The black wall with a small section of red wall in the red room.

At this point, the nearly $400 charge for having to refuse acceptance of a dumpster (because I didn’t know I needed a permit) has been waived (because I didn’t know I needed a permit). We’ll see if it sticks.

After speed talking my way through a recap of dumpstergate, I told the tale of the red room.

Well, more like the tale of having to paint the red room. Our realtor thought it would be best to freshen up the upstairs rooms, bathroom, and hall; and our cute (small) kitchen. we figure he knows what he’s talking about, so…

Painting we will do.

He appear in at least one issue of a Marvel Comics comic book. He may have had other appearances, but he was for certain in Marvels’ Super-Villain Team-Up issue #7…

There he is chumming up to DR. Doom,

“After starting the process last July, my wife and I finished getting our house ready to sell. Everything is out (with the exception of a couple items that will be removed before close – hopefully soon), everything has been cleaned (as clean as we’re gonna get it), and all the exterior work is done.

“Too much freedom”…?

Oh, Henry. For shame.

The Screaming Blue Messiahs

A bumper I used for coming back from my second break got me talking about the seriously underappreciated band from the UK – The Screaming Blue Messiahs. Their opening for The Cramps (I talked about them last week) at First Avenue way back in the late 1980s (their only appearance in Minnesota) was incredible. The band’s live show was a revelation.

Go to this video to get a taste of their live show.

AI. Again.

It’s spreading more and more on social media. AI created images being passed off as real. This might be a dangerous thing as AI gets better.

I suppose those fellows could all be 4 feet tall.

The above photo might not be AI, it might just be Photoshop, but it ain’t real. No horse has ever been that big.

And this amazing statue also seems to be AI fakery.

The Snopes article about the fake Samson photo (at link above) notes that AI has trouble rendering hands. Well, just look at the hands in this photograph. There’s more weirdness there.

People keep falling for this fakery.
