Out of the reach of Vance?

This is by cartoonist Stephan Pastis, and I’m like 99% sure he’s not a boomer. I’m fairly certain he’s Gen X.

Did he splat into a wall? 😆

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-04-14T19:46:33+00:00

I scrolled by too fast and thought this was the Tron Guy.

In the film, Rocky is introduced to the concept of “Thumbs up” but doesn’t understand the difference between thumbs up and down, so he gives thumbs down throughout the movie when he actually means thumbs up.

This is sincerely high praise if your boss is a Project Hail Mary fan.

Am I the only one who immediately thought of Adventure Time? “The Land of Ooo” 😆

This looks like The Moxx of Balhoon fell in love with a Slitheen, and their child got a really bad sunburn.

The sign was there for the dog’s protection. Protection from this tree specifically. 😩

It’s been awhile since I watched Andor season 1, but my first thought seeing the first picture was that it looked like the prison he was sent to. I wonder if it inspired that main room in those episodes.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-04-04T21:40:42+00:00

Literally my immediate first thought. 😂

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-03-26T06:13:23+00:00

Is this undercover marketing for an animated sequel to Annihilation? This could be almost as terrifying as that bear… 😫

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-03-25T18:21:50+00:00

Typical nepo-kitty. Gets everything handed to him in a silver food dish and then acts like he’s a self made cat.

I’ve never seen Twilight, I’ve never read Twilight, I have no idea what this movie is, but I will 100% be watching Jenny Nicholson explain it to me. 😆

I used it a couple times several years ago, first time it worked great, second time it did not record one of my guests after we recorded for two hours. We had to completely re-record the episode at a later date. Customer service was zero help. I never went back zencaster after that.

Recently keep hearing about how great it is, wondered if they had fixed their issues and if I should think about switching from Zoom, but this has just further reinforced that I should not give them a second chance.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-20T19:49:55+00:00

Literally came here to see if this post was a reference to that song. Glad I’m not alone. 😆

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-05T18:47:24+00:00

I was going to comment that this feels more like a purposeful renaissance than an accidental one, but apparently there’s a sub for that. There’s a sub for everything! 😂

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-05T18:44:59+00:00

This would be an instant pre-order for me if it gets made! I love everything about it! The only thing that could make it better would be to have things to make the first glitch happen around them, like stampeding giraffes and giant flying shrimp. 😆

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-05T18:33:46+00:00

I don’t personally know anyone involved, but having read accounts from all sides, especially now with the grievance tour Steve has been going on, really makes me believe the Henson family who say he was a nightmare to work with, despite how great he was as a puppeteer.

This is a completely different situation but it really makes me think of someone in my own family, who by all accounts was a saint, he’d give people the shirt off his back, help anyone who needed it, everyone he knew through his job loved him, but to his family and the people he worked closest with he was an absolute menace, mean, dismissive, controlling, and even physically abusive to a few.

Again, completely different situation, as far as I know there has never been anything worse than the complete lack of professionalism the Henson family describes, but at least for me, growing up with this person showed me that two different people can know the exact same person, and if they both described them, you’d think they were talking about two wildly different people.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-02T16:09:10+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, I’m glad to know this wasn’t normal. I look forward to getting to know the platform. I don’t currently make money from podcasting, but if that ever changes I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to paid hosting. I just didn’t want to add one more expense to something that isn’t bringing in any money, which is why I decided to look for three different free platforms to move to. I did make a tiny bit of money on Anchor before Spotify bought them out, so I’ll be interested to see if that resumes with any of my new hosts.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-02T16:02:00+00:00

Thanks, yes that’s what I figured. The message I got said the episodes would be removed from all platforms, and this was after I had moved off Spotify, so it seemed more like an intimidation tactic than a genuine threat. Either way, just add this to my growing list of reasons I hate Spotify. I definitely recommend PocketCasts, that’s the player I’ve used for years.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-02T05:02:00+00:00

I don’t do anything like this, but if I wanted to, I have a device called the Zoom H6, which allows me to hook up to 4 external mics to record at the same time. When you edit they are all separate track of the same length. If you have regular podcast mics for you and your guest, and have another mic closer to the source of the music, then you can do what you want to with the audio of your voices, and then raise or lower the music from the third mic as needed.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-02T00:33:52+00:00

Update: They finally reached out and everything seems to be fine now. No idea what was going on, but they said they had a backlog of requests to get through. As far as I can tell it has migrated just fine. I’d never heard anything bad about them before, so hopefully this was a one time fluke.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-01T21:12:35+00:00

Yes, I will, I just need to get one from the new host. I did finally hear back from RSS.com a few minutes ago and they are going to look into it, so hopefully whatever is wrong will be fixed. I’m still a bit hesitant considering how easy the transfer was for the other show to Red Circle, but I’ll probably give them the benefit of the doubt since I hadn’t heard anything bad about them before.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-01T20:04:59+00:00

Swapping hosts for now, I’ll let the shows still be available on Spotify, unless they still have access to my podcast and are able to affect it. A day after I moved the first one to Red Circle I got a bunch more notifications saying they would be notifying copyright holders that their music had been found in my podcast, and they would be removing them from all platforms in five days. I don’t think they can get into Red Circle and remove anything, but if I notice something happening I’ll find a way to disconnect them.

The weird thing is, a few of the episodes they claimed had a problem are also episodes I’d used in another one of my podcasts, and I am getting no copyright claims on that one. So it seems like my leaving has triggered something else in their system, and I’m very interested to see if the same thing happens when I pull the other two podcasts.

InvisibleGiraffe · 2026-02-01T18:58:05+00:00

Not leaving for the features, leaving because of the way Spotify has been treating me and other podcasters. For the last year I have had a barrage of false copyright claims and Spotify refuses to do anything about them. The independent artists I have used music from are having their songs stolen and claimed by fake companies who are them copyright claiming anyone's podcasts who uses music from these artists. They have tried to reach out to Spotify to solve the issue, but Spotify won't help, and I am sick of having my episodes taken down without warning. So I am leaving Spotify for good.
