holy shit

The internet, on scientists: They're secretive gatekeepers, they hoard esoterica/the truth, they don't want anyone in their ivory tower little clubs Actual scientists: LOOK, WE FOUND A 300 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSILIZED CLOACCAL IMPRESSION AND THE VENT IS HORIZONTAL!

Diaper pantries and food banks are running on fumes these days. Signing up for a recurring gift of $25/month can make a genuine, substantial difference on the ground.

ReedPop wants to be Coachella but if it doesn’t improve its management, organization and greed it’ll end up being Altamont.

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

It's very gross to warp the messages of iconic authors for your mass death campaigns but it's a feature of capitalism. Just look at the billionaire ai techbro obsession with LoTR, a story with an anti-industrial message. They love to divorce these stories from their meaning, leaving only aesthetic.

The White House shitter account posted a pro-iran war propaganda video that included clips of the yugioh anime, so I figure this is a good time to remind everyone that Kazuki Takahashi was staunchly anti-war and he died a hero, unlike any american in Iran right now.

In the 1790s a London woman named Eliza Denyer developed a modest reputation as a restorer of medieval manuscripts. She was forgotten by scholars and, in one case, her restorations were deliberately replaced by a man’s. I recovered her story & tracked all her known work here: tinyurl.com/2ktztx2e

Pokopia!!

DST kicked my ass but this is the last one for my area thankfully 🙏

After two decades, Samurai Champloo's soundtrack is still iconic. Its influence is everywhere. Shinichiro Watanabe loved underground hip hop -- and he hired artists like Nujabes to create music that doesn't just fall into the background. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-music-...

this creepy fucking prick.

Remember a few years ago the anonymous open letter from Pixar employees that said this happens to their work ALL the time. And now the CCO just says it outright.

Delighted to be able to see Pillion again outside of a very rowdy film fest audience. Liked it even more the second time!

Always going to recommend this game but especially when it's on sale

Update: They are up over 50,000 videos now, and besides the decade-by-decade playlists, they have channels for MTV2, VH1 Pop-Up Video, MTV Spring Break, 120 Minutes, Headbanger's Ball, Yo! MTV Raps, and more. wantmymtv.vercel.app

Game pubs should have to pay some kind of fee for the projects they cancel that goes specifically to the devs whose work is just destroyed, I'm so serious.

i helped troubleshoot the questions for this survey and would Love for you to fill it out!

helps quite a bit if I'm being honest

Couple things here: 1. What the fuck 2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen 3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out! www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

1) It still looks uncanny and weird 2) there's a zero percent change they didn't have a team of people working to clean it up to presentable "We tried CGI" I'm sure.

HEY 👇 so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2. tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games. it's gonna be fun. we hope you tune in.

"I can't believe they let them make this movie" - in reference to some movie from 30+ years ago. The reason they did it was because there were more studios. We had "mini majors." They needed to stand out somehow, so they took more weird chances. This is one reason we need to break up the studios.

A fun role reversal seeing Jensen choking Misha this time around #TheBoys

Had a lovely chat with Tonda at DICE! Only had a few minutes to speak but I told him how much the letter in the tomb was such a powerful bit of writing.

Hey all, our internet just got turned off and I need it for work. The past due is $150 so any help is appreciated.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

UPDATE: dude you would not believe the stories I’m hearing about this woman from like 8 other people since I put this post up.

I interviewed the directors of that incredible animated Gorillaz music video:

I can't believe they just admit that their vp of animation could make less than $200k a year out in the open like that

Iwao Takamoto was one of the Disney greats. Films like Sleeping Beauty owe a lot to his meticulous lines. The studio was a kind of home for him -- it was a big change. Just before, he'd been in the camps. We explore the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/takamoto-a...
