iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Morning sketch. I like it, but not sure if I’ll keep working on it. Anyone else interested in jamming on this piece like a collab?

A blue sketch showing an arcade claw machine lifting up a smaller claw machine, which is probably also stuffed with claw machines. The sketch is drawn as if looking from inside the machine, and you can see a man in the other side of the glass operating the controls. The man is Doc Pop, a bearded white guy with glasses and a stressed out look on his face.

@loops @dansup can't figure out why I keep getting an error when trying to upload a short video via the web. It's under the file size, and looks like it's uploaded fine, but I get an error when trying to publish. Happens with every video I try tonight.

An "Upload failed" message on Loops saying it's a 504 error.

A screenshot of the Loops upload page with everything filled out and it looks like the video has been uploaded. It's only 14 megs and under 2 minutes long.

Free claw machine on the corner of Lexington and 19th. Apparently this happened last week too, and that one still had $7 in coins in it. I wonder where they are coming from.

An arcade claw machine left on the sidewalk. No toys in it, but it’s still in good condition with the modern and coin collector inside. The title says “Super Toys”.

Found this flier for the event. The band in the video is [algoslave], and there music is only on Spotify, but Misandrist's music can be found on Bandcamp misandristband.bandcamp.com I just bought their newest album from there.

A flier showing a pencil sketch drawing of a band performing on a sidewalk, but the band members are children's toy figures. The text says:
algoslave, misandrist, and Knights of Molino. Free at 527 Valencia St, 10/16/26 at 7pm.

The kids are alright! We stumbled on this epic rock show a block from our house. A free sidewalk show featuring bands like [algoslave], Misandrist, and Knights of Molino. Cool shit!

Today's choice is banner plane. Though I've seen it multiple times this morning, I never can read the banner. I'm assuming it says "kill all humans" or "crime is legal now".

A single-engine propeller plane pulling a massive white banner. Due to the angle of the photo, it's not possible to read the banner's message. It is an ad for something, probably.

It's a gimmick album and funny as hell, but some of the best metal doesn't take itself too seriously. Netherwild's Peasant Rising is probably gonna be my metal album of the year.

Trump says LLMs should be called “super intelligence” now, and anyone still caught saying AI is “the enemy.” Two days later and Bay Area startups are already rebranding. I just saw five Happy Robot cars with fresh graphics to keep on Trump’s good side.

[Cooked meat] The last bit of the mapo tofu went on some pumpkin-stuffed ravioli and let me tell you, dear reader, it was glorious!

[Cooked meat] Made a delicious mapo tofu dish with a side of family style cucumbers. Both turned out well.

A big bowl filled with wild rice and mapo tofu, beside a cup of tea and a small bowl of cucumbers. The mapo is red colored with ground lamb and large square of tofu, with slices of green onion on top.

Rad to see so many murals and graffiti pieces going up on Mission St today. Especially at 19th and Mission, where an all-women crew is putting up some fresh pieces. Shout out to AP.E for organizing this session. #SFGraffiti

An abandoned building on the corner of 19th and Mission street in San Francisco. It used to be an appliance shop, but is now covered in graffiti and murals. A group of women are currently painting new murals along the sides of the building while spectators watch.

Two women painting graffiti pieces along the wall of an abandoned building on Mission Street. They are painting over some older murals, one of which appears to be a red, white, and blue flag. It's too early to see what the new graffiti pieces and murals will look like.

A view looking down 19th street as 20 young women paint graffiti on the side of an old building. They are each working on their own sections of the building and appear to be painting in a somewhat legal format (as if they have approval from the city to set up and paint here).

A woman painting a graffiti piece along a building on Mission Street. It's a large piece, about ten feet tall and 15 feet wide. She is painting a cartoony image of a woman in a green shirt with purple hair.

@tomjennings that's a rad shot. I'm trying to figure out what's attached to the strap on her bag. A radio?

A sketch of Hudson Freeman done with a correction pen on black cardboard. I've been listening to a ton of his music lately and wanted to spread the word. #HudsonFreeman

A drawing on of a man's face with the words "Hudson" written below in a heavy metal style. The art is white paint on a black cardboard. To the side of the drawing is a Presto Correction Pen and an old iPod mini playing Hudson Freeman's music.

Here's a weird bit of Batman history: Moebius, the legendary French cartoonist, submitted a short Batman comic to DC, who promptly rejected it. Pissed off, Moebius then submitted a twisted parody of his comic to Penthouse Comix, who ran it in 1995. Read […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A drawing by Moebius. It shows a high ledge along the wall of a building. On it, you can see Batman. Batman appears to be sitting on the ledge, drapping himself in his long flowing cape.

