Evening viewing recommendation? Watch A BETTER TOMORROW (1986) on our Hong Kong Action Classics collection! The box-office sensation that established director John Woo as the king of 1980s Hong Kong action cinema and set the standard for the heroic bloodshed genre.

I found one of the many drawings I used to do during German class in middle school circa 30 years ago. 😁

(I don't remember anything about German, but I learned everything about fictional spaceships. 🤷‍♂️)

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

A 126,000-year-old butt-drag just made fossil history.
A tiny rock hyrax scooted across the sand of ancient South Africa, and that moment was preserved in stone.

I think that's part of it but the other part is it's men -and in this case especially rich men - and they already don't do those tasks, so they don't see them. This is why we're getting Samsung TV's with ads and not fridges that remind us to eat the lettuce before it spoils

This is the tell that they don't want people with creative capacity. They want menials and drones that they can use extract wealth from their lives and labors, then discard before the next quarterly report.

The actual cruel burden is the point.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 5h

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

From one iconic design to another: Tron (1982) & Akira (1988)

Director and writer Katsuhiro Ōtomo: “In terms of Kaneda's bike in Akira, the initial inspiration was the lightcycles from Tron designed by Syd Mead. However, they are wide, so I halved them and used that as an initial basis.”

Had a visit from the chimken inspector this evening.
#EverybodyLovesMousecow

Mousecow ALMOST close enough to taste a piece of chimken held out for her, but not quite. Any moment now though, any moment now.

Mousecow has a little chunk of chimken on the top of her tongue, but she can still see chimken held out in front of her and I think it's disconnected her little brain.

Chimken in mouth, brain no worky nao.

One fed employee told me the internal conversations feel very different from previous shutdowns.

www.gravityisgone.com/federal-empl...

"Every other fed I've talked to agrees how much it sucks to be furloughed, but also that this shutdown needs to continue until the administration starts respecting the rule of law," said a NOAA employee. "Even the conservative Republicans."
