Two middle aged white ladies yapping on a split screen.
I have a podcast called Deconstruction Workers where I basically ask people about leaving religion and Jane agreed to be on it! She's a gem and has a new memoir called TMI where she talks about religious trauma. Ep should be up tomorrow?

i spent some time trying to convince a woman hater not to hate women and i was not successful.
I value your effort. But that’s a long shot at best.
It's exhausting xo

I’m low-key obsessed with this house.

Yeah amazing shot. The symmetry is lovely and the water is as still as glass.

A small blobby grey creature stands half-submerged in water. She is wet and glossy, with chub rolls at her neck, tiny round ears, black eyes and a wide hopeful snout. She is near a white plastic float, which she often hides under. She is Maple, the baby Pygmy Hippo at Toronto Zoo.

Arrived today. A watercolour by Polish artist Mateusz Urbanowicz https://mateuszurbanowicz.com/, who lives in Tokyo with his wife, Japanese comic artist Kana https://kanaurbanowicz.com/
A new fav postcard. I just need to get the vintage stamps off the card without damaging it, wish me luck

screenshot of a Facebook post. Person A says, "So ready for 47 to be done tomorrow and move on to 48!" Person B comments, "He will still be in for another 2 years." Person A replies, "I am 47 years old and tomorrow is my birthday?"

this is how pervasive he's become
when you turn 48, you have completed your 48th year
I have a great idea for a birthday present...

A middle-aged man (me) in an old hall in front of a table of books.
I'm wearing all black, glasses and a mask and giving a two-fingered salute.

A skull with a fez?

@joost Ain't never gonna die it without the fez on.
are you flicking us the Vees?
@scruss yes (see alt tag). I also never know what to call it apart from two -ingered salute. Seem to recall people also saying a French salute?
Oh, Up Yours I guess.
@poorusher It's confusing because some people do the peace sign that way. It's also almost totally aged out.
I think the French salute is an Agincourt reference, but possibly apocryphal

@joost I grew up on the Bonzos (the perks of having a brother who is ten years older), but I wonder if anybody here knows them.
@waa I guess I was too young
@waa I was too young for them and they didn't really reach my part of the US at all, so I wasn't seeing them in the bins of the used record shops I would haunt in my teens. First time I heard "The Intro & The Outro" was on the radio, I can't even remember when or where, and I knew right away they were great.
I only learned about them when someone forwarded a clip of Craig Ferguson lip syncing to this classic https://mltshp.com/p/1RYCS
@joost @bocaj It's a bit of an acquired taste, but give them a try. They're written down as a bit of a novelty/gimmick/cover band but that is hugely unjust. My advice: start off with The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse. Not even my favourite but quite accessible, and it gives a good impression of what they could do. Don't skip 'Rhinocratic Oaths':
Mrs. Betty Pench was playing the trombone when she heard a knock on the door
"I wonder who that is at eleven o'clock in the morning", she thought
But cautiously opened the door and instead of the turbaned ruffian she had expected
She found a very nice young man
Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest
"Would you like a triumph spitfire or three thousand in cash?", He smile
Mrs. Pench took the money
"What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business" he giggled
"I think I'll become an alcoholic" said Betty

I was low key obsessed as a sixth-former (late 80's). My buddy, Jason, loved the Bonzos.
He even taught himself how to play skiffle on acoustic guitar and then would pretend to smash it up at the end.

My daughter dressed as Uncle Fester.
I don't post much of my private life anywhere, but if there's anywhere that I feel safe, it's right here. This is my daughter, who was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer earlier this year. No cancer is good, but if you're going to get beat cancer, this is the one to get. Very manageable, especially if caught early like hers was. Chemo took her hair, so I shaved mine off in solidarity. She's been doing really well. The chemo hasn't made her very sick, just a loss of energy the past few treatments. The tumor was small to begin with, and it's already shrink to less than half its original size. One more month of biweekly treatments, then they'll reevaluate and operate if necessary. As you can see, she's taking it very well.
An excellent example of life giving you lemons so time to whip up a batch of lemonade.
I love this so much.
The absolute best costume! And what an electric personality she must have!
This rules!
EAT SHIT, CANCER!
Living like an Addams is the way to go in any situation.

