my hottake is the weird-o "if it's not on the internet right now it's lost media" losers are absolutely correct, actually, I *should* be able to look at any work of art I want from around the world, even if I have to pay, via the power of the internet, and it's weird that hasn't happened

There should be a tribute to David Lynch, where they just show 60 seconds of a static shot of a steam filled underground corridor, with a flickering fluorescent light backed with ominous washing and a distant scream

The Hoot Hoot ice cream parlour, East Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, Los Angeles, c.1928. Not only did the head rotate, at least partially, but the eyes could light up too. It’s been gone since the 50s, which seems to me a tragedy of sorts.
