Twin Peaks: Lucy pouring coffee for Cooper, Andy, Truman and Hawk.

Pay squeezes in freelance creative jobs are a grim scene. The expected payments for most musical jobs as a freelancer are the same in figure terms as they were when I first started doing this 25 years ago.

Twin Peaks: Close-up of Laura in a video being played back during Donna’s questioning.

Sorry @quest64official.bsky.social, But Turkey Day is the ONE day a year i refuse to play Quest 64.

Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper in disguise at the One Eyed Jacks casino.

This may be utterly absurd (it is, to anyone who hasn't seen the show) but to me, this moment from MST3K with @billcorbett.bsky.social returning as Krankor is one of the most heartwarming moments in television history. If you watch Prince of Space THEN Neptune Men, you'll understand. Ya scum.

atris is what happens when you stay on twitter post elon buyout thinking you can put your whole head in a barrel of opposition research and have it not taint you and its really cool how its grievance motivated too

Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper talking with Andy.

Drew a Hound of Tindalos from a short story by Frank Belknap Long, released in a short story collection of his work in 1946. The hounds are creatures that exist outside of time and space. They can emerge in the form of smoke from any angle of a certain sharpness, like the corner of a room.

feels like a good time to share my essay about one of the best Batman movies, because it also happens to be one of the best Christmas movies

Reskeeting with alt text Yeah this has become the utter pain of what we once had. Used to be you'd run to Google for a trusted and quick search and now I try to avoid it when I can Legit ruined their own product to the point of being unrecognizable

If I speak about the early adoption of 3D into video games and how it has a similar sordid past... If. I. Speak.

Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman in a room at the Sheriff’s Department, investigating items from Laura’s room.

Does anyone else feel like stress, financial pressure, and political strife have shortened your life? Not in a "I'm going to die sooner" way, but in a "I can only plan to survive a week at a time and there is no future to look forward to" sort of way. It's like...the PERCEPTION of life is shorter.

Twin Peaks: Margaret Lanterman aka the Log Lady, at a town meeting.

Fun non-spoilery Pluribus detail - this is actually the mayor of Albuquerque

Twin Peaks: Pete Martell noticing something unusual on the shoreline.

Laughter, Susannah would later reflect, is like a hurricane: once it reaches a certain point, it becomes self-feeding, self-supporting. You laugh not because the jokes are funny but because your own condition is funny.

Twin Peaks: Hawk, Gordon, Cooper, Phillip Gerard, Andy and Sheriff Truman take a coffee break.

I really didn't think Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries could look more out of touch. Then the president just exchanged friendship bracelets with Zohran.

Gen X comedy nerds, assemble! youtu.be/Bw2bJZl990I?...

also took some photos of the Big Daddies I made to go with them.

Twin Peaks: Albert and Cooper, breakfast at The Great Northern.

Watching Episode 8 of Twin Peaks The Return. Right before bed. As one does.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

If you use Firefox, and weren't aware, there's now AI stuff baked in. 'Remove chatbot' gets rid of it, but no doubt it's lurking under the hood somewhere. It's quite mad how the tech companies force this stuff on us when nobody has asked for it.

If anyone wants access to it here is my giant curated Pinterest board of poses I like pin.it/4JxNZR9xx

"how did you get into ttrpgs" Oh, I was bitten by a radioactive ttrpg when I was younger.

Some more FF9 on CRT, focused on cosy interiors this time and there are plenty of them in this game, so warm

who framed roger rabbit? a true masterpiece obviously, i'll never quite get over that it exists, personally formative on a level i can't articulate. a true miracle of timing and innovation. the toontown section, man.

Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper at the One Eyed Jacks casino.

It's not even funny stupid. It's cruel stupid.

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

"Black Cat Angst" by Greg Stones Art

one little detail i love is that almost every single key player is introduced in this episode in a character-defining way with a brewer that matches them, and Cooper is instead *exiting* the episode when he first drinks coffee, his first thought of long-term habitation comes with it

Uh this is enormous
