Attended the memorial for my mother in law yesterday, today is my mom’s anniversary of her passing.

My dad passed 16 years ago on the fourteenth. Rough week for me.

It really is false scarcity they are creating - like the diamond industry, there is abundance but they artificially make it scarcity

😭😭 genuinely a bucket list for me to meet this man because i need to be able to tell him how tlj changed my life

He said TLJ was created in a “fearless bubble” of “pure love for Star Wars”

He still regularly gets people coming up to him and gushing about how much TLJ means to them and how it made them feel like a kid watching SW again. (This was super nice to hear!)

The supporting cast of OSCAR (1991) was such a deep bench of talent.

Don Ameche as Father Clemente in OSCAR (1991)

Tim Curry as Dr. Thornton Poole in OSCAR (1991)

Marisa Tomei as Lisa Provolone in OSCAR (1991)

Ami Thompson made this original gouache painting for the @gallerynucleus.bsky.social KPDH exhibition on Oct 18. The show will include new tribute art by artists who worked on the film! #kpopdemonhunters #rujinu

Painting of Rumi and Jinu from the KPop Demon Hunters film sitting side by side, Rumi drinking a strawberry flavoured drink and Jinu with a crepe in one hand and the other around Rumi’s shoulder. They both have their iridescent demon patterns exposed. On the top left is “K-POP DEMON HUNTERS”

This little text game I made last year is sort of my love letter to The Outer Worlds, Forbidden Planet, Mass Effect, Philip K. Dick, First Man, and so on. But also an exploration of grief:

Watching so many people in high places go through the motions of polling and median-voter whispering can make you feel like you're in Bodysnatchers. It's worth a reminder that the typical experience of tyranny is...basically normal life. Which means we have to will ourselves to fight harder.

The Median Experience Of Tyranny

If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like "never again."

The grand unified “Everyone is Twelve” theory is a legit contribution to contemporary thought and critique. We really are ruled by evil adult children!

this fits with a key feeling of contemporary conservative thought being mad at luke skywalker making a mistake; "star wars" being "you're twelve years old and entering the big world" and so they can't accept the continuation of that line of thought.
