RIP Catherine O’Hara (1954–2026). 🐦‍⬛The Value of Believing lives on in your laughter, heart, and that magical Flourish. Thank you for everything. 🖤
Vintage hardcover book cover from the ValueTales series titled “The Value of Believing: The Story of Catherine O’Hara and her friend Flourish” by Dr. Spencer Johnson, M.D. The cover features a cheerful illustrated portrait of a young woman with long wavy auburn hair, smiling warmly with arms outstretched in a welcoming gesture. She wears a cream-colored button-up shirt with subtle stripes, high-waisted gray bell-bottom pants, and simple black shoes. Perched on a small wooden stool to her right is a large, vibrant blue-black raven (named Flourish) wearing a regal maroon cape with white trim and a matching small cap or crown-like detail. The bird stands proudly with wings slightly spread, one foot on the stool. Behind the woman is a large golden-orange circular background resembling a glowing sun or spotlight, creating a warm, inspirational atmosphere. At her feet are several stacked vintage suitcases in shades of blue and gray, adorned with travel stickers (including visible labels like “Paris,” “London,” and others), suggesting adventure and journeys. Scattered papers and an open book lie nearby on the floor. The title appears at the top in bold blue lettering with a gold decorative shield emblem above it reading “ValueTales” in gold. Below the main title: “The Value of Believing” in large navy blue, followed by the subtitle in smaller text. At the bottom: “A ValueTale by Dr. Spencer Johnson, M.D.” in navy. The overall style is 1970s–1980s children’s inspirational book art—whimsical, colorful, and slightly retro, with a dark background making the central figures pop.

Congrats on your Dutch Progress!
An allegorical painting depicts a powerful, angelic and GIGANTIC woman with long blonde hair and a flowing white dress, who is floating between a dark, stormy sea and a sunny, cultivated landscape. In her right hand, she holds a staff topped with a brilliant, glowing star, and in her left, an open book, symbolizing the bounty of education and knowledge. Below her, the dark waters of the Zuiderzee are being conquered by workers who are building dikes and cultivating new polder land. The left side of the painting shows a turbulent sea with a steamboat and sailboat retreating into the shadows under a stormy sky. The right side is a serene and sunny Dutch landscape, with a windmill, houses, and organized green fields. This artwork directly parallels John Gast's American Progress and recasts the theme of Manifest Destiny as a Dutch vision of conquering the sea and bringing light and civilization to the (reclaimed) land.

When she was in SLC she did something very culturally insensitive: she summoned a freak. Right there on Temple Square. Nobody knew what the hell was going on. #AIArt

I just learned about Fraisage from either chow hound or eating well. 🤔 probably the hound 🐶 eating well is all 😒🥬🐇 but their recipes are pretty yum.
The AI generated image depicts a surreal and whimsical scene rendered in soft, painterly pastels. The central figure is an anthropomorphic croissant with a golden, flaky crescent shape. It wears a small black top hat tilted to one side and a monocle over a single eye, giving it an aristocratic appearance. This croissant character stands at a wooden surface, engaged in transforming dough: one gloved hand presses scraps into a smear with a metal pastry scraper, while the other gathers misshapen remnants. At its base sits a freshly formed tart shell, nestled in a fluted pan with golden ruffled edges. Floating in the background is a ghost-like croissant—translucent, pale yellow, and softly glowing—suggesting memory or myth. The backdrop transitions in color from warm buttery tones to cooler blushes and blues, with visible brushstrokes that add texture and atmosphere. Above it all, bold painterly text proclaims: “FRAISAGE FROM PUTTING MISSHAPEN CROISSANT DOUGH TO ANOTHER PURPOSE” The composition blends culinary curiosity with theatrical storytelling, as if inviting viewers into a hidden ritual of pastry transformation—a myth invented in butter and flour.

