Pysanka Time!
alt text
Mrs. Otaman was busy creating pysanky for customers & clients. I think she made about 36 just in the past week! I only got a few snaps of the leftover ones here. Top right is my favourite – a new design for this year. I also love the wonderful accident on the bottom left. This egg got some moisture inside during one stage of dyeing (my wife works on emptied eggs), and the moisture negatively affected how the blue dye adhered. The resulting starry-sky effect is really cool though, and I'm calling this the Artemis II egg.

Screen capture from the 1984 film 'Night of the Comet.' Two young women sit on the hood of a police car, both of its front doors open. Downtown Los Angeles is behind them, the sky an eerie red. Subtitled dialogue text reads "Hey, I'm sorry if the end of the world makes me a little nervous."

Is Jack Black, Meatloaf's love child?
@0y3ahSansAcut3 and if so, did Meatloaf leave a long-time bandmate to dangle after stating what everyone was thinking? Is that where Jack learned it?

Roy Orbison - Only the Lonely (Black & White Night 30)
alt text
Roy Orbison, backed by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, James Burton, Glen D. Hardin, Tom Waits, k.d. lang, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, JD Souther, T Bone Burnett, Steven Soles, and Jennifer Warnes, sings his song "Only the Lonely". In the background one sees glimpses many of those backing musicians look so happy to be there; they keep looking at Orbison with adoration and happiness. Bruce Springsteen looks particularly amazed.
All the Bruce Springsteen coverage lately has reminded me of this great video from a great album, in which Orbison is "backed by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, James Burton, Glen D. Hardin, Tom Waits, k.d. lang, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, JD Souther, T Bone Burnett, Steven Soles, and Jennifer Warnes." You can see the Bruce just absolutely losing his mind with joy in this video, as in, he looks like he can't believe he's there! He's trying so hard not to have the biggest shit eating grin. Such a great album, too.
My fave part of this show was when Tom Waits pounds out a whack chord and everyone kinda looks at the weird guy like WTF
My old man recorded this on VHS and watched it regularly.
It's amazing.

Orbison had such a great voice. Damn.

The Flemish Clock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
I stumbled on this big ass clock in the entryway of the Barcelona History Museum while exploring. It was built in 1576 and ran in the cathedral until 1864.
I’ve watched blacksmithing videos for years. I’ve always wanted to try forging but never really got around to it. Seeing this machine built almost entirely of forged steel was breathtaking. To give a sense of scale, I’m 5’10”/178cm and I was maybe crouching a little for this shot.
I thought the image was more interesting in negative so I didn’t convert to positive. Shot on a Minolta XD-11 with Kodak Tri-X pushed to 3200 and a 35mm lens.

Yes, these old mechanisms are sights to behold.
The inversion gives it an unearthly M.C. Escher quality. Great picture

Cool photos. I love that we still have these amazing, precise machines that were built by hand.

This is a stylized, humorous comic drawn in a simple red-and-white color scheme.
Overall layout:
The image looks like a poster or PSA. Bold, all-caps text appears at the top and bottom, framing a single large illustration in the center.
Main illustration:
A cartoon person has just tripped off a curb and is shown mid-fall, sprawled awkwardly on the ground. Their body is exaggeratedly limp, with long, thin limbs stretched out in unnatural positions.
The absurd twist:
Their bones have popped out of their body and are scattered on the ground around them—arms, legs, and even a skull lying separately.
The character is looking down at the loose bones with alarm.
Two speech bubbles say:
“OH NO, ALL OF MY BONES!”
“THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INSIDE OF ME.”
Environment:
A sidewalk and curb are visible, indicating they tripped while walking down the street.
The background is minimal, with dotted shading to suggest ground texture.
Tone and style:
The drawing is simple and cartoonish, not graphic or realistic.
The humor is absurd and exaggerated, playing on an impossible scenario (bones ejecting from a body).
The bottom text continues the joke by pretending this ridiculous outcome is a real risk, warning people to “look before you step off curbs.”
It’s a parody of overly dramatic safety warnings—taking a mundane accident (tripping) and escalating it into something hilariously impossible and grotesque in a playful, non-serious way. 'I ALL HAPPENS IN A HEARTBEAT. ONE MOMENT YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THE STREET. THE NEXT YOU'VE TRIPPED AND FALLEN AND EJECTED ALL OF YOUR BONES. ALLOFMY OHNO BONES! THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BEINSIDE E OFME. OF ME. 대대국식터다다습니 / من AND ALL YOUR CLOTHES FALL OFF toO AND YOU'RE NAKED, AND EVERYONE CAN SEE YOUR FLAPPY, EMPTY SKIN. ISIT IS WORTH THE RISK? IS IT WORTH THE SHAME? LOOK BEFORE YOU STEP OFF CURBS. ALL OF THIS STUFF CAN AND WILL HAPPEN.'

Kyoto cherry blossom full flowering days since the year 812
alt text
A graph potting the year versus the date of flowering of the cherry blossom. The years are on the horizontal scale, the month or moment of the year of flowering on the vertical scale. at the right end of the graph, approaching the year 2025 we can see the graph goes down, which means that the flowering starts earlier and earlier in the year. The moment of flowering in the year 2025 is one of the lowest/esrliest on the graph.
‘Based on the research done by Aono and Kazui in 2008, by Aono and Saito in 2010 and by Aono in 2012 the historic full flowering days since the year 812 for Kyoto in Japan where gathered.
Yearly we add the new dates and update the graph. The current version is up to date till 2025.’

I myself have seen something similar happen with the magnolia bloom here in the Netherlands. When I was a kid, over half a century ago, I know the exact date when the white Magnolia would be exploding into bloom, because it always was exactly around Remembrance Day, May 4. We would keep our one minute of silence, while I was staring at the white Magnolia in front of our window.
Since then, I’ve seen the bloom happen earlier and earlier, starting around 1980, and now it’s a full month earlier. By the time May comes around, all the flowers are gone nowadays.

I gave this a like, but I do not like this.
@snarkout yes, that. I edited the post to add a bit of my own experience.
Well, you know the saying..."April showers bring May flowers and uncapped global emissions leading to increasingly unstable global warming brings April flowers."
