God if the outcome of all this is a discovery that a specific type of black mold makes you a weird bigot I'm gonna have a hearty chuckle then fill my pockets with stones and walk into a lake. We are now living in the mold age. The mildew years. The roaring fungis.

Suuuure it's the "molds" fault. Whats next, a very specific strain of mold that turns children's book authors into raging terfs?

Astonished any time “English actor Robert Russell“ is on screen in Witchfinder General (1968) because that’s very clearly Kenny Omega what are you even talking about.

It’s definitely lighter than other stuff in that universe. But it’s still…in that universe.

This is so disappointing from Miller, a guy known for his diligence and attention to every creative detail. AI couldn't do Babe: Pig in the City, and I know that sounds like sarcasm, but have you seen that movie lately? It's so gloriously weird.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

I now have a neon, '90s, ninja Scarlett t-shirt, that I designed after restoring the card back art. You can wear one too, or wear any of the other ridiculous '90s GI Joe shirts that I would've loved as a kid.

If I’m defining horror very broadly, the three movies I saw in film school that most effed me up were Man Bites Dog (1992), Naked (1993), and Gozu (2003). The first two for their nihilism and the third for body horror.

It was so funny seeing that other dwarves in the series don’t even look like that. He’s just his own little freak.

I love all of the characters, but Eisen is sorely underrepresented in Frieren merchandise. I think he’s great.

This is INCREDIBLE. The Bearded Vulture has multigenerational nests that last for hundreds of years, built in very secluded places — and they’re FULL OF ANTHROPOGENIC ARTIFACTS.

Jonathan C Slaght @jonathanslaght.com · 7d

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉
