This one goes in the 'encouragement' file! (I do keep one, I admit)
Concrete is why comic books are. Everything I’ve read by @paulchadwick.bsky.social has been phenomenal and has caused me to think beyond the surface of things. Really appreciate Concrete.

This is a strange and fascinating thread, not too long.
Want to share something. This is the entry for 17 February 1944 in the 2nd volume of THE INMAN DIARY, the 2 vol. collection of excerpts from Arthur Inman's 155 vol. diary.
Keep in mind Inman was a racist bastard by default. This isn't pleasant reading. This is where he learns about the Holocaust.

FYI: the great comics artist Tom Mandrake is on here and his timeline is a nice mix of wild, intensely rendered pen & ink drawings and photos of the fox that hangs out on his porch.
I'll post some Swamp Thing teasers tomorrow. Today, just know foxy can nap comfortably in zero degrees. She loves our deck regardless.

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

I really don't understand how this multi-polar trapeze act is still working.
Dear US Stock Holders: you should buy $20 billion of our stock so that we can capture $300 billion of revenue, we need at least $130 billion more to do this, and we’re raising this money so that one customer can pay us $300bn, which they will do by raising debt and equity.

Happy birthday to American writer Lewis Shiner, born today in 1950. Shiner began his career as a science fiction writer, but then identified with cyberpunk, and later wrote more mainstream novels, albeit often with magical realism and fantasy elements. #LewisShiner

Hungary’s elections aren’t really free and fair. Orban’s corrupt control of most of the country’s media and courts renders it so.
But the elections are still somewhat competitive, and the most plausible mechanism to get him out of power.
It’s hard, but backsliding can be stopped, even reversed.

For over a year, polls have put Hungary’s opposition party ahead of Viktor Orban’s. But a big lead in the polls is no guarantee of an election victory
Viktor Orban may lose his next election
He trails in polls, but the rules favour Trump’s man in Hungary

I must admit, I thought Musk's comment about "orbital data centers" was just his normal off-the-cuff ignorance, but... there's an actual SpaceX plan for it?
This is the ISS. Those white panels are *radiators.* Releasing heat is a serious challenge in space. A data center is basically a huge oven.
