Erstwhile lab rat, current bon vivant. Insisting on persisting in this relentlessly roiling morass of madness. Love is real, Love is the Answer, Love is the fulfillment of the Law. We will fix our hearts, or die. Fun Fact: I love you all. Yes, even *you*.

We've gotten a lot of questions from fans on how to buy the Big Lizard in My Backyard 40th Anniversary release. You cannot buy it directly from us - we don’t have any to sell. If you're interested in getting a copy of the release - here's how Record Store Day works:

1. Go to the Record Store Day website and look for your nearest participating shop. Just enter your zip code. Here's the link: https://recordstoreday.com/Home

2. Contact your nearest participating shop and ask them to order a copy. As the Record Store Day site says: "There are a lot of independent stores that participate in Record Store Day. Not all of them will choose to participate in all promotions, or carry all releases. Just because a store is listed here does NOT mean it will have all the records you're looking for. That said, find a store near you and check with them directly. It's always a good idea to be BFFs with your neighborhood record store."

3. The day of Black Friday, November 28th 2025 - get to the shop early! Before they open! You'll probably have to wait in line with other record collecting fans. It's usually first come - first served. Good Luck!

Speaking of Those Behind Home Plate, what the fuck's up with that one defiantly orange Marlins guy, planted in a sea of white and blue?

Oh shit... he didn't evolve from the shoulder-shimmy guy, did he? Was that whole earlier wriggulation a realization of a Becoming? Sobering if true

Methuselah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years; and he died. But the third game of the 2025 World Series went on. 5:21–27

Whatever happened to that one guy in the stands behind home plate who was relentlessly shoulder-shimmying? Did anyone else see that? Did management exorcise a restless spirit?

one-out popups with runners in scoring position are unfortunate, but if you hit one at least 50 feet high you are awarded 100 in-game credits that can be spent on sunflower seeds or gum in the dugout shop. that explains most of these

The game going on for this long is actually a strategy that the Canadian military uses to take an adversary off their game before conducting a ground invasion.

This is gonna go into at least 20 extra innings. The players will become so acquainted that several marriages with occur ON-FIELD, resulting in a new dynasty of champions. There will be no winners, because they are all winners.

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

I would absolutely buy a print should such a commercial opportunity be made manifest, fun fact! Jeeez, it's such a brilliant example of, uhhh... typography as art? Are those the right words? Y'know, like... it's *letters*, but they make *art*... woah....

No, that's not it. Pfui.

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.
--
Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
