Whelp, I have a ton of the first batch they did, and I’m nabbing these too.

I listen to this song a lot, and did not realize the CD cover was a deer threatening to crop dust a rabbit.

Holy heck god damn is this book a fascinating read. The prologue hits the term “unalive” hard and compares it to so many ways we’ve softened words around death - including “deceased”.

Just a little ways through and fascinated.

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."

Yes, really.
