A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is hanging up laundry, while singing Cherubino's aria from the opera The Wedding of Figaro. Blue peeks from behind a bedsheet, startling Green badly enough to prompt Green to shoot straight up through the ceiling. Blue: You sing when you do laundry by yourself? Green: Iaaah! Taken aback, Blue looks apologetically up to the ceiling. Blue: I didn't mean to startle you. Green: It's okay.

Careful what you wish for... I mean... Since when did Agent Orange care about legality? 🤔

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue appears on the scene as Green is glaring at a failed crafts project, which has been utterly mangled beyond recognition. Blue: What's wrong? Green: The jute rope basket I've been trying to weave fell apart. Blue sits down opposite of Green, also looking at the mangled basket attempt. Blue: The one that was shedding needly fibers everywhere? Green: Yep. Blue continues looking at the failed basket as Green raises his head to look at Blue incredulously. Blue: Aw, sorry to hear that. Green: Why? You hated that thing. Blue looks back up, and both foxes look at each other calmly. Blue: Just because I'm glad that it's gone doesn't mean I can't be sorry that you lost it.

The inner workings of a reel-to-reel video tape drive mechanism. Pulleys, belts, levers and springs, with a five-button "piano key" style control panel.

I think, I got all the mechanical parts connected again... at least all of them for the tape transport. Some other bits are still to do; I'm trying to make a quick short, showing off the movement of levers in the different functions, but that needs a working motor driver and power supply.

Decade Resistor Box YouTube video by atkelar

Coming up at the top of the hour: An ancient decade resistor box! The Construction is almost potted, so sadly, I had to stop a bit short of my usual disassembly standard, but still: I like the result! youtu.be/px82gZvswAo #youtube

I was really happy with how this shot turned out. Too bad it was cut from the movie! I had to sculpt these neck rolls in basically frame by frame! Check it out! Zootopia2 is streaming now!

I have two similar sized ones; hard to tell them apart from a screenshot, but this seems to be the smaller one: 8701125 - the larger one would be 8701150

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks at Green over his shoulder as Green looks at a tiny cut on his tail. Green: Oh huh, a tiny cut. Blue: Let me get the wound spray. Green begins to lick the tiny cut, while Blue looks shocked. Green: Nah, it's fine. Blue: Don't lick it!! Blue frowns at Green as Green looks up from the cut. Green: Your own saliva is actually better for your wounds than someone else's. Blue: That doesn't make it good for you! As Blue leaves to get the wound spray, Green calmly continues to lick the wound. Blue: You stop that! I can hear you!

Nehebkau's design is hilarious.

Ein Cartoon in Schwarz-Weiß zeigt eine Szene in einem Wartezimmer einer Tierarztpraxis. Eine Krankenschwester mit Stethoskop berührt die Schulter eines sitzenden Mannes im Anzug und Bowtie, der neben einer Frau sitzt, die ein Papier hält. Sie sagt: „Zu Ihrer Katze, Herr Schrödinger – ich habe gute Nachrichten und schlechte Nachrichten.“ Im Hintergrund ist die Rezeption mit dem Schild „Check In“ zu sehen, ein Mann hält eine Katze, und eine Person sitzt am Schalter. Auf dem Tisch stehen eine Vase mit Blumen und liegen Magazine. Gezeichnet von Schwartz.

Magical wolfy. For @drakefate.bsky.social

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green jump in fright as a withered, dried-up potted pointsettia approaches them through apparent natural means. Blue: What are you? Potted plant: I am cuetlaxōchitl, ghost of christmas flower past. The foxes listen as the undead houseplant complains. Potted plant: Not a month has passed since I was brought to this house, and already I've been neglected to death! Green: Well, can you come back to haunt us next December, so you'll be more seasonal? The foxes follow with their eyes as the potted plant moves past them, leaving the scene. Potted plant: Fine. But I will return.

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

Ah, checkout lane snacks 😸 my go to ones!

I wonder how many viewers still know what that thing is 😸

A close up of 8 LEDs on a prototyping board, each of which has a 4-pin plastic covered no-solder breadboard connector.

Does anybody here have an idea what these breadboard style sockets might be called? Or where I could get a bunch? These are used on several PCBs around prototyping kits I have, and I have a project in the queue that might benefit from these...

so... memory improvements is a cooking class? 😸

I adore @henrieke.bsky.social ‘s character, Kiki! I was so honored when they reached out to me for one of these sketch commissions! 🥺 (2026)
