Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.

This is the truest thing anyone ever wrote about Japan

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Generally though, the TV here is surprisingly dull. The vast majority of programmes consist of several seriously overexcited people sitting in an overlit studio decorated like a novelty grotto made from regurgitated Dolly Mixture, endlessly babbling about food. Seriously, it's all food, food, food. People eating food, answering questions about food, sometimes even just pointing at food and laughing. It's as they've only just discovered food and are perpetually astonished by its very existence. Imagine watching an endless episode of The One Show with the colour and brightness turned up to 11, where all the guests have been given amphetamines, the screen is peppered with random subtitles, and every 10 seconds it cuts to a close-up shot of a bowl of noodles for no apparent reason. That's 90% of Japanese TV right there. For a nation so preposterously hi-tech, it's a curiously old-fashioned approach to television. People talking in studios. Forever. Like it's the 50s. And yet it's insanely agitated: as though the participants are simply too wired to make a proper TV show, and have subsequently just switched the cameras on and started yelping. The adverts continue this vaguely old-school theme. There are plenty of super-sophisticated ones starring giant CGI cats and the like, but there's also a rather charming emphasis on dancing: people unpretentiously dancing and singing about the product on offer (generally a foodstuff, which presumably explains their terrifying level of excitement). It makes the Go Compare tenor seem subtle. Sedate, even.

THIS!!!!!!

(Former FM of Lithuania)
Gabrielius Landsbergis = @ @GLa...•2h X There is a glaringly obvious message for Europe in 1 the 28 point plan: This is the end of the end. We have been told repeatedly and unambiguously that Ukraine's security, and therefore Europe's security, will be Europe's responsibility. And now it is. Entirely. If you are a European leader asking your team to book you on the next flight to Washington to go talk to Daddy, please don't. Not without a plan, not cap in hand, not humiliating us all in front of the cameras at the Oval office. Europe is our continent, our future is decided here, not there. We aren't poor, we have options, we can finally decide to assist Ukraine to the full extent of our very extensive capabilities, restore European dignity and defend Europe. Or we can continue to wait for the miracle we now know is not coming.

Some shots from this month's roll for Eastern Standard Photo's film club. Each month we get a subject prompt and a roll of film and have to shoot it based on that concept. This month's was "motion" and the film was Ilford Delta 3200.

TESOL's position statement on "AI" is, as usual, a day late and a dollar short. It fails to define its terms, nods vaguely to "limitations and biases", and presupposes that "AI can sharpen and enhance our learning experiences" despite all evidence to the contrary. www.tesol.org/media/myuncu...

Some shots of Allegheny Cemetery from a photo-walk with folks from the Eastern Standard Photo community. Shot with a Yashica D on Kentmere 400 🎞️. The last grave is actually a late friend's. I didn't know he was buried there and was a little surprised to stumble upon it.

Hurricane Melissa has just broken the record for the driest eye ever observed in a tropical cyclone, with a temperature of -4.75°C.

This is nothing short of astronomical.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Now hear me out—

What if, I say, WHAT IF, William Burroughs was hired back in the wild and horny 1980s to write the script of a Moomin movie?

And it was bankrolled by a porn studio that was a money laundering front for a cocaine cartel so had an unlimited budget as long as there was bukkake in it?
