and the politicians are doing to us. And as for the ”illegal,” part? They could have fixed the immigration system at any time to make it easier to emigrate legally. And crossing the border or overstaying a visa is absolutely nothing compared to whatever is in the Epstein files that Trump refuses to release Again, I really don’t care that people are here illegally.

It's funny, but it's also really not funny.

I spent a chunk of my holiday time off building a custom workout app for myself.
Screenshot of a workout application with "Today's Workout" with bench press and power clean sets and reps. Picture of current 5 rep max numbers by workout and a weekly schedule with body part splits for workouts (upper and lower split).

I see no reason why my skis can't be art, too. Also I might be a Bob Ross fan.
A pair of 16x24 paintings done in Bob Ross' style with oil on canvas depict snowy mountains in the distance below a partially cloudy sky, with a hill of pine between the mountains and an alpine lake, with pine trees bracketing the lake in the foreground, and a bush or twigs poking out here and there. Between the two paintings are two sets of alpine skis. The pair on the left have top sheets with a Bob Ross painting of mountains and Northern Lights. The pair on the right have a top sheet with psychedelic surfy colors of blue, orange, and yellow. The wall these items are hung on is orange peel orange.

I've never laughed so hard at a picture of someone getting punched in the mouth.
Jake Paul getting his lights turned off by Anthony Joshua. Joshua is in the foreground, back to the camera, throwing a right hand punch that is connected to Paul's left cheek. Paul is in the corner against the ropes. Both boxers are sweaty. Paul's eyes are heavy-lidded, his head turned to the left (his right). His lower lip is protuding extensively due to the deformation of his face from the connecting punch. It gives him a derpy expression.

My wife and I did a Bob Ross painting class for an anniversary date. First time using oil paints for me.

My wife is simply brilliant.
Two carved pumpkins on a concrete front porch with a black railing. One pumpkin is on the top platform in the background, and the other is one step down in the foreground. The pumpkin in the background has a large opening with a cutout of the character Jax from Digital Circus. The pumpkin in the foreground has a wide mouth in a smiling shape with two eyes, the right eye (viewers left) is smaller than the left. The mouth and eyes are covered witl crocheted patches, which are sewn into the pumpkin through drilled holes. A carved pumpkin at night sitting on the top step of a concrete front porch, with a black iron railing behind it. You can partially see the front door and sidelight of the house, and in the sidelight window there is a dog looking out. The pumpkin has a wide mouth in a smiling shape with two eyes, the right eye (viewers left) is smaller than the left. The mouth and eyes are covered witl crocheted patches, which are sewn into the pumpkin through drilled holes. The light from within the pumpkin highlights the crocheted pattern, giving the mouth a toothy yet ueven appearance, and the eyes the notion that they are filled with spiderwebs or some kind of hypnotic state.

I finally found a variety that didn’t require a battle against powdery mildew and bud rot (yet). Gonna rain next couple of days and I am thinking maybe today is harvest day. Thoughts?

Those are sick looking - I just always imagine telemark skis being wood grained for some reason. :D

I was in the market for an East Coast snow day ski and J put out a Joy of Skiing issue this year... I think I can run these as daily drivers for the trip out West as well.
A picture of J Skis "Escalator" skis with the "Joy of Skiing 4" top sheet and base, featuring a painting by Bob Ross with a likeness of Bob Ross himself. The painting is of a lakeside cabin in front of a snowy mountain range, with Northern Lights arcing across the night sky.

I’m a child. I just laughed to near tears at this Reddit exchange while waiting for my flight at SEATAC.
The image shows a Reddit comment on a video posted that shows a bunch of women fighting at an airport baggage claim. The first reply says the world is crazy and that they just saw a post about a woman showing her boobs during a road fight. There is one reply to that comment saying “where’s that at”.

I appreciate the sentiment but I am not sure I can get behind "MASA" as a rallying cry. I like "Free America From Oligarchs" (FAFO).

Once upon a time corporate marketing gurus decided the best way to handle trash everywhere is to dress up an Italian guy like a First American and have him cry about it in a TV ad to make regular folks feel like shit, instead of corporations using biodegradable and recyclable containers.
A screenshot of a Xitter post that reads, from user Big Think: "Your Netflis binge-watching makes climate change worse, say experts. The emissions generated by watching 30 minutes of Netflix is the same as driving almost 4 miles" with a reply from Lex Croucher that reads, "cool to guilt-trip ordinary people for every tiny thing that might spark joy while oil execs dip their hands in big barrels of dinosaur juice to lube up every time they have a wank"

I used Copilot to help me plan a section of my flower meadow. I hope that doesn't make me a villain. It started with me asking it which ones to plant in the Fall versus the Spring.
A table that lists several flowers with their heights, bloom period, and where to place them in a garden relative to one another based on height and bloom period as decided by M365 Copilot (using the GPT-4 LLM). The table reads: Flower Height (inches) Bloom Time Placement Joe Pye Weed 60–72" Aug–Oct Back/Center Blazing Star 24–48" Jul–Sep Mid/Back Purple Coneflower 36–48" Jun–Sep Mid/Back New England Aster 36–48" Aug–Oct Mid/Back Dwarf Red Plains Coreopsis 12–24" Jun–Aug Front/Mid Blue Flax 18–24" May–Jul Front Siberian Wallflower 18–24" May–Jun Front

Here's a little 18th century style racism from one of the better regarded "founding fathers." At least the last sentence suggests some self-awareness, which was undoubtedly rare for the time.
A screenshot of a letter from Benjamin Franklin to Jared Eliot dated 12 September, 1751 which reads: "Which leads me to add one remark, that the number of purely white people in the world is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny; Asia chiefly tawny; America (exclusive of the new comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians, and Swedes are generally of what we call a swarthy complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who, with the English, make the principal body of white people on the face of the earth. I could wish their numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, scouring our planet, by clearing America of woods, and so making this side of our globe reflect a brighter light to the eyes of inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we, in the sight of superior beings, darken its people? Why increase the sons of Africa by planting them in America, where we have so fair an opportunity, by excluding all blacks and tawnys, of increasing the lovely white and red? But perhaps I am partial to the complexion of my country, for such kind of partiality is natural to mankind."

Isn't this a plot thread from The Righteous Gemstones? Except in the show's case they were going to sex toy stores and buying all the product.

One possible conclusion to our current national nightmare might be a golden crown for the would-be-king who really really loves gold.
In the Game of Thrones universe, a golden crown is prominently featured in the death of Viserys Targaryen, who is killed by Khal Drogo by having molten gold poured over his head. This act is a gruesome fulfillment of Drogo's promise to give Viserys the "golden crown" he craved.

This “photoperiod” plant I am/was intending to turn into a mother plant started flowering under 16 hours of light. Hrm. I guess I’ll still take clones. Worst case scenario I throw them on a table and do a sea of green grown I guess.
