the home of steamed puds

Photo of a food package on a store shelf. The product is "Aunty's Delicious Spotted Dick". Below the brand name is "Sultana & raisin / Steamed Puds / microwave 30 seconds". Above the brand name is "The Home of Steamed Puds". There is a photo of a spotted dick on a fine china dish, partially dug into with a silver spoon. It looks like a soggy raisin muffin.

I can tell you from experience that steaming will not get the spots out. See a doctor.

Page from a comic book, showing the heads and torsos of brunette woman and Captain America; they look shocked and appalled.
WOMAN: I— I see see something—! —But I can't tell what it is!! The light is so dim! Yet I know it is there! It moves in some strange manner—in halting steps—like a man—learning to walk!
CAP: We'll soon find out what that thing is... Stand back! I— It's moving towards us!

a wet river otter is standing on four paws on a wet, rocky outcropping. It is looking to the left, and with its foreground forepaw, it is holding a small, silvery blue fish up against the side of its head as if holding a telephone.

Diamond Head dead volcano in Hawaii
ANY GUESSES ON WHAT THOSE WHITE THINGS ON THE COASTAL SIDE ARE?
@shitleopard from google earth's 3d representation, they look like helicopter landing or homes built into the cliffside.
@shitleopard old WWII pillboxes/batteries - Diamond Head is chock full of WWII era+ military structures, including a tunnel and a fire control station, with some still in use today

four panel comic of Nancy.
first panel shows Nancy with her typically spiky hair and bow, a sweater and black pants and Fritzi, a tall woman with long curly black hair, a tank top, black pants and wearing an upper arm band. They are walking in front of a brick wall that has a movie poster that shows a woman in a polka dot dress dancing with a man with black pants and white shirt. Nancy says "what a movie!"
panel two - close up on Fritzi. she holds one hand up and says "Eh, I liked the book more."
panel three - the two are walking under a streetlight, Fritzi is looking down at Nancy. Nancy says "Really? Why?"
panel four: close up on Fritzi saying "Guess I just pictured the characters differently." the image behind her shows an imagination bubble with the image of the movie poster, but instead of a man dancing with the woman, a woman looking a lot like Fritzi, wearing a black crop top is dancing with the woman in the polka-dot dress.

I can only imagine the purists are handling this well and normal and calmly.

this site is amazing: https://walkman.land/
Excellent.
I had a bunch of these over the years through the 90's. My favorite was probably the Panasonic that recorded. I recorded a bunch of stuff from the radio that I still occasionally listen to with that, as well as a couple of concerts. I didn't find it on the site, but its probably still at my parents house.
Eventually I ended up with a high-end Sony (WM-EX677?) on closeout right around the time I was the only one who still cared about tapes. It was super tiny, had full-logic controls and Dolby B, but also had some weird slim rechargeable battery that didn't last long. It could use a AA in a sidecar setup, but it looked super clunky.

Black Lake Records

Black and white picture of a seated couple
Anais Munro and Filipe Romero started Black Lake Records in the Spring of 1962 out of the back of their 59 Chevy Apache while travelling along highway 101. Using connections in student papers in University of California and other colleges during their separate and chaotic attempts to be students, they recruited student artists, recording them performing in National Parks, campus auditoriums, and bus stations heading North. They edited and pressed compilation albums in Seattle, where they were stranded cashless for some time each attempt, and then sold the albums on their trips South. Their three trips helped document and promote a new sound of the West Coast that powered both folk and funk movements that followed and stand as a model for current musicologists and anthropologists.
Just kidding. That's not their names or lives. These are my parents before my birth. They were Mormons.

scrap mural
alt text
This is one of my favorite "scrap murals" (I'm not sure what to call these surfaces that are made up of partially removed posters on a weathered base, but I love them). It's on the L1 platform toward Hospital at the Unversitat station in Barcelona.
Maybe "décollage" is the term, though to be accurately applied it may require the art be intentional rather than accidental or discovered. More: https://www.tate.org.uk/art... and https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-...
Perhaps only specific to certain artists, but also known as "affiches lacérées," such as here https://www.maxhetzler.com/exhibiti... and here https://www.galerie-vallois.com/edition...
Also sometimes called "urban palimpsest," though art so described is far more intentional, at least according to what I am seeing: https://kagi.com/images... (and, ugh, just realized that the word "intentional" is now skunked by AI overuse).

Gonna have to start using "purposely" or "purposefully" instead of "intentional."

Braided Painting, Ukraine
alt text
This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture. Looks like a marsh with stream and island, with buttery light from a low sun.

My Cursed Objects for Adventureland Day 2026 (1/5)
Ever since seeing these I’ve been wanting to try your casting method. I’m intimidated by all the equipment needed - especially given my own lack of skill - but I shouldn’t let that stop me.
I should at least get a block of wax and just play around with sculpting without the commitment to cast anything.

@BennyTheIcepick - don't be intimidated, it’s not that crazy.
I mean, I did a million steps on these, which was crazy, but the process isn’t too bad. I’m intending to do a write up on it all, but I use Sculpey, molding silicone, resin and metal powder. I sand ‘em and patina them - (with the bronze powder I like the results I got from Modern Masters Blue metal aging solution best, but honestly vinegar and salt might have worked if I had more time to let it set up) then sand and polish the bits I want shiny again. It’s a ton of work if you are trying to get 100 done in a week while trying to do a full time job and take care of your mum, but if you aren’t insane or a terrible procrastinator, it’s kinda fun.

A small red moon above a low bank of clouds and Victorian houses in San Francisco
Total lunar eclipse around 3:22 this morning, SF
we are so so small
I had to drive my wife to the airport very early this morning, and we noted how cool the thumbnail moon looked. We did not know it was a lunar eclipse. Later, tonight, she was on a walk in Florida and noticed the moon was suddenly full(!) After lots of puzzles texts and googling, we figured out the eclipse thing. Such a cool accidental observation :)
here we go again with the fuckin bokoblins.
