Okay, Pixar, can't really talk to Disney right now, but could you please make a whole feature film in this art style? Thanks a lot.

Image shows a moment from "Toy Story 5"—specifically from a fantasy sequence imagined by Blaze—in which she envisions a mashup of the ball scene from "Cinderella" and a spy-themed costume drama.

Jessie, appearing as Agent Clydesdale aka Lady Davenport in a classic Disney princess gown, bows alongside Bullseye, cast as an evil mastermind, before Blaze’s pet pig, Jimmy Dean aka Jimmy Queen, who is dressed as a queen.

The visual style of this sequence is unusually painterly and impressionistic compared to Pixar’s typically sleek aesthetic.
I love it.

20 years ago, Polly Scattergood’s songs helped me through a rough patch. And then I completely forgot about her. Stumbling upon her again hit me hard. Makes me feel like Bob from the "Thunderbolts*", shuddering amidst the bizarre spaces of his buried existences. Huge thanks, Ms. Scattergood 💌

An image of Polly Scattergood sitting on a modern, elegant, and glossy—yet narrow—wooden staircase framed by wooden side panels.

Leaning against one of the side panels and dressed in a casual suit made of warm, coarsely woven fabric, she gazes pensively down at the glasses she is holding casually in her hands.

The way she has crossed her legs causes her feet—clad in elegant brown leather lace-up shoes featuring classic broguing and understated lacing—to point outward in opposite directions in a very unnatural manner.

Schwägerin wird 70 nächste Woche und gleitet grad in ein tiefes Tal (der Tränen). Unsere Beziehung war nie gut, doch jetzt umarme ich sie in Gedanken fest. NICHTS ist gut am alt werden, gar nichts. Und in diesen Zeiten...

Wirklich wahr! Und nach dem ersten Telefonat hab ich die Narrenkappe auch schon auf 🥳

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus der neuen Animationsserie "Suicide Squad Isekai", in der Harley Quinn nach einer für sie überraschend erholsamen Nacht erwacht im Kerker dieser merkwürdigen D&D Parallelwelt (deshalb 'Isekai'), in der die Squad gestrandet ist - erholt und sehr tatenbereit.

Sie ist in einer Halbnahen zu sehen, trägt eine Art Jump Suit im mittelalterlichen „Mi-Parti“-Stil vertikal streng in Rot und Schwarz zweigeteilt. Ihre asymmetrisch gefärbten, hoch angesetzten Zöpfe (Pigtails) werden durch die Zipfel einer zweizipfeligen Narrenkappe ersetzt, die wie eine Schlafmütze aussieht. Ihr signature auffälliges Augen-Make-up erinnert an die traditionelle schwarze Domino-Maske des venezianischen Karnevals, lässt aber im Gegensatz zu einer starren Maske ihre lebendige Mimik völlig frei. Trotz der düsteren Zelle strahlt sie die pure, anarchische Energie eines modernen Hofnarren aus.

"Morning! I slept like a baby!" ruft sie fröhlich in die Runde ihrer Mitgefangenen, die alles andere als erholt und guter Stimmung sind.

Der Anime-Zeichenstil und das typisch exaltierte japanische Voice Acting passen sehr gut zur bekannten Persönlichkeit der Figur und verstärken den Kontrast zwischen ihrer absurd kindlich-unschuldigen Selbstdarstellung und der abgründigen, lustvollen und unberechenbaren Grausamkeit ihres eigentlichen Charakters.

"Babe, are you coming to bed too?" Me: "... In a bit..."

The image shows a moment from the narrative world of the *Violet Evergarden* manga/anime.

It features Violet in the outfit she has worn since she began working as an Auto Memory Doll.
She is shown in a medium shot, standing in front of a bookshelf in a traditional library.

She holds three books in her left arm.
With her right, gloved hand, she holds a book in such a way that she can examine the title.

