Wow I wonder if this creates any perverse incentives to make sure the polling data is as wrong as possible? 🤔

I’m reading the .pdf copy of Fantastic Four 208 (1979) from the DVD-ROM files (the watermark is part of the deal in the reader I’m using). How about these two ads? Didn’t age well…

Pete Rose selling a pitching apparatus. Rose would go on to bet on baseball, allegedly on games in which he played and managed, and was banned from baseball for life.

OJ Simpson selling Spot-Bilt cleats.

You’ve been on Planet X if you don’t know OJ’s deal.

We're All the Animals - 2

Corny sticker at expo today. This show is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.

The aisles are extended gutters, and the gutters are full of fanart and keychains...

The accumulated waste of their trinkets will pile up about their waists, and they will look up and shout "Save us!" ...
... and I'll look down and whisper "No."

I'm so sorry, but I don't know what this bit is, dude

KING OF THE DEAD (1977) Gouache on illustration board - 24” x 14” I had the good fortune of working on Elric early in my career. The books by Michael Moorcock have proven to be enduring classics in fantasy. #art #booksky 🪐📚

Elric holds the slender black blade of Stormbringer as he turns in surprise toward a menacing skeletal figure. His gold cloak billows as he pivots, and the gold chain gripped in his other hand slackens as the ruby amulet bobs weightless with sudden motion. Arms flexed wide, the threatening figure grips a black trident. Beneath a horned helm, its skull is set in a deathly howl that exposes its fangs. With eyes flashing, a mass of figures skulk among smooth pillars in the background. Several of the ape-like humanoids flank Elric in the lower foreground.

This photograph captures the essence of kōyō (or momijigari, the seasonal custom of autumn foliage viewing), a cherished pastime in Japan that dates back to the refined courtly culture of the Heian period (794–1185).

Framed in a breathtaking display of autumn brilliance, a towering canopy of fiery crimson Japanese maple (momiji) and luminous golden ginkgo (ichō) expands above a rugged, hand-stacked stone retaining wall (ishigaki). At the base of the wall, a thick, glowing carpet of fallen ginkgo leaves covers the earth like a golden tapestry. Standing amidst this fallen foliage are two quiet figures holding bright, matching umbrellas—one vibrant yellow and one deep red—strikingly echoing the dual-colored canopy towering above them. The soft, diffused light of a damp autumn day illuminates the scene, evoking the tactile coolness of mountain air, the subtle scent of damp earth, and the quiet rustle of fallen leaves underfoot.
Both the maple and ginkgo serve as quintessential fūbutsushi—poetic seasonal markers that signify the peak of autumn across the archipelago. The presence of the weathered stone masonry and the corner of a traditional timber building suggests the sanctuary of a temple or shrine precinct nestled in the mountains. Here, the deliberate integration of architectural stonework with the surrounding forest demonstrates the enduring tradition of Japanese monozukuri (artisanal mastery in environmental design), where human cultivation acts in gentle harmony with the wild cycles of nature.

You know, if you put a Halloween Pumpkin Peep in your coffee and let the Peep dissolve, you get a creepy face staring at you on that first sip. Just sayin. #WhatsInMyCoffee

An orange Halloween Pumpkin Peep with a smiling face floating in a cup of coffee.

A cupbof coffee with a grungy orange film foam on top with a darker orange where a Halloween Pumpkin Peep used to be. The creepy smiling face remains undisturbed.
