I have definitely read some of these. Indeed the only list 💛

I love the word clock. It's a very ancient Irish word. And it's simply the sound a bell makes. It means laugh.

THE ODYSSEY (2026, dir. Christopher Nolan)

I ain't even looking at the Guardiant 100 novels list. I'll have read all 100 of them. And I will look like a freak. And will have some short, blunt opinion that hits the mark a little too shortly and bluntly that I will delete after ten minutes. So no.

It's so funny that every year I read Dracula just because it's in my email. Of all books. I don't even own a copy of Dracula.

I don't think The Odyssey will be good because The Odyssey is a weird, ancient poem irremovable from its context, and every time directors try to westernize weird, ancient epics out of context they utterly crash and burn. But I will pay twice to watch it if Lupita and Elliott make you mad.

The Public is a great little movie. There should be more movies about libraries.

I love when I look at something, and I realize there's no way I should be able to tell what color it is. The lighting is all over the place. Too many shadows and highlights. If I tried to paint it, I would use absolutely none of the thing's actual color. But I know what color it is.

Is that who made the Big Table that this video’s Pops can’t handle? (He is laughing, by the way; it’s not obvious at the beginning, but he definitely is)

Robert Therrien is one of my favorite artists. Whatever he was doing (and whatever John Brosio continues to do) is great.

E-bikes are such a great method of transportation in poor rural areas, so I'm 100% not surprised to see the trend in demeaning people who ride them. As soon as tech benefits the poor, it's trash.

I've been redecorating my dumpy little house the last several months. I like decorating and design, so it's fun. But it's difficult to care about your house when you have a disorder that makes it hard for you to both GO INTO ROOMS and NOT THROW AWAY STUFF. I feel like it's doing me good, though.

Hmmm. Are you maybe thinking of Animusic? It had the Pipe Dream animation with the homage to Tubular Bells in it, but Animusic was Wayne Lytle's project. I think Mike was probably just inspiration.

Yes. He is my favorite. Every day requires maximum effort not to special interest in front of everyone about Mike Oldfield's music because I would not be able to stop.

If you're scared to share you art please consider Mike, who made this album as a teenager, playing almost every instrument himself, and then had to perform it LIVE ON TELEVISION with much older, more experienced musicians. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYQ...

we all know I have no life, so:

Oh look someone has put it on Youtube. Seriously if you've never seen it it's worth a watch. It's very 1990. So it's odd in a good, maximalist way. But it's also quite moving—it's a rare movie where men express love and are emotional and genuine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4TL...

I love maximalist horror. Hellraiser 2. Exorcist 3. They're so good. Like a cinematic junk drawer overturned, and the people in the room were told to make a horror movie from every single bit. Stuff that shouldn't work for horror suddenly does.

“Chat,

I'll never understand why ghosts are always the size of the person. 1) What law of physics could you, writer, possibly be adhering to 2) Jeff the ghost could be 30 feet tall??? Writer you are missing out

The things you get up to when you're a burned out artist lmao.

This is my favorite Artemis II photo.

Sunset. Calm. Fabric and clay little sweetie #textileart

Did you know if you see something beautiful it's not because it's beautiful but because you've set aside space within yourself for recognizing beautiful things. That's pretty dang hopeful.

I scrolled the entire way through this thread to find this one.

We report as quietly as possible: our expert has just seen a doe, there, between the trees. They tapped us on the shoulder, we turned around, and in this half-second, it was gone. We think it will come back if we stay very still. Our expert generally has trouble staying still.

I could watch The Green Knight 800 times and never be over the cewri. It's not even the decision to include them but how they're filmed. The CG is clunky, which I feel was on purpose. Because it's so obvious compared to rest of the movie. It's almost analog. Like finding a CD-ROM game in the woods.

I sadly never played Rama (I was a Myst/Riven kid), but that soundtrack is a big beautiful love letter to the Roland JV-1080.

Recovering from a migraine. Listening to this beautiful soundtrack while I eat things I shouldn't. youtu.be/7JQTafesDeg?...

This is the art I was talking about FYI

This goes back to my favorite Hobby Horse: in Tolkien, the fear of death is the root cause of most humans’ turns to evil. Númenor fell when even the extra long lives given to them wasn’t enough. The ringwriaths were kings who chose Not Dying over actually Living.

We report at the end of a strange, warm, sunny day. We spent it attempting to reconcile our idea of an early March day with the lukewarm wind we felt on our face. As the sun is setting, the crisp humidity is swallowing half of the thermometer in one fell swoop.

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

Please enjoy pics of my niece holding a pigeon named Homer.

Planetary astrophysicist by day, space artist by night. The year is 2022 & my PhD research inspires me to create a giant multi-spectral Jupiter painting. Oh shit, did I just invent my own style? I decide to leave academia & take a chance on my art.

Lol 💛 I think most people would find this a very annoying thing about me but thank you. It's always from a place of trying to help, at least.

Hey I know it's trendy right now to face your books out on the shelf to show off the covers, but books are not designed for this. Books are designed to be pressed against other books. If you set them face-out they'll warp, and you'll destroy the binding. Friendly tip to save your books.

My brain every time the weather forecast talks about bombogenesis:

My favorite part of Ramadan is the videos of cats at 3-4 am, flabbergasted that their humans are up and eating 😆

Not sure I could trust people who didn't like Bunnicula.

I was watching a travel video, and for a quick second in the video, I spied a beautiful cable-stayed bridge, and I spent the next ten minutes identifying it. It's the SkyBridge, a cable-stayed railroad bridge in Vancouver. Look at this beautiful bridge:

Finally finished this up! It's done in watercolor, gouache, and color pencils. I know I should try to render it in more detail but I'm not sure I want to. I like the texture being able to be textures. Maybe that will change in the future. For now, though, I like it 😅

"What if someone doesn't like what I made?" Ok but what if someone likes it.

Does anyone else remember Nina Katchadourian's found poetry project where she photographed books to make poems.
