this is fantastic
The villain shoots and kills Columbo. There is a bright flash, then the regenerated Columbo says "Just one more thing..."
@dreyfusslugado +++ 100% This.
This is the Comic Relief representation I was looking for.
4th Columbo's Peugeot is much bigger on the inside that it seems.

A black-and-white photo of a young brunette woman sitting on a fence in a city, looking off to the side. She's wearing a sweater, short skirt, and tall boots, and is holding a poster that reads, "VOTE PEOPLES DEMOCRACY: Jobs for All / Houses for All / Votes for All / NOW".

On this day in 1969, the socialist Irish Republican Bernadette Devlin gave her maiden speech in Parliament, at the time the youngest female MP ever to do so. Instantly a celebrity for her age and outspokenness, she appeared on Carson, met with the Black Panthers, and was given the key to New York by John Lindsey (which she turned over to the Panthers' Harlem chapter).
Devlin served six months in jail for incitement to riot after the "Battle of the Bogside" which kicked off the troubles, and was a personal witness to Bloody Sunday. (Perhaps most famously, she slapped Home Secretary Reginald Maudling on the floor of the House of Commons for his assertion that Bloody Sunday was an act of self-defense on the part of the Parachute Regiment. "Asked if she intended to apologise to Maudling, Devlin said: 'I'm just sorry I didn't get him by the throat.'")
In 1981, Devlin (by then having changed her name to Bernadette Devlin McAliskey) and her husband, Michael McAliskey, survived an assassination attempt by Loyalist paramilitary forces; Devlin McAliskey was shot nine times. Since 1997, Devlin McAliskey has run a community development and advocacy non-profit in Northern Ireland.

A three-panel comic illustrating the dangers of trusting AI advice. In the top panel, a person holds a red-and-white spotted mushroom and asks a smiling character labeled “AI” if it’s edible; the AI cheerfully replies “Yes! 100% edible! Delicious, even!” In the middle panel, the scene turns chaotic: the mushroom is revealed to be poisonous, and an angry human grabs the frightened AI while flames rage in the background. A sign reads “AI’s Trust-Building Poison Class” with darkly humorous bullet points. In the bottom panel, a grave marked “RIP Trust in AI 2025” appears, alongside the AI character giving a lesson: “Always check with a human… or at least don’t eat random stuff I tell you is good.” A final checklist warns not to trust AI with mushrooms, life decisions, or passwords.

I fed this to ChatGPT and prompted "Make this more hilarious."
I'm not sure what to make of this.

Too long a haul for me, but that's pretty cool.
Technically commemorates a bigunit, but is not one itself.
He once drank 114 beers, then had wine with dinner.
@samh yeah when you have to shit in the bathtub, nobody stops you from buying another case.

A glowing, translucent, indigo-green blob that resembles a Pac-Man ghost hovers in a dark space. The blob has two round eyes and a fixed smile, like the face of a toy. Above the blob is a glowing blue-green halo from which fog is rising. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Watercolour of pink magnolias on a dark purple background.
Last September, I met at a woman through a dating site. On the first zoom call she told me that a week before we met up she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer and that I was allowed to run away.
Now I don't run away from stuff like that, and we very very quickly got into a very intense relationship. One month in, she started chemotherapy and things went downhill between the two of us. We split up in December. It wasn't very nice. She now has finished chemo, had one breast removed and is recovering - although it's officially stage four so the long-term prognosis isn't good.
But we stayed in touch, albeit at a distance. Tomorrow I'll be seeing her for the first time in months. I'm having lunch with her, together with a good mutual friend. The friend asked me if I would make a drawing for my ex so we could give it to her with a message. So this is what we're going to give her tomorrow. (top and bottom edge cut off so it's really straight and kind of nice at double postcard size.)

