I marvel at how Jim Henson’s brain worked. This was a presentation piece to the executives at CBS when he was trying to get them, ultimately unsuccessfully, to pick up THE MUPPET SHOW... But if you’re a TV executive sitting in a boardroom watching this, there’s no way it’s not leaving an impression.

"That's the whole salad? That's it?" Never change, Grover.

Goodnight, friends. I'm enjoying watching the sky turn its evening colors and the lightning bugs start their dancing. I love you.

if you want your digital work to look more traditional, you have to know how the traditional medium works and why it works that way and how to mimic its quirks! these are all completely digital (although I wasn't necessarily trying to fool anybody with them haha, there are super obviously tells)

Between visceral shock and devastating sadness, I keep repeating “please, someone, tell me this isn’t real.” It’s so gutting that such a brave, gentle woman could meet such a brutal end. She deserved to die gently, of old age, surrounded by all the beauty she so loved, surrounded by her beloved.

One of the greatest to ever do it and one of the biggest influences on my own work. Reading her changed my life.

It no longer makes the news, but displacement is a reality for over a million in Lebanon because of the Israeli agression. Ali and his family are one such displaced family.

Mona Khalil spent her life protecting baby turtles near the Mediterranean. Israel killed her in an airstrike. I keep thinking about her and how I wish I'd met her or even known about her before she was murdered. she said she would continue protecting the turtles "As long as God gives me life."

There are many ways to find it but the easiest is by doing things that bring you pleasure. Flow state comes easy when you're doing something you love.

So I'll ask you too: In what areas of your life are you depriving yourself of pleasure?

The bubble has already burst. Reality won't set in on Wall Street for some time.

My phone case has a sticker that came with a Beth Revis book. I like it a lot

I feel like all of us should collectively agree to answer these questions from now on with "that capitalism necessitate an underclass and billionaires should not exist" no matter what our books are about.

"Fortes said the rows of industrial air conditioners on the roof of the data center constantly hum and he claims exhaust from the four metal chimneys that rise from the data center's emergency generators flow toward his bedroom windows." The sound would force me to abandon my home.
