Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Relistening to Killah Priest's Rocket to Nebula, and it stands up. No beats, but the production is still super sharp and works so well with his lyrical flow. Definitely one of the best albums from the lockdown era. killahpriest.bandcamp.com/album/rocket...

Different strokes
Two panel comic. Panel 1: a metalhead rocker dude with long hair strums a guitar enthusiastically alongside loud music. The posters around him are a bunch of power metal acts such as Lips, CMYK, and Sure. There are beer bottles and cans littered around. Panel 2: his downstairs neighbor is a different type of metalhead. He’s got a shaved head, a neutral, clean apartment with an organized record collection, and memorabilia for death/doom metal acts such as Ick, Filth, and Girth Rate. Mildly annoyed, he removes his headphones and glances up at the ceiling, from which his neighbors loud music is emanating.

This thread is getting tossed around a lot today. Is anyone else turned off by the fact that it was put together by a company that ends the thread by saying "use our email service instead"? The info may be good, but I'd love to get the info validated by someone who doesn't stand to gain from it...

A Jewish Man and Italian man congregate. The Jewish man says "time to finally sign this binding agreement between Jews and Italians." The agreement reads as follows "Agreement between all Jewish and Italian peoples. 1. We can play each other in movies/TV. 2. We're weird about our mothers. 3. Joint custody of Macho Man Randy Savage." They both sign the agreement. Macho Man Randy Savage comes up behind both of them, embraces them warmly and says "ooh yeeah."

Imagine if France have set themselves a challenge. "Un jeu". To not play in the first half and then see if they can still win in the second half. Ridiculous idea. Forget I said it.

Why does Fox insist on wheeling out John Strong and Stu Holden all the time? Why does Holden sound like he's calling the game from Antarctica?? How do they have any self respect after begging folks not to turn off the tournament at the end of the game Monday???

OK, here's a ranking of the team crests from the World Cup. It's too hot to do much else today, and my graphic designer brain is officially pickled on football, so this feels like the right moment to do this. I'll add comments where it makes sense to.

I feel like John Strong gets programmed before each game with like 4 or 5 observations that he then spits out whenever there's a lull in the action. I think he's repeated the same lines almost verbatim multiple times this game...
