I’ll put it more simply: my first (and best) aerobatic flight instructor looked me in the eye before our first lesson and said: “remember, airplanes really like the ground. They really really like the ground.”

Aviation is inherently dangerous: a million pounds of metal and fuel magically flying at 500mph. The engineering and systems we have developed are just amazing and have given everyone the idea that it’s all cheap and safe. It ain’t. It’s expensive and it requires constant vigilance and organization.

✨Whilst photographing for Janet Gough’s new book Divine Light: The Stained Glass of England’s Cathedrals, I travelled the length and breadth of the country. I put the full journey into a single digest so that you could experience it too... 👉 www.digest.andymarshall.co/divine-light...

Want to put some concrete good out in the world tonight? Make a lasagna for a neighbor who could use a homecooked meal. Don't know whom you would give it to? Sign up to volunteer with @lasagnalove.bsky.social and you'll get paired with a family in need in your community. lasagnalove.org/volunteer

It's Monday night. In our household, that means I'll be spending the evening making lasagna for @lasagnalove.bsky.social. I'd like to tell you a little bit about why. Lasagna Love is a nonprofit group that connects folks in need of comfort food with home chefs nearby who can provide them.

Chimayó with poachies.

They cloned my baby! 😍❤️

I really hope it works out for Xbox. It is a thing, an idea, an effort, a dream and an accomplishment that is so dear to me that I can’t really describe it in words. So, go sweet Xbox go. Do the right thing. Make us smile.

The games business is about games. If you’re in the games business, and somehow (as often happens) your company somehow is now focused on something else (AI, XR, “IP,” acquisitions, etc.) you’re in for a period of struggle. Everyone will wonder what’s wrong. But you know. It’s about games. Gameplay.

This is glorious. In a right time, right place moment, I met @seamus.bsky.social when he toured that prototype at MIT. First time I understood the meaning of "covet." You could've stuck it in the MoMA.r

I am reminded why I laugh so hard when people from Seattle complain about Los Angeles traffic.

@seamus.bsky.social Having to downsize so I can’t keep the old girl anymore. You and your team changed the world and I’ll always remember the amazing time I had with my friends playing on this machine. Not my first (that one had the cursed Thompson drive and died) but still manufactured Nov 2001

@lillywachowski.bsky.social fun fact if Kitaue at Konami did in fact block you from working with Kojima… he was the first Japanese publisher exec I spoke to about Xbox, and he both refused to say anything in English (“Mr. Kitaue hates English”) and assured me Americans could never make a console.

This Mexican WWII poster is some of the hardest shit ever

Wait what? I never saw this.

Whoa, HOW did I miss this?? The guy who got me sourdough ready, and showed me how to old school bagel bake… @yeastmaster himself!⤵️⤵️

@parkermolloy.com unfollow? Bah. Doubling down.

Mad props to the crew of NOAA42, flying through hurricanes to get actionable data.

Videogames and physics are linked in some kind of spooky deep way. Someone smarter than me needs to figure it out.

Can we make mental contact with aliens using our most universal science, physics? What if our physics is more human than we expect, alien science more alien? This is the topic of my book, "Do Aliens Speak Physics?" out next week! Here's what @seamus.bsky.social said about it:

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Anyway, Higinbotham was the first physicist to devise a video game system but certainly not the last. I am looking at you, @seamus.bsky.social. (12/12)

I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end. (this is an experiment in thread transfer)

Physicist William Higinbotham was born #OTD in 1910. During the Manhattan Project he was the Electronics Group leader at Los Alamos. In 1958, while working at Brookhaven Lab, he invented one of the first video games: “Tennis for Two.” It ran on an oscilloscope! 🧪 ⚛️ Image: Brookhaven National Lab

An absolutely wonderful thread about making bread from scratch, including the yeast! There are microscopic bugs, big bugs, squirrels, pheasants, and BARKING DEER in this thread, so buckle up, buttercup! We're making bread!

Sourdough. 100% whole wheat. Hard to do.

This is why Ninja Gaiden Black remains unsurpassed in my estimation.

Irony has been tortured for years in an improvised dungeon under a split level in a suburban neighborhood of Palo Alto, and has just been found dead by neighbors investigating a strong smell.

Sure. Basically you need three cans of beans, you pureé one. Next, murder Maya sweet onions in extra virgin olive oil (I’m a big fan of Bono Sicilian from Val di Mazara) until golden brown, deglaze with a LITTLE Lucini fig vinegar, and a tablespoon of red wine. Add in garlic, ground rosemary powder…
