Ray 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...
Grace Kelly’s vacation in Jamaica, 1955. Reportage by Howell Conant.
It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”
The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.
Great start to the day. Spain win! Argentina lost. Messi lost. Messi misses out on the golden boot. Argentina didn’t seem to show up for the game.
Were I an incredibly rich author I would simply live my life in a way that meant I did not have to send legal threats to Amnesty International.
Not sure why but have always remembered Rembrandt’s The Anatomy Lesson.

I don’t go on threads often but this is a great post about the Argentina v Egypt game!
It’s hard to imagine anyone can be more hated than the USA in the World Cup but Argentina managed to do it! One of the most tainted cups ever.
Not saying they are definitely going to win but while walking the dog yesterday we randomly found a fez and I am taking that as a good omen. Canada 🇨🇦 v Morocco 🇲🇦 World Cup 2026 #CANMAR | #FIFAWorldCup
Gutted! I have thoughts but at the end of the day we just didn’t do enough. Australia 🇦🇺 v Egypt 🇪🇬 World Cup 2026 #AUSEGY | #FIFAWorldCup
Great game. Shame to loose either team but very excited to see Morocco progress! Netherlands 🇳🇱 v Morocco 🇲🇦 World Cup 2026 #NEDMAR | #FIFAWorldCup
I’ve read enough @stephenking.bsky.social to realise it’s time to find a supermarket to hide in with a religious nutter sends the folks crazy!

I’ve way more Tshirts than is really needed (over 50!) but couldn’t resist this from @flanaganswakepod.bsky.social. Such a fun dark shirt from poking fun at @mikeflanaganfilm.com best show Midnight Mass. Good news is money is going to charity but still might not wear it to work at the Vet Clinic!
The art that Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois drew for Daveigh really hit me hard. God, it's so sad what happened to her. No one played Lilo as well as her.
Decisions decisions…. Two of my teams playing each other. No matter what happens this should hopefully be good. Scotland 🏴 v Morocco 🇲🇦 World Cup 2026 #SCOMAR | #FIFAWorldCup
One is a yellow & one is apparently all good nothing to see here! (I have no problem with us getting a yellow but come on surely then they both are and we shouldn’t be protecting big names) #USAAUS | #FIFAWorldCup
Breaking: Israeli Ambassador refuses to say if Israel will cooperate with probe into rape allegations by Aus women & attacks AFP calling their investigation “futile”, suggests a “witch hunt” Interfering with an investigation is illegal. He should be charged, processed & expelled
Not a fan of these ‘drinks breaks’ & the World Cup being in America but hard not to get caught up in it. All three of my teams playing today. So far 1 draw. Hopefully better results in the other two!!
"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot." I like this kid.
Deadline@deadline.com · 2mo agoWith a record-breaking A24 directorial debut under his belt at age 20, Kane Parsons doesn't see a place for AI in Hollywood's future.
This is such an underrated movie by Cartoon Saloon. It’s quite possibly their best & never gets mentioned.

Edinburgh Zoo's baby capybara has been named Bru, as in Irn Bru, the national drink of Scotland. I would die for Bru.
Looks incredible.

This is your reminder to look out for the Weinstein Effect. Which is when the extreme horrors committed by men become the new bar for immorality. Anything “less than a Weinstein” is now tolerated, even if everyone agrees a man was violent or exploitative. Don’t let abuses of power become the norm.
