Whitecaps fans gather in a nearby pub before the game.

A portion of a large crowd at an indoor stadium, displaying a huge banner. Left of the banner is text “fire that burns”, center is a vaguely Tolkienesque photo of scary reptilian eyes, right is text "blue melts gold"

Whitecaps fans parade cheerfully down Granville, singing dopey songs and chanting dopey chants.

Above them is a wall with Chinese text promoting socialist values: “Prosperity, Democracy, Civility; Freedom, Equality, Justice, Rule of Law; Patriotism, Dedication, Integrity, Friendliness.” Vines and leaves hang over the wall, partially obscuring the text. The contrast between the ideals and the bins may suggest social commentary. The image feels aged and contempl…

A black-and-white image shows a shelf with several bottles, each in its own partition. The bottles have screw caps and labels; one features Chinese characters and a cow image, possibly indicating a dairy product. The shelf surface is worn and grimy. The juxtaposition of everyday items creates tension and mystery.

Heads up Mastodon! I am doing a small European tour with Peter Gordon (Love of Life Orchestra) at the end of November. We'll play Glasgow, London, Cologne, and Brussels. These shows will be great fun, and a very rare chance to catch me playing live music outside the US.
If we know each other here, let me know if there's a possibility to meet up in person at one of these shows?!
Tickets and info here:

In the third panel, the blue pony returns to a shocked pose, with the text “WHOMST'D THE FUCK”.

this is the funniest fucking image to me for some reason

A picture of a slightly off looking figure of the Pokémon "Ditto". It is a pink blob with two small, black dots for eyes and a small black line for a mouth, forming a sort of neutral and disinterested expression. It is sitting on a plain white surface and text has been added digitally to the image, below the figure. The text is plain, black, sans-serif, and simply reads "Bootleg".

Modern historians of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire mostly agree upon one explanation for the Republic’s collapse – namely that the enormous loot from Rome’s conquests created a class of incredibly wealthy oligarchs who were too wealthy and powerful to be constrained by republican norms, institutions and laws.

A black-and-white photo of a dimly lit bar or restaurant interior. In the foreground, a row of cushioned bar stools with metal legs lines a wooden-paneled counter.

thumbing through used records at underground sounds, found b.b. king's very first LP, a 1957 compilation of hit singles from 1951 to 1956. fifteen bucks. wow.
