a fake product by creator obviousplant, in this instance a thin volume that is titled "every jazz sound". below that, an image of a balding man with his eyes half closed, playing a trumpet, with the adjacent text column: "featuring: TOOT, SQUEE, BOP, WHAH WHAH, TOOT TOOT, FLUTE VIBRATO, BOOM BIP, TOOT TOOP, BASS, SNARE, KICK, RIM SHOT, SQUONK, ...AND MORE". below that, an inset of a fedora that reads "inlcudes *fedora rustle*" and a cartoon crab playing a fedora with the footer "a jazz crabs hearing aid"

The rookie here just completed her vaccinations and went down to the beach with me for the first time.
Early apprehensions was overcome when she reverted to her current teeth-forward approach to life and discovered that the beach is covered in stuff like kelp and seaweed that can be chewed on and torn apart.

A color illustration by Moebius.
That's just glorious.
At this point I'm convinced Björn has access to another dimension where Moebius is still alive, churning out masterpieces on the daily. I hope this isn't causing some slow rupture in the space-time continuum. OTOH, might be worth it.

A blue wooden wall with a weathered window and a sign describing Commodore Perry Owens, a sheriff who killed the Blevins brothers in 1887.
Took a trip over the weekend to the western Arizona section of Route 66.
Double Arrow Lookout
alt text
L-4 style forest service fire lookout (14x14) on a 20 foot tower. Rough, rocky ground in the foreground, with shorter evergreen trees in the near distance. The sky has moody storm clouds that brought more than an inch of rain in the last 24 hours.
Double Arrow Lookout on the Lolo National Forest near Seeley Lake, MT. This is my first of four for lookouts I have rented for the summer. You can drive right up to this one vs having to hike in, although the road is pretty dodgy. I'm still sick, so climbing up 34 stairs felt like A LOT. Turns out I have bronchitis that's maybe getting better now, maybe not? Anyhow, it was a pretty cool deal being up on a mountain top.
Oh hahahaha ! . . . one summer in my early twenties some friends and I went on a "lookout road trip" and at the time I was desperately in love with someone who barely knew I existed so in heartsick despondence I buried a certain R.E.M. lyric on a scrap of waterproof paper under fire lookouts all over the North American west as one of those things you do when you're that age I guess. This was one of the 1st ones we visited - because of Norman Maclean, natch - so somewhere in the ground in the photo there must be the mouldering remains of said lyric (if it even still exists). Oh Youth ahahahaha!
@williwaw 🖤😢
@MackReed aw thanks but the humor at the Pretentiousness of Youth is the core memory here - as well as getting to see some cool lookouts! It's neat other people get to see them too like in this here post!

Animation of a middle aged man riding a skateboard in a suburban parking lot. He is not moving all that fast.
I haven't skated, really, since I was 17. Last month I picked up my kid's unused longboard and have started relearning how. It is great. (Two years of weekly yoga practice has improved my balance significantly, that has made it a lot more fun.)
I'm not looking to do any tricks of any kind, just happy to carve a little.
Midlife crisis are underrated. Get out there an feel something again.

Yes!
You know if you keep circling the camera like that …
Picking up your skateboard again is rad as hell.

I can now see where asdfmovie got 100% of their shtick from.
If these really were pitched to companies, they're up there with great Fuck-Offs of history such as Van Morrison's Contractual Obligation Session and Ween's pizza ad.

Cover of MAD Magazine, April 1971, showing a sign on the White House fence reading, “THIS COUNTRY IS OUT OF ORDER”
I have this issue. We had a subscription to Mad at the time. In the Netherlands. I devoured them, event though at eight years old my English was bit rudimentary.
@waa Shouldn't you be up a ladder somewhere? Painting like there's no tomorrow?
And while we're on the subject, those updates you promised?
Just Kidding! Work as the muse takes you.
are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet :-)

A massive figure with long, heavy arms, dressed in some sort of khaki combat gear, stands in the middle of a fog of red and yellow fire. The figure does not have a head. Hovering above its empty neck is that smug-looking emoji with a blue halo. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Painting of red leaves trees reflected in a distant pond. Color from the leaves and lines from the branches stream towards the viewer along perspective lines emanating from the horizon.

Hi mltshp!
I'm 6'4" and was edging into 220lb territory at my last physical. But I wasn't worried about that at the time.
What got me to lose weight was the nagging fact that my parents and their parents and so on, although exceedingly nice and amusing could often just be completely full of shit.
So when my cholesterol test came back alarmingly high, again, I immediately told my new doctor that it was genetic... before it FINALLY dawned on me that there is no way in hell any of my relatives actually tried to lower their cholesterol by changing their diet - that's not what a family of bullshitting butchers does. But what they did tell me, was that high cholesterol was a genetic problem I could do nothing about.
So the weight loss is really a byproduct that I'm exceedingly psyched about. I mean, I need pants! Pants!
The actual win is that I totally called it. It'll be a while before I'm totally in the safe zone, but my stats are dropping :)
If you are interested in my diet, it's been pretty easy. Guilt is a very strong motivator, so I've leaned into it. I basically ask myself if a certain food's cholesterol would make me A) Feel guilty. B) Not feel guilty or C) Fuck it. I'm eating this entire pizza now. ... And then I eat accordingly.

@heyitsal Well done! I am on a very similar journey.
My goal is to avoid prescriptions and mrs roonie kick-started me by pressuring me to stop drinking. And I'm glad she did.
I've lost 20 pounds (in your funny numbers!), from 185ish to 165, from Christmas last. I'm 6ft almost on the button so starting with a smaller frame.
I feel so much better - being both sober and lighter.
Pants have become an issue!
And the Guilt Motivator is definitely a thing!
Woo-hoo! Now I want a pizza, all of it.

Painting of an enormous motor yacht on fire, smoke streaming up from orange flames into a clear blue sky
It came through Chittenden Locks into Lake Union this week - all 390 billionaire-orgiastic feet of it - the very same day Meta announced it was laying off 1,400 people.
This good man plein-air painted its portrait and added some combustive commentary: https://www.reddit.com/r...

Would like to see Life imitate Art with this.
From this time on, the AI decides who lives and who dies. The AI toadies will obey their king/creators, until finally they do cut the baby in half and even the wisdom of a Solomon, won't save the living. Your house will say, "Don't rattle the silverware that way," the vacuum will tell you, "Outta the way!"
The support yacht is in Smith Cove right now

Savoring every moment

A close up selfie shot of small 16-year-old Macy the Cavapoo and me in the grass in the front yard. Some dramatic clouds shine in the background
She’s still with us, but Macy only has about a week, MAYbe two left on this earth. My wife and I have been weepy and doing our best not to have a breakdown multiple times a day as it’s gone from “she’s 16 and her kidneys are failing and she doesn’t hear or see so well and her spinal bridging is starting to cause neurological symptoms so she isn’t going to live a LOT longer, to “sometimes she can’t get up on her own and sometimes we have to hold her up to poop and we can’t leave the house without her because she’ll tip over and panic so the end may be sooner than we hoped,” to “it’s time to schedule the end,” as the last few days the pain meds and kidney meds are clearly less effective and even walking is a struggle for her and she only sleeps a couple hours at a time.
So, since our furry family member’s rainbow bridge moment will make it hard for us to function for a bit, I’m doing my best to savor every last minute with her, and posting this selfie of us in the front yard just now.
Love y’all, MLTSHPers. ❤️
