According to the AI overlords:

Based on your photo, here is what is happening in the sky:

Parhelia (Sun Dogs): Those are the bright, colorful spots to the left and right of the sun. They occur when sunlight refracts through hexagonal plate-shaped ice crystals.

22Β° Halo: You can see the faint, circular ring connecting the sun dogs and encircling the sun. This is the most common halo, caused by random orientation of ice crystals.

Parhelic Circle: Note the faint white horizontal line extending outward from the sun dogs. This is a circle that, if complete, would wrap around the entire sky at the same altitude as the sun.

Circumzenithal Arc (CZA): This is the "upside-down rainbow" at the very top of your photo. It is often called the "smile in the sky" and is known for having much purer, more vivid colors than a standard rainbow.

Supralateral Arc: There is a faint, larger arc between the 22Β° halo and the CZA. This is rarer and requires very specific crystal alignment.

Did anyone else see the crazy multi-halo display this morning? πŸŒžβ„οΈπŸŒˆ Pinging @ianlivingston.bsky.social 😁

Thrifting in Lewis, DE and found a 3.5" disk of embroidery patterns for the Husqvarna Viking. There's always something interesting hiding in the strangest shops.

Barbie doll house computer from the 80s with CRT and floppy disk drives. Looks kind of like a Commodore PET.

I take issue with this mindset. It's complete speculation. We can fix anything we put our minds to.

4 panel Garfield parody comic

P1: Jon and Garfield. Garfield thinks the immortal words: "I hate Mondays"

P2: Jon stares at the Garf

P3: Wide panel. Jon leans in toward Not Heathcliffe, gesturing at him with his left hand, and says "why. WHY do you hate Mondays. you are a cat. If anything, *I* should be the one to hate Mondays!"

P5: another wide panel, an extreme closeup of The Cat. He thinks:

"... Even as someone who doesn't work, I am -- as are we ALL-- beholden to a system thatbos toxic to the human (and feline) condition. 

A neverending cycle that chews us up and spits us out. 

I do not hate Mondays, human. I hate what Mondays represent."

There's even a little more he's still getting out of storage.

Absolutely over the moon.

FOMO and eBay prices be damned. There are kind people out there looking to pass along cherished hardware to a good home.

Network with people! Share your passion! When you do, things like this may happen. 😯

A coworker noticed a post on Reddit about someone looking to donate 8 and 16-bit computers. Met up with an older gentleman who was cleaning out in preparation for hitting the road in an RV in the coming years.
