Spirals appear in his eyes and he sweats profusely. We zoom in on his face in an extreme closeup as the intensity of his terror increases.

Deer Spirit. Edo Period, Japan. 1615-1868.
Standing atop a swirling, golden cloud formation against a vast expanse of deep indigo, a sacred white stag turns its head in quiet, alert grace. Adorned with a ceremonial harness and an ornate saddle (kura) fitted with delicate brass bells, the stag bears upon its back a branching sacred tree (sakaki). Rising above the foliage is a luminous, oversized golden disk representing the sacred mirror, fringed by fluttering white paper streamers (shide) and cascading clusters of wisteria. In the upper register, the dark, forested ridge of sacred Mount Mikasa rises beneath a deep sky holding a glowing celestial orb, its forested slopes cradling partially hidden shrine roofs and white blossom clusters. The high-contrast harmony between the brilliant gold leaf (kinhaku), the pristine white coat of the messenger, and the light-absorbing indigo field creates a striking visual hymn to divine epiphany.
Executed during the Edo period (1615–1868), this painting belongs to the venerated genre of Kasuga Shika Mandara (Kasuga Deer Mandala), a devotional art form born from the syncretic fusion of Shinto and Buddhist beliefs (shinbutsu shūgō). Centered on the Kasuga Grand Shrine in Nara, these mandalas honor the divine messenger (shinroku) of the deity Takemikazuchi no Mikoto, who according to legend traveled to Nara riding upon the back of a sacred white deer. The gold disk surmounting the sakaki branch symbolizes the manifestation deities of Kasuga (Kasuga Daimyōjin), operating under the honji suijaku doctrine wherein Shinto kami are understood as local avatars of universal Buddhas. The cascading wisteria directly honors the ancestral tutelary deity of the powerful Fujiwara clan. The delicate mineral pigments, gold foil gilding, and precise line-work exhibit the high achievement of Edo religious monozukuri (artisanal mastery in sacred painting), designed to serve as a portable focus for private worship and contemplation.

A 1970s poster: Milton Keynes is a great place to put down roots. The main image is of a mother, father and two children standing awkwardly in the garden of a red brick new build house. It's somewhere between nostalgic, melancholy and spooky.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Y'all remember that ghost hidden in the 1987 movie 3 Men & A Baby? The one that was supposed to be the spirit of a 13 year old boy who shot himself in the apartment the movie was filmed in? Yep, here he is, and it's nothing more than a cardboard cut out of Ted Danson. Thank the gods. #SpookySunday
