Silver Age circle panel. Yellow background. With a thin tree standing between them, a boy looks through a box camera and says to a girl, "BUTTER THE SHUTTER!"
"ROGER," she replies.
Caption: "Butter the shutter means smile for the camera...and ROGER means o.k.!

Ad for an "Auto Strap for front-seat tots" from a 1961 Sears catalog. A photo of a maybe 2-year-old child standing on the front seat of a car, looking out the window. It wears loose khaki pants and white t-shirt, and is restrained by a harness that goes over its shoulders and around the waist, connecting to a strap tucked into the back seat cushion.
The ad copy reads, "Guards your child as you're busy driving through traffic. Let's him sit, stand, kneel or sleep without disturbing the driver. Prevents spills from sudden stops. Heave web harness attaches to safety strap that snaps to car seat frame. Removes easily. Also use as a walking harness. For 1 to 10-year-olds. Fits any car. Shpg. wt. 2 oz. 49 G 2945.....$1.88"

Better than nothing I guess but Junior's still gonna get flung around like a cat toy when the car hits an unexpected rough patch of highway.
US is working hard to reverse that trend.

As Andrea would tell it, as far as my photos are concerned, we only have one cat*… but the truth is any time I try to take Cookie’s picture she comes barreling towards me for lovin’!
Heh.
*to be perfectly clear; Casper and Cookie are Andrea’s cats. They have adopted me. For which I am eternally grateful.
🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Poster for Scream Club. Title is in bloody dripping pink. At the bottom is a '50s-style woman clasping her face in her hands, eyes wide and screaming. The text reads, "Scream Club / Wednesdays! / 4390 Cole mill rd durham nc / I'm so serious. Everybody meet at Eno River and let's scream until our nervous systems reboot. Bring your friends. Bring a blanket. Bring whatever emotional damage you're carrying."
Organizer has been soliciting interest and suggestions for this for a while now, so it looks like the inaugural event is a go.

Very grainy photo of a roof
'October 26, 2026, is widely recognized as the 200th anniversary of the first-ever photograph by French inventor Nicéphore Niépce. “View from a Window at Le Gras” was thought to have been taken on October 26, 1826'

The cover to a comic book, "Three-Dimensional Seduction of the Innocenet", showing a curvy brunette pinup in elbow-length-purple glvoes, stockings, a witch's hat with jack-on-lanterns on it, and very skimpy black clothing covering her crotch and breasts. She's posed in front of a full moon with bats flying across it. Behind her is a stack of jack-o-lanterns; buried in the stack is a single severed head.

Pretty sure I have this ish in a little collection of 3D comix.

Pisa, Italy.
Laying on that tourist shit with a trowel.
Just after World War II ended, by dad was an MP in Italy. One of his jobs was to stand at guard at various spots on the tower. Mostly this was to keep American soldiers from doing not-so-nice touristy stuff at night.
Empty threats, so far. They should offer the Nobel Prize for Engineering, to whomever successfully brings it back to level. Too beautiful to leave in such disarray.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 It is beautiful, the details is amazing.
There was a suggestion once to do something but I don't know if anything came of it. Italy is a different country, in many ways.

IIRC they did some correction a few decades ago actually straitening it slightly and preventing future tilting. I think part of the argument for not fully straightening it was simply that it'd no longer be the leaning tower then.

Pic of bridges over the Arno river, Florence Italy.
More of the Being a Tourist in Italy series.
Lovely weather.

If you are still there, the best ice cream comes from Vivoli, they have these funny little yellow cars with livery on them.
@poorusher We ate some today! True story and delicious.
Mind you, I haven't found any ice cream in Italy that wasn't delicious, so far.
I did watch a video of tourist tips that did help to identify the "good" places!

The Office whiteboard meme, but the first panel says "I've got a joke about trickle down economics" and the second says "but 99% of your won't get it."
I like the exchange later in the thread where someone says "Wait- Robert Reich found tumblr?" and he replies with "I've been here the whole time," the line his son says at the start of every episode of Game Changer.

The Bull Fire is burning west of Reno near the California border. Sunrise on Saturday was incredibly orange. I couldn’t really capture it with my phone but when I turned west, I stumbled onto this composition.

Got up at 5am and went to walk up a mountain on the weekend, with a 7 year old. Maybe 400-600m of ascent, so nothing crazy, but we were already at over 2000m to begin with. Kiddo got tired but took it like a champ.
Gorgeous!

The classic illustration of the trolley car (a figure at the switch, with one person tied to the tracks on the branch and five people tied to the branch on the main line), only the trolley car is Lowly Worm in his apple car.
Should be gold bug on the upper track

vintage photo of people in women's clothes in a photobooth that resembles a blender
Back when society agreed that everyone walking down the street doesn't need to be a part of your stupid phone conversation.
I really miss phone booths. Like a lot.
@Lockjaw just pontificating...I wonder if we're due for a comeback. People are slowly realizing carrying a phone with them 24/7 isn't the healthiest thing to be doing.

the painted cover of Wandl the Invader, a story by Ray Cummings published as a novel by Double Novel Books in 1961. the painting depicts a blonde white woman with short hair wearing a form-fitting fuchsia jumpsuit who is hiding behind a corner from a goofy-ass looking gumball alien, deadass he looks like a beach ball-sized wad of drippy chewing gum with two snail eye-stalks, segmented tentacles for arms, two little patrick star legs , and flat pyramid-shaped nose with two obvious nostrils, and a gigantic slit for a mouth that stretches the width of his entire body
Wandl is a verb and the invader deserves it
Not all those who wandl are lost
This guy is a walking HR violation.
Which one is Wandl?
wandl hardly knows 'er!
