WHAT IF COLUMBO COULD REGENERATE LIKE THE DOCTOR? 1st Columbo: Groucho Marx 2nd Columbo: Danny Kaye 3rd Columbo: Sid Caesar 4th Columbo: Peter Falk (obviously he's the fourth, I mean come on, both in terms of iconicism and timing) 5th Columbo: Jamie Farr 6th Columbo: Judd Hirsch 7th Columbo: Howard Hesseman 8th Columbo: Mandy Patinkin 9th Columbo: Eugene Levy 10th Columbo: Mark Ruffalo 11th Columbo: Adam Brody 12th Columbo: Jason Alexander 13th Columbo: Natasha Lyonne 14th Columbo: Mark Ruffalo again 15th Columbo: Omar Epps NOT PICTURED: Alan Arkin ("War Columbo"), Whoopi Goldberg ("Fugitive Columbo"), Laura Linney (possible 16th Columbo), Don Adams/Warren Christopher (played first and second Columbos, respectively, in "The Five Columbos" TV special)

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.
Sure, I'll add this to my belief system.
@dreyfusslugado incredible
Love how the 10th and 14th Columbo are both Mark Ruffalo.

A black and white comic, three panels stacked one on top of the other with white gutters. In the top panel, a toad looks questioning as a balloon from off panel exclaims, "You poor creature!" In the middle panel, the toad looks quite literally the most crestfallen I've ever seen a face as the balloon from off panel says, "It must be so hard..." And in the last and bottom panel, the toad lights up, stars appearing around their head, warmed by the words in the balloon from off panel that continues, "...being the most beautiful toad in the world!"

This deserves a knuckle sandwich.
@gwint Like pickled knuckle, with cumin seeds?

Only way to make these more disappointing would be to serve them from a Swedish cookie tin
A little sesame oil, a little chili crisp you got yourself a starter

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.

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 😁

On a relatively bare purple stage, a group of singers, rock drummer and two electric bassists sing and play while a large number of eccentrically dressed dancers prance and writhe around them.
Leenalchi is a pansori/pop fusion band. Pansori being a traditional folk music, the singers are recruited from Seoul Nat'l University's traditional music department. It's a pretty demanding style of singing, watch and you'll see. The band is named after a 19th century pansori master.
The South Korean music scene's been making very interesting hybrids of traditional and modern forms for at least a decade. See also Jambinai's postrock fusion.
I love how they also dressed the dancers in a very random mix of modern street wear and pieces from traditional outfits.
This was a viral hit on Korean internets about half a dozen years ago. Two basses, no guitars, pretty tight groove. The lyrics are adapted from tradition, I couldn't find a straightforward translation but this looks like a decent explainer: https://studykoreanatho.me/leenalch...
TIL the founding bassist also does film soundtracks and scored "Train to Busan".

Very strangely, for I have no memory of it, the sound evokes a sense of "I have heard this before and I was very young" i.e. 40 or more years ago. Maybe in school?
By this I mean the pansori sound
Thanks for sharing this and the explanation!
I love Leenalchi! There first album is one of my faves as of late. I think they have a new one coming out.
@infini I know what you mean, it has a deep familiarity but I can't place it. Have to assume I must have happened across pansori singing (or a stylistically similar tradition) when I was listening to world music programming on the radio back in the day.

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".

this is what happens when a late night lightning strike causes the cat to piss himself; and then he refuses to participate calmly in a bath. so he gets the shears. now he's just passive aggressive until it grows back.
A great look for summertime heat. My cat loved it.

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."

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.
