If Biffo wasn't hurt then wtf is wrong with his face here.

Buster seems somewhat disappointed that Biffo has not been hurt as he arrives at Biffo's door with a bouquet of flowers, a bunch of fresh grapes, and a box of fancy chocs. BIFFO: Hiya, Buster! BUSTER: Oh--er--oh? So you weren't hurt after all?

Almost had a heart attack driving into our yard when I saw what I thought was a dog running under my car. Turns out it was actually a HUGE hare and I didn't even touch the bastard, it just sat there looking at me until finally deigning to get out of the way.

Me at the store today, at the checkout thinking "Oh bother, I can carry all this, I guess I need to get a plastic bag". Came out of the store with my bag full of stuff, then realized the entire time I'd been holding my tote bag which I took with me SO I COULD USE IT TO CARRY MY GROCERIES!

Scared to click like on a day old post about someone talking about how much they love their partner, in case there's a newer post where they say they just broke up.

"PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

Why the fuck did I think buying candy cane flavored dates was a good idea? I only like peppermint/mint candy for the crunch and there's no crunch in dates. It's like mushy, soaked candy cane. The flavor is there but the texture is so wrong. Zero stars for this idea.

Me and the peeps all agree that Frankenstein's monster in the new movie should just become a lead singer for a metal band and he'd fit right in.

Lol someone told our chatbot "Moooi" ("Hi" with extra 'o's) and the chatbot assumed they were Dutch because that's the name of a Dutch interior design and furniture company. Confusion followed.

Love me a good day-moon.
It's 4 pm in Finland. The picture overlooks a pier. A big, beautiful, bright moon is on the sky and reflected on the lake water. It's 4 pm. In half an hour's time it will be dark and this moon will look much more appropriate, but for now you could mistake it for a setting sun on a slightly misty day.

Maybe the reason we can't have proper human rights is that we just don't have enough mascots for them.

Japan’s human rights mascots are Jin-KEN-Mamoru-kun and Jin-KEN-Ayumi-chan.

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh.

These illustrations are from “Machinalia.”

#historyofillustration
A massive anthropomorphized sheet metal press, forcing steel into shape under enormous, wrought hands A white-hot metal billet being picked up by a hook-billed lift with threatening eyes. The covers for the heat sinks are flat, impassive salamanders with distorted, contented, human faces. A huge, horse-like bucket with a rolling human eye and scowling mouth offloads sparking hot molten metal into a mold in a long line of other molds, all of which have cartoonish human faces and human feet. They appear afraid and pained in anticipation, and the mold being poured into cries out Molten metal being poured down a human-shaped funnel’s back into a furnace with a gaping mouth human and staring eyes. The bucket pouring the metal is devised like a smiling man’s head, with hands gripping and twisting its ears to let the molten cargo pour down its nose.

Okay, to sweeten the deal, whatever name wins I'll cut it of vinyl and send to Ella to be put on the car.

Imagine catching sight of the "Pastamania Delivery Co." or "Orange Cassikia" cruising down the street!

Baron Nathan, the celebrity dance teacher of the 1850s who danced the hornpipe blindfolded, surrounded by eggs. There's something SO malevolent about this image. It's powerfully frightening.
