May 6 2025. What is this thing? It really appeals to me. I’m not sure why – the silliness, the fun. And its obscurity. The picture’s a placeholder bit of art that came with the Alex Photon demo in the Jevelin theme for WordPress. Nobody’s gonna see it. No one’s going to care. But it gives me a kick. “Potato Playmate”? what? I’m really glad this artist is out there in the world somewhere. I hope they’re doing alright.<\/p>\n

Notebook, May 7 2025. “I’m really glad this artist is out there in the world somewhere.” Why? the world feels lighter, hopeful even. I get news from The Economist, The Guardian, Financial Times, AP, etc., texts-voices-video from Lemmy, reddit, chatgpt, deepseek, etc. The graffiti-wall of social-media-mass-communication-networks, the world’s painted there in bold, garish colors, every splat a clickbait smear grabbing at your eyeballs.<\/p>\n

Then comes this little lightening bug. Painted in natural colors. Small and low to the ground. Indifferent to the noise. Going on its carefree way – a real bit of joy. There’s something in it that’s more real, more true to what life is, what people and Earth are … bright, hopeful, fun. It makes me want to go out and meet people. haha potato playmate made a friend.<\/p>\n

Notebook, May 8 2025. I searched for “potato playmate” on SearchXNG<\/a>. Nothing in the results about this image. A couple of facething-bookthing links but i never go there. Then on Duck Duck Go. Nothing again, but probably best to have the “adult filter” on.<\/p>\n

April 21, 2026. I searched Duck Duck Go again for “potato playmate” and guess what the top result is?
