SQUID HAT WATCH: 2014 -> 2026
alt text
two photos of the same person wearing a handmade squid hat, with a wide droopy hood body and long dangly tentacles, two of end in little mittens that can be worn. the (mostly Caucasian, droopy-eyed, male-presenting) person in both photos is doing the same goofy smile, albeit one far more sober than the other. the older photo on the left shows this person younger, wearing a sweater and collared shirt, with a pair of tortoise-shell glasses. the newer photo on the right shows this person in a mint green t-shirt and windsor wire frame glasses.
as promised, back in action.
cristin mentioned her magnificient squid hat in chat the other day, and i had coincidentally just unearthed it whilst rummaging through storage tubs.
2014 me, 2026 me, from whiskey-chuggin’ illuminati-devil library ghoul to adventure-dad-attire crunchy-granola nutter.

FPGE throwback: viking hat, holland pipe
alt text
closeup of a pasty-assed nerd motherfucker in glasses, clutching an enamel pipe in his mouth, which has the word "holland" painted on the side. he is wearing a handmade stocking cap with viking horns
going through old photos from an imported iphoto library and... whoa, hey, photos from the 2014 FP gift exchange.
one of the coolest years in the exchange for me; @cristin made me a viking hat AND a squid hat... and then sent books, a pipe, a bunch of other goodies! best of the best, that one there.
i pulled the squid hat out of a storage bin the other day, so i'll take a pic in it when i am settled in at home tonight. (EDIT: https://mltshp.com/p/1ROKH)

The image shows a bat sitting in an oversized office chair with a potted plant to the left and two charts on the walls behind it. There are papers and folders on the desk in front of the bat.

A shiny chrome bicycle stands alone on its kickstand before a vibrantly green rice paddy with sharp limestone ridges in the background framing a cloudy gray sky
The seat was way too low, the brakes sketchy, and the worn pedals slick as duck shit. My knees are angry at me.
Also, the ride through Trang An was glorious, transformative, and humbling, and I would do it all again on a child’s tricycle or my actual bare knees in a heartbeat.

Ada Limón
I thought it was the neighbor’s cat back
to clean the clock of the fledgling robins low
in their nest stuck in the dense hedge by the house
but what came was much stranger, a liquidity
moving all muscle and bristle. A groundhog
slippery and waddle thieving my tomatoes still
green in the morning’s shade. I watched her
munch and stand on her haunches taking such
pleasure in the watery bites. Why am I not allowed
delight? A stranger writes to request my thoughts
on suffering. Barbed wire pulled out of the mouth,
as if demanding that I kneel to the trap of coiled
spikes used in warfare and fencing. Instead,
I watch the groundhog closer and a sound escapes
me, a small spasm of joy I did not imagine
when I woke. She is a funny creature and earnest,
and she is doing what she can to survive.

Limón is a national poet laureate and her stuff is really well done. If I recall this is from her collection “The Hurting Kind” which has some extraordinary verse (though admittedly I didn’t care for every poem).
I’m not a poetry aficionado but I read it as part of a book club and greatly enjoyed it.

Vertical panorama of a verdant valley floor surrounded by dark limestone ridges fringed with greenery. A canal snakes through the valley. The photographer’s face is seen at the top framed by his glasses and peaked beige cap, and his feet and legs are at the bottom of the photo.
Kaaaaaaaarst!
What a beautiful place, I'm jealously happy for you
Good lord that is stunning. Landscape, too.

Conversation pit in São Paulo

Gray carpeted conversation pit with black leather cushions and stacks of books and vinyl around a record player. DELICIOUSNESS.
"oh, please don't touch the coffee table books; those are load-bearing books"
all it needs now is an 8-track player with "the best of bread"
I wonder how many times that turntable was accidentally kicked by someone stretching their legs at the sofa.

How to sell a laminator
alt text
Advert for a laminator. A presenting female is sat on the floor behind the laminator with her arms reaching into the back of the machine. At the front it appears that her hands are emerging from the machine and currently being laminated.
It’s hard to tell now. OpenAI released a new image generator that’s incredibly good at hands, continuity, text. So it’s about the get a lot worse.
I’m pretty sure that it is based upon how stretched the distal areas of the radial and ulnar regions are. We should be able to see metacarpals before the laminator.
The more I look at it the more the legs seem off. Also the radiator back left seems to have odd foreshortening on it, and the plug cable seems too contrived.
Other than that this would be a very good idea to make in an analog way.

4th Columbo!
alt text
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..."

Meme from Muppet Christmas Carol where scrooge asks the boy what day it is.
first panel shows michael caine as scrooge, dressed in nightclothes and wearing a sleeping cap leaning out a window with one finger raised. the caption reads "You there, boy! What day is it?"
second panel shows a wider shot from below, showing more of the building and window of a stone building with snow on a ledge. it is clearly snowing. there is the back of a rabbit visible looking up at michael caine. the caption reads "It's anniversary of Richard Nixon's death, sir!"
third panel shows a close up on Michael Caine, he is smiling, showing a gold tooth, as it continues to snow. the caption reads "Then I haven't missed it."

our overnight cruise was shortened to a day trip. The Ha Long Bay nautical authorities - with potential typhoon conditions forming - didn’t want a repeat of last July’s 32-fatality capsizing of a tourist boat in a full typhoon, and shut down all overnight traffic.
Weather both days this week turned out to be languid and calm, and so was the truncated cruise.
