Friendship ended with friends; Niv Mizzet is my new best friend now

A hand holding a sleeved Magic: The Gathering card, the borderless anime-style Niv-Mizzet, Parun from Ravnica Remastered, art by Yukihiro Maruo. A crimson dragon with a spiky blue-and-purple frill and spread wings, wreathed in white-blue lightning. Mana cost: three blue, three red. Legendary Creature — Dragon Wizard, 5/5. Text: This spell can't be countered. Flying. Whenever you draw a card, Niv-Mizzet, Parun deals 1 damage to any target. Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell, you draw a card. Kitchen blurred in the background.

RIP Dolly Parton 💔 What an incredible life. A force of nature has moved on; how grateful we are to have shared some time on this pale blue dot with someone as brave and kind as Dolly Parton. Thank you, Dolly. You can take off the rhinestones and get some much deserved rest now. #pancakeart

Here I am making a pancake of someone’s dog

Doctor Dan the Pancake Man bent over his griddle in concentration, squeeze bottle in hand, building a colorful pancake portrait. He wears a green button-down patterned with luna moths and orange poppies. A tablet displays the reference photo beside him; squeeze bottles and tools line the workstation

A finished pancake portrait of a basset hound on a white plate, held above the griddle. The dog’s long brown ears, soulful eyes, and black nose are rendered in layered batter against a teal background with a black-and-white checkered border. A tattooed forearm holds the plate.

Beltane wedding trip successful, I adore my wife and my friends

A woman with long black box braids and round tortoiseshell glasses smiles softly while adjusting her glasses with one hand. She wears a vivid red flower crown with deer antlers rising from it, layered gold necklaces, and a flowing blue and orange top. Sunlit forest blurs behind her.

A selfie of a couple outdoors among tall evergreens with a glimpse of water behind them. The woman on the left wears the red flower-and-antler crown, round tortoiseshell glasses, and a blue ruffled top, grinning broadly. The man on the right has a shaved head, mustache and short beard, a thin gold circlet across his brow, and a deep purple button-down shirt printed with mushrooms and wildflowers.

Wella and I will be in south Texas next weekend. If you’re in the valley, come get some pancake art from us!

A detailed pancake art portrait of Jim Carrey’s Grinch sits on a decorated griddle beside hand-piped pancake lettering announcing an event: “First Friday Downtown Brownsville, Texas presents: A Grinch Christmas — Tree Lighting Ceremony — December 5, 2025 @ Market Square — Come see us!” The scene is photographed from above on a worktable.

Good to know I'm exactly as equipped to deal with the future as the goddamn government

A social media post by user "vfxgordon" discussing a tariff list organized by top-level internet domains rather than countries. The post humorously notes that this causes oddities like penguin-inhabited islands (.hm), the Diego Garcia military base (.io), Reunion (.re), and Gibraltar (.gi) being listed separately from their governing nations. The user claims this was likely generated by a large language model (LLM) and criticizes the oversight with a sarcastic tone.

Ghiblify? More like, ghibli-fried. Porco Rosso pancake art. I'd rather be a pig than a fascist. Made live at Eat Crow in St. Louis, MO.

Pancake art of Porco Rosso, the pig-faced pilot from the Studio Ghibli film of the same name. He wears aviator goggles, a green helmet, a white scarf, and a brown flight jacket, striking a confident pose with a blue sky behind him. The pancake is bordered with a red and white striped frame. Above the pancake, text reads: "Free Pancake Art, Saturdays @ Eat Crow! Tips Appreciated!" Below, a quote from the film says: “I’d rather be a pig than a fascist.” The pancake is displayed on a black griddle decorated with colorful trim.

Essentially: ChatGPT 4o was just updated with much more powerful image generation abilities, and overnight a meme emerged where people turned their personal photos Ghibli style. In short order the White House tweeted this image, which turns my stomach for a myriad of layered reasons

A screenshot of an official tweet from the White House showing an image of a frowning white man in a camo hat escorting a sobbing Latina woman in handcuffs in front of an American flag, converted into a cute Studio Ghibli illustration style using ChatGPT 4o / Dall-E.

Since Miyazaki’s work with Ghibli is being bastardized by the US government, here’s a pancake I painstakingly made of his face using actual human hands

Pancake art portrait of Hayao Miyazaki, featuring intricate shading and color detail. He is depicted with white hair, a matching beard, black-rimmed glasses, and a warm smile. The pancake is shaped to match the contours of his head and shoulders, displayed on a black griddle.

Ladies and gentlemen, the brother in law

Screenshot of a humorous text conversation joking about Peter Thiel. The sender realizes they didn’t have the recipient’s number saved, and the recipient jokes they’re texting from Peter Thiel’s phone. The sender humorously asks for Thiel’s CashApp, and the recipient claims they’re now his “minion,” adding that Thiel provided a sleeping pod that prevents aging and intelligence gain.