The big rooster poking its beak in there as well I see 😏
We're going to need to get some measurements from his counterpart in Wagin to see who's boss.
Hey, Rambo!
I read recently that Aussie lamb prices were skyrocketing because many farmers had reduced or eliminated herds due to a national trend towards chicken. A friend in Toowoomba said “Everything’s fucked” and I agreed.
@not_copinghagen Rambo has about 6m on Wagin’s Baart. Rambo was built as a structure you can go inside, while Baart is a statue you can walk under, which means Baart wins at least one measuring competition. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places...
Rambo looking a little less crowded: https://mltshp.com/p/1ODOT
Thank ewe!
Walk under??? eeewwwwww
@bezt Thank you for your service. I was going to break out the tape measure...

A color illustration by Moebius.
A group of humans watch aghast as a giant egg bursts out of the floor on top of a tangle of roots. Above them a truly gigantic black thing with red eyes tears apart reality.

Fun fact: You could work harder than anyone has ever worked every day for the rest of your life and still earn less money than a guy who got lucky one time.
This may not be safe for viewing at work.

woman dressed as an enormous, severed hand walking on its two middle fingers, its gory, gashed stump on top
That's my exact fetish!
It insists upon itself.
I gotta hand it to her
She never fails to deliver
She just might be my favorite part of Halloween. I can't get over how freaky it looks when she looks around, too!

i'm pretty sure my Dad wrote me this after he confronted me about my drinking. i hope he can see me now.
What a great note.
I don't know about the context but as a dad myself I totally understand the feeling.

That’s beautiful!
I recently found out that my date kept and annotated the first drawing I gave to him. It was terrible, so he made careful notes about what it was for posterity. He said it was one of his most prized possessions. Prior to that moment I wasn’t totally sure that he loved me, so it was like going from 0 to 60 in one sentence.

Archie comic. Mr. Weatherbee is big mad about Archie and Jughead's gigantic-canvas, psilocybin inspired flower power canvas at an art show. "WHAT THE HAIGHT-ASHBURY IS THIS ?!" he says.
Oh Mr. Weatherbee
I lived in the Haight for, like, 18 years. Can confirm.

Classic 3 panel meme, depicting the moments after Gandalf's death with Boromir begging to give everyone a moment for pity's sake. First panel with Samwise head in hands is captioned "Spooky season lovers on November 1st", second panel shows Santa Claus with a full bag of toys, and third panel with Boromir is captioned "give them a moment, for pity's sake!"

Singer-songwriter Lee Bains performing solo at The Sinkhole in St. Louis
Went and saw former Dexateen and sometimes leader of The Glory Fires Lee Bains perform a solo show last night. Among other things, it served as a refreshing counter-punch to all of the Midterm Election bullshit (and just outright lies) being flung around the country right now.
Thanks to a slightly small Sunday night crowd, I got to chat with him a bit both before and after his set and, dang, what an incredibly kind man. I was introduced to The Dexateens back in 2010ish by a mutual acquaintance that lived in Lee's hometown of Birmingham, AL (some of you all probably know the name BitterOldPunk). Lee not only remembered Jon, but he was quite stoked to learn that I'll be sending a copy of his recently published book of poems up to Jon's new(ish) home in British Columbia.
Great night, great dude. If you've never heard of him, he put out a new solo live album ("Free South 2025") earlier this year, or for more a full-on experience, the Glory Fires "Live at the Nick" is an absolute ripper.

Audio of the "No UFO's" single. Six and a half minutes of sequenced electronic beats and simple synthesized melody which somehow manages to swing despite how rigidly mechanical it is.
#RIP Juan Atkins, who invented techno. The whole genre.

There was a 30 year run where Detroit was a whirlwind of musical invention, starting in the 60s and peaking with its signature EDM. (There was also the noise scene in the mid-90s but, aside from Wolf Eyes and arguably Andrew WK, it was too underground to be world-changing the way Motown or The Stooges or Detroit Techno was.)
