One Pop it's okay to hop on

The syncs are entraining again. This is wild.

My last post, "Assorted syncs: Damn it Gym, Ace of Hearts, Imlahil," mentioned seeing the Ace of Hearts symbol as the picrel for a post on /x/. I provided a link to the thread but said I hadn't found much of interest there.

William Wright just posted "Love Pop," about this logo he saw:


It's for a company that makes pop-up greeting cards, and so the logo, while it doesn't look quite like the Ace of Hearts, represents "a Red Card with a Heart in the middle of it" -- a description which also fits the Ace perfectly.

It's interesting where William went with the "Pop" angle:

When I first looked at the sign, it was William's posts or references to "Hop on Pop", the Dr. Seuss book, that came to my mind. . . . William wrote about the warning to not "hop on pop".  That some Pops are not to be hopped on. . . . But where there are false "Pops" or Christs, there is also a true One.  And in looking at this sign, and in thinking about it now, that is kind of what I see in that logo symbolism:  Love Jesus (your Father).

Implied in the above is that Jesus, the true Father, is "to be hopped on." Hopped on, though? Isn't that a strange way of expressing it? What sort of person, or animal, might we imagine hopping on Jesus?

I'm going to guess that William didn't click through to the /x/ thread. (I mean, my screenshot, juxtaposing it with a thread about "Haunted Vagina's From Alien Hybrid Abortions," didn't exactly frame it as quality reading material!) It's not a very long thread, but one of the images posted in a reply was this:


This is the post it was illustrating:

You will know, just understand that others can love you, then it will happen naturally, just like hunger or yawning, its natural.

To understand love and all of its facettes to their fullest extend understand how muc god loves you personally and god loves all of us generally.

Any love you can send or receive is amplified hubdredfold by the love that tethers you to jesus christ. Its weird i know, but it will get easier.
Just like forgiving others will be essier once you have been forgiven and therefore can forgive yourself.

William Wright's post goes on to discuss Joseph. Pepe is a diminutive for the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese forms of that name.

At the risk of being predictable, I can't help but think of Kermit from that picture. It looks like he found that rainbow connection and hopped on Pop.

Sawtooth and cereal

This was an unexpected T-shirt sighting in central Taiwan: And this was funny in light of all the recent cereal syncs:
