in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

one of the most infuriating things about kids is their tendency to ask opaque questions and doubling down 7yo: dada what are our numbers? me: what? 7yo: OUR NUMBERS

Saw this on Reddit yesterday, the site is cookingforengineers.com and when I say it's rewired my brain FINALLY easy to read and understand recipes at a glance, I love it SO MUCH

I often think about how some artists’ work gets worse the longer their career lasts, as they gradually become too important to bother with things like editors and advice and rejection, and the restraint and discipline that shaped their early successes is heedlessly discarded

the two self-written spotify bios: “established way back in 2023, SKIBIDI DRIVE have been credited for inventing music. touring with contemporaries like BILLY CORGAN’s roadie and EFFERVESCENT, both crowds and critics believe they are the best humanity has to offer.” and “rock bamd from cali (:”

ever notice how some star signs are more marketable than others? - ford taurus, not ford sagittarius - libra tampons, not scorpio tampons - google gemini, not google cancer

I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Has anyone else noticed that futures made of virtual insanity now always seem to be governed by this love we have for useless twisting of their new technology

The statue of Cristo Redentor above Rio de Janeiro is so sought after by film makers looking for iconic establishing shots of the city that it has its own air traffic control tower.

It's safe to assume that all major LLMs are scraping Bluesky data to train future models. As an open protocol, Bluesky is one of the few sources of fresh human-generated content that anybody can gobble up. So all this is probably going in the models. There are submarines in the Great Lakes.

if all this Odyssey chat has got you hankering, don’t sleep on THE RETURN (2025). Juliette Binoche leaves Anne Hathaway in the dust and it’s not even close.

Losing to the baby you bathed sounds like a Greek myth

WOW THIS PHOTO IS INSANE LORE NOW Lamine Yamal and Messi will now be competing against each other 19 years after this photo at the World Cup Final

1 like = 1 actor who is just excellent in everything. as a starter you can have Toby Huss for free.

if I had a dollar for every time abusers felt the need to jam themselves into the official photos when a Spanish team won a FIFA World Cup I’d have $2, but weird that it’s happened twice in the last three years

Name your fav Halloween costume.

Years ago, Reuters had a cock up with their internal correction system and made this glorious article about Bees where they replaced "The Queen" with "Queen Elizabeth"

Anyway if you've already seen THE ODYSSEY and you want another historical epic about the complexities of faith and the darkening of an age might I recommend Sir Ridley in all his Director's Cut glory?

directors love to give us one-shot sequences full of bombast and technical braggadocio, but seem to forget the technology of simply leaving the camera running can also apply to soft, simple scenes with emotional weight.
