Over a toilet above brown tile going halfway up the wall, a screen-printed canvas reads “CELEBRATE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF” in the men’s room of Rocco’s Riverside Deli sandwich shop in Pueblo,CO.

[Harpo Marx was born Adolf (later Arthur) Marx on this day in 1888. Circa HORSE FEATHERS he was handing out nude photographs of himself as a gag; one was auctioned recently for $5,760. You can see it here, but I've warned you. (Thanks Teakagee!)]

To the right, a very colorful mosaic wall. To the left, behind a window, a block-lettered sign reads: “PLEASE NO CLIMBING, BICYCLES, SKATEBOARDS, OR ROLLER BLADES ON THE ROLL OF TOILET PAPER. THANK YOU.”

Well… I don’t know anything but I’ll sort of irresponsibly mention that Rod Stewart is a Palm Beacher. Kid Rock isn’t shall we say island material….

Overlapping patterns of black and white tiles on the wall and floor of the bathroom in Druff’s, a diner in a corner of the Woodruff Building, erected in 1911 by one of the two men who created the Route 66 highway plan.

A bathroom wall, covered in kinda nice earth-toned tile, in Central BBQ Downtown Memphis, adorned with black Sharpie-written letters “HA HA HA HA HA HA” in a sort of downward trajectory, toward the level of the toilet seat.

Possibly, but can we just hold up and consider what a "pasty parm" would actually be like? Cornish pasty,hard crust, stew-like savory filling, baked under layers of cheese and tomato sauce....

I remain convinced that so much of our present moment can be explained by the deep sickness of the social media/reality TV era and a lack of adequate mental healthcare to address the consequences of this increasingly addled world.

Better and more accurate coverage than from most of the #PopGen community I’ve seen so far, at least those I’m aware of… 🧪 🌱🐋

The local council denied any involvement in its creation and directed our questions to the shopping centre's owners, who have said it was "inspired by the work of Pieter Bruegel the Elder"

This is in response to the Christmas mural by a shopping centre in Kingston-upon-Thames. The owners have this comment. I urge you to through and judge for yourself.

It’s really revealing how the loss of actual skilled, paid editors combined with the rush to substack and similar platforms has shown the world just how unskilled most pundits and “journalists” (derogatory) are at what is ostensibly their job.

It’s freelancer panic season when you desperately try to work out where best to pitch work to in the hope of getting paid before Christmas.

They'Re Coming To Get Me
YouTube video by Jay Leonhart - Topic They'Re Coming To Get Me

Heard this today on the easy listening/Great American Songbook station in my elderly parents' car. Know nothing about this guy other than that he's a bassist and the album is from the 1980s.

It's kind of awesome, lyrically?

Neutrons and chromosomes. "Get" me.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

7) Michael Moorcock deserves a statue.

Dude is still alive and writing. Whichever town he's adopted should build a black sword about thirty feet high engraved with runes that casts a shadow like an enormous sundial counting down to the end of days.
