The Film Optimist

Comic Title: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of The Mothman Description: a upright-standing bug-creature with human arms and a humanoid body, stands with its arms out. His bug-like eyes are red and glowing, his wings have subtle moth-like patterning. He has antennae, an armored body and joints, with gross hairs all over. Jokes: - When you’re an unholy terror, but you’re also kind of a huge nerd. (He’s less “Living Horror,” and more “Aggressively flopping near a person’s windshield” - Weighs as much as a medium-sized bag of leaf mulch - (Pointing at wings) His wings sound like a wet yoga mat being slapped against a garage door. - (Pointing at antennae) These babies pick up streaming channels he 100% didn’t pay for. - No neck! His head is just bolted directly onto his anxieties. - Relationship status: “IT’S COMPLICATED” (with a 60-watt G.E. bulb) - Spider-man gets a “Spidey-sense”. A “Month-sense”… but it only triggers when he’s disappointed his mother. - Likes: Flame. Dislikes: Um, flame —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

A flyer taped to a utility pole It features John Fetterman’s face with the eyes and mouth replaced by elements from American printed money , under the words “call your senator” and “I love bombing children with your money while you can’t afford healthcare “ and “call me” with his office number I assume

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

A photo of Rob Nero's "1-95": a mounted canvas with a stenciled picture of traffic on a highway and the words BE LIKE I-95 NEVER STOP WORKING ON YOURSELF NO MATTER HOW INCONVENIENT IT IS TO OTHERS

Two full pages of scribbles of varying size and density.

The trance filled two pages. 9/9

Silence and I YouTube video by The Alan Parsons Project - Topic

And fourth was “Silence and I” by the Alan Parsons Project — I didn’t realize until I had started this song that it’s nearly 8 minutes long. 8/9

A third page of scribbles. About the lower third of the page has a large, empty space where the scribbles tumble down the right side and resume across the bottom of the page.

The resulting page. For me, this was where I was starting to realize what, exactly, was going on and I entered a sort of automatic writing/drawing trance. 7/9

Medicine for a Nightmare YouTube video by Sun Ra - Topic

Song 3 was “Medicine for a Nightmare” by Sun Ra. 6/9

Another page full of scribbles, some with loops reaching waaay up into the above lines. Headed “Spaceman” - Harry Nilsson

The resulting page: 5/9

Harry Nilsson - Spaceman (Audio) YouTube video by HarryNilssonVEVO

Next up was “Spaceman” by Harry Nilsson. 4/9

A page full of scribbles headed “Cha Cha” - Sophie Hunter

The resulting page. 3/9

Sophie Hunter - Cha Cha (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Sophie Hunter

First up was “Cha Cha” by Sophie Hunter. Ink ran out in the last 30 seconds of the song. 2/9

I’m trying to improve my drawing again. Today’s exercise is “Marks with Music” — four pieces of music, four different genres. Just make marks to each of them. 1/9

So many people make things a problem when actually the answer is quite simple provided you’re willing to disrupt

Oil blockade? Why not simply have ChatGPT create some oil for you?

Arrrrgh. That error message is the worst.

Worth noting that on the screens where I was off, I was waaaay off -- but it was surprisingly few screens.

Decided to give this a try, and did a lot better than I thought.

This is a series that's been on my to-watch list *forever.* I should sit down with it some time.

Let's play two truths and a FRIENDSHIP ruining truth...🤫

Watch this clip.

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

A meme. One person, labeled "trans person," says "hi." The other, labeled "average transphobe," says "I'm thinking about your genitals now."

I'm lucky enough to have moved to a town where we have *three* within walking distance of each other. Well, lucky except for the impact on my bank account....

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

With K$H Patel trumpeting a "historic" summit between the FBI and the UFC, it feels like a good time to link to Super Eyepatch Wolf's video on conservative and Trump darling Andrew Tate and the padding of his MMA record. Link thumbnail hidden because of well-punched face. youtu.be/ieJOBFpS_lc

Jeff MMA: We've got the dummy on the ground, I'm going to teach you to strike.
Dave FBI: I saw this in your fight last month. Lots of crotch punches?
Jeff: Yeah! Don't be afraid to fight dirty!
Dave: Why didn't you-- [Draws gun and shoots dummy in the head three times]
Jeff: [Quietly pees his pants]

I have not always been the best with money but relax, this bottle of wine wearing a cape cost UNDER $18
