"Hey did you finish that art of the Sméagol attacking Sam scene?" "Sure thing boss, real sexy just like you wanted." "What?"

Jodorowsky's Roadside Picnic.

Jinenger, an eccentric, energetic mountain yam, is an unofficial mascot for Shiroi City.

Oakland. Bates Street. Caller reports a woman chanting outside since sunrise. Caller doesn't like this. Happy Ostara.

I'd never seen the play before and this has totally spoiled me for it. I watched some clips of other versions and the actors seem half asleep in comparison.

Been re-reading Calvin & Hobbes and the art really is next level. Amazing expressions, dynamic poses, great lighting tricks like this one. What a comic.

I watched SATANTANGO a few years ago. I guess the streaming platform didn’t expect content to be that long, because it silently froze at the six hour mark in a totally black, silent moment. I watched it for a full minute before thinking “You know, this seems extreme even for you.” RIP, Béla Tarr.

@dcorsetto.bsky.social Hi! Just wanted to let you know, I think girlswithslingshots.com is down. Haven’t been able to load anything since yesterday.

Reminded of when my family adopted a completely white cat, and we were spitballing ideas on the drive home. “Snowball” “Sugar” Dad: ”Cokey” Mom: “NO”

I get a lot of Republican spam "from" Winsome Earle-Sears, and all I can see in my head is this guy. I did finally look them up, but I will not be updating my mental image at this time.

LinkedIn wants me to nudge my dead uncle to play some games, and Telegram just told me my father-in-law has joined Telegram from beyond the grave. Happy Halloween, I guess. 👻

Thinking about songs that rhyme with each other. “Rockin‘ the Suburbs” and… youtu.be/34u_3Z9_LUw

Guess he read that Jacobin article.

“Starbucks holds nearly $2 billion of customers’ money in its rewards program. That’s more than the total deposits managed by 85 percent of chartered banks, making the coffee chain one of the biggest financial institutions in the country.”

I don’t know how much hearing the Franz Ferdinand show cost me, but it was totally worth it. My only real regret is not being down in the pit for Take Me Out, because that looked like a blast.

It’s just so hard to get good bagels in some places.

RIP. He may have stopped performing decades ago, but still a man for our time. youtu.be/iaHDBL7dVgs

"Fix Your Heart or Die: The Startling Empathy of David Lynch"

“Broken Heart” (David Lynch, 2013)

i think every friday will be david lynch day from now on, it won’t be the same without him telling me it’s friday tho :((((

I never understood Winamp people. Why have a little rectangle for my music when I could have THIS??

“🎵 Nosferatu… why don’t you come to your senses? You’ve been _____________, For so long now” My brain has been trying to finish this rhyme all morning.

Scale everyone down about 25%. Everyone immediately becomes cheaper to feed, house, and move around. (I swear I had this idea years before Hank Green’s God video.)

What Golden Age actors would’ve made great Doctors (of the Who variety)? Like, take Katherine Hepburn’s manic energy from Bringing Up Baby, add the raw intelligence from Desk Set, and put her in a snappy suit.

Dang, I’d forgotten how hard the artwork for Phoenix (1983) went. Armored, rocket-firing hawks! Planet-sized bird temples! EXPLOSIONS!

Yoshi’s Island (1995) stands out because something was broken with our SNES (or TV?) and it couldn’t show color. I played the entire first world in grayscale before we fixed it. Seeing the game in full color for the first time was mind-blowing.

Great news for my Hole Family.

An extremely stoic hawk being jeered by a gang of crows.

A friend once shouted “Sweet flakey gods!” after getting a spotlight in the eyes and the phrase has stuck with me ever since.

Brian Eno on generative AI: “I’m intrigued and bored at the same time: I find it quickly becomes quite tedious. I have a sort of inner dissatisfaction when I play with it, a little like the feeling I get from eating a lot of confectionery when I’m hungry.”

[My brain after listening to The Smiths] Hang the DJ, hang the DJ “Bang the DJ”, sang the DJ Dang the DJ, harangue the DJ Aang the DJ 🌬️ , Krang the DJ 🧠 …etc

Disturbed Andy’s nap last night and got a little blep out of it.

The NYT Tech Guild is striking and asking people not to play Wordle, Connections, etc. If you're jonesing for puzzles but don't want to cross the picket line, check out Puzzmo!

Wait, what?

Love you too, Ally Bob.

Michael and Denise Okuda are a delight. What a great interview

This was helpful after seeing the numbers people throw around for LLM energy usage. My read is that the draw is significant but not apocalyptic, and will probably level off over time. Especially once we stop subsidizing it with VC money and people have to pay to make their stupid pictures.

It’d be so unfortunate if this obviously satirical article resulted in a spate of real-life Cybertruck salami-ing. Just terrible. Sure hope nobody gets any ideas. 😐

My timeline is full of women in tech who are fiber artists of some sort. I got into embroidery, but the knitters are beyond counting.

So much knowledge to be found in used bookstores.

So many interesting designs that I’d love to live in, if regulations permitted.
