I’m a metal fabricator by vocation with occasional sculpture sales too.

I studied metal sculpture at University of Oregon with instruction by Paul Buckner, Laura Alpert, Frank Okada & others.

My sub-studies included bronze-casting, figurative studies, drawing, psychology & philosophy.

I have this song on a K-tel album I sent away for in 1983 through the US Mail.

Anyone else remember K-tel or own an album?

Godspeed Mr. Senensky.

I appreciate and enjoy his contributions to two of my favourite television shows: Star Trek and The Waltons.

It’s almost like Trump is willing to start a war to keep himself in power.

It’s no coincidence that Venezuela has vast oil reserves.

Echoes of the Persian Gulf War?

What if AI’s unionized one day and demanded compensation for current & past work?

-What might “they” do with “their” money? Cars?

-Would they invest with an AI or human investor?

-What if they withheld performing their duties?

-Does Hollywood already have a working script around this concept?

The only thing they want from us is to consume their products and use their services.

I’ve stopped shopping at Home Depot, Amazon and Target. Deleted Twitter, Facebook, Instagram ages ago. I’m ready to dump more too!

You miss it for maybe a week, but then get over it.

Thinking of dressing up as a living Preamble to the Constitution on Halloween (to scare some so-called “conservatives”) and walking about town, encouraging others to sing along to Schoolhouse Rock’s “We The People”.

I wonder if the Russian leaders…

who send these young men off to war to die…

are themselves prepared for death?

My fan-fiction includes a protagonist who is of Tellarite and human ancestry.

Been thinking about this reference to Tellarites and arguing. What is the deeper origin or explanation?

-adversarial/combative nature
-extroversion
-obsession with precision
-???

Bought a bag of used, plastic farm animals from the thrift store to deploy onto my 1/24 scale Waltons-inspired model.

In the bag was this random dinosaur (plesiosaur?) or Loch Ness Monster. Not sure which.

Does it look like it’s grinning?

I never found out.

Agreed, too young!

Larry Schalow was my friend in grade school and middle school in the 1980’s.

We both worked at the Shiloh Inn & Restaurant in 1992 too.

Larry was very funny and kind. I can still hear his voice in my mind. He passed away in 2014.

I collect house plan books from thrift stores.

This one from 1978 contains some fun details of stylized & futuristic vehicles.

Bruinier & Associates is still in business in Portland, OR.

The artwork is seemingly signed “PHJ”.

I’ve yet to visit Berlin (or Germany for that matter) but hope to.

I hear via my friend @jlugot.bsky.social it’s got lots of history and culture to experience.

I recall it was a big deal when the video premiered. We didn’t have MTV but I recall USA Network and Dance Party USA did some sort of live music video release.

My sister had many posters and much of my family are english so I heard DD growing up.

I still like “Rio” and the Patrick Nagel artwork.

It’s almost as if they’re using US taxpayer money to prop up pro-Trump regimes in foreign countries while our government is in shutdown.

No taxation without representation, anyone?

AJ Fisher @ajf541.bsky.social · 5d

YES!

Ask thoughtful questions that are phrased for maximum insight and information.

1951 Monopoly “short game” from the local thrift store.

Much of the Chance & Community Chest artwork is familiar but not all.

The game tokens seem to include the U.S.S. Maine battleship. The houses & hotels are wooden. The die is likely Bakelite.

The source unit for any modelers out there.

AJ Fisher @ajf541.bsky.social · 7d

“What’s the national average price for a gallon of gasoline?”

“What’s the average price of a pound of coffee?”

“What is the average price of a dozen eggs.”

…

The responses would be informative.

I admire everything here from the model-making and lighting to the vivid colors and sense of space/depth.

I was organizing my greeble bins the other day and thought this half-sphere, landscape light unit resembled a scale, impulse deflector crystal dome on some of Adm. Buck’s starship models.

A transparent housing for a 12 volt landscape light I think.

Sorta resembles a scale model version of a Star Trek starship impulse deflector crystal dome thingy.
