What reminded me of this was hearing how Chipotle's Customer Service AI ("Pepper") had been hacked to run other tasks besides order tracking and people have been using Chipotle's tokens instead of paying ]]> Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:11:19 Z https://mltshp.com/p/1RTGX https://mltshp.com/p/1RTGX Once upon a time there was a small desert village with a single well outside town. One day a young woman went to the well to fetch water, and the well heard her crying, and asked What's wrong? She stopped her sobbing and asked the well You can talk? "Yes," said the well. "Long ago, the witch who lives in this town gave me life so could serve as a guardian to the townspeople." "Alas," said the young woman. "I am the daughter of that witch. She lived in peace with the townsfolk for many years. But the new mayor, who is a violent and hateful man, riled the people up against her, and they burned her at the stake. I am young and still do not know very much magic. I tried to curse them, but my curses fizzled. Now I worry I will never avenge my mother's death." "Do not be afraid," said the well. "I will take care of this." The next morning, when the Mayor came to fetch water from the well, he heard an odd noise coming from the bottom. He peered over as far as he could to see what was happening. Then an impossibly long arm shot up from the bottom of the well, grabbed the mayor, and pulled him into the well shaft. There was a horrible crunching sound, and nobody ever saw the Mayor again. The townsfolk apologized to the witch's daughter, and they all lived happily ever after. Moral of the story: living well is the best revenge

#RIP Plas Johnson, who created the tenor sax solo for The Pink Panther Theme.

He broke color lines in Hollywood in the 1950s, being one of the first Black musicians to work in studio orchestras.

I have no idea if this is an original or not. But with a family of five who spent their entire summers in this three room cabin, it certainly got lots of use.

The Concorde at Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne Australia9th August 1975. It had just done a 3 hour 37 minute flight from Singapore (7 hours 50 minutes normal flight time today).

The Concorde only ever came to Australia on 3 or so occasions for promotional visits. They lacked the fuel capacity to make the extreme long-haul distance non-stop without numerous refueling stops. ]]> Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:07:38 Z Nansusuwatari https://mltshp.com/p/1RTFE https://mltshp.com/p/1RTFE A three-panel comic strip using the characters from Nancy (but not in the style of Ernie Bushmiller, Olivia Jaimes, or Caroline Cash). In the first, Sluggo (dressed as Tifa from Final Fantasy) points to Aunt Fritzi. "Your Revolutionary Goil Utena cosume is great, Ms. Fritzi". In the second, Fritzi (in Revolutionary Girl Utena costume, with pink wig),looks at Nancy, who is dressed normally. "Nancy, where's your costume for the anime convention?" In the third, Nancy turns around to reveal eyes painted onto the back of her (spiky) head, making her look like a Studio Ghibli soot sprite.
