A red text-based public artwork by Frank Riot displayed in a JCDecaux advertising panel outside Holborn Station in London, UK. The poster reads: "When you've got rid of all the mosques but the costs of life still rise and you'e built your fortressed borders but the NHS still dies and the Muslims are all gone and your town's a wall of white but corporate vultures are still pillaging every facet of our lives who will you blame then? What will you have gained? A badge for barbarism against a backdrop of decay." Pedestrians walk past the bus shelter on a busy city street.
Oh, there will be no lack of scapegoats.

square phone pic: a closeup of a light blue shirt and royal blue hoodie, folded so their logos are adjacent. the light blue shirt has the cursive MLKSHK logo, and the royal blue has the MLTSHP deelux logo.
happy anniversary, you weirdos!
on this day in 2017, we went live thanks to the time and energy of so many wonderful people.
nine insane-assed years later, MLTSHP is still a source of daily joy, support, and discovery for me. i have art, music, and goodies from MLTSHPers all over my home. i’ve shared meals and adventures with many of y’all; i’ve commiserated and goofed with even more of y’all. here’s to many more.
(BTW, i happened to wear my lovely ol’ MLKSHK shirt to the farmers market this morning. tried to get a selfie in it for my celebratory post, but i was not lookin’ particularly sassy. instead you get an even older MLKSHK shirt and said beloved hoodie sans me. the hoodie and a bunch of other great stuff designed by heyitsal is still up in the webstore:

an e-ink display at a supermarket donut display, showing NaN (not a number) in large letters. in the bottom corner in smaller text, it reads "NaN per LB"
local supermarket chain likes to use these e-ink price tags, which occasionally leads to pure magic.
Priceless
NaN is the price on the contract that Satan hands you with a brimstoney flourish

Kinda wish I'd had something like this when I was younger.
Too many years of taking the bus and having my Walkman (remember those?) cranked up to high volume to overcome the roar of the bus engine.
There was one bus driver who told me not to listen to music on the bus, but I think it was because he was an asshole, not out of any concern for my ears. Like, somehow he could hear the sound from my headphones over the sound of the bus.
Nowadays, everything I hear us underscored by a tinnitus "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". :(

@dreyfusslugado same, but i think mine is more a mix of live rock shows and not enough ear protection around power tools
Reminds me tangentially of a thing I saw recently about a kid who always complained that the hand dryers in bathrooms hurt her ears. She eventually went in and measured the decibels in a whole bunch of bathrooms and discovered that they were, in fact, dangerously loud. Silly kids these days, valuing their health and safety! 😂

They say it's not AI. I hope that's true
I have a Daniel Merriam book from 2010 and AI was not doing that back then. I love his fantasy Victorian/Art Nouveau architecture the most, but the bug eyed critters are pretty amazing, too.
@bitslayer Good to hear. Looks amazing

tet an cartoons from a diner paper placemat:
"UH Oh! The crossing guard is telling a story from their youth! Circle an old-timey artifact to distract them with!
two small round confused creatures are at left, while an arm with crossing guard sign extends from the right with speech bubble "... I remember when the Internet was invented ..."
There are drawings of a CD-ROM, a 5¼" floppy disk, a flip phone, a VHS tape and a disposable camera.

Real placemat from IHOP intended as marketing ragebait, with what's almost certainly AI generated art. They have another one teaching the youth of today how to draw the Cool S. "Fun fact: The S Thing was really popular in the 1900s!"
Pretty funny
I very much like this. But shouldn't it be Lollypop?

More than 350 years after his death, Galileo’s middle finger is displayed at the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy.
Since the Catholic Church put him under arrest for the last nine years of his life—for stating the earth orbits the sun—it’s fitting his middle finger is on display.

Serious question: it makes sense as a quip *now*, though 350 years ago what was the significance of the middle finger?
@hertz Galileo wanted to be buried in the same basilica as his father, but because of his Heliocentrism, the Catholic Church thought people would be scandalized, so instead, they buried him in a heretic grave. About a century later, they DID move his remains to the basilica, and a few people attending that transfer were interested in matters of science, and took pieces of his remains as “relics.” it wasn’t just his middle finger… His index finger and thumb were lopped off, too (among other bits). The person who took his fingers said at one pint that it was because such wonderful things had been written with them. Eventually the various parts were given/sold to others, so this lone digit ended up apart from the others. Flipping the bird is a convenient application of modern cultural significance. Fitting!

in this Perry Rhodan nr. 1010 'Der Computermensch' cover illustration by Johnny Bruck, a man who to me looks an awful lot like Robert de Niro in 'The Deer Hunter' is strapped to a machine that resembles the memory implant device from the 1990 film 'Total Recall.'

A scene that looks like a clumsily assembled stage set. Two-dimensional colored stars hang from strings against a blue-purple canvas. The canvas has several visible patches. The stage is a curved yellow-green surface that resembles a hill, with visible seams and a round hatchway in the middle from which a brown ladder is protruding. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Excellent art. Three stars!

Pic of a very good boy.
Sam wouldn't eat any dinner, which is not normal and would not go out for a last wee before I went to bed.
He had been whining at me a bit more than usual but I could not find a way to make him happy.
He is getting on and we are naive regarding pets aging. I really thought he was going to pass away over night.
Mrs roonie is away and I had to contemplate telling her over the phone what had happened.
I had to brace myself this morning when I woke up. It was so quiet.
When I found He was not only alive but seemingly quite happy, I cried.

Aging pets are hard, all you can do is pay attention and keep them as happy and comfortable as you can.
@wjcstp We've had like thousands of aging pets. And until these two, every single one of the MFers have died on us!!!

World map showing human migration from Africa, starting at 200K years ago and finishing about 10K years, with colours used to show approximately 15 K year segments
Except for the pretty well evidenced 30k year old human settlement in Brazil!
Shame nobody ever migrated to the British isles. I hear they were nice back then.

A very tired looking woman holds up a copy of the book Infinite Jeffs. It has a cover like The Infinite Jest only all the words on it are "Jeff"
I had to explain to the woman at the post office what The Infinite Jest was and why I was laughing so hard.

Powderhorn Park

A photograph from the southeast part of Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis. The foreground is all green grass. The middleground features two trees on either side of the frame. The background has many more smaller trees and a bit of the lake showing through them.
Its been a very weird time and I've been in a funk the last couple months processing the trauma of the ice surge here, the state of our country, the ever-closer end of my current job, the need to find a new one and some personal stuff.
But this morning, sitting in the park, things felt good and I liked it so I took a picture.

. . . and that’s about all we can ask for. big hugs to you, friendo
It's a beautiful day to walk in the park and see the good bits among the mess.
Link the good moments, hold onto that chain of events. ♡♡♡
