They should have given it to A24

Well fuck

Just saw Digger in vistavision. Fucking glorious. The movies are BACK.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

So I got my hands on a Sony FX5 before the shipping delays and I have to say so far that camera is a weapon. Amazing ability to recover underexposure among other things

Why did the director of Reservoir Dogs not release a camping-themed movie during the pandemic under the name Tentin Quarantino

Just finished Wolf Worm by @tkingfisher.com. So great! Really latches on and doesn’t let go until it’s done with you.

I would also argue that it’s often the people for whom the conventional structures of society don’t fit. Because there’s an amount of conservatism in the conventional path - partner, job, kids, house, etc - the people outside that don’t see the same value in it, and dream of something else.

I just finished reading the Craft Sequence by @maxgladstone.bsky.social , and holy shit every book is glorious.

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

@theonion.com really nailed the headline on this one

This is incredible.

I am glad to have close friends but also am saving this as a reminder to waste time with them without thought to the cost

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

When I was a kid I read that wasps don’t sting you if you stand still, so I hit a nest and they all flew out angrily, and then went back in. I told all my friends to come watch and did it again, and the wasps stung me so many times, and I ran away crying. Thinking about that for no reason.

Is it so hard to add “contradicting official statement by mediator, Pakistan” ??

Honestly, I’ve thought for a long time now that petrol really needs to be like $3+\L to make clear what a valuable resource it actually is, and also spur development of alternative forms of energy. That said I simultaneously believe this, and don’t like living it.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Jfc. Every one of these thugs should be prosecuted immediately.
