I really wish we could skip ahead to the time where we look at this shit the same way we currently look at NFTs. I know it's gonna happen, I just wish it would hurry up.

Local high school's website is filled with the ugliest A.I. flyers for all its clubs and organizations and in the middle of it all is this:
A crude drawing of what appears to be a star-nosed mole with text announcing the meeting time and location for the high school Ecology Club.

TFW your cups are dirty
A screenshot from the 1975 movie "Big Times for the Crazy Bumpkins" that shows a woman sitting at a table. The table is piled with fabric. There is a sewing machine to the woman's right. She is wearing a black vest over a floral shirt. She is talking to someone off camera to her left. The subtitle reads "My cups are dirty."

Time to check in on the latest posts from the official Shaw Brothers YouTube channel...
The title card for the 1975 Shaw Brothers comedy film "Big Times for the Crazy Bumpkins." This is the 3rd film in a series and I haven't seen the first 2. I sure hope I can keep up...

Listening to Poledouris' RoboCop score at work (as one does) and even divorced from my opinion of the movie (hint: I like it), it's an amazing piece of music. The way Robocop's theme weaves in and out of the composition... This is "the good stuff."

Still blasting through Ada Palmer's "Inventing the Renaissance" and breaking it up with stories from the "View From Another Shore" collection of short stories in translation and I'm having a pretty good time with both of them. www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.c...

This isn't just my favorite book cover, Moorcock cover, or whatever. It's one of my favorite pieces of art in general.

I will send you a copy of "Low Effort" for FREE if you ask me for one, but it is not a "no obligation" transaction. If you do not mail me something *you* made in return, then you're off the list until you do.

I have received dozens of cards and letters all asking the same thing: "When will there be a new issue of 'Low Effort,' America's favorite quarter-sized 'zine of not-very-interesting photography?" The answer is: "today."
The 5th issue of "Low Effort." It is a quarter-sized (4.25" X 5.5") zine on white paper. Under the title is a photograph of some leaves floating in a puddle. The tree from which the leaves fell is reflected in the water. Real artistic shit. The type you could never hope to understand. Below the photo are the words "We're all having a really good time."

I don’t know what it’s like everywhere else but where I live people get hyped about the summer being done so everybody in this whole state schedules EVERYTHING in October and it’s always stupid amounts of busy. I kind of hate it.

When I interviewed for my last job I was wearing one of those water backpacks that long-distance cyclists wear and it was full of cherry-flavored Icee. I sat down in the chair too hard and it ruptured and spurted sticky red iced goo all over the conference room. They made me the CEO.

I may be rushing it a bit (it’s gonna be 80° or above for the next 10 days at least) but I’m gonna go ahead and declare Sport Coat Season OPEN
A “selfie” of a middle aged man (me) reflected in what it obviously the mirror of the toilet of his office job for nerds. He is wearing a dark blue sport coat over a blue and white plaid shirt. He has a pink pocket square. He is wearing grey pants. There is a garbage can behind him.

I was literally on the *edge of sleep* and my brain was like “hey remember that part in ‘Some Kind of Monster’ where they hire the guy from Infectious Grooves and have a meeting with him where they very earnestly are like “to show we are serious we ware going to give you one million dollars.”

In ‘94 I worked as a building manager for the student center on campus. My job was mostly unlocking and locking meeting rooms. I worked from 4 to Midnight. Every night I worked, I made sure to take a “lunch” break so I could watch one full hour of The Simpsons on the break room TV.

The Resident Evil movies are a series of films about a man who loves his wife so much he tricks Hollywood into giving him money to make multiple films about how much of a badass his wife is and I read that Cregger’s wife just has a voice-only role in the new one so it can’t be any good.

All this is true and the point I’m about to make is a minor one in comparison but Pansy Division’s “The Summer You Let Your Hair Grow Out” is one of the best pop songs ever written.
