John Roberts drawing penis graffiti in art class
Photo of John Roberts and another person, from behind. They are sitting on stools and each one is working on a drawing of a lobster. John Roberts’ drawing looks a lot like penis graffiti.

Feels kinda ironic that p5 is being used for this, given their intent: “p5.js is a friendly tool for learning to code and make art. It is a free and open-source JavaScript library built by an inclusive, nurturing community. p5.js welcomes artists, designers, beginners, educators, and anyone else!”

De fingres…
An image from the 1989 film adaptation of Henry V. Katherine examines her hand, wondering how the English have made such a mess of the original French words for the various body parts, while her maid looks on in silent affirmation.

I suspect it’s a very odd Groundhog Day kind of situation. The person wakes up every morning to Sonny and Cher, and then no matter what they try, they are trod upon by T-Rex. I wonder if they’ve ever tried getting T-Rex to fall in love with them?

The bottleneck isn’t the coding process. The bottleneck is understanding the problem-space and understanding what a good solution looks like. AI coding tools don’t do anything to address either of those challenges.

Exactly. The TPS designation was deliberately terminated by the Trump administration. The NY Times is obscuring the facts and the blame.

I read the first letter as a capital D. And the letter that looks like an x is really a u or v? Maybe you could get David out of it? It’s really hard to know what’s going on with the second letter. I’ve spent a lot of time puzzling out old cursive writing for genealogy and I hate cross outs.

I love to see a great sculpt with a paint job that makes it even better! My favorite part might be the shield on the first figure. Such a great look!

So much good stuff from Chuck Jones. Ralph Phillips is one of my favorites. I love the way the cartoon shifted from the mundane world to Ralph’s dream world and back so smoothly. And the style was just fantastic!
Characters depicted with white lines on a black background. Ralph Phillips, a young boy, battles the number 5 in a sword battle. The number 5 is using the number 4 as a sword.

I thought that Jan Hus and the Hussites were a surfer rock band from the early 60s. They had a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in rock-n-roll.

My take on dental insurance…the premiums basically offset the cost of routine exams, and having the insurance gets you access to the negotiated rates for everything else. Making sure I get the negotiated rates is the real driver for me.

Thanks for the update. I’m really hoping we get video of them rigging it up. Lifting the engine-end of the spaceship-boat in the open ocean must have been a challenging piece of work!

Seems likely that this account is pro-bollard, not pro-police.

It’s AI, so that’s bad. But they're not taking the side of the police. They’re standing with the bollard.

It’s been a few years, but I’ve used that same strategy. I guess it works because emails usually go to an internet sales manager who has the authority to set a price. And it was interesting to see how close the offers were to each other. I don’t know what their real costs are, but they do!

Right. These are basically exhibition games. Or maybe it’s better to say they’re competitive games that use some special rules—rules designed to reward showy and sometimes goofy play.

Organizing my hobby area is an ongoing an effort. Sometimes more going, sometimes less going.
An image of a work table. It has a large number of items cluttering the surface, including a variety of glues, scissors, knives, and many plastic bottles of painting aids. There are also a variety of figures on the table in a variety of scales and levels of completeness.

According to the Archbishop, that only applies between the floods of Sala and of Elbe. Not sure where that is, but probably somewhere in Florida. It floods a lot there.

I don’t know which I find more surprising, that Mitch McConnell is alive or that the Wapo still has a sports page.

Ok, the franken-burritos I can live with. And your photos of your critters are adorable. But this system of numbering your skeets is an abomination and cannot stand.

Ghost (2026)
A still from the 2026 remake of Ghost, featuring a highly erotic (and frankly disturbing) scene; a ghostly Mitch McConnell helps Elaine Chou make some extremely suggestive pottery.

They’ve been going on for about two hours now. Some of the planes are a lot louder than others. The Air Force jets were probably what you heard. They’ve been the loudest so far.

I’ve seen it described in an article as 851,000 shells. They didn’t give any details as to the type of shells, though.

Mini of the month - John Blanche Entry 17 by @mxhollyclara.bsky.social We Are Legion #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth
A Skeleton Horde marches across a dark and foreboding countryside. A menacing, twisted tree looms in the background. The skeletons recede into the distance, like there is no end to their numbers. A very “Heavy Metal” banner of a skull with a rose in its mouth is being carried by one of the skeletons. The banner reads “We are Legion”. It’s more than apt, because those of us who have been inspired by John Blanche are Legion - and are always grateful for what he gave us.A Skeleton Horde marches across a dark and foreboding countryside.

Thanks! I’ve had a bunch of these sitting around for 40 years, mostly unpainted. It was nice to finally get one done.