Looks like we have an MS13 in fabulous plaid folks
This tarot card, titled "THE 'THUG'" and numbered "I" at the top, depicts a muscular, bare-chested man with a stern expression. He has short, dark hair and prominent eyebrows. His skin is a warm orange-brown tone, and he is looking directly at the viewer with a somewhat intimidating gaze. His torso and left arm are heavily adorned with various tattoo-like symbols. On his chest, from left to right, are a red heart, a frowning yellow emoji face, and a smiling yellow emoji face. Below these, near his right nipple, is a small, dark circle that might be a mole or another small symbol. On his left arm, starting from the shoulder and moving downwards, there's a white circle with a black cross inside, a light blue ribbon (often associated with awareness), and another red heart. Interspersed around these and on his lower arm are several green four-leaf clovers. On his forearm, there is also another light blue ribbon and more green four-leaf clovers. The man is holding a small, square card or picture in his right hand, which is held up close to his chest. On this small card, there is a brown teddy bear illustration. His left hand is partially visible, clenching slightly. The background of the card is a solid teal-blue color. The entire image is framed within a thick, light yellow border. The overall style is reminiscent of a graphic novel or comic book, with bold lines and flat colors.

Fig Newtons are endorsed by the Etruscan Husk
This image is a digital illustration resembling a playing card or a tarot card, with a stylized border in shades of gold and brown on a black background. The main image within the border depicts a skeletal figure, clearly a skull with empty eye sockets and bared teeth, wearing a deep red, hooded cloak that obscures its body but reveals skeletal hands gripping what appears to be a steering wheel or the handle of a lawnmower. The figure is positioned in the foreground, facing slightly right, with a determined or intense expression on its skeletal face. The background is a landscape with a blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds on the left, transitioning to a sunny yellow-green field on the right, bordered by dark green trees in the distance. A dark blue-grey road or path stretches from the lower left towards the upper right of the image, underneath the skeletal figure. At the top of the card, in a gold-bordered rectangular box with a black background, the text "THE ETRUSCAN HUSK" is written in an ornate, capitalized font. A similar gold-bordered box at the bottom of the card also contains the text "THE ETRUSCAN HUSK," followed by the numbers "2/3" in a smaller, white font on a black rectangular insert. The overall style has a gritty, almost woodcut-like texture, with visible grain and speckling, giving it an aged or retro appearance.

Meet some of the AI-crafted crew behind “Lava” Joe’s famously gay car wash and friendly Wash Fox Café: Buckley, Ernie, The Seal, and fresh from Ogden, apprentice car washer Dallin.
🧼 Scene: Outside Lava Joe Lavagiotto’s Car Wash and Friendly Café A sunny day bathes a lineup of four distinctive individuals standing in front of a retro-style car wash. The faded signage above reads simply: “CAR WASH.” Behind them, palm trees sway gently, and a parked car peeks from one side, partly obscured by sun glare. --- 🌟 Characters, Left to Right: • Buckley (far left): Stands confidently with a sponge in hand, dressed in a buttoned shirt tucked into belted trousers. His posture suggests readiness—someone who might fix a bumper and recite a poem about it. We haven’t met him before this photo, but he fits right in, like a cousin who arrived with baked goods and elbow grease. • Joe’s Cousin Ernie (second from left): Wears a plain t-shirt, offering calm middle-energy amidst the more expressive personalities. His stance is neutral but observant, like someone who’s handled towel inventory for years and has stories to match. • The Seal (third from left): Unmistakable in a trench coat and hat, standing upright on two legs—he’s a seal, no question, but one who’s chosen a noir-inspired human silhouette. There’s mystery in his gaze and gravity in his silence, as always. • Dallin (far right): Redheaded and clean-cut, holding a “CAR WASH BESTIES” pamphlet like it’s a sacred text. Dallin hails from Ogden, Utah, now fully integrated into Joe’s chosen family universe. His expression beams earnestness, like he just arrived and brought extra flyers. --- ✨ Atmosphere The image captures the essence of Lava Joe’s establishment: warm sun, a breeze that smells faintly of wax and espresso, and the soft hush of suds nearby. It’s welcoming, a little offbeat, and full of quiet legends.