That’s gorgeous.
good luck; i hope it goes well.
i know it's tough navigating these things, especially when you're balancing empathy for an ex and protecting yourself at the same time.
beautiful work, by the way. i think she'll really appreciate it

@m3moellering Thank youuuuu
@nikkuneko Thank you! Because of the chemo, our relationship got under a lot of stress quickly - and our differences probably got even bigger. She said quite a lot of things that hurt me and I truly don't know if it was her or the chemo or anything else. And I didn't see or respect some of her boundaries.
I'm trying to let go and build a new relationship with her, but it's not so easy. (thanks for letting me vent)

As someone who has built some wonderful and meaningful relationships with exes, let me just say that it takes work but it is possible and it’s often tremendously rewarding.
@BennyTheIcepick Oh, I Agree! I have good, if not great relationships with almost all of my exes. This is an outlier. But I have some faith in our mutual willingness.
Lovely all around.
@spingo thanks! 😘
@waa you blow me away, this is the lovliest thing I've seen/read in a while. I truly hope you can find a good balanced friendship out of all this. I'm the same with exes (cept 1 😏) and whilst not best mates, still mates.
@Argie thank you😍😍😍 I saw her today, and we had lunch and went to a museum and it was actually all really nice.
@waa awesome 😁

a small white plastic computer with a green keyboard. It is labelled "IQ 8300" but is sitting on a manual that is titled "PC 8300"
I picked up this not-quite-compatible clone of the ZX81 / Timex-Sinclair 1000 at VCF East in Wall Twp, NJ over the weekend.
It's variously known as a Lambda 8300 or Your Computer PC 8300. It is quite terrible and I love it.
VCF East was great until some arsehole called in a bomb threat on Sunday afternoon

Knowing nothing of any of these things I am curious what makes it terrible and why that is endearing
Yes, do tell...
Fun. I've only read about using cassettes.
@BennyTheIcepick @samh It's more about the challenge of what you can make them do *despite* the limitations. This has 2K of RAM, a keyboard that squeaks at a different pitch with every key you press, 64x48 b&w graphics, and an amazingly slow BASIC interpreter.
I appreciate your zest for the weird at every turn, scruss!
Shiny! Now if they'd come out with a VIC-20 clone, that would make me a happy boy. Yes, in aware of the C64. I was too poor to own a C64

A four-panel Calvin and Hobbes comic strip from 1995. Calvin's dad sits at his home computer and says, "It used to be that if a client wanted something done in a week, it was considered a rush job, and he'd be lucky to get it. Now, with modems, faxes, and car phones, everybody wants everything instantly! Improved technology just increases expectations. These machines don't make life easier - they make life more harassed." In the last panel, Calvin is depicted holding a box and says, "Six minutes to microwave this?? Who's got that kind of time?!" His dad then says, "If we wanted more leisure, we'd invent machines that do things _less_ efficiently."

A.I. "I can help with that!"
People tend to get the point being made here, but don't realize that the position that AI is going to push us all into involuntary leisure is inconsistent with it.
@BooBounder involuntary leisure meaning prison camps.

A stylized illustration of a poster for The Big Lebowski. The top and bottom suggest it is a rug. Center is The Dude dancing in his robe with his White Russian listening to head phones. Around him is a pattern of viking helmets and bowling pins. At the top and bottom are squares of relevant things to the movie such as a toe, shades, bowling ball, and a ferret.
I ~love~ Pam Wishbow's work. Currently mourning the unavailability of this poster.

Also a big fan of Pam Wishbow's art. Love the style so much!
It might be helpful to check https://expressobeans.com/public... from time to time.
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
@LocalStain 👀
@misslivie It's a very active community. From what I understand if you put the word out there that you are looking for something folks will find it for you or, at the very least, point you in the right direction.
I can't speak to how expensive things might be, but how bad you want something is a much better gauge of how expensive it might get than whatever "going rate" the market allows for...
If you know what I mean, 😉
Cheers.

Some lovely anecdotes in here.

I loved this and as a huge Cocteau fan back in the day, it was great to see his face again
I met him on the HoLV tour in Chicago, and learned that I am very, very bad at chatting up artists I admire.
