At least the social media posts were made with such obvious care

Got rained out of Renn Faire yesterday. There was a thunder and lightning storm and we were evacuated to a rodeo barn on the fairgrounds. Me pirate hat was more of a bucket during the storm.

Ahoy and avast. A white guy with a short beard is drinking a hard cider in a way that looks like product placement. It’s dumping rain and you can tell. I’m wearing a pirate hat and a Hawaiian shirt

Haven’t actually posted a selfie in awhile so here’s me at a bike community event on Thursday

White guy with dark hair, a short beard and metallic transition glasses. I’m wearing a blue aloha shirt. That almost said “alpha shirt,” wouldn’t that be embarrassing. My hair looks perfect here. Man, I’m pretty.

We self promo enthusiastically on Bluesky! My name is Ben / Sufficient Owls and I run @infinitybreak.net, a small queer focused podcasting network. I stream, I DM a horror tabletop show and I’m working on developing an audio fiction drama! 🎙️ I help make everything below ⬇️

A white guy in a red Aloha shirt, wire frame glasses with a close cropped haircut. Black baseball cap. Short facial hair. You can’t tell but he’s standing in front of a model of a thatched roof cottage at a theme park.

A chapter graphic for ParaScience Chapter Seven. "ParaScience" in white text at the top of the graphic in a serif font evocative of a Stephen King paperback. "Chapter Seven" in a thin white sans serif font with wide kerning. A trifold museum brochure is laid out on a table, opened up. Another brochure is laid on top of that one. The foreground one has a splash of blood on the edge. Around both brochures are an assortment of pens, two coffee cups and a laptop.

On the foreground brochure is an image of a modernist multi-tiered house. The words "Self Portrait No. 13" "A ParaScience Mystery" "Come Visit" "I want to show you what I've made"

On the folded out brochure, there is a creepy photo of a dark room and another photo of a facial sculpture with an assortment of paint brushes sticking out of the top. The final photo is of a man wearing glasses who is completely obscured by back lighting. The text of the brochure reads: "MAURICE. Maurice Clayborn knows art. He’s dedicated his life to the pursuit of something greater. Now, in his latest exhibition.." From there, it dissolves into repetitions of "I want to show you what I’ve made." across the whole brochure with the words "Maurice Clayborn is watching" sprinkled through the headers. Finally, on the last page, "A Once in a Lifetime Showcase at Waterfalls at Dawn" above the shadowy photo of the artist.

The whole image has an eerie vibe.

A collage in space. At the top and bottom of the image are two massive planets, their atmospheres visible. In the center is white alien looking text that read "Syndicated with Lesley and Ben." Running vertically down the middle of the letters is a bright glowing blue line. There are four objects around the letters, an upside down astronaut, a purple space ship, a purple geometric space station and an old fashioned analog tv which depicts Rod Serling in front of a spiraling background.

Ghostface on the phone, making a smug expression. It's from one of the earlier Scary Movies, idk I don't watch them.

Sufficient Owls | Podcaster@sufficientowls· May 25

That's crazy how they managed to start shooting in the future, 8 years after the movie came out.

Linklater and Hawke famously spent 12 years shooting Boyhood, filming scenes every summer, starting in May 2022 through to August 2013.

Watching David Byrne's recent Tiny Desk Concert and losing it that he crammed the entire backing band/dance troupe from American Utopia behind the Tiny Desk

13 people each wearing matching bright blue dress shirts and pants crammed behind the NPR Tiny Desk while holding their respective instruments. David Byrne, silvery prince of music that he is, is in the center with a red guitar.

Rewatched All the President's Men after Redford's passing earlier this year so I have to give this up to Hal Holbrook as Deep Throat. Hardly on the screen but projects power, intrigue and something a little sinister with his time.

A man in a suit stands on the right side of the frame, covered in shadows. Only his eyes and the right side of his face are lit in any meaningful way. He's in a parking garage. He's telling you secrets. Follow the Money.

We all clowned on that Velvet Sundown band on Spotify for trying to push itself as real people when it was so obviously, transparently fake. I’m worried about this time next year when there will be so, so many more of these and it will be harder to tell. Probably don’t have to wait till next year

A Gen Ai image of four men who aren’t real, some holding up musical instruments. All the weird tells of Gen Ai images are present there. The waxy faces, the weird smiles, you know.

I was in the process of verifying the idea that the Medieval English just used “hound” to mean any dog when she did a big stretch, grumbled and put her little paw on my hand. But I was right also

• Middle English and Modern English: In Middle English,
"hund" was simplified to
"hound," and its meaning expanded to include any breed of dog kept as a pet or for hunting. Over time, the word has come to be used primarily for breeds known for their hunting abilities, such as foxhounds and bloodhounds.
