  1. People of the Talisman - cover by Ed Emshwiller
    Listen! The Stars! - cover by Ed Emshwiller

    I love the tag lines for these -
    "Tune in on eternity -- and disappear"
    "Find the Gates of Death -- and live!"

    The style of these old covers is so weird. When I was young the weirdness was disturbing, like, why would someone want to add this weird ugly thing to reality? but now I'm into it, our minds get to play with whatever they want, it's fantasy and it's fun.

    Plus, the real world is well weird, too. Listen! The Stars! ✨

  4. Hoy terminé de "leer" mi primer audiolibro: la novela Las imitaciones, del uruguayo Ramiro Sanchiz. Como no lo conseguí en papel ni en digital, era la única forma de leerlo, y fue un buena aunque curiosa experiencia: no solo por sus casi once horas de audio, sino por ser literatura rioplatense leída con acento colombiano (ya que procedía de una edición hecha en ese país).

    Aunque es algo diferente, me hizo acordar a escuchar radioteatros, cosa que alguna vez hice de chico (me acuerdo de una versión de la novela de la revolución mexicana Los de abajo, de Mariano Azuela, que enganché una vez transmitida por Radio Municipal, y de haber escuchado muchas emisiones del clásico "Las dos carátulas" de Radio Nacional).

    Muy buena novela, por cierto, Las imitaciones, y central en el "Proyecto Stahl" de Sanchiz, que recomiendo fervientemente a quien guste de la ciencia ficción, el fantástico y sus derivas "weird", además de la literatura latinoamericana en general.

    Reincidiré seguramente en la audiolectura (ya le pegué el ojo a otros dos audiolibros de la misma editorial y temática que también se encuentran como este accesibles en plataformas de audio).

  5. The Imbabura tree frog (Boana picturata) is a species of frog found in western Colombia, northwestern Ecuador. They are often described as looking like they are from outer space due to their intense, large, black-streaked blue-grey eyes and unusual skin texture. They hide and sleep inside bromeliads—plants that hold small pockets of water.

  6. 'The musical will feature songs from Yankovic’s four-decade song-parody catalog including “White & Nerdy”, “Amish Paradise”, “Eat It”, “Smells Like Nirvana”, “Like a Surgeon”...'

  15. → Talking to 35 Strangers at the Gym (by @thienantran)
    thienantran.com/talking-to-35-

    “I had been conditioned to believe that initiating a conversation with a stranger was weird and it was tough to break free from that.”

    “Luckily, most people were receptive. I got a rush of dopamine whenever someone responded positively to my conversation, so talking to new people became strangely addictive.”

  21. Wistman's Woods, on Dartmoor, Devon, are allegedly haunted by hellhounds. 'Wistman' is a dialect word for the Devil, with 'wist' meaning 'eerie' or 'uncanny'. The woods and their legends are said to have inspired the Sherlock Holmes mystery 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. The woods are one of Britain's few surviving patches of ancient temperate rainforest. #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #gothic #literature #weird #ghosts #paranormal #books #history #mythology

  23. @phil_stevens
    Interesting, seemingly well-informed read (has the ring of truth & at any rate, better than the breathless stenography coming from the blowhard’s sycophants) - thanks for sharing 🙏🏻 A sample:
    “ The U.S. narrative that Iran’s leadership is balkanized and confused and desperate to make a deal but for the malign influence of the “hard liners” from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sabotaging it. “Again, they want to make a deal—they’re decimated. They’re having a hard time figuring out who their leader is,” Trump claimed on May 2.
    “Trump in turn assumes the role of the decider who flippantly dismisses Iran’s requests or suggests they are not yet good enough. “ They have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
    “Iranian officials tell a very different story. They view the Trump administration as disjointed, lacking in technical expertise, and in a constant state of chaos as the administration struggles to reconcile U.S. interests with the Israeli agenda and a complete failure to win in either the military or diplomatic arenas.”

    Such a weird statement: “They have not yet paid a big enough price…” - meaning??? Not enough profit yet made?

  24. Someone From The Past, Fahrelnissa Zeid, 1980

    I put this up because I think it's good! and also because it compares to the one before this in the sense that the person in this one is almost distorted in the opposite way, where they are hidden under layers of arbitrary socialization? I don't know if that really makes sense but that is what my head is doing with this stuff right now. The other one exposes the free animal sense experience of a child and this is like the same level of exposure of a socially limited and well-trained adult of the same species. Ok enough out of me, good day to you all
