Mining fools' good since before you were born. I can either tell you who I am, or show you who I am, but on social media it's tough to do both.

For the last two days I've felt something strange, like I had a bend in my shoe... so tonight I decided to see what the problem was.

There was a cat toy crammed in the toe.

This Guy likes playing in my shoes during the night. I've been walking around with his toy in my shoe... 😸

I'm only posting this because they're bribing me with extra points to do it. I am so close to dropping this miserable app, but the Sunk Cost fallacy is tough to beat.

Plus, there seem to be no other free apps that offer my set of less-popular languages in one place. Damn it.
Duolingo says I am in the top 0.1% of people learning languages badly from a deeply flawed and infuriating system. Uh, yay?

Share someone who looks stylish wearing a vest.
Tenniel's illustration of the Jabberwock from Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem "Jabberwocky", showing the beast whiffling through the tulgey wood, as the young hero wields his vorpal blade. The dragon-lije winged monster is also wearing a buttoned-up vest.

Here's a fun addendum: the Richard Matheson/John Hough classic, and an underrated little New Zealand movie that's like a really good, low-budget, community theatre production of HELL HOUSE, minus the sex and without a glimmer of hope at the end...
Poster for John Hough's THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, with Pamela Franklin and Roddy McDowell Poster for THE DEAD ROOM, showing a run-down house in the New Zealand countryside at night, with all its windows lit... and an old car with a bloody handprint on it (which does not appear in the movie) parked out front.

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

The three spirits:
Joel mimes a trumpet fanfare as he convinces Tom Servo to be a Happy King ("doot doo doo Doo do DOOO!"), while Crow is dressed in a jester's costume as Sir Giggles von Laughs-a-lot, after the three of them have just survived the ordeal of watching MONSTER A-GO-GO

Matt Groening rewrote the pledge many times in the 80s and 90s, and any version will do.
A Matt Groening LIFE IN HELL strip from 1991. Bongo, a little boy rabbit with only one ear, is seated at his school desk. A voice off-panel says, "Please rise for the flag salute." Over the next 6 panels, Bongo says: "I pledge impertinence to the flag-waving of the unindicted co-conspirators of America, and to the Republicans for which I can't stand, one abomination, underhanded fraud, indefensible, with liberty and justice forget it." He concludes with, "Heh-heh." In the last panel, his teacher, a weasel in a suit and tie with a vaguely Hitleresque hairdo, enters the panel to glare at Bongo. Bongo, abashed, mutters, "Just kidding."

That's a Francis Bacon reference, isn't it? I haven't seen the movie, but I feel like I need to now.
A Francis Bacon painting of a screaming meat beast -- all mouth and ears on a long phallic neck connected to a body like a side of beef -- perched on a table in a room with blood red walls and floor Another screaming Bacon meat beast, this one standing on a peninsula of what might be grass or blades -- who knows? -- against the same type red walls and floor.
