29. He/Him. I once saw a flock of vultures circle the steeple of a church and the pastor asked me if it meant something and I said “Idk i think they just like doing that.”
“‘You have to be an illusionist,’ he argued, ‘and not a photographer.’” Hell yeah, Ray. Hell yeah.
Animation Obsessive@ani-obsessive.bsky.social · 2d agoRay Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

My precious child, when you saw only one set of footprints in the sand, that's when the giant eagle picked me up and carried me away. You must hunt down this bird and avenge me.
The 4th with Grogu was tough. Kept wanting to shoot bottle rockets out of his teeth. One finally got the little guy. Jesus, man. What a sound
Ken Lowery@kenlowery.bsky.social · 6d agohey the "elaborating on gruesome ways Grogu died" bit is still good. or would be, if that thing with the elevator doors hadn't happened
We’d rather hire the Combine to put manhacks in schools than control guns.
Michaela Joffe@joffeorama.bsky.social · last wk.This is great news with our track record! There’s been decades of headlines involving the words “America”, “drone” and “school” in them, and while I haven’t read any of the articles themselves I assume they were all very positive.

Yeah, let's name the eradication of personality in housing after the generation that, famously, owns no property.

![Millennial grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]
Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]
To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:atdbmignbrjbjgj2ba4axnwl/bafkreidgcz72oqo4dwsqlv2ovhewwekbfxdo7ydluyrffhlijqkg2546gy)

Waking up to discover that one of the kindest, most talented actors on the planet died. I adored Sam Neill. He was a tremendous talent and good person.

i think the funniest thing about this specific ai art argument is we already have a cultural reference point for technically competent realism with no artistic soul that no one wanted to see or buy. hes called adolf hitler
