Is this a real language or has Trader Joe's outsourced their packaging design to AI?

Got this years ago when the record store I worked at was throwing it out unplayed, but I only ever rediscovered it when it would not be seasonally appropriate to play. Until now

Halloween sciientists are calling my theory that goofy costumes are actually more attractive than slutty ones "an amount of cope that is frankly incalculable"

I liked this more than Zama - Does the Pynchon trick of using a private eye structure to potentially interrogate paranoia and secret societies, but also is just about a dude indifferent to women's inner lives wondering if he's gonna kill himself while a woman tells him everyone's thoughts on suicide

Recently read these two novels about the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. Something interesting is it seems the losers really enjoyed fighting anyway. Sales wrote the better novel (the follow-up to one called Uncertain Glory I haven't read) and De Motherlant seems like a real POS

Really think certain panels from Ichiro Iijima's manga My Gorilla Family could be memes, but I don't really know what situations would be appropriate to use fhese as reactions

Maybe this will sound melodramatic but it strikes me (in the middle of the night) that such a scheme being undertaken by one of the true bastions of monoculture is the machinery of capitalism sowing the seeds of schizophenia among the populace

My idea a few months back was to dress up as this guy but maybe that's more dependent on fortuitous thrift store finds than will happen in the next few weeks. BTW, I just pulled my "Queer Marriage" cd-r out of a box to play

Longtime followers will know I love Don and Moki Cherry, spent New Year's Eve at home reading Neneh's memoir. More pics from the Moki Cherry retrospective

Moki Cherry exhibit at the Fabric Workshop is great. Worth visiting if you're in Philly during the next few months

Upgraded my sitting situation a few weeks ago and today the library obliges with the new reading material. Shadow Ticket rocks thus far, with a private eye/screwball comedy register I find very charming

Let's be honest, I probably just don't like autofiction. It's funny that "a married professor wants to sleep with a student" got called out as a fake premise for literary novels a month ago but we do see the wife's perspective on marriage ending here and it's not really any more interesting

Suffers for lack of a throughline besides disassociation. Sorta about getting crazybrain from COVID, sorta about cowriting a tv adaptation of previous memoirs, sorta about her husband having a horrifying health thing. Also a chapter written on mushrooms about Anna Karenina I would've cut.

I am drawn by @lale-westvind.bsky.social in this Philly Comix Expo flyer although her all primary color palette means i would not actually wear the clothes I am depicted in

Reading Marc Torices' Cornelius and not particularly enjoying it, though the art is attractive. There's a Chris Ware meets Olivier Schrauwen approach you'd think I love but it feels contrived rather than organic. Arguably the anxiety/loser bad vibes stuff is genuinely hitting and making me feel bad

A third of the way through this, good so far. In a post-cataclysm agrarian society, a rich person (sorta Harvey Weinstein coded) arrives in a functioning sci-fi vehicle powered by a nuclear reactor. Recommended to @lale-westvind.bsky.social

Every now and again I work in a classroom of autistic kids where one of them loves Spider-Man and I wonder if i could draw a Spider-Man good enough to impress a child, knowing all too well that the webs make it very hard. I actually don't think this turned out that badly

This is a fun thought experiment, though my own tastes run towards people I would largely want to see do their own thing. Tradd Moore is listed with an implied "he shouldn't write it though" disclaimer

I've mentioned it before but the Ginger Fox miniseries by Mike Baron and the Pander Brothers really is one of the coolest comics ever, certainly in the collaborative American genre comics subcategory. Like Elektra Assassin, it makes you think creators are held back when they can't afford cocaine

At the PMA I saw this Carol Janeway chess set I thought I'd post for the chess fans and this photo of her taken by Maya Deren I thought I'd post for the Deren heads. There were also some great paintings that didn't photograph well and some nice dresses I didn't bother to shoot in the show

Reread Gilbert Hernandez's SPEAK OF THE DEVIL and it's crazy how good that comic is, in terms of page-long scenes being juxtaposed against each other to build an escalating unpredictable plot. A masterclass in R-rated genre comics, keeping you at a distance from its characters.