If y'all thought this was an unhinged rant about numbers, you should have seen the original version of the video I shot... straight out of the shower where I didn't even take the time to clean up before I hit record. Lucky for y'all, I re-recorded it due to audio issues with the shower version.

Trying Rize Up bakery’s new cafe on Howard st. I love their bread and have been waiting for this cafe to open for almost a year.

A grilled cheese sandwich with a big amount of cheese dripping out.

A view of the cafe from the inside. It’s a small spot, but looks really cool. About 20 seats packed in here. Cool wooden furniture and walls the bend gently into the ceiling. Very ikea vibes.

The front of Rize Up as seen from Howard. It’s painted orange and black with an interesting abstract pattern.

The American Astronaut was incredible! I've never heard of this film before, but I assume it's a cult classic. It really nails the classic sci-fi vibe with a great sense of humor and fantastic music. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_American_…

A still image from The American Astronaut (2001). It's black and white and looks like an old 1930s science fiction movie. One character has on unusual armor with a helm that has wings on his head, sort of evocative of Buck Rogers. The other character is the captain of a small spaceship and has Han Solo vibes.

I met this dude today while I was out on a walk. He complimented my skeleton sweater and I admired his skull bike. His name is Chuckmeleon. “Like chameleon with a Chuck”.

A man in a bright red bicycle that is adorned with plastic skulls. He’s “throwing horns” (fist up with his pointer finger and pointy sticking out). There are many skulls on the bike.

Shoutout to Corey’s Pizza who gave their soft opening tonight in SF from 4-10pm at 17th & Guerrero (next to 500 Club). Corey describes it as a Staten Island style thin crust.

Parody tech ad for screamr.ai spotted in the Mission.

An add for screamr.ai. It says “Last Tuesday a man in Fresno screamed for 4.8 seconds. He is doing better now”. The add is printed on a sheet of paper and taped to a post.

Text from screamr.ai that says “We began with a sound and no plan for it
Four people in a rented room agreed on a single observation: everyone was screaming, constantly, and none of it was being kept. Screams were going into pillows, into parked cars, into stairwells, into the eleven seconds between one meeting ending and the next one starting. They were being produced at enormous personal cost and then allowed to stop existing.”

Chat Pile always have the best dang merch. These "Housing For All Shirts" are part of a fundraising show they are doing in OKC for Sisu Youth Services. chatpile.myshopify.com/products/cha…

Blue art silkscreened on a white long sleeve shirt in a heavy metal style. It shows Baba Yaga's house (a small house with long chicken legs coming from the bottom) walking around. The house is surrounded by eerie abstract art and text on the bottom that says "Housing for all"

Pardon me, DC Comics, I wasn't really familiar with your game! Seeing this heartbreaking panel from Green Lantern #76 really makes me want to diver into this era of DC comics. This issue was published in 1970, with the creative powerhouse of Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams. #GreenLantern

Three panels from Green Lantern number 76. One shows an older black man, dressed in old worn clothes. He asks the Green Lantern "I been reading about you... how you work for the blue skins... and how on a planet someplace you helped out the green skins... and you done considerable for the purple skins! Only there's skins you never bothered with... the black skins! I want to know how come?" to which the Green Lantern looks down at the ground and shamefully says "I can't."

In retrospect, Tom Hardy wasn't exactly subtle with his secret rap persona... Looking at the cover of his 2024 "Knull & Void" and hearing the lines: "I could be a free agent with venom in the flask (At last, take off the mask)"

The cover of the "Knull & Void" single by Czarface, Frankie Pulitzer, and Method Man. The cover features cartoon style are depicting Czarface's character (a supervillian with a red cape and full metal armor) with Venom posed dramatically behind him.

I saw this trick on Instagram for smashing tofu before cooking it, to give it a crispier texture. I tried it out and really liked the results. I'll share the recipe link if I can find it. Served it over faro with brussel sprouts.

A bowl of farro grains with brussel sprouts and fried tofu on top. It looks tasty and is serving for one person. The tofu looks crispy and golden.

Tofu and brussel sprouts cooking on a cast iron pan. There is a layer of vegetable oil in the pan that the food is frying in. The tofu has been cut into quarter inch slices and then smashed, so it has a bumpy/torn texture. It has been cooked to a golden brown and looks a little crispy.
