Awesome Visualization! On this map the four time zones have been superposed and each city representing a metropolitan agglomeration of 1.5 million people or more has been plotted according to its location in its own time zone. (From May 1979 Scientific American. ILLUSTRATOR Jerome Kuhl.)

"Trump-a-Palooza" (or Trumpapalooza) is the first-ever GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, September 9–10. It's a fundraiser - GOP folks must pay $25,000 to attend. (Or is it only $20,000?) Such a Deal! Who wouldn't pay $25K to hear Trump blather on for an hour, or two hours if you're lucky??

Today I saw this guy smoking while waiting for the same bus. He threw is butt out on the boulevard. I decided not to call him out on it , a vet, possible in his way up to VA hospital. In the past, I have picked up the butt and said “here, I think you dropped something “. YMVM

Today I rode the RVTD.org #10 bus from Ashland to Medford to the Front Street Transfer Station. I picked up a "UMO" card with a $20 balance on it for my return trip and future trips to Medford, Talent, and Phoenix. YaY for transit touring!

So, Trump thinks he's sending California National Guard to clean up Oregon. This doesn’t seem unusual at all. Hey! Trump! Quit picking on Oregon, you pussy. Show us the Epstein Files!

I don't know who did this, but it's perfect. I saw it, then couldn't find it on Gavin Newsom's social media.. then it popped up again. So someone else may have done it without his OK. Anyone know who did it?

Trump's takeover of DC has again raised the possibility of DC becoming the 51st state (on social media and by a congress guy). Standard reaction: "Oh! 51 isn't a round number. Our flag!!" etc. GUESS WHAT --- 51 stars work out fine!

JoHN MiLLeR @moduality.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

There also exist plans for a 52, 53, 54 and even a 55-star flag should there be cause for one.

10 sets of LangTominoes [1-8] arrived on Monday! I'm distributing them to 9 Lucky peeps as time permits. Produced in Canada.

Ten sets of LangTominoes in two nested blocks. Odd LangTominoes nested together on the left, Even on the right. Each set is rainbow colored.

My batch of LangTominos have been produced and shipped! I have an advanced photo of a set, sent by the maker, ItemsByCL.

When LangTominoes 1-8 are nested together, (see top configuration) they take up more width than when fit into a complete arrangement (bottom configuration). Can you explain this? (Hint in comments.)

Planar arrangement of Langtominoes 1-12. (This is one of 40 such 2D planar solutions.)

12 colored U-shaped brackets nesting together nicely in a span on 24 units. (Without gaps)

In 1953, LIFE photographer Hank Walker captured a security guard walking along US Highway 101, dwarfed by towering stacks of hollow iron floats. These massive structures once supported anti-submarine nets used to protect US ports during World War II... 📷 Photo by Hank Walker, 1953.

Happy Easter Langtominoes! (A new project) Langtominoes will be solid. Like 1/2” square wood dowels or some such material. There are 4 such flat planar solutions for n=8. But, what if we are allowed to stand selected ones up?

Good for you. My father was a deer hunter and later, a big game hunter. We ate a lot of venison. I've had everything from Elk (7 years running) to Dahl sheep. Guns used: 30-30 of course, then a 308 Savage. I shot these guns. I know what they could do to flesh. Dad painted this later in life..