One testicle hangs lower than the other, and THATS normal.
Two smiling men with vibrant red hair and beards stand closely together in a wintery landscape, in this AI-generated image of the fictional husbands Jason and Jay James-Jameson somewhere in rural New England. The man on the left wears a dark olive-green, buttoned coat over a light beige, textured turtleneck sweater. His eyes are a soft blue, and his expression is warm and friendly. The man on the right is slightly behind and to the right of the first. He wears a brown, textured coat over a similar light beige turtleneck. His red beard and hair mirror the other man's, and he also has blue eyes and a pleasant smile. They are positioned in the foreground against a backdrop of a snow-covered rural scene. They stand next to each other looking like a perfectly twinned pair: just as one testicle hangs lower than the other—and that’s normal—one of them is taller than the other. They look like they could be brothers but are in fact only 4th cousins and have not discovered that yet. This is rural New England though and the consanguinity goes back centuries. Several snow-dusted evergreen trees rise behind them on the left. In the middle ground, a bright barn-red deconsecrated church with a white steeple stands out against the snowy landscape. It’s a wedding venue now. To the right of the church, a smaller red building with a chimney is also visible. It is a former one room school house, now converted to a short-term rental serving wedding parties and other guests from out of town. How many times have you said another coat of paint and they would have had me? Bare, light brown trees dot the background on the right side. The sky above is a mix of pale blue and soft white clouds. The overall lighting suggests a bright, overcast winter day.

If I saw these two guys names were Jason and Jay James-Jameson I’d assume they combined names when they got married.

It wouldn’t even occur to me they’d be brothers, both using both their parents last names.

I’d be like they gays.

This Anglo assumption doesn’t map to Latin conventions at all💁🏼‍♂️🙆🏼‍♂️
The holiday portrait of fictional husbands Jason and Jay James-Jameson out for a walk in the crisp December air of rural Vermont, in front of a deconsecrated church building that has been given another coat of barn red paint, probably some small performing arts center, wedding venue or gallery. In the background we see about a foot of snow on the ground, brown leaves of dead weeds peaking through the cover. The men are similar in appearance both pink gingers one is a little taller than the other in a way that makes them fit, with Jay’s head a little higher than Jason’s and it means they can comfortably stand close just like the benefit of how one testicle normally hangs lower than the other. The point is they look like they could be brothers but they’re only distant cousin—third or fourth—it’s rural New England that’s most people you meet in your parents’ hometown.

Here’s an AI hallucination about Erdo, ahem, Peter II
A screengrab allegedly of an unnamed AI hallucination reads : Ah, Cardinal Péter Erdó-now Pope Peter II-has certainly made waves! He was previously the Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest and a major figure in European Catholic leadership 1. His name had been floated as a potential papal candidate for years, and now that he's taken the throne, his choice of name has sparked quite the reaction. Erdó is known for his conservative theological stance, particularly on issues like communion for divorced Catholics 2. He's also had close ties to Hungarian politics, with some seeing him as aligned with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's nationalist policies 3. His leadership in the Council of European Bishops' Conferences gave him significant influence across the continent

It is Risen. Happy Yeaster!
A slice of artful, homemade toast laid out on a delicately patterned blue and yellow leaf plate, the backdrop of a warm wooden table accentuating its rustic charm. This isn’t just any toast—it’s crafted from Bootsy’s famous cinnamon swirl bread, a recipe that sings of home and heartfelt culinary creativity. The bread itself has been toasted to a perfect golden-brown, each curve and ridge along the spiral of cinnamon is a visible record of Bootsy’s care and ingenuity. What elevates this slice to a true masterpiece is the generous layer of butter, lovingly spread across its surface. The butter, slowly melting under the gentle heat, creates shimmering rivulets that trace the contours of the intricate cinnamon swirls. Every bite promises a harmonious dance of textures: the satisfying crunch of the toasted exterior meets the creamy, rich embrace of the melted butter, while the warm hint of cinnamon lingers like a whispered secret. This toast is not merely food—it’s an edible celebration of home-baked excellence, inviting you to savor a moment of graceful indulgence and comfort.

The universe is expanding into the future
A celestial highway of light unfolds across an infinite expanse. In the center of the scene, a pulsating core—glowing with warm golds and iridescent whites—acts as the heart of sapphic cosmic energy. From this core, streams of radiant light extend out like winding ribbons, each one representing a distinct moment in time. These beams twist and curve gracefully into the depths of space, evoking the sensation of a dynamic journey into an ever-approaching future. The background is a tapestry of nebulous color: deep emeralds, rich violets, and midnight blues intermingle to form swirling nebulae that hint at galaxies being born. Along these swirling clouds, delicate silver filaments thread through space, symbolizing the connective tissue of time that binds past, present, and future into one ongoing continuum. Ethereal motifs—like translucent, fading clock faces and abstract timepieces—dissolve into the cosmic mist, emphasizing that time is fluid, ever-changing, and beautifully mysterious.

