Obviously.
Sort of how ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard is the only one in the band that doesn't have a beard.
I mean the real question is how a toddler is good enough at baseball to make it to first.

the hummus sounds good as heck! would love to see your recipe.
@nikkuneko I have been winging this lovely stuff. I keep raw pumpkin seeds bulk purchased at Winco. If you want to get diwn and dirty, Costa del Sol, sells a foil packed refried black beans, product. It is maybe an 18 oz pack. The ingredients were good, healthful, they were 1$ per, in a bin. Their other product had msg, didn't buy. So I sautéed ~1/3 C raw pumpkin seeds with garlic, cumin, some medium heat, red chili powder, in extra virgin olive oil, until they are a little toasty. Add a couple of tablespoons more oluve oil at the end and the juice of a whole smaller lemon, put this in the blender, with either a can of black beans, or half the pack of refried black beans, or a can of refried black beans if the ingredients are OK with you.
Start the pumpkin seeds oil and lemon juice in the blender, add a little soy sauce, water, or more lemon juice to help grind the seeds, ( I like them smooth.) Then add the beans and blend until smooth, this should not be runny, and you can help it along with a spatula. If you have a food processor this is easier. Add as much hot sauce as you like, if you want this to last for a few days then I would skip the cilantro, or parsley, unless you cook it well with the seeds. The lemon juice gets cooked, so this ends up being a durable spread. I usually melt some Muenster cheese on top of the toast before putting on the hummus. But this is good also as a vegetarian meal. The packaged black beans had vegetable oil, rather than lard.
This is easy to vary, my current batch is made with some chili beans.

I got this on the mail today. My final payment was made by auto-withdrawal yesterday. It is actually mine. 🎉
On another note, Google stuff is getting worse by the day. Google photos on my Pixel decided to be weirder than usual about cropping a photo to not include my home address or the car price on it and saving it. I used Firefox and tried to upload the crowd photo and the phone gave some error about the picture not being available. I thought it failed. I was wrong. It successfully uploaded the uncropped photo with my address and car price, and I didn't figure it out until an hour or two later. I deleted it but now I'm afraid the AI now knows where I live.

May Picture

A soft patchwork of muted spring colors, rectangular, 12 X 14 inner squares. The edges are soft, the painting seems more the comfort of spring, rather than jubilation. Also, it is a torso.
This is a portrait show, so now I see the torso.

this painting was my work machine desktop for many years!
I'm really trying to see a torso, but I can't. Maybe this is related to my inability to see Magic Eye pictures? Is there part of a head or face at all, or is it just shoulders down? I really want my brain to be able to click on this.
@Xedrik the Met link doesn't mention a torso at all https://www.metmuseum.org/art...

I would love to see this apparently regular newspaper factoid feature revived.

Coulda sworn there was a Tumblr or Blogger account dedicated to the topic, because there was a period in the late '00s when these were frequently circulating.

A long-exposure color photograph, showing a man (in shirt, tie, black hat, and gray pants) sitting in the middle of three shiny upholstered chairs on top of a set of stands where his feet are propped, while a ghostly blurred figure works on his shoes.

"With this early daguerreotype in mind, I traveled across New York City and asked people of different professions how long it takes them to earn one dollar. I then used their responses to calculate the exposure time for their respective portraits."
A dollar's worth of time from the lives of a sex worker, a pastor, a city council member, a butcher, a union organizer, a dry cleaner, and more, at the link. #photography

(and yes, this is the same dreadful movie Paul Rudd used in every movie interview with Conan)
@BennyTheIcepick Certainly one of the greatest pieces of comedy ever conceived.
Yes, I love the Rudd/Conan bit, but not enough to watch the movie.
One interesting thing about this clip and the whole number was that it was so branded to McDonalds. This was a blatant E.T. knock off. In E.T. they wanted to use M&Ms as a lure for E.T. but the corporation refused. Reece's Pieces was right on with it, and as a result became hugely successful. So, Mac And Me got McDonald's 100%.

A tenement building against a bright blue night. A white crescent moon sits in the top right of the sky. On closer inspection, the tenement is actually a book, with two greenish bars on the spine. There are multiple windows on the cover of the book, with different colored light. Some of the windows are dark or have curtains or blinds drawn. In the windows are various entities: a person, a cat, a monster, a teacup. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Reminds me slightly of the card game GoTown, where you stack rooms two at a time in a similar fashion

▶️ "Careful" | Boy Harsher

album art for boy harsher's 2019 album "careful". a vertical diptych of video screenshots, with very obvious artifacts. in the top frame, a female-presenting person in a tank top and combat pants falls back onto a bed. in the lower frame, she is looking upward with her head on the bed
i fell down a deep-assed hole of darkwave/synthpop/electropop over the weekend. overplayed the first CHVRCHES record, guiltily spun the crystal castles albums and alice glass' solo stuff, sifted through some s u r v i v e and more of that ilk.
somewhere on a bleak, empty side road off those genre highways are boy harsher. their grimy, glitching minimal synth lines and sharply cold vocals drill right into you. they haunt you. they bring to mind early 80s synthpop and industrial, albeit with a different kind of emotional weight.
i'd never heard of them until their vocalist guested on the last deafheaven album, but they are now thoroughly lodged into my brain. going back soon to get their earlier "yr body is nothing" and their immaculate soundtrack work.

Animation of a middle aged man riding a skateboard in a suburban parking lot. He is not moving all that fast.
I haven't skated, really, since I was 17. Last month I picked up my kid's unused longboard and have started relearning how. It is great. (Two years of weekly yoga practice has improved my balance significantly, that has made it a lot more fun.)
I'm not looking to do any tricks of any kind, just happy to carve a little.
Midlife crisis are underrated. Get out there an feel something again.

That's just glorious.
At this point I'm convinced Björn has access to another dimension where Moebius is still alive, churning out masterpieces on the daily. I hope this isn't causing some slow rupture in the space-time continuum. OTOH, might be worth it.
@gwint Haha, I think I'm just lucky he was an incredibly prolific artist (or maybe that's just my cover story)
