@glennf Love Nancy, have been reading it since Father brought Miami newspapers home every day when I was growing up in Florida. Also enjoy the early Fritzi Ritz cartoons on Mastodon when Nancy was her little-seen niece, the early romantic situations she gets into are very charming. Bushmiller clearly enjoyed drawing beautiful young women & Fritzi & her friends were perfect examples 🙂
In the continued adventures of Glenn Flies A Lot (trip #8 by air in last 14 months), I have a terribly early morning return in a couple days home…and Alaska already put me in first class. The flight, to be fair, will be half empty. I think this is a repositioning flight they do for timing reasons. I earned Alaska status last year and I will take the reward. So far, been offered or given premier and first class on about 70% of flights!
@glennf As a PNWer I definitely appreciate Alaska status. I barely miss getting upgraded to Premier, at least. I don't know if you do this, but you can usually upgrade yourself to Premier ~24 hours before a flight, rather than wait for it to happen automatically.
@glennf I’m pretty sure this is an event related to the comic strip but my first thought was “Why is Glenn attending a festival for people named Nancy?”
I don’t entirely understand who Republicans are performing for. The ones who are most in the bag for Israel, no matter how genocidal Israel is, and are currently yelling about antisemitism on college campuses, do not care about antisemitism or students or Israel as a state or Jews. Many of them are either overtly or covertly antisemitic. Who is the audience?
@glennf It’s performative aimed at working the refs who cover news for the disturbingly large portion of the population that still thinks that there are two major functioning political parties run by adults in this country.
Also, it’s very important to their eschatology that Jerusalem remains governed by Jewish people.
AirPort Utility was discontinued years ago. It only worked with Apple’s base stations. It does not scan a network in a useful way. Some fact checking when referring people to software would be very useful. https://wapo.st/3wHyd0P There are third-party Wi-Fi network scanners that are very helpful.
Clarification due to all the responses!
• AirPort Utility for iOS can be downloaded; it hasn't been updated for 4 years and its primary functionality is for discontinued Apple Wi-Fi base stations.
• Using the Wi-Fi Scan tool within it, you can scan for nearby network names. When a device has joined the local Wi-Fi network and is no longer broadcasting a “set me up" network, this is not useful. APU doesn’t provide on-network device scanning
I'm looking to hire someone to do some slightly technical illustrations for How Comics Were Made. There are a few pieces of equipment and processes that have no great photographic or illustrative elements out there, but I can provide reference images and rough drawings. If you’re interested, send me links to your work? I’m not looking for blueprint-style perfection, but something that conveys the meaning and is accurate.
