“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

jon (2017) (1/3)

Warm yellow fancomic cover. A gray toned comic panel of Jon Arbuckle from Garfield lies, as though on a table, in the center of the cover.

JON: a fancomic by gale galligan

PANEL 1
Exterior of a suburban house.
LIZ (off): I promise, you'll have a great time. We've known each other since undergrad, they're all really nice.
JON: But do any of them like polka?

PANEL 2
Liz and Jon prep snacks in the kitchen.
LIZ: Sweetie, nobody likes polka.
JON: Tell that to the international polka association.

PANEL 3
They carry party snacks out of the kitchen.
JON: Remind me: Jody and Evan, Ravi and Dan, Anna?
LIZ: Emma and Cameron.

PANEL 4
Liz sets down a party tray. She glares at a cat in the foreground. The cat yawns. It's Garfield.
LIZ: These are for the guests.

PANEL 1
Garfield eyes the snacks from a couch; a dog, Odie, is drooling over them.
JON (off): So Jody, Ravi, and Emma are vets, Evan's a lawyer, Dan's...
LIZ (off): A social worker, and Cam's an editor. For a science mag, I think.
JON (off): Hoo boy.

PANEL 2
Jon tries to bail; Liz grabs his arm.
JON: I'm gonna go pick out a tie.
LIZ: Come on! They're regular people.

PANEL 3
Liz hugs Jon tight.
JON: I dunno, Liz, it's just -- / it's my first time meeting your friends, and they're all... / I don't want to embarrass you.
LIZ: Jon.

PANEL 4
She takes his face in her hand.
LIZ: They're going to be our friends now.

PANEL 5
They kiss.
SFX: ding dong

PANEL 1
Liz opens the door to reveal Ravi (holding wine and wearing a tie) and Dan (in a snappy turtleneck).
LIZ: Ravi! Dan!
RAVI AND DAN: Liz!

PANEL 2
Ravi hugs Liz.
RAVI: You haven't changed a bit! How's work?
LIZ: Oh, the usual. Tiny dogs everywhere.
RAVI: Don't I know it.

PANEL 3
Ravi shakes hands with Jon; Dan has a hand on Ravi's shoulder.
RAVI: And this must be Jon!
DAN: We've heard so much about you.

PANEL 4
Dan thumps Jon's back; Jon stiffens nervously. Liz walks Ravi into the living room.
LIZ: Come on in! We've got cheese, snacks, a few bottles...

PANEL 5
Liz waves sheepishly over her shoulder at Jon; Jon is gesturing to the place at his collar where a tie WOULD be. We can see Ravi's tie very clearly in the foreground.

Did you hear that ghostly wail on the wind? NP 924 went on a run down the line for some crew training and will next rise again on October 31st for the Snoqualmie Valley Halloween Wine Train! shop.trainmuseum.org/EventPurchas... #steam #TrainMuseum #NRM #steamlocomotives #museums #trains #railways

Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 stopped in North Bend, Washington. Mount Si is visible in the background. Behind her for a little bit of added weight, SVRR 4024 can be seen in an appropriate Halloween orange. Two train crew members are checking oil.

Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 thunders up the grade towards Bridge 35, surrounded by heavy foliage. A cloud of white steam cuts through the green trees. A volunteer stoker sits atop the tender, tossing wood down to another stoker.

Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 in dramatic lighting at the end of the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad just past Snoqualmie Falls. The harsh sunlight cuts through the green canopy above, shining light on the cab of the locomotive while silhouetting the rest of it.

The crew from the training run, posed in front of Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 at the end of the SVRR line, just past the top of Snoqualmie Falls.
Steam locomotive operation is much more involved than diesel locomotives and even seasoned volunteers need the opportunity to brush up on their knowledge with equipment that only gets to come out a few times a year.

This is why it's important for you to remove source identifiers from links!!

A PSA telling you to remove everything that follows a question mark in a link due to it being used to track who you share things with. Common trackers are ?utm_source and ?si . This is the best I can do with my dyslexia trying to transcribe this, I'm sorry.

Public PSA. Please repost so this reaches others. Your accounts are at risk. Do NOT respond to DM's that start with "Hi, do you have a minute?" or "Hello, are you busy at the moment?" They're hacked accounts. Do NOT add them on Discord under any circumstance. Report them, they are exploiting. +

A bluesky DM screenshot. Text reads:

Person 1 (hacked account): "Hello, are you busy at the moment? Can I talk to you for a minute."

Person 2 (original poster): "What's up?"

Hacker: "Hey! Just wanted to give you heads up that someone's pretending to be you here on Bluesky, and it's causing some confusion. I’ve got proof to show you so you know what’s really going on."

Person 2 (OP): "Oh, word? Who is it?"

Hacker: "I can’t send you the impersonator’s username or link here because when I search for them, your Bluesky account shows up first. If you don’t mind, please add me on Discord: shieshy0909 and I’ll share everything with you there. It’s easier to explain that way! Thanks a lot!"

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it authorblues.github.io/lecture-slid...

POTS person here: If you feel woozy, dizzy, or tingly even with drinking water, your electrolytes are probably off. High sodium can fix it for short term. Think Pickle Juice, V8, or even just one of those tiny salt packets. Then work on other electrolytes like Potassium and Magnesium.

"Today. Tomorrow." A Superman fan comic about Clark Kent, Lois Lane and relationships 🚏 (1/4) #Art #Comics #DCcomics #Superman #Artsky

Cover for the fan comic titled "Today. Tomorrow." It depicts Clark Kent and Indonesian Lois Lane sitting in a subway train together. Lois looks out the window and sees Metropolis at night. There's a giant billboard displaying Superman flying heroically, the title "Man of Tomorrow" beside him. Back in the train, Clark looks sadly to the side.

Clark Kent looks at his phone, where it shows that he's tried to call Lana Lang but his call was declined by her. Clark narrates "There's always tomorrow, right?". We pull out to see Clark is at his work desk at the Daily Planet, nervously clicking away at his pen, waiting for Lana to respond. Clark looks at his phone hopelessly. "Who am I kidding?" he asks. "Looking out of it, Smallville" says a voice. Turns out, it's Lois Lane! Lois is depicted as a Chinese Indonesian woman with brown skin. She opens the door to the office, with her purse. She's ready to clock out of work "I wouldn't waste a Friday like this on an all-nighter. And that's saying something coming from me."

Clark and Lois are in the office elevators together now. Lois taps at the elevator button while Clark still nervously looks at his phone. Lois says "Word of advice; if you're stumped on something, try walking it out. Get some fresh air." Clark replies "ah well, it's not entirely work related, Ms. Lane." Lois looks away with a distant expression "I wasn't talking about work either." The elevator doors open with a DING! Sound effect. "I know I've got some extra walking to do if I'm going to catch the last bus home." says Lois. Clark is surprised "BUS? What happened to your motorbike?" Lois walks out of the elevator doors, hand waving behind her "It got totaled in that Parasite fight with Superman, remember." Clark stumbles behind her "Oh. Right." Clark looks at Lois walking away, regretful. Lois looks back as Clark replies "Wait. Let me walk you home, Lois."

Heatwave in the UK. OK, I grew up in Italy, and when it is very hot and you have no air-conditioning, you do this - 1) Unless there's a good breeze, CLOSE all the windows and draw all the blinds and curtains until sunset. The outside air is hot, you do not want it inside with you. 2) DRINK WATER

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it" No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts. there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

This is straight up some of the best Star Trek I've seen in any medium in about a quarter of a century. It nails the characters' voices and motivations and back stories. It has a philosophical point to make. And most of all it has something politically relevant to say. It draws blood.