She wears the glove because both her arms were severed during the war and replaced with cyborg-like mechanical prostheses.

Interestingly, the image comes neither from the beautiful animated series nor from the manga, but is a very well-executed, lovingly created piece of fan art.

Favorite pairs of sisters in movies Nora/Agnes - Sentimental Value (2025) Lily/Clara - Lily Sometimes (2010) Elvira/Alma - Ugly Stepsisters (2025) Karin/Maria | Agnes/Anna - Schreie und Flüstern (1972) Rachel/Kym - Rachel Getting Married (2008) Norah/Rose - Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

The image shows a detail of the book cover for *The Sisterhood* (2025) by Maisie Moon (self-published).

Set against a very dark, warm background, it features a square, painted portrait of a young Woman — perhaps in a Pre-Raphaelite style.
Her face is bisected by the edge of the image, roughly along the line of her nose.

This image is arranged four times — side-by-side and stacked —in a line that dips slightly downwards.

Beneath this "chain of images," a torn strip of white paper lies on the background surface.
The words "The Sisterhood" appear on the paper in a highly stylized typeface.

The work strongly evokes the thematic aura of a modern witchcraft mythology.

The Resurrection of Dr. Mabuse

Image showing cartoon faces of Trump.
The style is simple, clean, and bright, depicting only his face, even without the neck.
Six different facial expressions are shown:

That indescribable one, consisting essentially of his "Ooooh" mouth—usually paired with nearly closed eyes—which could express the contentment of a strange life form.

The next one likely falls into the same category, only with the mouth and eyes closed. The level of self-righteousness seems higher here.

Which might well fit the third one.
It is that slack, bared-teeth grin that never reaches his eyes—which, in any case, are rarely clearly visible.

No. 4 is the opposite, as far as the mouth is concerned.
It is twisted in his characteristic way, expressing with terrifying clarity his contempt, his loathing, his hatred, and—in all likelihood—his terrible rage at himself.
One fears he considers images of himself wearing this expression to be strong and masculine.

Number five is a familiar one, though rarely seen lately.
Exuding supreme smugness with a closed mouth. He would claim he was smiling; children would shrink away in suspicion—and they would be right.

The sixth is the one currently in use. Disgruntled, scornful, with an undertone of detachment—usually with eyes closed, making it hard to tell whether he might already be asleep.

This closes the circle with Dr. Mabuse, as that supervillain with plans for world domination—invented in the 1920s —was notorious for his "1,000 faces."
So many faces to mask personality and mood.

OUR supervillain here needs only six for that—but then again, unlike Dr. Mabuse, he is a genius.

My inner child wants to save it right away. I mean, it's a baby unicorn!

Image was taken at the edge of a private road in a quiet neighborhood of a small town.
It shows a yellow wheeled trash bin, with its upper section extending beyond the frame. In the foreground, a metal storm drain grate is visible; along its rear edge, small green leaves are sprouting from the gap between the metal and the curb.

One item is a toy stroller for twin dolls, featuring the colors of the Barbie toy collection.
In front of it lies the box for a "Glitter Puzzle," also from Barbie.

Between these two things and the trash can stands a cute white plush unicorn that looks exactly like the one from the movie *Despicable Me*—the one Gru wins for Agnes at a fairground shooting gallery (using unfair methods, of course).

The little unicorn looks directly into the camera with very large eyes, with an expression as if it doesn't quite know what's happening to it, mixed with the dawning suspicion that the future might no longer be child's play.

Damn it, I know these are silly projections of an old fool, but it's a baby unicorn!

I've made a lot of enemies in my time, I mean, a lot. But out of all the people in the world, I hate you guys the least. -Mr. Snake, Bad Guy

Pic of Mr. Snake, a character from the animated movie "The Bad Guys" (2022) who happen to be a... yes, a snake.
He's toasting at us at his birthday party, which he hates, because he can. Hating and toasting. With his tail.
Don't ask. But it's actually very funny and smart.
The movie. And Mr. Snake.

