a screenshot from nhc.noaa.gov showing a yellow blob (yellow means <40% formation in the next seven days) at like 45N, 30W

I look at www.nhc.noaa.gov basically every day may-nov and have for over a decade and I don't think I have ever seen a monitored disturbance so far north east.

"And so he dragged me over to the back of Pinto Ron’s Pinto, where he showed me what was left from a gallon of milk he had the day the Bills staged the biggest playoff comeback in NFL history in a win over the Oilers. That was in 1993. What remains does not look like milk, and there certainly isn’t a gallon of it. It’s a brownish liquid. That’s the color Scotty says it changed into over the years because of “chemistry.” There’s maybe a quarter of a gallon left. Siegel said that’s because whatever is in there is now so acidic, it keeps eating through its plastic jug. The gallon container the liquid resides in is not original. Only the liquid is. The plastic container sits inside a metal pan and, when the nightmare fluid eats through a plastic gallon, they just pour it from the metal container into a new gallon and repeat. This process has been going on for 26 years. "

gotta be careful with this stuff or else he might be eating that dirt for the next couple decades (from www.theringer.com/2019/09/26/n...)

I made a pot of Roberto for lunches this week but chopping onions irritates the cat's eyes so I threw in frozen pearl onions instead and no surprises here, it works really well. Here is the cat with unirritated eyes.

The cover of my zine 'Iconic' about LiveJournal icons, a bunch of colorful 100x100 pixel images all set out in a grid "A zine about design, aesthetic and LiveJournal icons from the early 2000s"

Did you used to make LiveJournal icons? Do you still have some of the ones that you made? I'm looking to include more icons in the second print run of my LiveJournal Iconic zine and would love to see yours!

an image of Hurricane Andrew from 1992. It's pretty big but nowhere near the size of 2025 Hurricane Erin. Great eye wall though.

Hurricane Andrew for comparison. I especially like this image because it appears the O in FLORIDA might actually be a 0.

is it ever

A shitty map created by ChatGPT5. it purports to be US States with an R in their name, but it's wrong and dumb and worthless just like LLMs.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

YouTube video by dysii Counting with Bruce Springsteen

I'm sorry, I like Jeremy Allen White, but it's just not possible to improve on "Counting with Bruce Springsteen." Don't try to repaint the Mona Lisa.
