Three panel meme. Top panel is Gimli from Lord of the Rings saying “Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with an elf”. Middle panel is a Lego figure saying “what about side by side with a female character from a Danish building toy set” bottom panel is Gimli saying “Aye Lego Lass, I could do that”

I looked up the A303 in the UK. Bit further south in SW than my daughter lives. Amazing it has been used consistently for all this time.
the roman road probably lasted longer than the modern asphalt will :D

Aw, I saw a post from her husband yesterday that said she wouldn’t be active on the internet anymore because she wasn’t well.
I used to watch old reruns of Laugh In with my folks and she was always amazing. I was surprised to discover that not only had she still been kicking but that she was still cutting jokes all over twitter.
Poor Ruthie had several debilitating strokes a couple of years ago. She was a very funny woman.

An animated gif showing a man (me) underneath a dark cloth couched behind a large format camera.
My wife took these images for an event I will be promoting soon.
Google photos turned a few of them into an animated gif.

Love it. First thing I thought, however, in that split-second before my brain figured out what the image was, was the "monster" from The Village...
@bubbalumpkis check this one: https://mltshp.com/p/1LXUC
@poorusher Hahaha +++ yes that does it too!
Heck yes!
I was a photo student when everyone and their maiden aunt in my area bought a digital SLR three models more advanced than they’d ever use and billed themselves as a pro, so I always felt so smug throwing a dark cloth over my head to focus and shoot a large format in public. 😂
I never had so magnificent a saffron robe as your cloth, though. Wonderful!

@jessamyn I met Paul Rickards and his husband at VCF in Wall, NJ a few weeks ago. His artwork is amazing!
@scruss He posted some Data General thing on his Masto and I started poking around on his blog, yes his stuff is so interesting!
I changed so many of those ribbons in our school's lab.
@jessamyn someone had received a full rack of Nova kit at the Info-Age museum in Wall when I was there but I didn't take pictures.
Also, if you haven't already met, Joyce Weisbecker is a delight.

Other cities have been measuring this for a while, but I hadn't seen it before for Toronto.

The 12 year range of age is a bit shocking. Looking at the map though, it follows the socio-economic status of each neighbourhood pretty closely, so that's not a surprise.
The outlier at the high end is curious though. It's not the wealthiest neighbourhood, but the one with the greatest percentage of immigrants:
"The 'healthy immigrant effect' is one possible explanation for Yonge-Doris’s high life expectancy. Basically, for the first 10 or so years after someone moves to Canada, particularly in adulthood, their health tends to be better than someone who was born in Canada. There are a lot of theories for why this might be, but Pinto points to Canada’s rigorous points-based immigration process that 'selects for people with sufficient income, professional credentials, existing resources and so on.' The factors for which the government assigns high points—from education to wealth to professional accomplishments—are also indicators of good health."

Yonge-Doris is mostly wealthy immigrants.
I don't live in the worst neighbourhood, but we're pretty close to the bottom in Kennedy Park. It's a low economic opportunity neighbourhood, but I'm also sure the residue from building tens of thousands of tonnes of bombs at the old GECO works can't have helped

This was a really great read. In a nutshell, it's a retelling of Huckleberry Finn from Jim's viewpoint. It was shocking and inspiring at the same time. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Also, if you have not seen American Fiction, which was based on his book Erasure, it's definitely worth watching.

joined a neighbourhood bookclub and am about 1/3 of the way through this. Reading!
Agreed. We read this for Books & Bars bookclub a few months ago and it was universally liked.

Four piece rock band with a table behind them on stage set up as a still life, with a large screen above the stage showing the still life from behind.
First show of their tour and they sounded fantastic. They had someone behind the stage curtain carving vegetables into flowers during the show, revealing the setup before the last couple of songs in the main set.
I love how Deerhoof has the look and vibe of a neighborhood garage band even though they've been recording and touring steadily for, what, three decades now?
The music is great and their dedication to it is enviable.

@ardgedee 31 years! One of their super powers is their collective mind meld as a band, they can start and stop on a dime, or repeat and iterate on a riff for 3 minutes and all jump out on the same note. Just a joy to see them play.
I saw Deerhoof in LA in ~2006 and it was the best live show I’ve ever seen. They are amazing.

A vertically-split three-panel hand-drawn protest artwork. Each panel is labeled with "8 hours" above it and additional text below it:
- 8 hours for work (person working)
- 8 hours for rest (person sleeping)
- 8 hours for what we will (a couple on a boat, woman reading newspaper called Union Advocate)

PC Connection ad with raccoons in pub
I would have also believed that this was a discontinued Celestial Seasonings Tea Flavor Box
This is actually how I imagine @jessamyn's library tech support sessions.
@bezt Slightly fewer adult beverages, alas.
Drive into the dumpster!!
Looks like 1980s-era Microsoft Flight Simulator.

She was something special and this is terrible news.
I hate Christmas music. Except hers, hers is great. Her other music is great too. This is sad news.
Damn. That sucks…
Damn, I really loved her first 2 albums. I followed her for years, what a shame.
Damn. That is SAD.
Terrible news.
