I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

THREAD. A collection of photographs of the best scarecrows I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.
A scarecrow who has got drunk on extra strength lager and, rather embarrassingly, is now reliving his glory days in the Royal Air Force.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.
A man I met high in the Peak District who, due to crimes he would not disclose to me, had been turned into two conjoined Sycamore trees by a coven of witches and condemned to spend eternity waving his useless branch hands at the cold, cruel sky.

These are the best chips I’ve had in a long time. Yes, there is shamrock extract in there. Super flavorful. They have a blue cheese version I really want to try. #chips #crisps #food #snack

Today is the anniversary of Scrooge McDuck. He first appeared in Four Color #178, which went on sale on November 14, 1947.
The cover shows the title, Walt Disney's Donald Duck in Christmas on Bear Mountain. Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are watching as a giant teddy bear opens a Christmas gift and is annoyed to see he has gotten a teddy bear. A close up of Scrooge thinking "Me--I'm different! Everybody hates me, and I hate everybody!"

“Manhattan” Cocktail, designed by Norman Bel Geddes, 1934–35; produced c. 1939-41 (The Art Institute of Chicago)
"An overt reference to New York City’s skyline, the “Manhattan” cocktail set represents the 1930s fascination with all things modern and urban. The tall, cylindrical cocktail shaker and stemmed cups that echo the shape and design of the shaker cap were sold with a stepped serving tray on which the cocktail service could be arranged like architectural elements. The shaker seen here is the second of two versions and was advertised as “party-size” because of its slightly larger dimensions." https://www.artic.edu/artworks/184673/manhattan-cocktail-set

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Is a dragon plaguing your land? A fix from medieval Wales:

1. Dig a hole, fill it w/mead, & cover w/a sheet.

2. Wait for the dragon to tire itself out & turn into a pig.

3. Let the pig fall in the hole, get wrapped in the sheet & drink all the mead.

4. Capture the drunk pig in a chest & bury it.
Oxford, Jesus College MS 111, fol. 130r. A drawing of a two-legged dragon in red, marking a run-on at the bottom of a page. His long tail is curled behind him and in front of him is the run-on and a red rectangle with some cross hatching. Three lines of text in Middle Welsh are visible above the dragon.
