Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Damn you got a pervert cat too?

I have to be honest with regard to Ozempic face, I don't understand how looking like the dude from Poltergeist II is more desirable than being a little portly

I have vivid memories of being in 10th grade and watching Renee Zelwegger go on the talk show circuit and get called brave for daring weigh 155 pounds in that movie and being like 😐 because I definitely weighed more than that. Anyway I wish weight loss ads weren't fucking everywhere again

Today it was snowballs. Tomorrow, someone could paint a black circle on the side of a mountain, causing our officers to drive the train into the mountain, turning the train into an accordian that plays a sad little tune indicating that the officer has been seriously injured

Wow

Woke 2 needs to include a complete and total purge of post-GG 4chan influence on our culture.

Black sweater with teeth and dental health stuff in sequins on it

My daughter’s dentist today was wearing this sweater with sequined dental health stuff on it and when I told her I liked it she said “thank you I think more things should have teeth on them”

costco's CEO also understands his job to be, at least in part, "make sure the Memphis store's ketchup dispensers are full" and not like "forge strategic partnerships to leverage the customer experience to monetize new revenue streams" or whatever that normal CEOs seem to focus all their time on

Sanho Tree @sanho.bsky.social 9/29/2023 My father was a civil engineer during construction. I remember visiting his office in the 70s and he showed me plans for the Metro ceiling arch he was working on. He calculated the depth of each of those blocks that make up the station ceilings (thin up top, thick at the base). They held up well! Claire @isolinearchip.bsky.social This is so cool. Your dad did beautiful, iconic work that I admire every time I ride the Metro September 29, 2023 at 11:17 AM

Everyone go tell Sanho Tree how much you like his dad's work

People bitch about bluesky but one of my earliest interactions was me gushing about how beautiful and calming the DC Metro stations are and having a guy show up and say "Oh, my dad designed those, I'm glad you like them". Bluesky, where I can pass on my personal thanks for incredible urban design

Part of the process of formally writing something down like this is to examine your own argument as you go and realize that oh shit, this position sucks actually, and then stop writing about it and fix yourself. I cannot imagine being so self-confident as to skip this critical step

It's a metaphorical doldrums for the reader so that we, too, find ourselves floating, unmoving and powerless, in the middle of our story

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

And having to pause and/or rewind the audiobook if I needed or wanted to reread something or spend a few moments really thinking about what I'd just read, appreciating the passage, spending time with the mental image, etc. No thank you!

I do not care for this 😞

That's Domhnall Gleason, so in this case the lab would be noted Irish actor Brendan Gleeson's wife I guess

(He's looking especially rubbery here but he's a legit actor that you've almost certainly seen in things)

CHARLIEEKIRK SHOW LIVE Charlie Kirk ASTRY DEA

Hmm.. I don’t think so

Ask your doctor about Spalexma

It's giving dumb arguments with my friends in middle school about whether or not the Marilyn Manson Mechanical Animals album cover was real

One of those days where I feel body weird in a very abstract, background kind of way, like I forgot something important or am a kid who's in trouble. Neither is true so what gives, self? Knock it off.

I made an exact as possible replica of General Order 6 with it. So much custom kerning.

at its peak the show did more in 15 seconds than some do in their entire run

"Publisher sucks actually" Well maybe, but I am really good at using it

Goddammit they're retiring MS Publisher. I've been using that fucking program for 30 years. You can get so precise making mockups and wireframes and fake newsletters when you're 12 and weird things that need super specific layout and text spacing and placement. MS Publisher, you have been a friend 🫡

Real 1945 Luftwaffe vibes
