Eye of the Storm

"Jessica? No no no, she's nice but not my type. Also, she's gay. Go back."

The camera hesitantly moves focus off the cheddar and onto the person whose head isn't even in frame.

"There we go."

Cue the pan up to reveal a jacked 6'2'' queen.

I am a safety-first creature. Of all arguments against love none makes so strong an appeal to my nature as “Careful! This might lead you to suffering”.

There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.

But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

all the blatantly pornographic ads on tumblr were provided by google. all the ads for scam mobile games w ai-generated footage that looks absolutely nothing like anything ingame were provided by google. all the ads for social security scams on the weather app that i cant uninstall from my phone were provided by google

in other words, google does advertising for identity thieves and fraudsters in exchange for a cut of the stolen money. it isnt exaggerating to say that google is the linchpin of an entire industry of cybercrime that wouldnt exist if they were expected to moderate the ads they approve like any other advertising service does. billboard companies and tv stations dont get to profit from running ads for scams, why does google get a pass?

This Wednesday, Doaly flips out with his newest set of transparent film prints!

Bottleneck Gallery has teamed up with Doaly and WayneTech to create a set of Batman: The Animated Series prints that contain flippable transparent film that allow you to alter the images in awesome ways!

Using 30 micron transparent film, both Bruce and Harvey transform into their alter-egos with the flip of film paper. The results are phenomenal, and Doaly’s initial vision of bringing these unique Batman: The Animated Series to life for all of our Batfans and collectors. 

Doaly’s prints will be available on Wednesday (7/8) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!

My friend's brother has been found safe and sound. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share yesterday's post. It means a lot.
