Text reads: How it feels when your spine is aging faster than the rest of your body - You make grandpa noises when you bend over
Art depicts: Holly bear leaning down to scoop up a ball to throw for a playful dog. Going Ungh and grimacing as she does so.

Text reads: If you twist around at just the wrong angle, you'll feel it for days
Art depicts: Holly in the kitchen opening a high up cabinet while lifting the lid off a pot at the same time. Her spine in an extended position goes CRUNCH!

Text reads: Going from laying down to standing up too fast be like:
Art depicts: Holly bear slumped over the couch looks up and jumps to her feet quickly with excitement as Husburr calls "I'm home!" at the door.

Art depicts: Having gotten up too fast for her neck Holly experiences dizzyness and pain. Shown as all the car alarms/errors going off at once with a DING! DING! DING! noise

I'm not done with this bullshit. Suggesting when we buy games, digital or otherwise, we don't own them is RIDICULOUS. Every single game I've ever bought before digital was the norm? IS. MINE. Of course it's "reasonable". It's ALWAYS been the expectation because it was this way for DECADES.

Changed the spark plugs on my ‘09 Wrangler yesterday. Driver side plugs took maybe 30 minutes, even taking my time. The passenger side ones, though… May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits of the designer who packaged that side of the engine bay.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: scim.ag/42dMPBg

To verify images, digital forensics investigators will often check whether the geometry of the scene is realistic. In a real photo, lines that run parallel in reality—like floor tiles—should meet at a single vanishing point. In this image, however, the dotted lines do not meet in a single point, indicating it is a fake.
Image: an AI-generated image of soldiers marching down a hallway in three lines, wearing fatigues and carrying rifles. Four dotted white lines have been added over the image, running along the floor tiles visible in the foreground and extending back to where the vanishing point should be, behind the soldiers. Instead of meeting in a single point, the lines all cross at different points.

Investigators also examine reflections. The lines connecting points on an object to matching points in its mirror image run parallel in reality, so similarly should meet at a vanishing point. In this image, the lines again do not converge on one point, revealing it to be a fake.
Image: An AI-generated image of a plastic cartoon dinosaur toy with its reflection visible in a small mirror. Four dotted white lines are layered over the image, connecting points on the toy with the same points on its reflection: the top of its eye, the end of its jaw, its hand, and its foot. The lines extend out to the side of the image, where they all cross at different points rather than meeting at a single point.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

This thing 🫴

HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!
A screenshot of a link with a question mark followed by a seemingly random string of characters.
These are source identifiers. Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Replaced the leaking radiator in my sister’s ‘09 Wrangler yesterday, and was surprised how easy it mostly was. Looks like a lot going on in the pics, but it really wasn’t bad.

Engine bay of a 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The grille is removed, and the cooling system is partially disassembled to replace the radiator.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

I can feel the Christmas noose beginning to tighten all too soon 🎃🙅🎄 #OldBearComics #TheBearMinimum

Holly bear stands in a supermarket, looking at days after Halloween candy on sale. She says: "Man what a good Halloween! I love that spooky fall feel-". She is distracted by distant music playing 'Holly jolly Christmas' & asks (afraid) "Wait what was that?"

Holly bear takes off screaming "No! Not now!" as too early Christmas decorations put out by the store move in aggressively towards her.
'I don't know if there'll be snow but have a cup of cheer' sounds in the background louder now as the song continues.

A desperate Holly bear struggles to get through the store's door screaming "HELP! It's got me!!" as her claws scrape the doorframe, she is being pulled back in by the Christmas decorations. Holly Jolly Christmas continues to play louder.

Holly bear is yanked back inside as the door slams on her, trapped in the store. Ominously the last refrain of 'Holly jolly Christmas' seeps loudly through the shut door.

As Halloween nears, let’s take a moment to reflect on the TRUE holiday horrors Gen-X and early Millennials suffered at the hands of our parents. Behold the “costumes” my sister and I wore for Halloween in 1980, and despair! 😬

Vinyl Halloween “costume” from 1980: a bad polyethylene mask of a licensed character, and a vinyl onesie bearing the copyrighted IP with even worse “artwork”.

The “costume” pictured consists of a polyethylene mask of the cartoon character Strawberry Shortcake. The onesie is patterned like a red & white antique sun dress, and the upper half is adorned with the cartoon’s eponymous title card. The bottom half bears the likeness of the eponymous lead character sitting with a cartoon cat among green leaves.

Not pictured: the godawful stench of poorly-cured vinyl, cheap plastic, and industrial airbrush paint.

My sister had the absolute misfortune of having worn a copy of this costume as a child.

Folks called and asked for help catching an injured crow. Young adult, possible broken right wing. It was scared, but very gentle & let me approach after a couple minutes. Let me pick it up (carefully to not aggravate the bad wing) & place in a box for transport.

Stayed the week at Pala Casino’s RV park & found the furry-bait slot machine! 🐺😄 It… it did not treat me very nicely. That $14 win was the biggest one I got in the hour or so I played it. 😓 Bonus pic of my RV & Jeep at twilight. 🙂

Took a pic of the moon Monday night shortly after the conjunction, and was surprised Mars is actually visible in the shot (small dot above the moon & slighly off center). Not bad for a cell phone shot, hand-held, in a brightly-lit area. #moon #mars #conjunction
