Friday Ephemera
Chicken footstools. You heard me. // Deboning chickens with robots. // Distil your own sugar beet vodka. // Avengers tech design. // The plumes of Enceladus. // Underpants of note. // Photographs by Shikhei Goh. // Fun with Photoshop. // Flavoured envelopes. // From tadpole to toadlet. // The Sun is not your friend. // Sunlight in Europe. (h/t, rjmadden) // Venus and the Sun. // In Search of Steve Ditko. // This is one of these. // This is Coffee, 1961. // Coping with loss in Wisconsin. // When the answer to narcissism is even more narcissism. (h/t, dicentra) // And remember, folks. Aaron Sorkin does not have a political agenda.

All good and proper Progressive-Projectionists must defend Warren’s house of cards, apparently, less it tumble into a domino effect and take their own with it.
Oh help me Lord. What a flashback! Not only do I remember that Rat in the Skull illustration, I owned the issue of IF.
I know it’s a cliche, but what do people like ‘Thistle’ see, when they look at themselves?
Their thought and speech patterns, and even bodily gestures are so reminiscent of small children? It’s like watching a left-wing parody of Potter’s ‘Blue Remembered Hills’.
Thistle: It’s, like, sooo unfair reality intervened in my mass delusion. How DARE you tell me that something which I didn’t want to happen has actually happened?
