Starting to play the Turing Test again, never realized that this faulty display at the beginning just repeats "I'm a real boy" over and over again in hex.

I’ve read @tkingfisher.com’s horror novel The Hollow Places way too recently to enjoy this (probably objectively lovely) sculpture
The full-size willow-woven horse sculpture at Tredegar House is extremely impressive. It was designed and sculpted by Sarah Hatton.

I occasionally like to share these "Mercator vs Real Country Size" animations to encourage you to buy a globe. Nothing fancy - just a basic globe. It does wonders in helping you (and your kids) to understand the world. Source: buff.ly/EGdKGR3

I was adjusting my coffee grinder this morning, as the grind was just a little too coarse for my new machine. And as I clicked the little arrow to the left this popped into my head

'Twas Komasnacht Eve
And the forest was thrumming
With whispers that Koma
Just wouldn't be coming...
"He died when the sky broke,
Before the Tree burned.
Phyrexia took him:
He won't be returned."

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
Man I felt that

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila!
The purpley-pink & white ribbons are much closer to us in the atmosphere than standard green arcs, and are fast moving.

Solstice timing gets me every year. I had Dec 21 on the calendar as the shortest day (accurate) but the longest night was actually last night, not tonight. A little bummed I didn’t mark it.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Thought I’d live on the edge a little and bought a puzzle from goodwill. It’s a bit worn, but every single goddamn piece was there. Restored a tiny bit of my faith in humanity.

This is so accurate. 48 is “shit I forgot my gloves” and 52 is no socks needed.
After a year in the Bay Area — and a lifetime spent between NH, Ohio, PA, DC, NYC and London — I think I can finally safely say I understand the difference between 48 degrees and 52 degrees in a way I never could have comprehended before.
