Just one example of the sublimely ridiculous

WTF is this shit?
A zoomed in portion of the above photo of Italian partisans. A tall man with slicked hair and a moustache, wearing a trenchcoat, with a strap crossing his chest and a handgun apparently hanging from the strap. His hand is lightly holding the gun, presumably to stop it swinging. At first glance, however, it looks like he is holding the gun with 3 fingers by the handle with the barrel hanging down.

Update! ☹️👎
Screenshot picture of Hunny with text: Urgent need! I need $650 to pay my rent by tomorrow. I've been working but making no money (thanks gig economy!) Most of you know I'm disabled but I'm also in the trenches of waiting to find out some pretty life altering health news and working as much as I can through that. So losing my housing rn would be extremely detrimental. My venmo is HunnyDaniels My CApp is $hunnyd Repost, share, literally anything to help. I haaate posting this stuff but I'm kind of backed into a corner.

Dudes Rock
A zoomed in section of the painting "Thursday" by Walter Sadler. Four friars are standing together by a stream. One is kneeling with a net ready to catch a fish. One has hooked a fish with his rod and the other two are standing, holding their rods & apparently giving directions or encouragement to the one reeling in the fish.

I will always think of Peter Mullan as Syd.

"Sad Face"
Peter Mullan in "Children of Men" as Syd, refugee camp guard. He is demonstrating to the main characters how to impersonate new refugees.

Reminds me of this:

Credit: @katebeaton.bsky.social
A comic from Kate Beaton's "Hark, a Vagrant" Title: Tycho First panel: Tycho Brahe is looking through a telescope and says: "Kepler, the Sun orbits the Earth" Second panel: Kepler is standing behind Tycho. With a raised finger, he says: "What if the Earth orbits the Sun" Tycho, with an annoyed look, replies: "What if your wife orbits my dick" Third panel: Kepler is angrily looking down at Tycho who is once again looking through his telescope. Tycho: "I'm just sayin', I'm right"

"No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment,until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life is only the core of their actual existence."
#GNUTerryPratchett
Shortly before he died, Terry Pratchett assured me that, if there is an afterlife, he would give me a ring & let me know. That was ten years ago - and still no call. From which, incidentally, I draw no firm conclusions. What if there was an afterlife, but with no phone signal? But of course there is one place where Terry indisputably lives on: in the pages of his books and in the minds of the millions of readers around the world who turn those pages and continue to find them funny and true. For, while his words live on, so does Terry, and that will be the case, no question, not just for this one decade so quickly gone, but for many further decades to come. So let me join Lyn and Rhianna in raising a glass today to the magical persistence of books and to Sir Terry; gone but still so very firmly with us. - Rob Wilkins

Probably named after this guy specifically:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Po...
An excerpt from the linked wikipedia article: He had a stammer, which made him a very reluctant public speaker, believing that it hampered his political career. As Lord Duncannon, he was unkindly nicknamed "Dumbcannon".
