Thanks. I had forgotten about the one in the wash, though.

If it's in the wash, it doesn't exist

gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining

because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe

and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us— we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them

and then

we built robots?

and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image

and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone

but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?

the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.

and they told us to tell you hello.

Since it's the day for all mothers, shouldn't it always be Mothers' Day?

I was thinking the same thing.

Interestingly the author's name is not Jonathan Swift.

Composing Movement video

That was very interesting. Makes me want to storyboard.

Title may be NSFW but the video totally is SFW, so I am putting this in a spoiler.

I have never seen a can squashed as perfectly as that one.

Ahh, oddly satisfying.

You know that house you pass when you get lost on a back road?
Every back road in Pennsylvania has one.

The house the forest has been lazily trying to reclaim since the day it was built, tucked neatly between somewhere and nowhere?

You know the one I mean.

It’s just a house, of course. You tell yourself that it’s just a house, anyhow. You’re a rational person, and it’s just a regular house. There’s a suburb like a mile back, for Christ’s sake. You’re not exactly stranded. Just lost. It’s late, and you need to turn around.

The porch is a heap of deer skulls and axes and water-logged indoor furniture, and you try to slow your breathing. Plenty of people hunt. Plenty of people chop firewood. Plenty of people survive turning around in someone’s driveway, so why are you being such a baby? What are you afraid of?

And surely it’s a safer place to reset your GPS than the… Well, what must have been a farm, once… up the road. With its single, emaciated horse and its howling, feral cats and its tetanus-trap of vine-choked, scrap-ravaged cars.

Surely this is safer, you think.

And you’d be right, most nights.

I mean, there’s an even chance you’ll be pulling chunks of deer out of the grille of your car if you panic and drive away too fast, but that’s not the house’s fault. That’s just Pennsylvania for ya’.

Most nights, everything is perfectly fine, and you’ll laugh it off as sleep-deprived paranoia and arrive at your destination unscathed and unchanged.

But every so often… If the sky is clear and the air is crisp, and you listen very carefully, you’ll hear me…

I’m there, you know…

Perched on the roof, just outside of your view, just fuckin’ shreddin’ on this toy accordion I got on Craigslist for ten bucks. Just, like, reallllly goin’ at it like you would not believe, whispering, “Hell yeah,” every few measures.

I’m getting pretty good, actually.

I saw this post on The Frogman, and thought I'd see if I can find the resulting video. On one hand, the finished product looks cool. On the other hand, the dude just poured molten aluminum into an insect colony. That beats the living hell out of that sadistic kid with the magnifying glass:
