one promise the cyberpunk future failed to deliver on is me being a courier for 512MB of highly sensitive corporate data contained in my brain zip drive while i wear a nice suit instead of being a courier for burritos in a 2012 hyundai

A balding man with a mustache sits at a drawing table in front of an unfinished comic strip, turning backwards in his chair and waving, with his other arm draped over the chair. He says "People ask me every day, 'where do jokes come from?' 'How do I make a joke?' 'What IS a joke?' Today I'll be giving you a closer look." We now see a pink blobby creature wearing one of those novelty arrow through its head. "here is a joke in the wild. But what makes it work?" With a loud 'BONK', the pink blob is bludgeoned with a hammer. "First we humanely euthanize the joke." "Now we can see inside the joke. Let's observe." The lower half of the image is a diagram, in red, of the pink blob creature, the joke, autopsied, with pins holding it open, and lines pointing to different organs labeled as follows: Pyloric Ceca Chuck Sacks Note the absence of bones Pathos "silly" gland secondary ruminant stomach swim bladder cloaca The cartoonist pops up again at the end to say "I hope that clears things up. If all else fails, just shout lines from 20 year old tv commercials. Everyone thinks that's funny and not annoying."
How Jokes Work
JACK: Lemon, I've rediscovered letter writing. Every great man leaves behind a legacy of correspondence with the great thinkers of his day. Yesterday I wrote one to Carl Sagan.
LIZ: Isn't he dead? What do you have to say to Carl Sagan anyway?
JACK: Oh, I don't know, the service mails them directly.
Have you noticed that people who spend too long chatting with chatbots, stop making any fucking kind of sense?
The reason why is that the bot will never, ever, go "what the fuck are you talking about? What are you even trying to communicate here?"

Also: replete with opportunities for awkward ER conversations about how you got those groin burns.

A splash page from the October 1993 issue of Compute magazine. Floating in a vaporwave plane, in the center of a piece of graph paper, a giant ebony floating head is quadrated off; but is missing the pieces in the center. Around the head is the number 4, a triangle, the symbol for pi, a mouse cursor, and various lines of navigation. Behind the head is a sunset. Into the head's open hole flies a microchip, a semicirclular prism, a pole, and a chessboard.
"Paul, we're doing an article about data compression techniques. We just need something that illustrates compressing data." "Say no more, Cliff."

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

I'll admit, ever since I saw Psycho as a kid I've felt a tiny bit nervous each time I kill someone in the shower.
I’d argue Lake Washington Boulevard is one of Seattle’s best parks — on those rare days we let it be one. It is 3 miles of fully public waterfront, flat, paved and accessible to all! That’s longer than Alki or Myrtle Edwards.
Refit era FASA-inspired? Nice.
I share Katie's concern. To put it bluntly, Trump is destroying what made America great.

The North America Nebula (NGC 7000), image by Josh Bloch, acquired 6/14/2025, and processed 6/15/2025. First light on new Askar SQA55.
I got myself a cute little 264mm wide field refractor to complement my 8" catadioptric telescope. It saw its first light last night. Here's the resulting image, of the North America Nebula. (It's a stack of 124 unguided 1-minute exposures.) The nebula is HUGE, 3.5x the angular diameter of the moon.
