I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.
So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.
I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.
It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.
It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.
- Comment on What do you create? 1 day ago:
I recommend you try gaffer tape instead of duct tape.
Advantages:
- Remains flexible and removable forever.
- Looks nicer, a cool matte black or manynother colors.
Where I get off making this recommendation:
I needed a light-excluding bellows for a photographic project. I made one using black illustration stock and gaffer tape. It worked extremely well on the first version and held up to hundreds of cycles of extension/compression. My application was sensitive to pinhole light leakage and there was none.
It would have lasted longer but that was the end of that project.
My two cents. I love DIY stuff!

Woah there, Mr Deep! I see the way you are eye-banging that cephalopod.
- Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr? 3 weeks ago:
As a PhD holder who has worked in healthcare, I really couldn’t use the title doctor because the chance for confusion with a medical practitioner is too high. That’s fine by me, I only use the title on rare occasions such as when speaking publicly in my area of experience. Please just call me Meyotch.

Break them up and nationalize the parts. Give the cloud stuff to the library of congress, they can build a permanent digital archive. Give the delivery side to the USPS.

Tina Belcher is my spiritual guide on this issue. Nothing wrong with a little erotic friend-fiction becoming reality.

Jean-Claude Van Johnson deserves to be on this list, perhaps as a sixth best-comeback honorable mention.

- Comment on Shitposting as public pedagogy 3 months ago:
“Building on this literature, I propose a definition of shitposting that embodies four distinct elements: a reliance on absurdity or “meaninglessness,” the critique or disruption of online discourses, the employment of an “internet ugly” aesthetic, and the use of meta-languaging”
Good lord, it took them forever to spit out a coherent definition!
Does this paper itself represent a form of academic shitposting? I mean, the subject is sound but the convoluted and discursive presentation is maddening.
But, yes, shitposting is worthy of significant further study and all grant applications in that area should be automatically approved.

Meanwhile, in Utah, a pair of new parents are becoming really charmed by the idea of ‘Brexit’ as a name for their next child.
This has all happened before and it will all happen again.

It’s a sick pun on top of a technique that is also fsckin sick. Read it only if economical spatial imaging of gene expression in a whole tissue section series slightly arouses you.

You live for these opportunities. The pay stinks, your parents don’t understand what you do for a ‘living’, but you got a sick pun in a Nature Group™️ publication.
Sweet.

This is a proven fact. Expose yourself early and often, that’s my motto.
- Comment on New server policy. Lemmites who misbehave get sent to Disney land with a bus full of Disney adults. 10 months ago:
Mormons in my experience have jumbled their ‘religion’ with Disney so hard they cannot tell them apart. The latest demonization of Disney by the god-botherers has caused some distinct cognitive dissonance among my faithful extended family.

Boise, Idaho hosts a sizable Basque population and features a couple of nice restaurants that feature their cuisine. Basque have traditionally been sheep-herders and some still work in herding professions.

There were likely some Mormons and definitely some fellow Freemasons in the angry mob that killed Joseph Smith. He was in way too deep to just walk away, even if his brand of narcissism would have allowed him to contemplate that.

Yes! I get your joke but I stayed at the visitor center campground once on a cross country motorcycle trip. Of course they show Close Encounters. It was a deliciously trashy setup with a canvas screen strung between trees and an old modified trinitron as a projector.
