i got 2nd place in this year's peep diorama contest for my entry PEEPTURN TO OZ: Princess Mombi and her Hall of Heads. This is of course based on the core traumatic memory many of us have from Return to Oz:

here's my entry from last year based on The Menu.

Trying to think of who else would be in this and all I can think of is Glenn Shadix as Piter the Mentat

If a child was born today in 2024 to successive generations that all had their child at 18:

Parents: born 2006

Grandparents: born 1988

Great grandparents: born 1970

Great great grandparents: born 1962

I say this as someone whose grandparents served in WWII: wtf

always jarring to realize how contemporary grandparents are these days—my clients this evening were talking about doing research on the 1950’s to help their granddaughter with Decades Day at her school and I was like tf but the 50’s are the grandma era…. how can you be a grandma and not remember the fifties?!

I’ve never had the experience of wanting to look at him but I’d love to have seen the days-long face journey Trump surely experienced during this process

Here's one I bet Tumblr would enjoy, Edwin Landseer's 1864 "Man Proposes, God Disposes" imagining the aftermath of the 1846 Franklin Expedition with a couple of polar bears rooting around for tasty explorer meats. NOTE the painting is rumored to be cursed so that anyone taking an exam in front of it will fail (apparently the gallery it's in is used as an exam room?); there's also an unsubstantiated urban legend about a student stabbing themself in the eye with their pencil during an exam and scribbling "the polar bears made me do it" on their paper, but there's no evidence this ever happened.

"The Spanish Singer" by Manet, 1860. NOT actually a painting of a guy wearing jeans and old Reeboks like I initially thought.

Now you wanna talk about who’s dish champ, I gotta go with Noxious Tee himself, Travis Noxalone. I know Gino “Leapfrog” Semprini’s got him beat on Y-tags after that matchup against Cincinnati last week but Tee’s got the vertical, he’s got the dark points, he’s got the guard motive. I think if Coach Taggart could smooth out his G-game in the larboard he could be hanging six, seven shakers per tri even on a backwoods pop like Hargreaves tried to swing last week, but as it is already, Tee’s drive score is a 14.7, which is better than we were even seeing from Vitruvius Jones back in ‘74. We haven’t seen a hangnail swing like this since Kelley’s famous “pepper trolley” during the series against Fauntleroy in ‘91 and I think that is just so exciting for the fans.

Me: hey man how’s it—

Sports guy: see now Greyhampton is the league ATP GOAT, hands down. Terry Jute might be able to catch up if Bobbins would put him in more during free chucks or at least hot zone plays but he’s such a snifter about BPK I doubt he can really catch up. Gaskin leads the East Coast teams on meters and D-pointers the last six terms and Noidel might even be able to beat Jute’s term legend for the West Coast, but Central has the highest YN counts and that means Bronski can char his PLO all he wants but he’s never gonna take the ultra from Mister Jeremy Clove. That just leaves Randall Haitch and Iceman Barnes from three seasons ago as competitors for division glip boss as long as Torres doesn’t dip Basingstoke in the third half against Melmark in the semis.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. “A mutant, the results of centuries of inbreeding” but in the Marvel sense of mutants???

That opens SO much weird worldbuilding. Turns out that “noble blood” so many aristocracies were inbreeding to preserve was just secret superpowers

It does, they’re just temporary ones made mostly of the wind

i think the world would be a lot more interesting and worth living in if it spontaneously generated a gigantic monster every now and then. i mean really gigantic, like multiple stories tall. skyscraper sized

“Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo” is precisely as ridiculous as the title makes it seems; it works on oldschool Musical logic and the classic “gotta save the community clubhouse from greedy developers” plot except instead of Broadway showtunes it’s electro breakdancing, which somehow makes the whole thing even cheesier.
