My dessert hot take: lemon meringue is better as a slice than in pie form.

Fork-fight me.

And now you’ve got the theme stuck in your head, too.

Canadian History Ehx @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 16h

On Oct. 11, 1979, the first episode of the revival of The Littlest Hobo debuted on CTV. Based off a 1958 movie and 1960s TV show, it aired for six seasons and 114 episodes.
With its famous theme song, it is beloved by generations of Canadians.
This is the story.

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 11: Asteroid

Eros is the second-largest near-Earth object. It has an eccentric orbit between Earth and Mars and was visited by the NEAR Shoemaker space probe in 1998. #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawings to date: near the top middle is a drawing of Eros

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 10: Artemis II

Although I’m super happy how well this turned out, my mission patch suffered from a scale-choice issue: I couldn’t add the names Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen with a fine enough line to do it justice.

Space on my page is becoming an issue 😅 #Spacetober

A full page view of my work to date: the mission patch sits at the center bottom

From the Larchives: I think this was the first cartoon recast I ever drew for RHPS :) Not the first RHPS cartoon just the first group cast.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 9: Nebula

Specifically, the Dumbbell Nebula.

I was finding faint/whispy colours on black hard to do so I flipped the script and first drew the nebula (light blue/red Copics) then backfilled with darker and darker tones (grey scale inks) #Spacetober

A full page view of my drawings to date: a blue-pink nebula is added to the bottom-left of the page

The RS-25 liquid-fuel cryogenic rocket engine, once used by NASA's Space Shuttle Orbiter, is now used by the Space Launch System's core stage. #Spacetober

I was trying to figure out the pattern so I’m happy to hear there wasn’t one 😅

@lartist.bsky.social Thinking of you…

From the 3Dprinting community on Reddit: My first multi-color print. (Also my largest). Like a noob, I did 15% gyroid infill. Came out great but wasted so much filament. 47 hour print.

Can you share the significance of the inner ring of larger vs smaller stars?

I’ve always liked the spacey design of the European Space Agency’s logo #Spacetober

That was such a good run.

Might do “The West Wing” next.

Joe Creighton 🇨🇦 @notjoecreighton.bsky.social · 9d

The first few episodes of “The Newsroom” still hit pretty hard. Guess I’m binging it again.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

#SpacetoberChallenge Day 6: Constellation

Probably the northern hemisphere’s most recognizable Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major) that includes the four-star binary system, Alcor and Mizar #Spacetober

The full page showing a new drawing above the lower-left Earth: white stars against a black background, spaced out to form the familiar shape in the sky

A close-up of the addition. At one joint in the dipper’s handle are two stars (Mizar and Alcor) very close to each other.
