It’s just awful. So sorry that even paid workspace accounts don’t have an opt-out function. And so many spaces won’t have time or resources to migrate elsewhere, I know the library district I work for wont. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

A white-hot metal billet being picked up by a hook-billed lift with threatening eyes. The covers for the heat sinks are flat, impassive salamanders with distorted, contented, human faces.

A huge, horse-like bucket with a rolling human eye and scowling mouth offloads sparking hot molten metal into a mold in a long line of other molds, all of which have cartoonish human faces and human feet. They appear afraid and pained in anticipation, and the mold being poured into cries out

Molten metal being poured down a human-shaped funnel’s back into a furnace with a gaping mouth human and staring eyes. The bucket pouring the metal is devised like a smiling man’s head, with hands gripping and twisting its ears to let the molten cargo pour down its nose.

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh.

These illustrations are from β€œMachinalia.”

SAM NEILL

GENERAL JOHN MACARTHUR

If you were to commit a murder,

how would you do it?

It's got to be big! No slipping

something into someones drink, that's just

pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a

stain on the road. There's probably a couple

of people I'd put under a steamroller,

but I won't say who they are, otherwise

when they see a steamroller coming

their way they'll be on full alert. And

steamrollers don't go very fast...

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

I wish just once that one of these monied people would insult him just before the photo op. One can say something like "Vapid dipshit" with a smile on face and while gripping his paw.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I want someone to throw him off his "hottest country in the world" game and mention higher-ranking climate disaster areas. The way this guy stays up days in a row bumbling through new ways to brand himself in 80s terminology is astounding.
