“If it’s green it’s trouble, if it’s fried get double.”

Dear Hello!Project Costume Designers,
Actually, instead of discussing the feathers, can I ask what she’s doing with that microphone?
Okay, now we can talk feathers. Clearly these outfits are left over from your canceled musical, “The Dirty Pair Blows Up Vegas”.
Dear Apple,
Remember when Preview.app was a solid, reliable tool for working with images and PDF files? Yeah, didn’t think so.
Please stop gutting Mac software to achieve feature parity with iPads.
(and the correct answer is “OS X 10.6.8, like pretty much everything else you’ve screwed up in the past five years”)

For these posts, I’m typically scanning about 5-10 times as many thumbnails as I view at full size, then only downloading maybe 3/4 of those. I keep doing that until I have around 40-50 images, which I edit down to 20-25. Which means my leftovers folder has at least 15 images from each set, plus some from keywords that didn’t work out. In other words, ~250 pictures that are good enough to post but lacking a coherent theme. A chanpurū, if you will.

Okay, I think I’ve designed enough clamps for the threaded table now…
That 3x4 block of lino isn’t going anywhere.
[About time, too, since the carpet tape that came with the Nomad finally let go of a small piece as it was being cut out. I thought I had a bit of onion-skin holding it in place, but apparently my board wasn’t quite as flat as expected. No harm done, and I just had to make the cutout toolpath a bit shallower and run it again for the remaining pieces. I might try the Crimson Guitars method the next time I feel like taping something to the wasteboard.]

Trapped in a world a comic book writer made!
Given that this was before Trump won the nomination, the writer probably thought it was just the right level of absurd joke the HtD comics were known for.
