Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them

No whitespace

After moving to SoCal several years ago I basically stopped knitting Recently I’ve been trying to get back into it since it’s nice to have something to do with my hands Picked up yarn in Iceland and made my mug a sweater :)

My hand holds up a large handmade mug which is wrapped in a band knitted from grey wool into a simple cable pattern. It’s fastened with small brown buttons. A cat lies in my lap underneath

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.

Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

My contrarian take on Pluto and planethood is that this is an opportunity to get excited about the whole roster of Dwarf Planets, many of which are named after other mythological figures beyond the Greeks! That's neat! Spare some love for the other 8 dwarf planets!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_p...

A piece of crop art that deserves more attention: Liberty Leading the People by Bethany Nagan, which earned a 3rd place ribbon. This is her first piece of crop art, and I think she used literally every seed in the catalog 😂. The parallels between this and the Guernica piece are beautiful.

Liberty Leading the People made of crop art. Liberty has been replaced with a loon, the French flag with Minnesota's flag, and the guns with resistance signs. It includes many other references and allusions to the resistance to ICE and Operation Metro Surge.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

Ok I’m waiting in a parking lot for the rental to charge so let’s post more Iceland eclipse pics Here’s the same view during early transit, late transit, totality, and right after totality

A cloudy grey sky with a distant volcano and enormous rocks by the sea

A cloudy sky with a distant volcano and enormous rocks by the sea. The light has a slightly eerie quality to it, a bit yellow maybe

The volcano and rocks with a dark blue cloudy sky. Reality was even darker, though the clouds did diffuse some light

Destiny’s lore has been routinely saved by preservationists. With support ending on Destiny 2, their work becomes even more crucial. We speak to some of those responsible for archiving years’ worth of Bungie storytelling, including MyNameIsByf and the people behind the Ishtar Collective.
