House-sitting for a neighbor .
Was playing with Qwen-Image the other day and asked it "𝘈𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦".
After five hours (no GPU), this is what popped out. I wonder if it's one of the programmers?

I know you're talking about software, but this reminded me of reading about excessive packaging years ago over at theregister.com
Here's two HP shipments: a mouse, and a power cord.
I think they sent a single piece of paper in a box bigger than the cord one, too; don't know where the image is...

Here's a 165 Lb. rescue, 1/2 Shepherd, 1/2 Standard Poodle.
The shelter lady said "This is Charlie. Charlie Brown."
"No, Ma'am", I replied. "This is Charlie Horse."
He's awesome.

Satanic Plastic wanted people to post occult book covers, but only allowed replies from people they follow.
Not sure why people ask for things if they then refuse the sharing.
In any event, one of my all time favs.

An old artist friend painted this back in 2010. Think it was inspired by "Frank's Hog Stand" in San Antonio, from the folks that brought us carhops and drive-through restaurants in the 1920's. In its day it was used as shelter for the barhops, and has been a restaurant as well over the years.

In the 70's, one of my high school buddies kept getting sent home because he'd wear bib overalls without a shirt.
But they never bothered me when I wore one of my then favorite T-Shirts, or a 3" round button of Frank Frazetta's classic "Golden Girl".
Go figure.
