Another bit of saucy, obscure Hewlett media I found browsing some PSX magazine scans:

Virgin Cola ad illustrated by Jamie Hewlett depicting Monique, taste tester at the Home of Hedonism, dipping in a pool of cola and sipping it with a straw. "I just love it running down the back of my throat."

And here they are... the two print ads I found in those magazines earlier, scanned in HD! Descriptions of all of them are in the ALT text. The hunt is still on for Roller Cola media, so keep your eyes peeled! DJ in the Can info from Pro-Music-News: www.pro-music-news.com/html/08/e910...

"It's all in the wrist." -Bill from Bottling.

Despite the fact that the Roller Cola Girl is absent here, his one is part of the Home of Hedonism campaign showcasing the Bottling room... seeing those square bottles are something else entirely but are those even a thing? Turns out, yes! Heck, it even has the random-ass moose seen in the launch advert! This one's from Official UK PlayStation Magazine Issue 49 from August/September 1999, on page 17.

With layoffs at Xbox, sources indicate accessibility efforts have also been affected. What was once a champion of accessibility is now a shell of its former self, unsure if accessibility even has a place at the new Xbox. Read my first report for @aftermath.site here: aftermath.site/xbox-layoffs...

Layoffs Leave The Future Of Xbox’s Award-Winning Accessibility Efforts In Doubt

Former workers say Xbox cuts leave less resources and experts to make sure games are developed, labelled, and tested with accessibility in mind

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

From a Reddit forum, a photo of a can of coconut milk with a blue label, papyrus text and a flip-top, on a sidewalk. It seems to hover because there's no visible shadow. The pavement is sort of unevenly colored, with bright spots, and the grass along it is green and lush.

A blue Shoyru with darker blue swirl markings smiling at a butterfly on her arm, drawn in MS Paint. The big text says MYOSHI. The bottom text says NO STICKY PAWS! IMAGE (C) TO PIKACHLOE4EVER UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED!

A purple Poogle and a Blue Cybunny drawn in MS Paint. The Poogle is snarling at the Cybunny, who looks startled. The Poogle says, "Don't you DARE paint anything else on my back!" while the Cybunny says, "Woah! Sorry!". Also the background is neon green for some reason.

A purple Poogle drawn in MS Paint, looking up sadly at the night sky with a tear running down her cheek. She has blue stars on her back. The text at the bottom reads PIKACHLOE4EVER.

r/jazz reports AI slopification now somehow infecting physical media

AI Slop hits/horrifes the vinyl market

Album is a record with AI generated photos of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans titled "Trinity of Blue"

In 1959. Kind of Blue changed everything. It wasn't just an album -it was a revelation. The music felt effortless, timeless, complete. And at the heart of that sound were three remarkable voices: the cool restraint of Miles Davis, the spiritual intensity of John Coltrane, and the harmonic poetry of Bill Evans. This collection is not a reissue of Kind of Blue. It's a reflection on the unique chemistry of those involved-and the many creative paths that converged, brielly,
before diverging again. The tracks gathered here offer a wide lens on their worlds. Recorded in different years, under different circumstances, they trace a creative arc larger than any one session. What binds them is not a shared studio or genre-but a certain way of listening, of phrasing, of believing in music as something essential. Davis, Coltrane and Evans didn't chase trends. They built their own
grammar, one phrase at a time. Miles Davis was always in motion. In his twenties, he played with Charlie Parker. In his fifties, he was working with Prince. He didn't talk much on stage-he didn't need to. With his back to the audience and his bell to the floor. he
could silence a room with a single sustained note. He had an intimidating presence and a sharp fashion sense-one of the first jazz musicians to wear tailored Italian suits and later, leather and neon. But behind the cool exterior was a restless inventor. He reinvented jazz five times in
one lifetime and famously dismissed nostalgia. "Don't play what's there, play what's not there," he said. His silences were as meaningful as his
melodies. John Coltrane came from a Navy band in Hawaii, carrying a battered saxophone and a fire in his chest. He was a quiet man off stage, polite and intense, known to scribble scales on napkins and sleep with his horn nearby. Friends say he would stop mid-conversation to write down a musical idea. In 1957, after years of addiction, he locked himself in a room and came out sober-and transformed.

Our "Tsubame Ropeway Tram" (つばめ号) running over Treasure Town (宝町) was inspired by the Tokyu Hibari Ropeway Tram (ひばり号) that used to run over Shibuya. I really think they should bring this back! #Tekkon #鉄コン #木村真二 #anime #アニメ
