The best part of how Portland is handling this is they’re not only protesting, but also angering the goose steppers by not taking them seriously.

Pretty genius. Because even ICE & the national guard don’t want to be displayed as that asshole fighting people in cute costumes.

Favorite tool (besides my hands): needle nosed pliers. A.I. will never know the joy of versatility from pivoting in bow to create—how to build, how creations are made. How your hands ache and how you ignore it but feel it later.

The level of puppet-making around here has gotten insane. I’m fortunate to work with a crew of high schoolers who really want to make something special. Our Audrey II rigs are really coming together. #LittleShopofHorrors

Currently spinning TEZETA (Nostalgia) by Mulatu Astatke while making dinner. One of the epic new discoveries from #theBear soundtrack. This song blows me away.

I never thought this series would capture what it has, the reflection of what it feels like to be caught in our current American world of “two (+) steps back, one step forward”, scrambling to stay sane. High five.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social if Peacemaker isn’t the perfect show in this complicated moment our world has put us in, I don’t know what is. High fives to you, John Cena, and the whole crew.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

On this day in 1959 (66 years ago), The Twilight Zone, premiered on CBS. Hosted by its creator, Rod Serling, the show is often creepy, but always thought-provoking. It would run for 156 episodes and spawn multiple reboots.

Hot take: the true value of a 70s movie is based on how many actors from #theTwilightZone appear.

Ok, comics pros, what if we try to get as many of us to hit the Art of Manga Exhibit at the SFMOMA on the same day…? Like a little “pro-con” American tribute to the manga artists of Japan? Who’s in? www.famsf.org/exhibitions/...

Art of Manga

Manga — Japanese comics and graphic novels — have become a global phenomenon. Art of Manga showcases the world of manga from the 1970s to today.

But there’s Brandon Lee and Michael Wincott and practical models and sets and the score and the lady who “sometimes gave free ones” in Unforgiven and Tony Todd and Jon Polito.

Yeah—watching THE CROW for the first time since theaters on @criterion.bsky.social —in hindsight, an interesting mix of what came before it and what it laid groundwork for: ill-placed action cutting featuring hyper-planned shots, most too close, with no escalation and ultimately neutered impact
