The Electric State by Simon Stalenhag - ANIMATED!
An unofficial animated version of Simon Stalenhag’s The Electric State.
This video posted here is about 5 years old but I’ve somehow missed seeing it until now despite my complete adoration for Simon Stalenhag’s work both in Tales From The Loop and The Electric State.
His work is so mesmerizing and influential that both major publications of his have been turned into live-action recreations — Tales From The Loop (2020 on Amazon Prime Video) and The Electric State (2025 on Netflix). Both of the live-action creations look pretty lackluster and in my opinion, both shows should have gone animated to get the type of look that’s seen in this video below by Ilya Plotnikov.
A hot dog shaped food cart as a cargo bike
Is this my new dream cargo bike?
This is pretty nuts and I love it! I first saw a photo of this on Bluesky and instantly wanted to know more. It turns out this beautiful hot dog shaped bicycle vending machine is made by a company called ETO Foodcarts.
They specialize in highly customizable deployable food carts that can be as standard as you want or as unique as they come — hence this hot dog bicycle. It looks like so far only one of these were made and it went to a vendor in Los Angeles.
ETO Foodcarts also made a similar version of this hot dog food service cart as a towable trailer. The trailer features much of the same shape as this bicycle version shown here.
Stimulation Clicker revisited
I won the Stimulation Clicker game.
I had some downtime yesterday and decided to play Neal’s Stimulation Clicker browser game to the very, very end.
It took some time, and in the end I was way overstimulated, but the effort was well worth it. Yes, you too can get your game to look like the image here in this post!

The narrowest escalator in New York
This is the narrowest escalator in NYC!
Escalator at 10 Rockefeller Plaza
Have you ever wondered where the skinniest escalator is in NYC? An escalator that literally has no room to pass on either side? An escalator that is only able to accommodate a single-file line of passengers? Wouldn’t you love to see and ride one just like this?
10 Rockefeller Plaza
Well, you’re in luck because if you pass through Rockefeller Plaza between W 48th St and W 49th St (at 10 Rockefeller Plaza), through a set of glass doors lies the narrowest escalator in all of NYC. This escalator leads up to the street level from the Rockefeller Center Plaza dining and shopping center below ground. If you aren’t in the mood to eat or shop and just want to ride this escalator, you can enter the building at 10 Rockefeller Plaza and walk down the large spiral staircase and then take the escalator back up. There is a security person here at all hours but honestly, they don’t mind since the lobby here is adorned with a beautiful wrap-around mural by Lakela Brown.
The last Blockbuster in Philadelphia
The last Blockbuster sign in Philadelphia still exists.
If you keep your eyes up while traveling through West Philadelphia, you might catch a glimpse of a remnant of entertainment past.
Located at South 24th St and West Passyunk Ave is a 78-foot high Blockbuster sign that has been there since the closure of all Blockbuster locations way back in 2014. Today, the former Blockbuster store is a CK Real Beauty, but the Blockbuster sign remains, towering over the neighborhood like a watchful eye.
For whatever reason, the sign has never been taken down and you can drive by and see it today!
Professional pogo stickers at famous NYC skate spots
Street pogo stickers in NYC!
I had no idea pogo stickers had a professional slant. My friend Greg Navarro filmed a bunch of athletes in the pogo stick sport at famous NYC skate spots and shines a spotlight on these incredible stunts.
