In the realm of the purely theoretical, there must be some level of psychic pain that would actually cause Elon to consider his life not worth continuing, but what is it? Is it even possible to achieve? How would you or anyone go about attempting to inflict it??
Do we think Pinhead might know the level of emotional anguish required to cause Elon to consider suicide and what might be needed to inflict it, or is just physical pain more this guy's deal? I never saw Hellraiser

Because of a podcast I listen to, I've started saying "YIKES ON BIKES" in conversations (it's so satisfying, friends) but I'm already phasing it out in texts for this perfect emoji kitchen-derived shorthand, please update your lexical maps accordingly
An amalgamation of the grimacing emoji and the bicycle emoji where the wheels of a bike have been replaced by two faces making the sort of expression you'd adopt upon seeing something incredibly awkward and/or terrible

Medieval manuscripts sometimes feature drawings of bunnies armed with melee weapons out to start some shit; here we have a fully-fired ceramic sculpture of just such a bunny, ready to stand guard in your home or garden The best I can do here is tell you that this is a sculpture based on a literal medieval doodle of a sort of lizard-like animal that has two legs and a hand where its head should be; the hand grasps the haft of an axe as if ready to strike a blow This is a ceramic sculpture of a black cat with a cute pink nose and triangular ears and perhaps a few too many eyes on its head What we have here is a ceramic sculpture of a tardigrade finished in a combination of three different colors of underglaze (a purple and two shades of blue) that have swirled and dappled together without mixing, a pleasing visual effect overall

Why does everybody in the Hayes Valley have this exact dog now, do you get issued one when you move there or something? We saw a half dozen of these walk past us during the dinner hour last night, all the same color even, what's going on
A picture of a doodle dog of some variety (labradoodle, goldendoodle, otherdoodle) roughly the color of dark caramel, exactly the same as the six (6) separate but identical dogs that passed by my wife and me while at dinner outside in the Hayes Valley, a San Francisco district reputed to have been heavily infested with crypto and AI developers in hacker-house hives over the past few years

Are we going to see more of my good friend Timothy Ocellus tonight in Alien: Earth or what (I know the T stands for something else but I'm pretty sure it should be Timothy)
A very good drawing of the creature T. Ocellus from Alien: Earth, who looks like a fucked-up land octopus with an eyeball where the whole head should be; additionally, it's wearing a top hat, because why not

Mission accomplished?? Behold the debut of indoor/outdoor all-weather ceramic version of Kleya Marki With A Gun* suitable for installation in garden, potted plant, or wherever else I think she should end up

* (Claya)
A small ceramic statue made by a hobbyist sculptor (me) in the shape of Kleya Marki from Andor holding a gun. The relative crudeness of the likeness might make it less of a statue and more of a totem or *invocation* even, but hopefully an observer would be able to put it together once they'd been told who it's based on; the hair and the outfit are distinctive and reasonably faithfully rendered. It is, at the very least, a more interesting object to put in a garden than your standard lawn gnome or what have you A small ceramic statue made by a hobbyist sculptor (me) in the shape of Kleya Marki from Andor holding a gun.

It's time for innocuous conspiracy theories; mine is that the sparkle pumpkin emoji kitchen combo is being intentionally deprecated because 🎃 + ✨ doesn't give it to me anymore. What's going on out there? Who's afraid of the sparkle pumpkin? Who benefits from its suppression? Follow the money.
Behold the sparkle pumpkin, one of the best creations of the Android Emoji Kitchen (at least in the eyes of a person who uses the pumpkin emoji almost constantly and has taken great delight in discovering the many possible combinations that result from its use), a combination I used to be able to invoke with 🎃 + ✨ and now have to brute-force search in order to uncover. What's happening? What enemies has the sparkle pumpkin made? We may never know.

How is it 2025 and yet someone felt the need to write this stupid fucking thing and waste all of our time, including the time I've spent just now griping about it, holy FUCK
Screenshot of a WaPo headline that reads "4 explanations for Trump's shocking Gaza proposal" as if fucking anyone in the entire world didn't already know the actual explanation, which is that Trump is a stupid piece of shit who has no idea what the fuck he's talking about at any given moment, which means either the WaPo editorial staff is at this point in 2025 so fucking stupid that they don't know we know this OR they're deliberately wasting the time of both their writers and readers and I don't fucking know which is worse

