i would die for Rocky the Eridian

Well in my left hand I have a, a feather. In my right hand, a hammer. And I guess one of the reasons, uh, we got here today, it was because of a gentleman named Galileo a long time ago, who made a rather significant discovery about falling objects in [and?] gravity fields, and we thought that, uh, where would be a better place to confirm his, uh, findings than on the moon? And, uh, so we thought we’d try it for ya. And the feather happens to be appropriately a falcon feather, for our Falcon. And I’ll uh drop the two of them here and hopefully, they’ll hit the ground at the same time.

How ‘bout that!

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

OK

final one

for all the marbles,

this one doesn't have an illustration bc i think it was just a kids novel but i haven't been able to find ANYTHING about it on my occasional internet queries:

kids is staying with his (grandmother?) in the woods and she warns him not to look a fox in the eyes bc they're tricksy and will swap places with you. obviously that's the first thing the little boy does and gets body snatched by a fox who uhhhh proceeds to pig out with his new little boy human hands and the boy has to trick the fox into looking him in the eyes again to switch back...

NEW PAINTING TIME!

Can the computer create something? At first glance it seems obvious that it can. Animated computer graphics, with their fluid transitions and whiplash perspectives, look strikingly new. And if one watches the machine doing animation work, there seem to be lengthy periods when the computer is acting “on its own.”

But if one observes these processes in more detail, it becomes clear that creation is not occurring within the machine. First of all, computer graphics are not unique. Computers have yet to generate anything that cannot be done by hand—and usually already has been done. Second, the apparent ability of the computer to “act on its own” is the outcome of thousands of hours of patient human effort to refine its instructions. The computer can manipulate a shape for us if we have already informed it what a shape is, what the rules for shape manipulation are, what this specific shape is, and so forth.

Grace, Rocky save stars.
