With the possible exception of JK Rowling, who missed the point of the Harry Potter books.

Bus typo: Help us score the gift of life, DONATE BLOOB

BLOOB FOR THE BLOOB GOD!

A model poses in a black denim outfit with puffy-legged jeans that make her look bow-legged and an insane matching jacket with puffy sleeves. Even she cannot make it look good

So I went looking for a pair of jeans and this "barrel" style is everywhere. WTF??
Is this an ode to the bandy-legged cowboy? Ricket-chic? Who is buying these? The models can't even make them look good 🤣

The PC DOS version of 'Allo 'Allo! Computer Fun! may have been released, but no copy had ever surfaced. Until now. Preserved from original master disks for the first time from Games That Weren't:

This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

Naming my security company after the giant evil eye that, crucially, was too distracted to see the actual threat sneaking in

Didn’t work exceptionally well for the Lusitania…

From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Stylised painting of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. She's got a white Hoth snow suit on and wears her hair in a braided crown. She smiles brightly to the left.

‘All hail the cactus’: Massive turnout for bizarre CBD event Thousands of teenagers flooded Forrest Place on Saturday afternoon to ‘hail the great cactus’ in a bizarre display of devotion to the iconic CBD sculpture.

If you put a public artwork in a city, this kind of community engagement is a dream come true. And we should be encouraging more of this wholesome absurdity in our teenagers. All hail the cactus! 🌵

whoever this is, they are amazing

What do we think writing IS? What is an author? Why bother, if you don't want to write, if you are not challenged and exhausted and exhilarated and electrocuted in the doing of it?

You can make a movie for no money! Just get locations for no money, actors for no money, cameras for no money, sound for no money, costuming for no money, lighting for no money, feed everyone for no money, & get it seen for no money.

Oh, & everyone working for FREE has to be great at what they do.

Artwork I painted for the novel "Sister of the Lake" by Olga Ptitseva + sketches

A collage of three pictures of Neva waiting for me to throw a toy. She first looks impatient, then looks serious and then there's a bigger picture of her looking silly with her tongue out.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Oops.
Looks like we missed one.

A cute figurine of a bear made from amber. It looks like a gummy bear

A figurine of a hippo with a hole in his back and a loop of gold going through the hole. The figurine is made of a transparent glassy material. Rock crystal, perhaps. It looks not unlike a Foxe's glacier mint.

A carved bust of a bearded man in a brown material, against a red background. If you told us it was carved from chocolate, we wouldn't argue.

A figurine of a hippo in a green material (nephrite, apparently, whatever that is). It looks like it could be a wine gum, but one of the green ones that no one really likes.

Today we will be mainly posting pictures of artefacts that look like sweets. 🍬🍫