Behold the essence of the 7-year-old mind's spaceship and EVA equipment design priorities (I love my kids so much, you guys)
A fairly basic single-seater Lego space skiff that's been augmented by my 7-year-old in ways including but not limited to: glowing laser projection spines, a handheld weapon embellished to be literally twice the size of the intrepid pilot, and not one but TWO literal sharks affixed to each of the skiff's wings where stabilizers might go on a more pedestrian craft

Okay CES smart guys, anybody got a gadget that will keep these fuckers from getting moldy in my fridge after like 36 hours
A photo of some Persian cucumbers, which come in a diffidently-perforated plastic bag that seems to either encourage or at the very least do nothing to inhibit the growth of the mold that invariably takes out the last 2 or 3 before anyone in my house can get to them

All right let's really test the usefulness of Bluesky as a platform: can someone tell me where to go in the El Cerrito/Berkeley/Richmond area for The Good Mandu?

- Deep fried
- Tasty
- Doesn't look like the prepackaged kind

See attached visual aid
A photo collage illustrating the kind of mandu I'm after: principal differences are that the kind I want are deep-fried, not pan-fried, and are clearly handmade instead of looking like something I would get from a grocery store freezer section -- NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THOSE, it's just not what I picture when I think about The Good Mandu, okay

I've lived in the San Francisco Bay area for over two decades and just now discovered we have tiny little real actual ARBOREAL SALAMANDERS living outside our houses doing arboreal salamander things, looking through our windows probably, who knows
A tiny brown salamander with yellow spots, Aneides lugubris by name, simultaneously looking both alert and guilty as hell after being uncovered by me rolling the compost bin away from the side of the house. Not pictured: a somewhat larger compatriot of the same genus + species who could not be fit into the frame

Do more companies need to make zero sugar versions of whatever their holiday soda is? YES

Did I save this from last winter because I liked it so much? YES

Did I just slam the whole thing in like five minutes flat? ALSO YES

Did the date on the can say Feb 2024? THANK YOU NO FURTHER QUESTIONS
A can of Sprite Zero Sugar Winter Spiced Cranberry, a limited edition holiday soda that came out in 2023 and was so good I immediately knew I had to save half the case to savor for the rest of the following year, nobody look at me!!!!!

This idea drifted into my brain five minutes before bedtime and I couldn't get rid of it so now it's time for everyone to see it
A circle of text surrounding a vintage-looking illustration of a rabbit in a dapper olde-tymey jacket of some sort; under one arm he clutches what appears to be a medieval war pick, a truly vicious-looking melee weapon; the text surrounding the rabbit reads "Violence for violence is the rule of beasts"

An ad for some clearly AI-generated stuff ostensibly for sale on Temu that includes a dress(?) with an all-over print of just the bottom 80% of a cat, a disturbing figurine of a baby chick making a kissy face, and oh! the face of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson seemingly having been cut off the front of his skull and spread flat onto a throw pillow to gurn horrifyingly at whoever's unfortunate enough to wander into a room with this thing on the couch

The rumors are true: SHADOW OF THE SKELETON II: WEB OF THE SPIDER has been REMOVED from theatres BY OVERWHELMING AUDIENCE DEMAND for being TOO SCARY 🕸️💀🕸️
Behold once again a doorway illuminated by the sun and yet haunted by the literal shadow of a dancing skeleton decoration falling across it so perfectly it seems to have been somehow orchestrated deliberately (it wasn't), augmented by the shadow of a big fake spiderweb crisscrossing it as if to suggest the skeleton is either hanging the spiderweb or has somehow been caught in it -- interpretation is left to the viewer

Prepare to perceive the ESSENCE OF HORROR, an image so TERRIFYING it will SCARE YOUR BRAIN OUT OF YOUR OWN SKULL 💀

Just kidding, NO AMOUNT of preparation will save you from THE SHADOW OF THE SKELETON!!!!!
Behold the front door of a seemingly innocuous house, across which -- almost as if planned by some unspeakably sinister force -- falls the almost inconceivably perfectly-placed shadow of a dancing skeleton decoration cavorting with the grim and gleeful abandon characteristic of the restless undead

Gaze IF YOU DARE upon the most terrifying house imaginable!!!!!! (Quentin and Felix requested "spooky" decorations this year and were Very Specific both about wanting skeletons & spiders AND the poses to be adopted by the aforementioned skeletons)
A picture of my front porch, which has been adorned with two plastic skeletons: one hot pink, one orange. Both have been cleverly suspended from above with fishing line, appearing to have frozen in the middle of a jolly dance upon the low porch wall; the orange one in particular seems to be mid-dab.
