If you love your library, listen up…

Stephen King should write a novel where the main character is a writer. That would be kind of fun and meta.

@galeannehurd.bsky.social produced some truly iconic stuff - the kinds of movies that make people want to become filmmakers.

Caught part of TREMORS on TV the other day. Man I love it. Movies like this just don’t really get made anymore, and I’m not just talking about the incredible practical effects work — I mean movies with this kind of tone and energy.

I storyboarded this film! Easily the most insert shots I’ve ever drawn on a project

In high school someone broke the glass in the fire extinguisher cases, so the school put sheets of plywood into them in place of glass. Someone then wrote “In Case of Fire Burn Wood” on the plywood and I still laugh about that to this day.

Long Covid makes every day of my life pretty bad, but I want to get down on my knees and thank the universe that I was 40 when I got it and not 12 or 18 or 25. The capacity it will suck out of young people’s lives is devastating. Some will never get the chance to be all they could’ve been.

Everyone has covid brain damage and y'all can't convince me otherwise.

Yes, millions of people will suffer but at least it's for a good cause: because one old asshole wanted to avoid going to jail for crimes he committed

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Have fun, guys

I’ve occasionally caught clips of JACK THE GIANT KILLER (1962) and assumed it was just a Harryhausen/Sinbad knockoff (it is) but it also has some pretty cool bits too. Like these witches:

Turns out people will believe pretty much anything if ‘mimosas with the girls’ is on the line.

“Bro, Covid is a boiweapon that isn’t real bro it was created in a lab by the government to cull the population and you have to catch it a lot so you can get that immunity cause it’s just a cold but also it doesn’t exist why are you wearing a mask bro help how am I this stupid”

Having a conversation as an adult now: “Hey, have you heard about all the bad stuff?” “OMG yes, so much bad stuff!” “Everything is really terrible now!” “I know, it’s so awful!” “Yeah.” “I kind of wish I was dead.”

People can’t even handle masking, so forgive me if I find the odds of revolution incredibly low.

I just…have my suspicions about the revolutionary capacity of a left-wing population who abandoned disabled and high-risk people at the drop of a hat for an assurance of their own normality. But it’s not to late to fix that particular choice (except for all the dead and disabled people who can’t)

Why does RFK always look like he’s trying to pop out of his own skin?

Well yeah, they’re not going to ban their own flag.

Spoiler alert: if any health organization or, say, member of the Kennedy family tells you they’re here to stop chronic health issues and does not mention masking, covid vaccination, or avoiding illnesses that cause chronic conditions, they are entirely full of shit.

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

My favorite Elon story is when Elon and his handler came into a high end restaurant run by someone I know on a busy Sat night demanding to be seated with no reservation. Handler said, “Do you know who this is?? This is Elon Musk!” Guy I know said “I don’t know who that is” & sent them off in a huff.

I try not to be too cynical AND YET the speed with which so many prominent people, institutions, and even the supposed political opposition have rolled over for these Nazi scumbags is making it impossible. “Going invertebrate” is all the rage! 🪼

Is anyone else unnerved by how much Trump of all people has given over to being Elon’s bitch? Wtf is going on? The Trump ego I’m familiar with would never allow himself to be upstaged like this. What does Elon have on this guy?

Reading adult books when I was a kid bettered my life, opened up a new scope of the world to me, made me a smarter person, helped add more dimension to my personality, and taught me things about life and adulthood that clearly nobody else was going to.

post an animation style that you love ✨

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.
