Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

My one beef is that Neeson's character should be in his 30s, but on the other hand the entire series requires some suspension of disbelief.

I saw the newest Naked Gun in Ireland!

Just as good as the first time I saw it in Canada and my feelings on it remain the same- it's an appropriate homage/sequel to the original but also relevant for modern times.

You are very cool indeed!

Also, I hope to get to Uzbekistan and other Central Asia 'stans in a few years; if you have tips I'd be ever grateful.

Am I cool? Well, I got up at 5 AM, spent 10p & rode most of Tashkent’s Soviet-era metro system for 5 hours straight. So yes, I am cool, ACTUALLY!

A black and white photo of the Alisher Navoi metro station in Tashkent featuring grand arched columns, patterned floor tiles and geometric ceiling patterns, creating a symmetrical, cathedral-like underground space of light and stone. Almost empty and still, the station waits for the daily rhythm of city life to begin.

A blue subway car waits at the platform under a ceiling adorned with intricate star-shaped and floral designs outlined in blue, reflecting elegant geometric artistry above urban transit.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

I would give this kitty all~~~ the treats.

Who could say no to this face when he wants treats?

A black and white cat sits on the floor, staring up with big round eyes as if begging for treats.

Also I guess I can't edit statuses on here, so obligatory hashtag reply: #templebarstreetart #dublin #gritty #hockey #streetartad

This piece of street art in the Temple Bar district in Dublin reminded me of Janel's status. The advertising team is getting creative in reaching tourists.

(Are they called statuses on BlueSky?)

The advertising team hit up Dublin's Temple Bar district as well! They're casting a wide net.

Didn't get too many photos of street art in Istanbul, sadly.

Unfortunately there was one of a cat and minaret I saw on the ride to the airport and I've scoured the Internet in vain so far to find it.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
