This MAD Magazine parody (which updates a 1958 Norman Rockwell painting) keeps getting more pertinent every day. Written by Desmond Devlin with art by Richard Williams.
This Norman Rockwell parody appeared in MAD Magazine issue 531 and was published in February 2015. The original 1958 Rockwell painting depicted a friendly police officer sitting down with a young boy who was attempting to run away. It was clear that the officer would soon help the boy safely return home. The updated parody from MAD depicted a heavily armed police officer with a helmet, gas mask, camouflage, and snipper riffle. The boy seems scared, which is appropriate since the purpose of a militarized police force is to instill fear.

My double-knit hot water bottle cover is finished and I'm pleased. Farewell to the hideous safety yellow polyester fleece that came with the bottle. Worked without a pattern in "Compass" from Laine des îles (50/50 Bluefaced Leicester/Polwarth), so smooth and comforting...

I also think the closure of liberal arts schools and the constant attacks on wide-ranging humanist educations are part of a push against the masses being taught critical thinking. Which sounds conspiratorial, but come on, this is getting real blatant.

This era is strange because it is both socially/culturally regressive, yet technologically accelerationist. Backward + forward at the same time. With human erasure being the goal. I think those interested in cultural preservation, archival work— resisting erasure will be *especially* important.

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago. They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.

A gallery of awesome retro Swedish packaging I want all these designers put in charge of all products everywhere Item #4 in my "Linkfest" here: buttondown.com/clivethompso...
Three pictures of products. One is a cylinder with bright bright chunky blue letters spelling “FOOM”. The second is a margarine canister decorated with pop art red flowers that have small green leaves. The third is a flat cylindrical canister of the sort you would find containing candies or a cake; it is decorated with a pin wheeled pattern and the product name is “twist”

The last time I picked up this many followers, it was in 2019, when a thread abt turning on my old Apple IIe and having it load a game and a 1980s letter from my dad went globally viral. Which I say bc I hope the current surge--of refugees from a Nazified place--will bring that whimsy back too.

Man Turns on 30-Yr-Old Apple IIe and Finds Letter From Late Dad
John Pfaff found his childhood computer and promptly plugged it in to play old Apple games. Then he found a letter from his dad, a year after he passed.

A moss speckled tree branch lies above a forest floor of fallen oak leaves, several large colonies of white Splitgill mushroom grow toward the camera, their swirling gills creating flowing patterns on varied scales. Photo taken by me December 2023

I've been making these felt cats and little scenes to put them in this year. Mostly been posting it on my Instagram (hockenbear). Trying to do more on here but still getting back into posting. I quit Twitter quite awhile ago cause I hated it so trying to dip back into something like it is weird.

Hey during the Bush years, when empathy was at an all time low and I had no hope. Hate was so normalized What kept me going were the people I met online. They taught me love, community, and acceptance. They taught me I wasnt alone. Be there for those in need, okay? Help them thru the dark place.

Watching the three Lord of the Rings films today. When all hope seems lost and darkness is triumphant, a small group of apparently powerless but determined people fight back and win, because they refuse to give up. Just seemed like something I wanted to watch, for some reason…

Some things to do right now: - delete your period trackers - update your vaccines and IUDs - find support groups and local organizations - talk about your healthcare concerns with your providers - stockpile plan B (shelf life of 4 years)
