This is very true, and the previous agents responsible for building those networks now won't deal with you until you have done 90% of their job and completed 90% of your job.

And musician…

Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

It's about time. Personally, I'd like to see more of this across the board.

The Adolescence of Utena remains an incredibly beautiful movie that feels like it was only 2/3 finished. I love it but it’s hard to believe that that the last 1/3 is really what they would have made if they had more time & money. WHAT friendship between Utena and the Student Council or even Wakaba?

Cackling as I leave the theater and belatedly realize I couldn't have picked a more on-the-nose place to see Adolescence of Utena if I tried.

Literally true

It's "Songs About Detroit" day on my timeline. I should saved this one for today! bsky.app/profile/atcl...

#FathersDaySongs #MusicChallenge Day 10: "Michigan and Trumbull," The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love The title refers to the location of Tiger Stadium, and the song is an elegy for the ballpark itself, Detroit's glory days & our youthful interests as we age—all addressed to the singer's dad

Honestly and genuinely I am not going to change the way I write or speak because an LLM is starting to copy it. It’s not a fit of pique — it is a moral imperative for humanity.

5 things you will probably find in my books (current and future): - astronomical references - where are the adults in the room? oh crap, we're it - dark/bleak humor as an accompaniment to melancholia - non-human antagonistic forces (disease! the system! society, man!) - at least one rescue cat

Given how many little "big animals on wheels" we've had from all over the world, I think the prehistoric equivalent of "Truck Kid" might be "Ox Kid." (Ukraine, Crete, Maharashtra, Anatolia)

What’s troubling Gus? Is it “nothing goes quiet”? Is that what’s troubling ya, Gus? The mere mention of yer name Used to be enough to make every bird stop singing The whip-poor-will at dusk tells ya: no-one is afraid… enough.

Shearwater share “Slugs In The Marigolds”, the third single from “The New World”, and it’s a side of the band we’ve not heard before: slinky and carefree. Watch the video - Meiburg gives a friendly banana slug the trip of a lifetime. klofmag.com/2026/06/shea...

The family should have been bereft, for the Swedish assassin was deft. But the plot came apart, before it could start. Because the idiot forgot to stay left.

Shearwater (@shearwaterband.bsky.social) are releasing a new album, "The New World," on July 31. Now they have shared the album’s third single, “Slugs in the Marigolds,” via a music video. www.undertheradarmag.com/news/shearwa...

Shearwater The guidebooks and binoculars are in the subaru for birdwatching, sure, but the real work is the notebook, plotting which species are arriving earlier or later in a given year. You're drawing a map, where to find forage when the collapse comes. An atlas to the future from bones of today.

Big week for Elon Musk, instigating a racist anti-immigrant pogrom on Tuesday, set to become a trillionaire with the backing of all the biggest banks on Friday.

Our new video for our latest single “Slugs in the Marigolds” is our favorite since “Quiet Americans.” We don’t want to give too much away, but we’re pretty sure it’ll make you smile. (And keep an eye out—so to speak—for the second ending.) Watch and pre-order: shearwater.lnk.to/TheNewWorld

Happy new Shearwater nature rescue video day to all who celebrate. Ariolimax to the MAX!

Down at the Grebe Factory interviewing the new apprentices for the Western Grebe Taxi Service, I'll thread in stills/video as I process them As a primer, here's THE BEST WESTERN GREBE MATING RITUAL FOOTAGE OF MY LIFE Warning on this thread: too cute for doom Skip to :41 for just rushing. 🪶 🐣

look. this album came out the year i figured out that i'm trans. and not only is it titled The Great Awakening, but umm there's a huge egg on the cover? from the 1st words "here comes your heartattack" to the last words "start now"… the 1st time i heard Aqaba, i cried. "unbound, unholy, and free"

Artists: do you have the ability to create a nice looking one color logo featuring these three elements for use by my new astronomy / dark sky advocacy nonprofit? If so, please get in touch!

I just heard the new @shearwaterband.bsky.social album, and it's literally wonderful. JM is a more fascinating writer/performer than ever. Perhaps the Messiaen-like polytonality is EL's doing? I love the swathes of warm, gritty reverb, like a sun-warmed canyon. And that guest star! OMG!

Got this sneak preview today from @shearwaterband.bsky.social as an early backer. It's super duper great! A bit jazzy at times, woodwinds, animal sounds, and everything you love about the band! Plus a very cool guest at the end! shearwater.bandcamp.com/album/the-ne...

Do you like the group @shearwaterband.bsky.social? They just released their latest for Kickstarter backers, and if you like them, you are IN FOR A DAMN TREAT. I can't stress this enough. #NewMusic #BeautifulMusic shearwater.bandcamp.com/album/the-ne...

Kind of at the end of my financial rope due to a family emergency that I can’t really elaborate on, would seriously appreciate if anyone has a few bucks to kick to their friendly neighborhood retro game writer guy ko-fi.com/shaunmusgrave

Remember when this was a joke?

Oh, this is fantastic!

Please listen to the gorgeous new pair of songs from @shearwaterband.bsky.social. That is all. Thank you.

Also, if you are lucky enough to have local record stores, please go check them out! They’re still magical!

Album of the year incoming!

Is now

Heck yeah.
