So this is a niche one: If you use Moom on macOS (manytricks.com/moom/) and you’re on Golden Gate (yeah, I finally upgraded after skipping Tahoe and… I don’t hate it.

Default spacing with menu bar visible: looks consistent.
No spacing with menu bar present. Looks crowded and the rounded corner of the window juts up against the straight edge of the menu bar.
Spacing without the menu bar showing: too much vertical space between the menu bar and the top of the window.
Spacing, adjusted: less space between the menu bar and top of window to make the edge spacing more consistent.

I first heard a version of limerick about 30 years ago, immediately committed it to memory and it has been my favourite ever since. My favourite ever joke is:
Woman walks into a bar, asks the barman for a Double Entendre, so he gives her one.
Infer what you might about my humour.
Incidentally I once had to explain that joke to a very unimaginative elderly woman and the room slowly went quiet to listen as I struggled and it has entered family folklore 😄

After breaking the Blackwidow Wolverine V3 Pro controller somehow, replaced it with a much less expensive GameSir G7 Pro Tri-Mode. Comes with a charging station, USB-C cable, and a 2.4GHz wireless dongle while also supporting Bluetooth. Initial thoughts is that it's a pretty solid controller and should be easy enough to clean. The D-Pad has all of the clickiness, but works well enough. I'll put it through its paces later on today with some FF16.

The GameSir G7 Pro Tri-Mode controller (white) charging in it charging station.  The station has an LED bar on the bottom that slowly flashes white while charging and turns off once the controller is charged.

Watching the France v England match in a roadhouse in Ossineke

The inside of the Wagon Wheel bar in Ossineke, Michigan — a small-town tavern with a stage/live music setup. A big TV is showing France vs. England on Fox Sports (looks like a national anthem/pre-match moment, with both teams lined up on the pitch). There's a lit-up entertainment board listing trivia, karaoke, open mic nights, and band names for July/August.

This is just me venting.
I hate that if I want to lug a slightly smaller screen than my Surface Go to gaming, the iPad Mini behaves more like a tiny phone than my actual phone. With no way to tell DnD Beyond that there is plenty of real estate and to please use it.
I blame Apple / Safari here.

A Surface Go 3 with an 11½ inch diagonal screen, an iPad Mini 6 with its 9 inch diagonal screen, and a Pixel 6 with its 6¾ inch screen, all against on another to show the very different total surface area.
My D & D Beyond character sheet, with all attributes saves, skills, and most actions and weapons visible without scrolling, despite the fixed nav bar; the image is labeled Surface Go 3.
Same character sheet in landscape mode, but only three attributes are visible, along with four other stats, and not much else, while the fixed nav bar and character name take up half the height of the screen; the image is labeled iPad Mini 3.
The same sheet also in landscape mode, all attributes visible, plus a few other stats with the fixed nav bar only taking a quarter of the height; this is labeled Pixel 6.

Emergent gravitational action from non-local $T\bar T$-like deformations

arxiv.org/abs/2608.05913 arxiv.org/pdf/2608.05913 arxiv.org/html/2608.05913
arXiv:2608.05913v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the gravitational effective action induced, at first order in the deformation parameter, by non-local $T\bar T$-like deformations of quantum field theories. Using a heat-kernel formulation, we extract the local geometric terms generated by stress-tensor two-point functions, and apply the construction to free fermions, massive Maxwell theory, and second-order Yang-Mills theory. While the resulting coefficients are generally model dependent, conformal field theories contain a universal sector fixed by the central charge $C_T$. After regularization and renormalization, this sector yields finite, scheme-independent contributions organized into a finite set of curvature invariants. We further analyze trace-trace deformations, for which the relevant contact terms are determined by the Weyl anomaly, and derive the corresponding finite gravitational action for a general class of minimal non-local kernels. These results provide a quantum effective-action realization of induced gravity in which universal conformal data determine calculable contributions to the emergent geometric response.

Pdx Pups and Handlers had one of the larger groups, 50 or so.
Furries were larger, with four giant inflatables, and maybe 20 in fursuit.
Portland Leather Alliance only had half a dozen in a pickup truck with stocks and other bondage hardware, kinda sad.
The Eagle (leather bar) had a bigger group, shirtless harnesses, and two guys flinging bullwhips
... I wonder if the neighbors will mind if I get a bullwhip and practice in the backyard

That time in 2014 when I won a chicken coop in a raffle, but there were no ziptrucks available and it didn't fit in my friend's car - so I biked it home. I just happened to be wearing a #Seattle #DisasterReliefTrials t-shirt at the time.

A bakfiet-style cargo bike with white frame, parked in a big parking lot. There's no box on the bike, just the front platform. On the platform, strapped on is an 8ft tall wooden chicken coop; it's a 4x4 wood box on legs. There's a door w/ mesh, etc. In the background, a truck with a platform that says "salt box designs.com"
That same white cargo bike, parked in my driveway in a residential area. Another side view, with the same chicken coop strapped onto the bike but from the opposite side. This side is just a wooden wall, no door or mesh to see into the coop.  I'm standing at the bike, hands on the handlebars and seat, one food (in flip-flops, 'cuz that's how I roll) on the top bar. I'm wearing a white helmet, jeans, and a bright orange t-shirt that reads "Seattle WA Disaster Relief Trials 2013", and grinning. Th…
Same white bike and chicken coop, this time from the front. I'm sitting on the bike saddle, but all you can see is my face; the rest is blocked by the chicken coop. The coop lefts are straight up in the air. The coop is probably 5-6ft wide, when viewed from the front. The wall on this side is solid wood.
Another view of the bike in the big parking lot, this time from the back. Here you can see the bakfiet has a mixe-style top bar, and then handlebars. The chicken coop entrance is visible, just an oval hole probably about a foot tall in an otherwise solid wall. There's also mesh on the bottom of the coop.

I've been goofing off from my usual Winter unemployment to get some warmth along the East coast of Australia.

People walk on the sand, a baby plays in the water, kids make sand castles and surfers reorganise for their next run around the calm pool behind the sand bar at the Eastern end of Coolangatta Beach.

Once every year or so, YouTube's algorithm serves this video up to me as if it's not something I've watched a hundred (a thousand?) times, and when it does, I can't help but let it have its way into my stream.
Truly one of the best musical videos of all time. (And I say this as a not-very-good bassist who definitely recognizes that this line is just the same one bar for the whole 15 minutes.)
