Bullshit. I can look normal during a migraine or an ovarian cyst. I laughed with my radiologist during a lumbar puncture. I didn’t wince or take breaks during tattoos near bone. Etc etc Fuck this and fuck AI, doctors already don’t believe my pain tolerance.

The man who made movie poster art, well, *an art* has passed: the great Drew Struzan. Loved his work. Let's not forget how he was tasked to make a poster for The Thing in hours knowing only the premise of the original 1951 film. The paint was STILL WET when he handed it in. May he rest in peace.

Oh, man, Drew Struzan's departed us. You know all the hits, of course; the man was a legend. Here's a rejected (!?!?) poster he did for STAR TREK V.

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. “The studio has notes”

Reading this anecdote and begging, BEGGING people who are not in creative fields to wrap their brains around the fact that figuring one's way through those stuck transitions *IS THE FUN PART*.

Instant surrender

Just when I began looking into creating an iOS shortcut to auto-respond “STOP” to the onslaught of political texts I get every day, the bots started using the word “QUIT” to opt out. Honestly this should be illegal

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Stuffed grape leaves, fresh french fries and and Diet Coke is the perfect meal

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

what can i say? i’m good at what i do

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

I got visibly frustrated at like the 10th kid to JUMP in front of my chair (made at my friend, I made sure the kid didn’t see it) and his mom lectured me like a child about “saying excuse me instead of making a face” and… I dunno Teach your kids about disabled people instead of being a bitch maybe

America is a vibe

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

Big ol’ flirts

"DEVO" the documentary is out on Netflix tomorrow, August 19th! It covers the band's history and messaging with a surreal, whimsical vibe that feels like a direct extension of their work. I had the pleasure of sound designing the film!

I've noticed some people on Twitter are prone to arguing with Grok, posing leading questions to get Grok to confirm their most delusional, conspiratorial beliefs. I worry that this behavior + AI's politeness bias + lack of mental health services + widespread guns will lead to bad things.

To mark the launch of GPT-5, and the fresh wave of people talking about this technology as if it's capable of thinking like human and even if it's not, it will be soon and it's inevitable and it's not actually stealing people's work, it's just learning like a human. Here's why it's none of that.

guys it’s really not funny that the fbi agent took a footlong to the chest. stop laughing. it’s NOT FUNNY that an fbi agent in head to toe tactical gear tried to chase the guy who hucked a sandwich straight at his bulletproof vest but couldn’t outrun him

"Trans people existing does literally nothing negative to your lives you crybaby wimps. Your life is getting harder and costlier because of the oligarchs, not trans people" Sticker spotted in Koreatown, Los Angeles, CA

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

They’ve come a long way. 👀 🖖 #StarfleetAcademy #StarTrekProdigy

Everyone says that “Beer Bad” is the worst Buffy episode but jfc “Pangs” Beer Bad was a mediocre goof but Pangs thinks it is asking tough questions while making fun of said questions and not answering them in perfect 90’s/aughts fashion The “mystical flute” in the soundtrack is what did it
