Data guy (healthcare) & art nerd/maker in NYC, USA. I love to reskeet cute pets & animals. Otherwise, I'm probably watching Dimension 20 & celebrating Pride 🏳️‍⚧️ with El Corazón 🐈‍⬛ & Darwin 🐈.

A metal hot dog cooking station, labeled "Electric Snack House - Fresh, Tender, Juicy Hot Dogs, individually wrapped in cellophane" with a picture of a hot dog with electric lightning bolts around it while also wearing a sombrero. 3 small ports are at the bottom where assumedly the hot dogs exit their electrical cooking journey.

absent shared norms, facts, standards of evidence or methods of reasoning, “public debate” is just broadcasting talking points performing “public debate” in that context means tacitly agreeing that whatever’s being debated, however fundamental, is just a matter of opinion even if you win, you lose

A black and white photo of the Hudson Yards schwarmaIf you zoom in on the lower right corner of the photo, it says “NEW YORM CITY 1995.” The Schwarma was built in 2019. There’s a Sephora in the background, but Sephora’s first NYC store opened in 1998, and it sure as shit wasn’t in Hudson Yards, construction of which began in 2012.

The Woke are coming off a down season but the core remains intact and they've called up some young talent. Advanced metrics suggest their stars were underperforming their peripherals for much of the summer. Expect contention as early as next season if they sign some high heat relief over the winter

In 1931, the Irving family, who lived on a farm on the Isle of Man, claimed to have been visited by Gef, the Talking Mongoose. Gef supposedly told them "I am a freak. I have hands and I have feet, and if you saw me you'd faint, you'd be petrified, mummified, turned into stone or a pillar of salt!"
A sketch of Gef the talking mongoose by George Scott.
From "The Haunting of Cashen's Gap: A Modern "Miracle" Investigated" 1936.

A time-aged photo of a bowling team posing behind a display of bowling balls and pins. From left to right, we've got a long-haired white guy making a 'hell yeah!' face and probably hearing REO Speedwagon in his head. Then there's a pretty girl with straight long hair in a pink shirt very consciously doing a posing for a photo face. Then a black guy in a blue polo to prove everyone here is cool, next to the oldest dude on the team with longer hair and a 'stache in a peach-colored bowling shirt. Then a girl with a cute bob and sunglasses in a floral shirt, and finally there's Ed who there isn't a lot to say about. Below the ball display is a wooden sign with tracks for placing movable plastic letters. In the top left it reads 'REDONDO BCH.' and top right is '1975' and between those is the mysterious phrase 'MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'.

I found my perfect bookplate maker while self-soothing from current events by looking at Ex Libris bookplates online, in case you also would like to self-soothe this way. en.lestamponsderoser.com/collections/...
Four black and white ink drawings for different ex libris book plates. Ex Libris Margarita Flores has a young woman on her back, a leg dangling, reading on a sofa in front of a bookshelf, four shelves of books rising above her. Pier Paolo Pasolini Ex Libris sits below a book plate with a coat of arms showing a hand writing with a quill, a crown above the coat of arms. Josephine Scott Ex Libris is a drawing of someone seated and reading, possibly a woman, with long hair, in a stylish black coat, legs crossed and pointed away from the viewer at an angle. The chair resembles the chairs you find in a Parisian park. And then Ex Libris Pablo Moya Merino is a coastal sketch, a path to a lighthouse at the edge of the sea.
