Hand on leg. Natural pose. The other position looks awkward.

Just finished Flinch. Do you ever make tiny changes for reprints or paperbacks? Without spoiling those who haven't read it yet, over final fish tacos I'd love a line of her asking if they'd reviewed a certain burner phone's logs yet. A certain funder might not skate as scot-free as he thinks... 😉

Yes, two spaces after a period is an artifact from a typewriter. But still use them in raw unformatted text. Yes, computers can remove them if unwanted in the final format. But if wanted, they're much harder to re-add to sentence endings and not to things like name titles or abbreviations.

"Less than a month"?!? They started Monday. Today is Thursday. That's THREE DAYS.

Zoom in on this pic. Criminal.👇

The ENTIRE East Wing is now gone, including its walkway to what's left of the White House.

Not a top-ten fan-fave, but I've always liked this episode. As a kid I audio-recorded a dozen episodes and listened to them endlessly for years before the reruns got syndicated. I can still recite this one verbatim. "A ghost planet?" "I suggest no supernatural explanation, Captain..." 😉 🖖

Same bridge shows up in Toby Tyler, Follow Me Boys, Dukes of Hazzard, Greatest American Hero, Desperate Housewives, and many more. The Disney website says it "continues to be used by the ranch staff and production companies to this day."

Spotted in Chicago's Daly Plaza during the June-14-2025 No Kings protest: A handmade sign featuring Star Trek Voyager's Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine, with the legend "RESISTANCE IS *NOT* FUTILE."

Heh. You remind me of this classic ad.

I solved this by saving the background under each person in its restore buffer, drawing the person, then XORing its restore buffer. That way, "erasing" the drawn person wouldn't just blindly save/overwrite onto the background, it would XOR the drawn person away, and overlaps cleaned themselves up.

I once created the graphics for a game that had multiple little people running around on the screen simultaneously, but we had to code it for a single bitmapped screen memory (Apple ][). A normal "save" and "restore" under each person would've left bits of other people behind if they overlapped.

History always has a lesson.

It might as well be: "Nice economy you have there. It'd be a shame if something were to HAPPEN to it..."

"My orders came through. We're bombing the storage depots at Daquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar." "When will you be back?" "I can't tell you that. It's classified."

And still better opsec than the current clowns. 😡

If it’s not classified: release it all. Goldberg should publish it. They’ve said it’s not classified. Ok then. Let’s stick it in bright daylight.

Pontiac Fiero GT. Also pretty zoomy-looking even parked.

Senator Tina Smith & A @SenTinaSmith More bullsh!t. @realDonaldTrump, you can't shut down the Department of Education - and you know it. Fox News even knows it. So stop it. We know you're just trying to wear us out. But for the record, I am not overwhelmed. My zone isn't flooded. I will fight your illegal behavior until the cows come home, and I'm pretty sure the hundreds of thousands of people who've contacted my office since you started this nonsense are on the same page

Be like Tina.

Good morning from the ruins of the Department of Education

"Canadian fight terminology" post from Lori Meeboer Art, with added "DEFCAN LEVEL" labels.

Thanks to @lorimeeboerart.bsky.social for the original text. Dunno who added the red details, but I liked it enough to clean up its graphics (the post I saw on a different social-media platform was jpeg-compressed into ugliness).

Short: Nazis awaiting trial st Nuremberg displayed no empathy for others. Elon Musk calls empathy a “western weakness.) My conclusion: Musk is an evil psychopath and it’s obvious that he is a soulless Nazi who, for the good of humanity, should be confined to a SuperMax prison for as long as he lives.
