when you have a kid for a couple decades you find sometimes they're right about something and you're wrong, and it's easy to accept it graciously. sometimes they know more than you about something specific and you learn from it. you can even say sorry to them! it's actually all hilariously easy

Drove past a sign advertising new "luxury" homes and wondered what ever happened to a nice little house in a neighborhood with an actual library and post office.

I've progressed from "oh look, there's a possum in the back yard" to "let's check the backyard critter cam to see if the possums were out last night" to "maybe I should make a possum house"

This isn't a metaphor. Just a story about a roach. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/roach-2 PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

4-panel SMBC comic update. The first panel shows a cartoon little roach happily saying "oh man! The stupid human put food in here. fool!" The next panel shows the roach walking away from a poison trap as he says "I’m gonna give it to everyone!" The third panel shows a human at his computer with a similar expression to that of the cartoon roach. The man says "this stupid company made a controversial ad. How embarrassing for them!" The man then walks away from the computer desk, at an angle reminiscent to the panel where the roach walks away from the poison trap. The man says "better share with all my friends and family so everyone knows which ad not to look at."

"doesn't understand the appeal of patina" feels like neat summation of American aesthetics

A BBC story headline reads: "Worth $5M? Visitors react to renovated Washington horse statues." There are two photos. One from 2013 that shows the horse statues in their older, patina state. And one from 2026 that shows them covered in 23.75-karat gold leaf.

For #InternationalCatDay, here is Pippin, the store cat at Leighton's. He climbs onto selected customers (me in this case), hugs them, and helps them select shiny rocks.

A large black and white cat clings to the back of a person with long silver hair and a black shirt, who is looking at a jewelry display case inside a rock and gem shop. A sign in the background reads "Maine Tourmaline." A salesperson in a blue shirt is standing behind the case.

I've been thinking about my star-spangled swimsuit from that era, and my friend announcing she had Bicentennial eyes after an afternoon in the pool. I was ten. I may stay alive for the tricentennial simply out of spite, or stubborn hope.

Bad design of vehicles plus bad design of intersections = deadly. I drive a relatively small giant SUV. I try to drive it with the knowledge that at some point I'm gonna get out and be one of the people crossing the road, and I don't want to get run over either.

Trying a paper for the first time: can I make books from it? can I paint on it? can I print on it? does it come in different colors? evidently, yes to all! (although the laid side has visible fibers that might felt up a bit with typical sketchbook handling, we shall see)

A picture of two scraps of brown paper on a table. They have "New Paper!" and "Shin Inbe" written in ink and watercolor as well as some patches of watercolor and a pen doodle of a cat.

Putting aside for a sec the insultingly low pay and repetitive stress injuries: Why is anyone training robots to interact with 20th century machines designed for humans to use them? A stove that prepares food sounds great, but is not going to look like a person standing in front of a 30x30x36 box

A painting in watercolor and ink on paper of floating logs and driftwood on the sandy shore of a river on a clear late winter afternoon. A red container ship is visible in the distance.

An open sketchbook showing a gouache study of floating logs and driftwood on the sandy shore of a river on a clear late winter afternoon. The river reflects the blues and pale yellows in the sky, while the shore is painted in darker, earthy reds. A brighter red shape is in the distance. Handwritten notes at the bottom say "violet, not quite so red" and "Kelly Pt Park high water"

This morning's odd but reassuring health dream: a 15mm port in my chest irised open, and through it I could see my heart, major blood vessels, and other nearby insides like a live anatomical model. A bright, busy queen triggerfish was nibbling around in there, keeping things tidy.
