I'll see your Hoopston Cornjerkers and raise you the Cobden Appleknockers.

A cartoon farmer (?) wearing overalls, a floppy hat, and bandana around his neck, with hayseed in his mouth and carrying an apple the size of his head.

The mascot costume for the Cobden Appleknockers, which consisted of overalls, a yellow shirt, red neck bandana. There are large, fleece-like gloves to mimic fleshy hands, and a disproportionately large head, with large ears, rotund eyes, a smiling mouth with hayseed, and a giant brown hat.

I saw this person's sign while marching and thanked them for including ALL the names of ICE's victims, not just the white people. Their response: "I just hate that I almost ran out of space. "

A cardboard sign reading "We remember" at the top and "We demand justice" in the middle. The names of 20 people surround this, all people who were killed by ICE.

Some of the signs I enjoyed today.

A sign with Oompa Loompas, but their faces are replaced with Trump's face. It treads "Trumpa lumpa dumping dee / This is the face of autocracy"

A cardboard guillotine with "I am le tired!" written on it.

A sign with Captain America, reading "I should be at C2E2 but I've got work to do here." C2E2 is the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo.

Did the #NoKings march in Chicago with my daughter and @stephaleen.bsky.social today. Absolutely fantastic to see (and hear) so many people who want an end to this autocracy/kakistocracy "running" this country. The regime should be scared -because the people are not.

I am so, so sad to hear the amazing Catherine O'Hara is gone. I'd watch her on SCTV when I was a kid, not getting most of the jokes. And then there was Beetlejuice, and both my beloved Sally and Shock in NBX. And then Moira Rose. Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman... Pure genius.

Saw this a while ago and it makes me laugh. I figured someone else might get a smile from it.

3 images of Zack Efron from his High School Musical days, smiling and shrugging his shoulders. Large bold text at the top reads "What radicalized you?" Next to each photo is text reading "Idk, I'm not a piece of shit," "My parents told me to 'treat others as you'd like to be treated.' Shit stuck with me, I guess," and "I have empathy towards other people..."

I shared with my daughter what is probably my favorite painting in the whole museum, Reganeschi's Saturday Night by John Sloan, 1912, oil on canvas. It depicts women socializing without men or chaperones, out having fun once societal rules changed and they could just be free in public together.

A painting of a busy restaurant. Three women in turn of the century clothes and large hats sit together at a table with a white tablecloth and cane back chairs. They drink with pinky fingers raised, feet hooked around chair legs, and obvious glee, all signs that they are not high society ladies, but they're having a great time together all the same.

Mideval art with offputting versions of Jesus (baby or adult) make me laugh til I cry. I have no idea who made any of these paintings, as I had to haul ass out of the gallery from giggling so hard.

This Jesus is going to sashay away ... to Heaven!

The proportions of Jesus's torso are that of a baby, but his hairline says he has a 401(k).

Come for the man-faced cherubs, stay for creepy baby Jesus!

What has happened to his head? Did they dip it in glue and roll him in hay from the manger?

Apparently, I like landscapes, especially if they're rocky.

The Valley of Les Puits-Noir, Gustave Courbet, 1868. Oil on canvas.

Pergola with Oranges, Thomas Fearnley, 1834. Oil on paper.

Italian Landscape, probably Heinrich Reinhold, 1821-1824? Oil on paper.

The Eruption of Vesuvius, Pierre-Jacques Volaire, 1778. Oil on canvas.

First, I found this series of six paintings by Francisco de Goya portraying the story of a friar who took on a famous bandit. So many people just walked right by, didnt even look! The DRAMA people were missing!

1. Famous criminal El Maragato stealing from people. The bandit wields a gun towards a dejected man, who hangs his head. In the background are scared people in a room (I assume the hostages).

2. El Maragato comes after Friar Pedro del Salvidia. He points his gun at the Friars, who doesn't look too happy about it. El Maragato doesn't know what he's in for.

3. Friar Pedro wrestles the gun from El Maragato! Whatever plunder the bandit had, it's now on the ground, lost in the tussle.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Poster for Rambo III. It's Sylvester Stallone in a too-small black tank top, looming in front of snowy mountains while a helicopter hovers over his shoulder. The tagging reads "The first was for himself. The second was for his country. The third is for his friend." Then "STALLONE" in giant red letters, with the title of the movie at the bottom of the poster.

These guys blew my mind. Probably because there was very little sci-fi watched by my parents, so when I saw them I was all 🤯
