incredible things happening on the Getty Villa wikipedia page

My dad moved out to LA in the 70s to work in the industry and has had a great, fulfilling career. All my friends & loved ones in film & animation NOW are looking for work, rethinking longtime careers, unable to continue work. It is so heartbreaking to watch the bottom fall out in real time

Officially have a little village of @pamwishbow.bsky.social’s houses, with all the types of shops that I want near me at all time (and one rooftop garden bc I ran out of room)

allow me to help remedy this by reminding people that the queen is releasing 6 new tracks for the anniversary 🙏🏼

Very much enjoying catfishing.net which gives you categories of Wikipedia pages and you have to guess the article. Today I did the best I’ve done, but honestly often a 4 is triumphant #455 - 7/10 🐈🐈🐟🐈🐟 🐈🐟🐈🐈🐈

pretty solid run if I do say so myself

I can’t even verbalize how much this erasing of history distresses me, but I WILL use the opportunity to say that in the 18th c, Phila. law said if slaves lived there for 6 continuous months, they would be freed. Washington *rotated his slaves back to Mount Vernon* so they would remain enslaved

I would die for Pack Cat

to name a few: modicum, plinth, dour, vinyl, draught, victuals, forecastle also a related category of words I misunderstood because of unclear context: nonplussed, desultory, salt of the earth, laconic, peruse, bemused

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

New movie (Blade) added to my ongoing list of films set in “present day” boxd.it/dMdta

TFW u open BlueSky and a bunch of ppl are vaguely posting about the same shit

Apollo 13 (the film) was what first got me interested in the space program. Lost Moon, Lovell's book that it was adapted from, cemented it. He was an incredible man, an unassuming leader, a great astronaut, and I am legitimately heartbroken that he never got to set foot on the moon.

WHAT A MORNING!!!!!!!!! (cannot possibly describe how proud I am of this image)

it is no exaggeration to say that Hersey’s Hiroshima is one of the most affecting, devastating pieces of reporting in the last century. I don’t see how you can read it and not come away with the soul-deep belief that every nuke should be fully dismantled and the blueprints obliterated.

Also what a good time to say that ✨ I've got some some space for new clients & studios ✨ for the rest of the year! If you are looking for social strategy work in games, discord support, writing, newsletters, and things of that nature, please reach out! Website/portfolio can be found ⤵️

Pro tip: don't listen to fictional books about things you care deeply about (space program), even if it's more of the Shuttle era vs Mercury / Gemini / Apollo because you WILL get mad that the audiobook narrator pronounces EECOM wrong and that the protag keeps "volunteering" for CAPCOM shifts

RETVRN

Think of England by KJ Charles does this moment masterfully AND it’s where the title comes into play, no notes

the prophesy has been fulfilled 🙏🏼 (I am an npc in @gogotowngame.com)

the most amount of new merch we have had...ever?? I am very excited about this year!!

Cannot wait to see what’s next for BSG, and beyond excited for Disc 2 as well. It’s a great team of storytellers they got there!

This lives in my head rent-free now, along with Sarah Vowell’s bit that the first draft of the Gettysburg Address was just “goddamn fucking Meade”

I’ll do this for names of people or things if I can’t find the right word. nameTK or drinkTK and you can search for “tk” pretty easily

In the journey through Blue Prince @jacobstrick.bsky.social have been referring to each successive level of puzzle as a level of hell which means our text messages look like this

Jaw-dropping reporting by Haaretz www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

mystified by two inclusions in what appears to be the pride section of the alaska airlines movie selection

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

Beltway DNC talking heads yell about how Dems need to cut out Muslims, cut out immigrants, cut out trans folk. And it turns out once again what voters WANT is a candidate who aggressively supports all those groups and more.

what the fuck

Unsurprisingly, Dad was fantastic, and as a bonus, showed everyone a photo of him in screening room #7 at Technicolor in 1986 (he’s in the middle)

My dad's first job in the industry was at Technicolor supervising dailies, where he earned bragging rights to say "you know, I saw this film before anyone else!" Come to this great presentation by him & his fellow Academy members on the history of film labs this Thurs at @academymuseum.bsky.social

getting to use an interoffice pneumatic tube system would fix me

Me: hey, I think I have fully beaten Blue Prince, that took 163 hours, 212 in-game days, 14 pages of notes, a giant PureRef board and @jacobstrick.bsky.social collaborating but I think we did it! The subreddit: YOU THOUGHT! I am up to the teal line 😅 which at least is 20/26 BUT STILL

as a native Angeleno, if the LA Times under Soon-Shiong is printing this, then it’s unequivocal

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

screaming that the @discountcemetery.bsky.social tribute to the Burbank Fry's came with a copy of a Fry's flyer from 2011 🙏🏼

SO lucky to be able to get a chance to play this and it is so much fun and I am obsessed with the design ⚔️

If you're setting up a Steam sale / event / whatever, I am B E G G I N G you to make social graphics that make it easy for marketers to drop in key art that we already have. If it's blocking half of it, if it's a frame that cuts in, it takes ages to customize and it is so frustrating pls 😭

Another day, another victory for my “photos to show people” folder ft. the death of the founder of Ralphs grocery store, a giant gold embossed biography about Reagan (that I have seen IN PERSON) and the biography of Dr. Gay Hitler, Ohioan dentist (no relation)

I do think hiring someone external to cut a trailer can be so helpful as a fresh set of eyes to see how the story of your game is being conveyed—and how it can be even better (still in awe at the Riven trailer tbh). Anyway, fill out this survey for Derek!

Lots to look forward to 👀 (also how is it almost time for the MIX???)

traveling with someone who has airline status when you don’t is the closest experience modern life can offer to squiring for a knight

sorry but if your plantation is a hotel that designed new outdoor cottages people can stay in after the site's slave quarters then perhaps you need to do some self-reflection now that it's burned down

live footage of me playing blue prince

They should put a pope hat on the bean.

may this american pope follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, Lenny Belardo 🙏🏼

Man, this Met Gala feels like such a breath of fresh air. Even if the “official” theme isn’t explicitly about Black dandyism, I’m glad so many people took the exhibit theme to heart because god damn these looks are so good

🙏🏼