The illustration features a vibrant, gigantic sunflower standing erect and facing the viewer at the center with bright yellow petals and a richly textured core. Surrounding this sunflower and in its shadow are elements inspired by the Inca civilization. To the left, there's a pyramid-like structure reminiscent of ancient Mesoamerican architecture, with figures dressed in traditional clothing standing in front of it, holding sunflowers. On the right, there are snow-capped mountains, reinforcing a sense of grandeur. They are taller than the central sunflower which is only like 500 feet tall but since they are in the distance they are smaller than it, perspective. Additional figures on this side are also holding suflowers and wearing some sort of brimmed hat, one looks more like a bowler the other looks like an Asian conical hat such as might be imagined to be worn by “Chinese peasants.” The background is dotted with twinkling stars and sparkles, lending the illustration a magical and celebratory tone. At the bottom, there's a text that says "RESPEECTUL & WIMINICUL" likely an artifact of the AI prompt used to generate it. #AIArt

The Dream Sequence for Sultan Caboose the Musical will include shrimps in fancy fur hats
Beneath a twilight sky on a fantastical railway, the scene unfolds like a page from a surreal epic. At the end of a gleaming train is the sentient caboose known as Sultan Caboose—an imposing, regal figure whose face spans nearly 12 feet in glorious embossed majesty. His enormous, bug-eyed visage, rich with the intricate details of Ottoman splendor, is crowned by a swirling turban that hints at a mysterious past of grandeur and power. Every contour of his face seems designed to astound, inviting both admiration and a hint of playful disbelief. Before him, arranged in a semicircular parade, is a delegation of shrimpskies. These tiny yet dignified denizens of the deep are clad in traditional Russian fur hats, their plush, artful headgear belying a refined heritage and the bubbling excitement of a crucial diplomatic summit. Their delicate antennas dance in the cool evening air as they approach with confident, measured steps—each shrimp a vibrant ambassador of whimsy, pride, and a dash of irreverence against the backdrop of majestic rail travel. The meeting is a delightful collision of the immensely grand and the deliciously diminutive. Sultan Caboose, with his quiet, methodical mechanical rumble, greets the shrimpskies with an expression that negotiates between ancient authority and cheeky charm. One brave shrimp named Micky Yastrzemski VII, its hat askew with the enthusiasm of the moment, steps forward in a respectful salute to the majestic caboose. In this enchanting tableau, imperial tradition meets playful irreverence, and history seems to pause in awe at the merging of two fantastical worlds. This vivid encounter—a celebration of eccentric leadership and the spirited resolve of the shrimpskies—is a moment of surreal poetry, where every detail sings of possibility and the unexpected joys of imagination. #AIArt On a fantastical railway under a twilight sky, the scene unfolds like a dream captured in time. At the very end of a gleaming caboose stands Sultan Caboose—an awe-inspiring figure whose enormous, handsome face, filled with a tender melancholy, dominates the view. His face is intricately embossed across the full width of the caboose, a 12-foot panorama of regal dignity, complete with a swirling, opulent turban that accentuates his Ottoman-inspired allure. Before him, a distinguished delegation of shrimpskies makes its approach. These sentient shrimp, each clothed in a traditional Russian fur hat, stride forward with quiet confidence. Their large, bug-like eyes, filled with personality and purpose, seem to reflect both the weight of their history and the promise of a new chapter. Together, their coordinated movement and earnest expressions create a surreal and enchanting tableau—a meeting of the diminutive and the grand, of the whimsical and the noble. This convergence, set against the soft luminescence of twilight and framed by the gentle clatter of mystical rails, offers a moment of exquisite contrast. It’s as if ancient majesty and playful spirit have found a common language, inviting us to ponder the delicate balance between memory and innovation, tradition and transformation. One might imagine this encounter as the opening scene of an epic narrative—where the rigid rules of physics gently bow to the capricious winds of surreal diplomacy, and where every character, be it the stately Sultan Caboose or the determined shrimpskies, carries with it a story waiting to be told.
