It’s been a real pleasure to work on the team that built Photoshop for iPhone. Being able to address so much of Photoshop’s vast functionality in such a compact form has excited me since we started working on it some undisclosed (but relatively short) time ago. www.adobe.com/products/pho...

I always forget that Will Forte wrote for Letterman back in the late nineties. youtu.be/N5UB9XdYoPI?...

Star Trek Pod Crawl is here and all episodes are out, including ours covering STIV: The Voyage Home + handoff to Mission Log Podcast: syfysistas.com/the-star-tre... "WE GOT THE ONE WITH THE WHALES" @greatesttrek.bsky.social @ncse.bsky.social

@benjaminahr.mobi Hey! Congratulations on your second! Very happy for you. I’m like 25mins in to this latest ep and it sounds like you guys had to really skedaddle. I hope nothing was lost. From a parasocial/internet-rando lots of love to you and yours. If we can help I’m confident you’ll never ask.

You could write this in a movie but people would say it was too dark and unrealistic

I really loved Skeleton Crew. Such a smart idea to go back to near contemporaries to the original trilogy to find a tonally compatible visual and story-telling language while still feeling like a new take. One of the few shows you can introduce new viewers to and have them enjoy it for what it is.

Have been on Bluesky quite a bit the last two days (for info & resources) & it’s not social media that’s broken. I think it’s us that’s broken now. I’ll post about places ppl can donate because LA is in bad shape & my replies are full of “ummmm sounds like somebody’s never heard of Pompeii.”

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Look, it’s me talking about visual effects! Todd Vaziri on Corridor Crew "VFX Artists React" http://fxrant.blogspot.com/2023/08/todd-vaziri-on-corridor-crew-vfx.html

My Star Trek podcast @greatesttrek.bsky.social is raising money for out of work entertainment laborers who can’t earn a living right now because the shitty assholes at the AMPTP are so greedy. You can help! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/fodsforlabor

gotta be a big ‘are we the baddies?’ moment for the texas troops when the orders come down to push kids into the river

thoughts on montreal after a week here: everywhere is great but i specifically love the neighborhoods of verdun and little portugal bike lanes! love it! wide variety of truly great food with maybe one exception, everyone has been incredibly friendly and generous with my non-french speaking self

have not posted much about being in montreal but i feel compelled to say that this was one of the best almond croissants i’ve ever eaten

There are just so many fucked up parts to this story: The abortion happened before Roe v Wade was overturned. A young man was involved but only got probation while the mom and daughter face jail. Facebook gave the cops their private messages. A friend turned them in. This is all just so so fucked up

I wrote about the first four Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN movies for filmfreakcentral.net - including both cuts of SUPERMAN II: https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2023/06/superman-4k-collection.html

I can only send tweets. I cannot read any. This is amazing. Twitter has never worked better for me.

New very good boy on the scene.

I prefer my social networks to be dumb fun rather than dumb dumb.

Best parallel I can think of is if we tried to invade Canada because we thought Vancouver was basically ours, the entire US military got tied up in the forest, then Blackwater turned on us and started heading towards DC overnight, except Blackwater was financed by Rachael Ray.

Pieces of that billionaire’s body will be eaten by fish, that will in turn be eaten by other fish, that will eventually be eaten by us. Soon, eating fish will give us all a less than zero opportunity to actually eat the rich. Nature is wonderful.

Watch the trailer for Re-Encounter at Farpoint right now and then get a ticket to see the show tonight! https://youtu.be/4jAuQEVIHIY

Sara is doing a wild mix of WGA strike / Sierra On-Line adventure games these days and the world is better for her efforts.

We weren't doing it to get rich in 1987. But I could pay a mortgage with what I made writing Black Orchid and Sandman, and the rates for writers are the same or below what I made back then.

i must not quote-skeet bad content. engagement is the account-killer. dunking is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the bait. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will mute. only my feed will remain

This makes sense since Twitter has become a bit of an amalgam of the other three: a right wing propaganda network run by a narcissist wending its way to bankruptcy

If you like Star Trek the Next Generation, maybe you’ll like the comedy show I’m performing in on Saturday at the Bell House! We’re revisiting the pilot episode and it’s gonna be a good time. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-greatest-generation-live-the-re-encounter-at-farpoint-tickets-630080637147

Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence presupposes a binary where none exists. In this paper we document the phenomenon of malicious incompetence and outline the structures of haute bullshitterie it is predicated upon. 🧵

Good morning blueskies have you ever wondered what shape the universe is?? I made a little video over on TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTREw6DRs/

PSA: The brilliant Walter Chaw is on here @mangiotto.bsky.social. Hope he writes here more. But if you’re not hip to who he is you can read some of his film essays here: https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/walter-chaw/

Tina Turner's final words to Angela Bassett: "Her final words to me — for me — were ‘You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world.’" https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/tina-turner-dead-celeb-tributes-1235499933/

people talk a lot about how the tech press treated elon musk for all these years and can I just say that I had that motherfucker’s number in 2017 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/18/tesla-workers-factory-conditions-elon-musk

God-tier picket sign.

420 of them killed a man to get an invite code so they could take a good gander at Alf’s hairy dangler.

As the person who started the Transparency Engineering team at Google over TEN years ago I want to be absolutely clear that Phony Stark is full of shit.

"now that crime is illegal in Canada we do not see a path forward for us"

On Greatest Trek today we’re taking a look at an early role of Kate Mulgrew’s: an old money conservative politician on Cheers! You might find this diverting: https://maximumfun.org/episodes/greatest-trek/ep-221-her-shoulders-are-not-unbig-cheers-s4e24-26/

🤷‍♂️

I’ve no idea what “butts”, “/honk”, or “ALF” are about and I’m pretty sure as a middle aged dude that means this blizzard of inscrutable memes is a sure sign of real fun party the neighbours are throwing.