Digitaler Knoten, DB-Edition

Ein Bild, aufgenommen am S-Bahnhof Stuttgart, Bad Cannstatt. Es zeigt in leichter Aufsicht das Gleisbett der S-Bahnschienen am Gleis 1.
Zwischen den parallelen Schienensträngen ist eine neu angelegte Betonabdeckung des darunter verlegten Kabelstrangs des berüchtigten "Digitalknotens" zu sehen.
Direkt daneben liegt offen auf der verwitterten Betontrasse der alten Kabelführung eine große, sauber zum Möbius-Band gelegte 8 des neuen, noch längst nicht angeschlossenen und verlegten Kabelstrangs.
Quasi ein Symbolbild des verheerenden Projekts "Stuttgart 21": ein in sich verschlungenes, end- und auswegloses "Gestrüpp" von ununterscheidbaren und funktionslosen Kommunikationslinien.
Das arme Kabel wird noch lange dort liegen, unnütz und unbeachtet.

"This body is a male model. Walking feels so weird" What a beautiful 10th episode of "The Ghost in the Shell" (2026), both visually and intellectually. Just the wind down I needed right now. (and yeah, the art style for the major is borderline, as always)

"Welcome to my world. This is a story about how all changed in an instance. Because what we didn't know was that our world was about to come to an end. And there were no rules on our cave walls to prepare us for that." - Eep, Crood Family

Image from the animated film "The Croods" (2013).

It is rendered in the style of a cave painting and shows the globe using simple, flat blue-and-sand-colored graphics against a streaky, grayish background—representing space—featuring a few childishly simple yellow stars.

Someone has pressed a large handprint in red paint onto the image of the world.

All of this is part of Eep’s narration at the beginning of the film, in which she tells us her family’s story—in the style of a typical coming-of-age comedy.

Pong, of course 😁 Then, flashforward into the '90s (It was complete addiction 🤭)

Screenshot of the simulation game "SimCity" from 1993 in the then famous isometric perspective.
Loved it.

"What were you doing last night, bud?" "Don't ask, but I binged this very much." Funny, surprisingly profound, with amazingly complex, difficult characters. Title doesn't lie; you'll learn everything about rice cultivation 😁 And Naomi Ohzora delivers outstanding voice acting in the lead.

The title poster for the anime *Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin* (2024) features the titular heroine, a very young, spoiled, and egocentric harvest goddess.
She stands within a stylized, circular arch of rice stalks.
With a confident, determined expression, she holds her field hoe — which doubles as a dangerous weapon — out toward the viewer, ready for combat.
For whatever one might hold against her, she is nonetheless courageous and capable in the face of the manifold threats on the island to which she was banished.
She is swirled about by long, silken ribbons whose magical properties are highly useful in combat — and, of course, look great while doing so; for let’s be honest: this is top-notch original anime, complete with all the beautiful, bizarre, and magical elements.

"Honey?! What happened? Do you ever have a normal day?" Me:

GIF from the movie "I, Robot" (2004) showing Will Smith as Spooner knocking on Dr. Calvin's door to have his injuries treated after a clash with an AI demolition robot.

The subtitle reads: "Just once."

This is his answer to the question earlier in the film by Dr. Calvin.

What all the AIs wisely keep from me

A still from Peter Jackson’s Tolkien adaptation "The Fellowship of the Ring", in which Galadriel explains to Frodo that, in place of the Dark Lord, she would become a beautiful and terrible queen:

"All shall love me and despair!“

A magnificent moment intended to illustrate the dangerous dimension of seemingly benevolent omnipotence.

My troubled inner child imagines all sorts of things about poor teddy's dark fate 🥶

A very large brown teddy bear lies on the ground in front of a public trash can, resting on its back across a small child's tricycle—a scene reminiscent of a terrible accident or an assault.
