The only aesthetically pure way to watch the original STAR WARS trilogy is these moldy grindhouse prints that were found and digitized a few years ago

You can see the OT the way it was originally seen: with the original ILM effects, in a dreamlike gauze

one interesting thing is how so many pundits seem to remember trump as winning crushing victories in 2016 and 2024

Larry Glickman @larryglickman.bsky.social · 6h

This is a myth. By most measures—trade being an important exception—in 2016 Trump ran as a bog-standard conservative Republican on economics: tax cuts for the rich, taking away health care from millions, deregulation, conservative anti-worker judges, opposition to minimum wage increases, etc.

By 2016, the Democratic Party had become sufficiently disconnected from its blue-collar foundations to create an opening for Donald Trump to swoop in and steal the party’s 100-year-old playbook.

A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

The thing that gets me about Musk is that he’s so transparently unoriginal.

Optimus is recycled Honda Asimov, the “it’s so dangerous I gotta control it” is repurposed OpenAI narrative, the Cybertruck is from Halo… it’s all novelty meme garbage.

I didn't realize how long he'd been doing this. As an artist, I get it. I have itch to "fix" older work constantly (books are never done, just published). But something Bob Ross said about painting resonated: a piece of art is a snapshot in time. Who we were, where we were. My work is a time capsule

Wonderful story and photos

The Continent @thecontinent.org · 7h

In 2002, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine's car broke down in the Ugandan town of Mbirizi. While waiting for repairs, he wandered off with his camera and stumbled on a small photo studio run by Ssalongo Kibaate Aloysius. That chance meeting sparked a 22-year journey to share Kibaate’s art with the world.

Photos from a different time still need their space in today’s world. A commitment to archiving allows us to experience the stories behind them.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

Alabama has just executed Anthony Boyd tonight.

Lauren Gill explained so much that went wrong in his case and trial. Important to not look away.

Lauren Gill @laurengill.bsky.social · 7d

Alabama plans to execute Anthony Boyd next week with nitrogen gas for a 1993 murder.

No physical evidence linked Boyd to the crime.

He was convicted solely on the testimony of a co-defendant who avoided the death penalty by testifying against him.
