This, however, is Hokusai x Godzilla, part of an ongoing project tied to the 2023 film Godzilla Minus One, by Izumo.

In the style of the Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai, Godzilla threatens boatmen whose day was already bad enough, probably.

I would love to be able to credit where this came from but I have no idea.

A large panel is covered with traffic sign arrows, some straight, some bent. Their form imitates the Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. A single empty red danger triangle represents Mount Fuji.

The BBC were also involved in the dog-pile demanded by a racist, right-wing sheep biter. All media should be investigated, but the Telegraph should be shut down and its "journalists" imprisoned as a priority. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Lord of the Rings meme, three pictures.
Gimli says "Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with the pope"
Legolas replies: What about side by side with a guy from Chicago that keeps pissing off the president?"
Gimli answers: "Aye, I could do that."

I have uploaded some neat but unfinished notes from 16 years of reading about the human uses of the asclepiads. From delicious vegetables to blue dyes to rival indigo, deadly poisons to medicines traded world-wide. And string. 1/2 archive.org/search?query...

The BBC have libelled Guillermo del Toro with the allegation that his previous film credits included Prometheus. They have edited out the heinous lie but given no apology. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Met Office is currently looking for people to suggest up to 5 names for storms... It would be great if thousands all suggested the same 5 names (in alphabetical order as that's how storm names appear): BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, Shell. www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

Kewa salsoloides (Kewaceae) grown under lights in Manchester, UK. Anybody else grown these (apart from Kew Gardens obviously)? 2½ petals, very odd. Seed from Ladysmith, South Africa. More photos and info (and Kewa bowkeriana) in my blog article: pattheplants.blogspot.com/2024/01/kewa... #flower

A small potted plant in a 7cm square black pot against a maroon shirt background. Lots of small pink flowers, buds and faded flowers on long flowerstalks held above the small blue, succulent-leaved cushion of short branches clumped tightly together.

Close-up of two Kewa salsoloides flowers with pale pink petals and stamens tiped with yellow pollen masses.
