The painting for the month October from the 1987 DragonLance calendar I’m using this year looks like it should be a Swedish death metal album cover

A painting of a wizard looking at a blue flame surrounded by monsters and ghouls. The calendar describes it like this:

"Lair of the Live Ones"
THE LIVE ONES-WRETCHED CREATURES MISTAKENLY CREATED BY MAGIC GONE AWRY, THEY WERE HELD IN THRALL IN THIS CHAMBER, SERVING THEIR CREATOR. HERE THEY LIVED OUT THEIR TORTURED LIVES, WRITHING IN A LARVA-LIKE, BLEEDING MASS ABOUT THE FLAMING POOL.
Time of the Twins

2026 Joro Spider Report: this pretty baby just set up shop by my front door.

A not-yet-fully-grown Joro spider on a web. You can see my neighbor’s house in the background and the yellow hose I use to water my pepper plants, but the background is blurry because I was focused on the spider.

The sleepy little town of Mayberry didn’t know what hit it when this rude boy skanked into town to spread the good work of ska

One more from last night. New Orleans rippers D’Sablu playing in a parking lot that will be destroyed to build luxury student apartments next week. While this was happening, Black Flag was playing a show in the adjacent building. Symbolism abounds.

Oops. A punk show broke out in the construction site behind the Black Flag show.

About to find out what this is all about.

The marquee of the 40 Watt club in Athens, Georgia. It reads:
“Fri.
An Evening with Black Flag.
7pm”

The picture of Paul Heaton the BBC uses for the live show they recently posted makes it look like he just got caught stealing a pie off of a windowsill.

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.

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...

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."

A screenshot of a weather app which shows that the highs will be in the low to mid 80s (Fahrenheit) for the foreseeable future

7” records are annoying and kind of hard to mess with but I’ve been trying to dig back into the collection a little more. Here’s what I listened to today.

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.

It was not a totally wasted trip, though, because the bookstore had some of those @weirdwalk.bsky.social / British Library spooky short story collections, so I bought one.
