A two panel screenshot from an episode of the Wire. Walon (Steve Earle) leans into the guy standing next to him and says:
1st panel: "Bubs, I've only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me"
2nd: "Four tops"

#RIP
This photo was a week ago, on Thanksgiving.
My Uncle Steve passed away this morning with Susan by his side after several years of miraculous recoveries from ailments large and small. Cancer being the main one.
4 times iirc.
We all just expected he'd live forever.
He was among the kindest and most generous people you could hope to meet. He treated my aunt and her extended family as if they were his own and from the moment we met him accepted him as one of us.
He was one of the funniest people you could ever hope to encounter.
May his memory be a blessing.
From front to back; my sister, her eldest, Uncle Steve and Aunt Susan. Susan is my mother's sister, the only surviving member of my mothers family.

@dreyfusslugado Tim is a guest star. The project is me and Angus, with a rotating cast of guests.
Tim's just happy to play his Vibraphone 😊

The image is from a Thomas the Tank Engine picture book. A mechanic is putting a new smokestack on Thomas with a crane. Thomas looks up with an expression that can be read as surprise or wonder. Underneath the image is the following text: Thomas didn't enjoy his time at the Works. "It's nice to feel mended again," he said afterwards, "but they took so many of my old parts away and put new ones in, that I'm not sure whether I'm really me or another engine."
Yes son, this was your grandfather's axe. The handle has been replaced three times, and the head twice, but it's still your grandfather's axe.

Four fake posters for real movies based on four real posters for other movies:
Kansas City Confidential as Atlantis: The Lost City (yeah, that was a deep cut)
The Devil's Needle as You've Got Mail
Train Dreams as Die My Love
Sentimental Value as The Graduate

The Devil's Needle as You've Got Mail
Train Dreams as Die My Love
Sentimental Value as The Graduate
Fake posters for four movies I watched based on real posters for other movies. More at https://ga2so.com/blog, or on the fediverse at @ga2so_2wba65@www.ga2so.com . I'm currently seven posters behind.
Original posters listed in the alt tag.
Kansas City Confidential: A great little thriller.
The Devil's Needle: The most interesting part was the degradation of the film stock.
Train Dreams: Like a Terrence Malick film, except that I actually liked it. Stayed in my head for days.
Sentimental Value: Strong performances, but it didn't really resonate with me.

Train Dreams was one of those movies you watch and go "huh...that was an OK movie." And then it hits you a little later "wait...I think that was a really great movie..."
I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't already to read Train Dreams! It's my tied-for-1st favorite Denis Johnson book and it's such a stupendous but quiet novel. They must have done something right for the film (which I'm not going to see) because similarly it takes space and time for one to realize how good it is.

2 people can be seen in a night scene with the Andromeda galaxy, many stars and a blush of red and blue tint in the sky
'The Andromeda Galaxy at 2.5 million light years away is the most distant object easily seen with your unaided eye. Given its distance, light from Andromeda is likely also the oldest light that you can see.'

I lived in a place that had outlets on the ceiling once. People would almost get mad, when they visited, demanding to know why. I don't know, I'd say. I rent the place, I didn't wire it. Eventually I found out that someone used to run a sewing business there, and the outlets were above what had been a table for sewing machines.
They’re also handy if you want to have a light above the kitchen table, but don’t want to hardwire it permanently!

Love love love that she gets listed along side Daft Punk and Nine Inch Nails as iconic composers of Tron movie scores.
