The only one who did it better:

Today's prototype, based on some Japanese BattleTech art for Natasha Kerensky. #BattleTech #バトルテック #Patches

A sort of shield shaped patch (parallel sides, perpendicular top, and 2 angled sides on the bottom giving it a point on the bottom). The patch has a red background and a black silhouette of a wolf with a white eye and a black drop silhouette neat its mouth. The patch has a black outer satin stitch.

I don't even know how you convince a horse to do this, let alone an elephant.

Fuunsaiki, a horse from G Gundam putting on its motion sensing suit, so it can pilot a horse Gundam.

Dog has stopped responding. -> Check for a solution and close the dog. -> Close the dog. -> Wait for the dog to respond.

Pippin, a 2 year old Rottweiler/shepherd/retriever mix dog, stopped half way off the couch, with his back legs splayed out on the couch, while his front legs stand on the floor. He's kinda looking at the ground, maybe his toy squid?.

Real leftists are arguing about whether the time MechaGodzilla is disguised as Godzilla should count toward Godzilla's screentime. Source: godzilla-movies.com/topic/51871

A spreadsheet of every Godzilla movie (up to Godzilla Minus One) including Godzilla's screentime in minutes and percentage of the movie. Most screentime (by percent) is Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II, and lowest is Invasion of the Astro Monster (ignoring the Netflix movies).

BEST STAR TREK CAPTAIN. WRONG ANSWERS ONLY.

Now we're cooking... I wonder if the revolvers will stitch out. It's not a proper "Gunslinger" patch without them... #BattleTech

A rendering of a 4" (~97mm) round patch with a red outer ring, blue inner ring, and the golden silhouette of a classic "unseen" BattleTech Marauder. On the outer red ring, at the top is text that says SLDF, and on the bottom it says "GUNSLINGER". Between the red and blue layers are intermittent gold bands. Between the mechs legs are 2 crossed gold revolvers.

Playing around with updating an "old" patch design for the 6-needle machine. Still touching these up before stitching them out. Fun that I am able to work on these on my Steam Deck. #BattleTech #InkStitch #Patches

I actually have an existing crew that would be perfect for this... They're in my Pirate Point short.

Kermit the frog meeting an evil Kermit the frog. With the caption:

"Me: I can't seem to finish a story. What should I do?

Also me: start a new story."

Beautiful day at the capital. Somebody had some fun playtime.

Oh, no, it's a dogglemite! #SummerGamesDoneQuick #SGDQ2026

Pippin, a 2 year old Rottweiler/shepherd/retriever mix dog, laying upside down on blankets on a couch, with his teeth showing giving him a "crazed" look. Exceedingly cute.

Lazy morning SGDQ is best morning #SGDQ. Saving his energy for his "Backyard Any % Zoomies" run later today.

Checked the local numbers again, and it was indeed bad. Fun. Dog certainly isn't a fan.

Chart showing AQI levels, with a sharp spike around 70 on the night of July 3rd, and 2 spikes (one around 60, and the other around 75) on July 4th (into the morning of July 5th).

One fun thing about integrating external data sources into Home Assistant is easy visualization. I'm curious to see if tonight similarly lags behind when people were actually shooting off fireworks. I swear it smelled like gun powder outside this morning...

This one always seems to pop into my head.

The owl babies were out and about at the park today, which means the parents are out and about. Love my local park.

A small barred owl sitting in the fork of a y shaped tree, in a very green and shady pacific northwest forest, a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, while the ground is ferns and bushes. It's slightly overcast.

Pacific Rim (2013). My "favorite" movie, when pushed for a favorite.

Poster for Pacific Rim, with the title on the bottom, and a closeup of the upper right portion of the Jaeger Gypsy Danger, with 2 small pilots standing in the shoulder. The sun appears to be behind them.

It's hard when you have to wait for the regular Sunday visitors to come play.

Somebody had his first trip to the coast recently...

A cute, panting, 2 year old Rottweiler-shepherd mix sticking his head and front paws out the back window of a white Toyota Tacoma (coated in the PNE moss typical of the area), as the sky behind is dusky, while the sky reflected in the window shows a pink and orange post-sunset.

This show has great words. This is the future we could have had.

Scene from Batman Beyond, a grumpy looking older Bruce Wayne looks grumpy. Off screen, Terry says "It's schway.", to which Bruce is responding "It's schwarbage."

I love running my own live Jellyfin channels (curated lists shown in random order, usually), especially when things just line up. MechaGodzilla followed by MechaGodzilla II? Don't mind if I do.
