A store with a sign that says “ADULT NOVELTIES - BJORK ALBUMS - MAGIC POKEMON YUGIOH - AIRSOFT GUNS”

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

Underneath the Radar still rocks, and I was only 9 when it was released

A scary faceless doll I found at a market in Devon (but didn't buy, as I value my sleep).

Do pop down to an antique market in the south west of the United Kingdom right now if you are looking for a faceless life size child doll to take back home, destroy your regular sleep patterns and transform your house into a place of constant demonic terror.

How I live my life!

Frenchman hospitalized after inserting WWI munition up his rear The shell, unexploded at the time of removal, resulted in the evacuation of the hospital, with an EOD squad called to clear the area.

I really shouldn’t have to say this, but… don’t put archaeological artifacts in your rectum. 🏺🧪

A duck or hen egg held in a wire display stand with the number 17 on the wall behing it.

Discovered during excavation of a midden in the High Street of Perth, Scotland - a completely intact one thousand-year-old egg! Dating to 1000-1100 CE, it was laid by either a duck or a chicken. Now on display @perthmuseum.bsky.social.

Weirdly, I once dated someone with a similar name. I had to double-check that it wasn't this guy. It isn't, thankfully. Anyway, the post is a screenshot that says: Chris Bakke ® @ChrisJBakke I've started joining every Google Meet 30 seconds early. When you join early, everyone's virtual note takers join early too. I spend the first few seconds screaming about how I'm on the Titanic, we've just hit an iceberg, the end is near, and I need immediate assistance. I then do the rest of the meeting normally. When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed transcript where the Al summary is: "Chris hit an iceberg, is trapped on a sinking ship, and general Q2 pricing updates"

Not all heros wear capes

Congrats on your NSV 😉

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

It reminds me of a carols service in 2016 in Sri Lanka where organisers accidentally printed lyrics to Tupac Shukar’s single ‘Hail Mary'

A letterpress card in cream with all caps writing: R.E.M. GAVE ME UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS FOR HOW I'D FEEL AT THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.

I feel I should bang the drum for this post, which hasn't received the love it deserves.

It helps to know that Jenrick's constituency is Newark.

Nobel Laureate, María Corina Machado presents some cunt with a massive board of Scampy Fries she nicked from a pub.

The bathroom scene from The Shining: recreated as 3D sculpted figure and cardboard, painted miniature set. in the foreground the axe has splintered a door panel and the tip of the blade pokes through. Behind it, Olive Oyl, mouth wide open, stands pressed against the far wall, one hand around her in a protective pose, the other holding a large kitchen knife.

Side view of the bathroom scene from The Shining: recreated as 3D sculpted figure and cardboard, painted miniature set. At left, the axe has splintered a door panel and the tip of the blade pokes through. At the right side of the bathroom Olive Oyl, mouth wide open, stands pressed against the far wall, one hand against the wall in a protective pose, the other holding a large kitchen knife.

This ingenious mashup of Shelley Duval’s Popeye and The Shining roles is such a great image. It’s not stop motion but you can really visualise the movement.
