Photos of a nearby storm cloud as it grew. The 1st photo was taken with my phone, and the rest were taken with my camera.
Taken on July 3, 2026.
Full resolution photos coming very soon.

A Fat Boy brand Hot Fudge Brownie ice cream sandwich that turned out to be a little bit unusual.
After presenting the low quality copper ingots to Nanni's messenger, Sit-Sin, Eā-naṣir told him,
"Šumma teleqeā leqeā
šumma lā teleqeā atlaka"
which I have written in the photo.
This translates as,
"If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!"
Written in Akkadian and quoted from Nanni's complaint tablet to Eā-naṣir.
I always see this ad. I hate seeing AI-generated ads on any platform, but seeing them on TV pisses me off even more. And this isn't the only one I've seen on TV. I've seen a bunch of life insurance ads lately that all have the same disclaimer at the bottom that it was generated by AI. The channel that this one was seen on is 67.3 KFTH-DT3.
This is the most cuneiform I have written in one sitting so far. Read what it says, and you might find yourself to be quite familiar with these words! 😛
Written in Akkadian.
Whoever gets the right transliteration (and translation with it if you'd like) will get the finest quality copper imaginable. Trust me, the guy I know says he's the best in all of Mesopotamia, so it's gotta be good.........right?
I was outside and didn't notice the plane until I heard and saw it myself. I'm not really satisfied with the photo at all, and I would have preferred to get a photo when it was closer. Either way, I figured I'd post it here to see if y'all have anything to say about it. Or not.
The first phrase that I have written in Akkadian! 😛
Also, I probably should've put TRANSLATE the phrase, but you get what I mean 😝
Spelled as pa-at-ri-ik instead of pa-te-ri-ik.
Makes more sense! Thanks to u/Kyrillis_Kalethanis for the correction!
😁
I upgraded from that craft foam to some actual clay! Not perfect, but I think it looks way better now!
This is my name, Patrick, written using the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform syllabary (I'm interested in Akkadian). The characters used were pa, te, ri(or re), and ik(or ek, eg, ig, eq, iq). The first picture is the photo of my work, and the second picture is what the cuneiform should look like. I used a blue 2x10 lego brick as my stylus and a sheet of foam as a clay replacement (I don't have any clay yet lol). Because the foam is kinda springy, the tail ends of some of the wedges sprang up and smoothed out, leaving them looking very short. When I get some clay, I will retry this.

I'm not sure why this post suddenly got marked as NSFW. I did not add that tag at all. I have just removed it.
