"Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own." Remembering Bruce Lee on his birthday (November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) 💙🕊️

RIP John Woodvine. He, Jenny Agutter & Brian Glover reprised their movie roles in our BBC Radio ‘An American Werewolf In London’. In rehearsal I took him through an extra scene I had written (with John Landis’s permission). “Don’t worry Dirk”, said John W, “I’ll do my best to improve your writing…”

I was a working visual artist from 1990 to 2020. I have an Honours degree in visual art and I've taught it at a tertiary level. I know of which I speak, and this author has done a way better job than a plagiarism machine can or ever will do. Try your hand.

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

On his decision to end $500M worth of research on mRNA vaccines, RFK Jr. said: “The the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu”. These vaccines saved 3.2M lives in the U.S. He is running a disinformation op against Americans.

Good afternoon from Greenland friends ⛵️🧊! Thanks so much for the love on the last video I shared 💛. Many peoples asked for more BTS from our Greenland photo tours so here we go with another one from this fantastic evening 2 days ago. Been rainy since that tho 🌧️

Maybe they do, but do it so slow we can’t tell

Good points, and a good layout of why LLMs are not people

Agreed. Someone will bring this back and make a killing

Lightning strikes occur on Earth more than a *billion* times per year. What triggers it? Turns out, exploding stars. Yes, seriously. And also, black holes. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/what-trigg... 🔭🧪

AI once again taking credit for human work. Oh, the humanity!

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence. If true, then fucking yikes.

Now You See It...Now You DON'T! Master magician Ricky Jay was a big fan of the Museum of Jurassic Technology, which recently (and briefly) caught on fire!

If you put a lasagna on top of another lasagna, it’s no longer two lasagnas. It’s one giant lasagna. THAT is the power of lasagna.

This is fascinating—canonically, Clark Kent moved to Metropolis because he'd be able to be of more use to the world living in a big city than living in a small town.

@trailersfromhell.bsky.social Dipping into various old eps, like Strange Darling, and Josh has mentioned several stories that he can’t say on the air, so to speak(Schrader/Pryor, his w Billy Friedkin) How about a special paid ep of all those stories, with proceeds going to a film and/or LA charity?

We literally invented magic. You are reading this because we commanded fire, metal, earth and glass to do our bidding. We did not and do not need generative AI. It is not the culmination of technology, it is the consumption of our Soul.

40 years ago today THE BLACK CAULDRON was released in theaters, marking a low point in the Bronze Age of Walt Disney Animation Studios. Despite its beautiful animation & rich Lloyd Alexander source material, its box office failure caused this underrated film to be buried for over a decade.

A reminder to any who think they aren't affected by any of these "porn bans" need to read up on history. Purges of purity like this led to the Comics Code Authority, and the demonization of Horror as a genre across all mediums. "Smut" to the fascist is a pretty wide net for anything they dislike.
