Anytime I do a talk or sit on a panel, I wonder afterwards "What did I say that will get me in trouble later?"

The biggest problem with selling stuff on Ebay is that it forces me to look at comps on Ebay...which makes me want to buy stuff

Just to be clear, that's not saying much

Had a gripe about the movie that bugged me. Started typing it out...then realized I didn't want to be "that guy" over a movie that was so light weight

Being somewhat new in academia, I kinda forgot how much students can talk endlessly. I'm pretty sure I was never like that and was super mature right off the bat...

I am beyond excited to be able to go out dinner by myself. Can't remember the last time I did this.

A year ago: for some reason everyone is watching Criterion posting on Bluesky, "Hey, Sorcerer is a pretty badass film!"

A year later, on Steam:

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Chicago lost one of its best today. RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. I met Tony through Steve Earle, whose LP covers frequently became canvasses for Fitzpatrick's artwork. Jon Langford & Tony collaborated on a tribute to another one-of-a-kind Chicagoan, Lin Brehmer, at the Hideout in 2023 (pic below). (1/2)

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

A vibrant collage by Tony Fitzpatrick features a peregrine falcon with architectural elements and bold text related to Chicago.

I think I enjoyed it more than the second one

Joshua Tsui 🍥 @joshuatsui.bsky.social · 9d

Ok, so I enjoyed Tron Ares for what it is. Imax 3D helps. Nobody embarrassed themselves. One part made the nerd in me super happy. One 3D shot jolted me.

I consider these all wins