And if you’re from St. Louis, MO, come check us out on the weekends. We do pancake art for the general public for free every Saturday morning at Eat Crow in Soulard for their Heavy Metal Brunch, 11a to 2p.

A pancake art rendition of Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer rests on a custom griddle with a laser-etched grid. The pancake captures the iconic portrait with remarkable detail, using layers of batter in shades of blue, yellow, brown, and beige to recreate the subject’s gaze, headscarf, and luminous pearl earring. The background is a deep black, contrasting with the vibrant tones of the figure. The texture of the pancake is visible, with slight cracks and air bubbles adding to its handcrafted nature. The image is a screenshot from a social media platform, with interface icons visible at the bottom.

You are looking at the most beautiful griddle on the face of the earth and you can’t convince me otherwise. Specially engineered for pancake art designs and customized by @wella.bsky.social and I with a grid system, custom paint and sticker decoration. It’s a work of art. You saw it here first.

A pancake art griddle sits on a wooden table, customized with a laser-etched grid overlaying its black surface. The grid is marked with x- and y-axis labels—letters along the horizontal edge and numbers along the vertical—creating a precise coordinate system. The griddle’s frame has been painted a vibrant yellow and is adorned with what appears to be hundreds of tiny puffy stickers featuring an array of adorable characters, including animals, food items with faces, and whimsical designs. The background reveals a crafting workspace with a green cutting mat, beaded keychains, a glass jar with paintbrushes, and resin art pieces embedded with intricate pancake designs. A person wearing a striped sweater with red embroidered details is partially visible in the upper left corner. The scene exudes a playful, handcrafted aesthetic, blending precision with charm.

@mishellbaker.bsky.social hey I’m a week late but I made you this! Pancake art of The Unreliable taking flight!!

A hand holds a decorated pancake featuring an intricate, edible illustration of a scene from the video game The Outer Worlds. The artwork on the pancake depicts the spaceship Unreliable flying through space, surrounded by planets and stars, with the caption “Against All Odds, The Unreliable Takes Flight” written at the bottom. The pancake is placed on a white paper plate. In the background, a phone screen displays the reference image for the artwork, along with various art supplies and tools on a striped tablecloth.

Let’s build a better carnival Posted by u/blockchainsocialist on r/cryptoleftists

A Reddit post from the ‘cryptoleftists’ community features a screenshot from Hacker News. The post includes a comment by user ‘notacoward’ from November 9, 2017, discussing entrepreneurship using a carnival game analogy. The comment explains that middle-class kids can afford one throw, with most missing, some winning small prizes, and very few hitting the bullseye. Rich kids can afford many throws, allowing them to keep trying until they succeed, then attributing their success to hard work and meritocracy. Meanwhile, poor kids are not playing the game; they are the ones working at the carnival.

It really do be like that sometimes

A light blue background features a rollercoaster track illustrating the emotional ups and downs of the creative process. Small black stick figures ride red rollercoaster cars, each labeled with different emotional states. The first peak has a figure raising its arms, saying ‘This is awesome!’ As the car descends, the next label reads ‘This is tricky!’ Further down, it says ‘This is shit!’ At the lowest point, the figure slumps over, saying ‘I am shit!’ As the rollercoaster ascends again, the next label reads ‘This might be ok.’ Finally, at the new peak, the figure raises its arms once more, exclaiming ‘This is awesome!’ The image is credited to Thomas Gläser, Delightex (2015).

First comment says “it was an overreach of power, let the states decide, most states have laws in affect that governs abortions already” (username censored), with -75 downvotes. Response says “States getting to decide is an overreach of power, let’s go a step further and let cities and counties decide. Or fuck it, however about the individual household or family gets to choose. Or maybe, just maybe, the woman gets to decide what to to with her body” with 114 upvotes.

I do text all the time, it’s tricky but I take pride in it!

A screenshot of a pancake sitting on a black griddle. The griddle has a grid etched into it, and the pancake has been illustrated using colored pancake batters. It showcases an absurd meme with the distinctive architecture of a brutalist KFC (Kentucky fried chicken) and in the style of image macro memes the text “what if we kissed at the brutalist KFC” has been rendered in the foreground. The pancake showcases a firm representation of concrete, strong angles, and the greenish ochre of water damage over many years.

I believe I am one of the most skilled pancake artists on the planet. I am pretty sure I was the very first professional ones, and most of the other good ones I directly taught.

This image is a still from a video in which a pancake sits on a peculiar black-top griddle. The griddle has a grid etched into it, and the pancake is square, and colorful; the pancake itself has been illustrated with colored pancake batter to look almost exactly like Hokusai’s famous “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa” block print.

I’m grateful for the friends who brave the St. Louis winter to hang out and game with me. A few rounds of Mercenarium and we’ve got a mtg commander game waiting in the wings. The tables were decorated in collage by Carrie at the Crack Fox. We’re here every Monday!

An overhead shot of a 2 player game of a card game called Mercenarium. It involves a 5 x 5 grid board and strategic thinking, and feels like a parlor game. They’re playing in a dark room of a bar.
