Yeah, sorry man

Good lord, I was fucking around the other night and I think I made cheesey tator tot poutine with ham. 🤤

Airbnb’s co-founder is joining Elon Musk’s DOGE Gebbia, a close friend of Musk, has praised DOGE’s work and defended it against criticisms on social media

I'm just going to put this out there... Apparently VRBO is cheaper even. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

ELEGNT: Expressive and Functional Movement Design for Non-Anthropomorphic Robot Nonverbal behaviors such as posture, gestures, and gaze are essential for conveying internal states, both consciously and unconsciously, in…

Remember the lamp at the start of Pixar movies? This demo video of a prototype robotic lamp with expressive movements kind of made my morning. You'll see why if you watch it to the end, it's short. machinelearning.apple.com/research/ele...

Very dapper!

New idea for a pub: The Politician's Prostate.

Irish pubs got nuthin' on a name like that.

Who wants a Reese’s Ballsack? #kinkhumor

A toilet seat lid with a demonic looking skull

I think one of the worst feelings of dread might just be when you flush a toilet and see it starting to fill instead of draining. Tell me I'm wrong.

I’ve been studying German again lately and while I’m utterly indifferent to snails, every time the German word for it comes up, it tickles me: Schnecke (sh-neck-uh or shneckuh) the plural is Schnecken. I like it too much.

Artwork by Banksy. A little girl sitting and looking at a bird. The text above her says "If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit"

I shared this with a friend today and thought it's worth sharing in general.

Wise words: If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.

It hangs on the inside of my apartment door to remind me whenever I go outside. I don't always see it after a while, but when I do, it's there to remind me.

Sitting around listening to Rick Beato interviewing Rick Rubin tonight. Playing around with some Gelli printing experiments. I have no idea what I might do with this process but right now it's all just FAFO.

Parody of the movie poster for The Exorcist. At top is says "The Dyslexorcist" at the bottom it says "Your mother cooks socks in hell"

I'm not on Threads but this came across on another profile of mine that I thought it was worth sharing. TLDR; Being overwhelmed right now is the point. www.threads.net/@itsjennifer...

Yesterday we had *another* guy moving around the corners of the intersection I live on who was just ranting about whatever. At first I let him go and he eventually left. When he came back later, I decided it was time to do some leaf blowing. As did the manager of the building next door. Perfect.

Leaf blowers (1/2)

Say what you will about leaf blowers (lord knows I've bitched about them) but every now and then they're the perfect weapon.

I'm seeking venture capital for a new dance troupe to honor those who have passed on and perhaps overstayed their welcome. It's called Restless in Peace.

Only because the dems stopped sending hurricanes at them?

I've always been envious of people who can create in spite of or in response to their pain. I think it's miraculous and I've never been able to do it, I've always just shut down sadly. I'm feeling more of a push to try lately though, it might be how I'm going to make it through the next few years

A desaturated mountain view of grass and boulders with larger peaks in the distance against a dramatic sky. Text of a poem is overlaid on the image. It reads: We’ve made it through the storm Emerging on the other side The music plays and lifts our hearts The battle’s won The damage done Sun shines through lingering clouds Reveals the scars and shows the peace The minor key, its beautiful dissonance A new song for what’s to come Carrying the memories of what’s undone Breathe relief for we’ve made it through Not unscathed but yet we still survive Nonetheless We have our wounds

Most recently, here's a thought/poem I had just about a week ago. It's not *literary* but I do like what I think it evokes. You'll have to decide what that is for yourself.

An autumn leaf against a concrete section of roadway

A park setting in false color showing a church steeple and radio towers

The bow of a cargo ship docked in Elliot Bay Seattle against a cloudy skyline

I also used to randomly go exploring for photos to take and share but haven't done that in years.

Crafted tentacles sprouting up to display a collection of horror themed Christmas ornaments. An alternative Christmas tree.

I'm quite proud of this goofy tentacle Christmas tree I made a couple of years ago. All the ornaments are from horrornaments.com

Clay sculpture of a monster facing directly at the camera

Clay sculpture of a monster, left side of face

Clay sculpture of a monster, right side of face

One of my more recent and currently paused explorations has been sculpture. This was in service of becoming a latex mask one day, which never happened. :-p

A steel welded teapot shaped like a pyramid. Its handle is a large circular curve and the spout is curved and pointed backwards toward the body of the teapot

A stainless steel shelf designed to be clipped onto the side of a bathtub. It holds seven tea lights with space in the center for whatever you need during a bath

I've tried welding a couple of times and among other artful trinkets I have these: A artful tea pot and a functional bathtub shelf which I still use.

A painting of text. The letters r-u-o-k are concentrically stacked in the center with the word "sometimes" around the perimeter. Two branches of leaves are across the bottom

A painting of dark red swirling colors and the word "putrid" in the middle with an alternate, unpainted definition underneath being: the rotting essence of excessive self defense

A painting in pink and blue (washed out in photo). Two words are completed with many flourishes which are: Anodyne Fucker

I thought I might start with some introductions and stuff n junk I've explored and made over the years.

I haven't painted in quite a while but here are a few, both finished or not. All taken in horrible lighting conditions. :-p
