@jean I always see dogs in those forms.
-
@Miraz I’ve known people with koi ponds who would not be happy about that…
-
@restlesslens Oooh, I like that.
-
@numericcitizen Lovely!
-
@JimRain Thank you. Looking at this again, I think I should have titled it “Cloud Noir”.
-
@bradleyandroos It’s a good word, “crepuscular”, so I used it again today.
-
@todd Ah, too bad. Nero Wolfe was a favorite of mine growing up. The banter between the unusual characters was the thing. Some people tried to write more after Rex Stout died, but they didn’t have his spark by a long shot.
-
@dwalbert No, but the right one is cruel and the left one is spineless.
-
@cliffordbeshers I think these are Dickens characters.
-
@tinyroofnail I just noted the micro-shadows on that paper…
-
@tinyroofnail Beautiful and on point for someone who works with magnificent views beckoning.
Email is just me at gmail.

@Miraz Robert Reich posted a chart recently showing the increase in wealth of the top 1%. Virtually no growth shown i the lower 50% over the last decades. I’ve been considering that the de facto US policy that the results of government research are free for all to use needs to be codified and tagged with conditions of guaranteed tax rates and distribution of that wealth.

@gregmoore I actually always think of the film noir technique where they would use flaps on a light to create a band of light across the actors face: www.reddit.com/r/cinemat…
-
@tinyroofnail Jack is absolutely right.
-
@tinyroofnail In a less poetic way, the interplay of light and shadow on complicated natural 3D shapes is a fundamental stimulus of our visual system. I have a friend who asserts that physical books are more satisfying to read because the whole visual system has something to latch onto, tiny shadows and textures that just aren’t there on most displays. A logical corollary is that big, natural visual displays stimulate large sections of the brain.

@Miraz You have to say that like you’re in a western: There’s drama in them thar hills!
-
@todd Ex Officio seems to have expanded then contracted. There’s been a dearth of travel clothing in tall sizes since, though I’m now discovering that Land’s End has some.
-
@todd Wow, where do you get such a shirt?
-
@JohnBrady Thank you. That is, in fact, the rule I have for my own benefit and it what has kept me from getting ground down over the years. I post because I am inspired to, not to get anything back nor meet any obligation. So, when the inspiration left, I stopped posting.

@amerpie There are some good ones in there I’ve never seen.
-
@mattdoyle.bsky.social I remember you emphasizing in the past that the USA should be crushing CONCACAF teams, not eking out 1-0 wins. We should be beating T&T like this, but we haven’t been. What does this group have that the European-based players don’t?
-
@TheTrip A Philadelphia roll usually has cream cheese in it, doesn’t it? I don’t see any…
-
@Miraz I stayed at an AirBNB of someone whose grandfather started a business hunting those after WWI, shipping venison to Europe. Could that still be going on?
-
@troykitch I enjoyed this. My grandfather built a house in those mountains that we sold just a few years ago. Fond memories.
