Rather than having a Take™ i'm just gonna post some underrated art that i have a slight obsession with.
Roger Puta took over 5000 slides of trains and railroads before his life was cut short by AIDS in 1990. They had a certain painterly quality to them, I think.

Yes, we talked to a geologist who curls about the very special geology of curling's stones, please enjoy
Why curling rocks come from just two spots on Earth
The rocks used in the Olympic sport of curling come from one island in Scotland and one quarry in Wales. What makes them so special?

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

I can hear Lemmon crankily but mostly politely defending her presence on set
Jack Lemmon walks his black standard poodle Chloe in a photo by Ron Galella
"His dog used to come on the set. She would watch takes and if she saw too much of it, she would amble back to Jack's dressing room on her own."
