Laurazepam @daimbarrs First they came for Katie Hopkins and I did not speak, because I'd been waiting ages for them to come for Katie Hopkins.
Bob Harper @BobData Replying to @daimbarrs And then they came for Piers Morgan and I said he's over there, behind the sofa.

This morning I visited what our class calls "the blocks" which is the breakwater at Mar Bella beach (Barcelona). This area is stacked with these giant cement blocks. This was a few minutes after sunrise. Probably may favorite image of this series of explorations so far.
Sony A7iii, 85mm at f16, 4s exposure, 100 iso, circular polarizer and I'm pretty sure a variable ND filter cutting some light for the slow shutter.

Burnt out shopfront with signage THE ULTIMATE LASER ADVENTURE

A ‘Slow, children crossing’ sign on a telephone pole. The sign is mostly yellow with some black. The top is black with the word ‘SLOW’ in yellow letters. Below that is a black silhouette on yellow background of two children holding hands and running. Below them are the words ‘CHILDREN CROSSING’ in black, with each word on its own line.
Written in white on the two children are ‘MARB’ on the left child and ‘ACK?’ In the right.

Marb and Ack? are two common taggers in Minneapolis.

A middle aged man in big spectacles and a black and white oversized jumper, holding a glass of white wine. To the back left is a mirror, and back right an old poster of Mao Tse-Tung.
A friend of mine was messaging me yesterday, having been in Berlin for a couple of weeks he told me "I'm flying home to darkest Peru today".
"What time is your flight?" I asked.
"I'm on the plane now, Air France and on my seventh glass of Chablis".
I don't know anyone that buys airline WiFi so I told him to send me a photo and this was my response.
Just before I made jambalaya. Plus on Thursday I got offered a new contract.
Salud.

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao . . .
Contractulations!
@poorusher Happy that you have a new contract. Gefeliciteerd
American Airlines started giving away Wi-Fi on domestic flights recently. You just sign in and a couple of advertisements play and you get to do internet stuff. Nord vpn even works, so if you wanted to keep them from snooping on your browsing, you can.

Autochrome of young Hélène Gélibert, engrossed in her crochet, sitting on a stool
Autochrome of young Hélène Gélibert, engrossed in her crochet and enveloped in such beautiful iridescent light! It was taken in Monplaisir, France, by the Lumiere brothers and it depicts their niece (the daughter of Juliette Lumière). It is an original colour process from 1910 and not colourised.

still from the 1977 rankin-bass animated film adaptation of "the hobbit". in the frame, a mostly barren tree stands in the foreground as 14 small figures (the 13 dwarves and titular hobbit) and their two pack animals pass in single file. behind them clouds billow across a blue sky
people can hate on it all they want; it was a staple of my childhood and i still love it. the art style alone takes up so much space in my addled little brain. (not to mention those wild-assed songs, which i found myself somehow singing along to as i rewatched today)
there's a version on internet archive that attempts to restore the original broadcast audio with video from the last DVD release. it loses sync at a few spots, but is otherwise enjoyable:

I still get “where there’s a whip (snap!), there’s a way” popping up in my head occasionally.
Total foundational childhood memory. Let them hate. :)

The greatest adventurrrrrrre
@Robotron_smith "I don't wanna go to work today... *whip snap*" Has rotated thru my ears weekly for the past forever.
"so carefully, carefully with! the! plates!" while putting dishes away.
@1f2frfbf - absolutely
@Robotron_smith @1f2frfbf an absolute banger of an earworm!(though that's in their "return of the king" adaptation)
@mcmjolnir the warble heard round the world
@jennifer13 S A M E, i find myself uttering "that's what bilbo baggins hates!" every time i'm washing more than one dish, haha

@nikkuneko Ahhhh. I get this, the Ralph Bashki adaptation, and the Return of the King animated "sequel" confused in my mind. I love them all, to varying degrees of guilt and/or pleasure.
@1f2frfbf same! and no worries, these are all so easy to blend together! IIRC at one point all three of those were packaged together (i think on VHS? and maybe early DVD too?) so they're all kind of "one thing" for all intents and purposes
@neuracnu ah, nice! when i was a kid i always misheard /mis-sang that chorus as "down down the goblins down"
@nikkuneko - I just realized that was ol' Thurl Ravenscroft singing as well.
@neuracnu right? it's a wildly stacked voice cast on that one. friggin' john huston and otto preminger, all kinds of insane talent there

The band Die Spitz playing onstage at Off-Broadway in St. Louis, MO.
Last night's fun.

These kids are really good! Ava grew up next door to the guitar player in my band and we went from “I helped the kid next door with her amp” to “Hey, those kids won best new band in the Austin Music Awards” to “They got signed by Third Man and are on tour!” all within about 4 years.

"I saw this film [Solaris] late at night in a preview room in Moscow for the first time, and soon I felt my heart aching in agony with a longing to returning to the earth as quickly as possible. Marvellous progress in science we have been enjoying, but where will it lead humanity after all? Sheer fearful emotion this film succeeds in conjuring up in our soul. Without it, a science fiction movie would be nothing more than a petty fancy.
These thoughts came and went while I was gazing at the screen.
Tarkovsky was together with me then. He was at the corner of the studio. When the film was over, he stood up, looking at me as if he felt timid. I said to him, “Very good. It makes me feel real fear.” Tarkovsky smiled shyly, but happily. And we toasted vodka at the restaurant in the Film Institute. Tarkovsky, who didn’t drink usually, drank a lot of vodka, and went so far as to turn off the speaker from which music had floated into the restaurant, and began to sing the theme of samurai from Seven Samurai at the top of his voice."

Been a while. I meant to do at least one a day this year. But it’s been a hell of year so far.
This would be a great stand-alone website
Terrible people. Really great illustrations!
I love this series so much. Thank you for subjecting yourself to such idiocy because this is art.
I don't think I know who they are and in this case I'm fine with that lack of knowledge.
@artwells - maybe. I have done over 300 of them.
@dad - some of them are niche famous but I try not to do recognizable celebrity types.
@BennyTheIcepick - thank you muchly.

A single-panel comic of a man sitting in a chair reading a newspaper. He looks over his shoulder at a woman, who is standing at a window, holding open the curtains. She says "I see the Renegade Master's back once again with the ill behavior". This is a reference to the lyrics of the all-time great acid-house banger "Renegade Master" by the artist WildChild released in 1995. This song samples 1994's "One for the Trouble" by the hip-hop artist Eddy Castellanos Sr. aka A.D.O.R. from his unreleased album "The Concrete."
It made me laugh out loud; doesn't happen often.

Illustration art by Edmund Emshwiller shows a brunette in foreground looking concerned while behind her a man lays dying. All against a red background.
I wonder which of his neighbours modelled for this?
