The Little Nermaid took over my brain until I could exorcise it, lol

Across the 1st season of The Pitt, costume designer Lyn Paolo dressed Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) for functional—and regionally informed—comfort in his Beers of the Burgh zip-up hoodie with black FIGS scrub top, brown Carhartt work pants, black @newbalance.bsky.social 990v5s, and Seiko SRPG35 field watch.

Words like “definitive” and “masterpiece” get thrown around a lot, but good lord this book was just the best. (Also figure @philnobilejr.bsky.social needs to know it exists. Perfectly weaves in Gordon Lightfoot and his beloved ballad.)

The great John Williams is 94 years young today. Huzzah! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social

I don't know why everyone is so down on AI when it's being used on eBay to produce magic like this

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

I was thinking about that 1980s James Bond movie where everybody's trying to get their hands on a Fabergé egg for some reason And then I realized: It's an Egg McGuffin.

me: Nutrition research is often quite lacking in its methods but at the same time the world leader in meme virality, by regularly uncovering things we want to be true to feel better about the food identity we have developed. also me: this study must be true. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

So after we got over that whole McCarthyism crap in the 50s, we got the freedom of the 60s and the weirdness of the 70s and I just really hope I'm around to see straight men in makeup and crop tops and heels in 2040, dancing to Space Disco with long hair and mustaches once we're through ALL THIS.

Bond’s gotta kill someone with a Parm wheel. Make it happen Denis

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Breaking News: Variety says James Bond gonna fight a dinosaur.

The sensory overload of the Nintendo Switch 2 coming out the same day as the long awaited next Bond game trailer 😵‍💫

I love my baking shows, but this might be my favorite sort of exchange: Announcer: Bakers, we asked for 12 cookies with flower flavors, and one had to have buttercream. Judge 1: Oh, this is rose-flavored. That can taste soapy. Judge 2: The buttercream is really sweet. Judge 3: I don't like cookies.

The Last of Us is basically a remake of the 2 Ewok movies.

Art - a painting, a novel, a movie, a sculpture - is magic. AI-generated art is a magic trick. If you don’t know the difference between magic and a magic trick, you’re probably okay with AI.

alright, no more joking around. butlerian jihad starts tomorrow

“Shit. I’m still only in Saigon.”

The primary cause of a midlife crisis is the realisation that there are no longer enough years left to actually consume all the media you've stockpiled for "when I've got the time".

Loved Black Bag. Amazon should cast Pierce Brosnan as M. Or make Naomi Harris M. Or make Cate Blanchett M. Or make Michael Fassbender M. I dunno just make them all M.

My Garden? Savage.

The absolute end of an era. Eon has been the custodian of the movie-Bond for over 60 years. An amazing run for this family business.

We live in a deeply weird timeline where Goldfinger teamed-up with Max Zorin to run the US government, while Blofeld now fully controls James Bond.

I concede that on one level the ‘Gulf of America’ idiocy is just a toddler screaming in his sandbox. On another, I wrote a novel 35 years ago, TIGANA, about how tyrants erase (or try to) names, history, art to consolidate their control of people. So, it matters. Symbols do. So does acquiescence.
