Lost media I remember: TV special, early 90s, SF Bay area. (Maybe KQED?) A male shark (backwards baseball cap!) and a female otter (with a bow?), both puppets, travel around SF Bay thwarting polluters. Never been able to rediscover the name of it or find any scrap of it.

Okay, I've got to ask. My new laptop was a Samsung Galaxy with tablet screen; I was hoping to use it for art, including photomanipulations, requiring pressure sensitivity. But Photoshop CS6 only uses WinTab API, and Windows 11 only has Windows Ink. Anyone know how I can get sensitivity working?

This kylix (an ancient Greek wine drinking cup) depicts a nude Circe preparing her potion for Odysseus' men, who have been turned into anthropomorphic animals. Currently at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Drinking cup (kylix) depicting scenes from the Odyssey. Circe and the companions of Odysseus, eight figures. Circe appears in the center mixing her potion for Odysseus' men. The men have animal heads and arms, but retain their human lower bodies. Eurylochus escapes the scene at far right and Odysseus enters at far left. Attributed to the artist known as the Painter of the Boston Polyphemos. Greek Archaic Period (550-525 BCE).

Lifting this up from @haleyformi.bsky.social as well. This is fantastic & gracious message after a bitter primary. She fought valiantly and ended the fight w/ class. I respect that. People forget how incredibility contentious Obama/Clinton primary was in 2008. That worked out ok. GO BLUE. 💙💛

"I love Michigan and am so proud to have put up my hand to serve. I spoke with Abdul a few moments ago to offer him my full support as we work to defeat Mike Rogers this November. 

Thank you, Michigan."

Thank you, Michigan! I’m so proud of the movement we built over the past year. No matter the outcome tonight, I’m so grateful for your support. ❤️

Last RT... A majority of cartoons will never live up to your memories of them, ever. Why? As kids, your imagination does a lot of work. It fills in missing animation and writing beats. Everything looks animated on 1s instead of 5s. Every missing plot thread is resolved in your own head.

It just occurred to me that the archetypical Egyptian "jackal" design was probably derived more from domestic dogs than from jackals (which do not look like Anubis) Reminds me of the Greek deer sculpture I once saw that was basically a horse with lines drawn on its hooves to divide them.

Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.

Kansas voters showed up and protected their impartial state supreme court, helping defend abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, and civil liberties for generations to come.”

Few things are more annoying than someone who previously knew nothing learning one thing and thinking they're wise Today: a YouTuber who didn't know that there were Mormons outside of Utah learning that the LDS Church encourages family entertainment and postulating that this explains Disney adults

I recently had the privilege of reading a manuscript of a new book by Eva Mrozcek about how the “found manuscript” trope has been used as an authorizing strategy in constructing the past & I was delighted to receive a hardcopy of the book today. Check it out!
