I can't find a title for this glorious painting of autumn Aspen, but it's by Oregon based (Ukrainian born) artist, Anton Pavlenko, and I love it 💛

A Trojan reggae compilation/dub comp would be a good overview, and anything by Dennis Brown/Gregory Isaacs, early Aswad, Marcia Griffiths, Toots &The Maytals, Culture, early Bob Marley & The Wailers, U-Roy. There are also dub versions of many of the above. Enjoy!

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five to speak to customer services,
Six to return to the main menu,
Seven to hear those options again

Cartoon of a social gathering. A man is talking to a vampire. The man says "Welcome, Count Dracula. Would you like a small aperitif?". The vampire replies "No, I think mine are just the right size".

🎶 Alfriston, oh, Alfriston
I still hear your sea winds blowing 🎶

Alfriston in East Sussex was once the centre of smuggling along the south coast.

It's believed that many of the local ghost stories that abound were conjured up by smuggling gangs to protect their contraband from any potential snooping eyes.

This is Dave. He has a smile that could light up a room. Only smiling with his bottom teeth right now so he doesn't blind you. 13/10 very considerate #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: jeffreybergstedt)

a close-up photo of a white dog, named Dave, staring into the camera with his mouth slightly open. there reveals approximately five teeth shining brightly.

our final photo of Dave who is no longer looking into the camera, but is now happily leaning his head back with his eyes closed.

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick
