Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

i guess the idea of genius is appealing because it suggests there's a shortcut to the tedious experience of becoming good at something. and if there's no shortcut the time spent looking for a domain you're naturally gifted at is just more time wasted. ok happy monday everyone let's get this bread

The beauty of sports is you can just decide at any point “I give a shit about this now. Against all reason.” Ten minutes later you hate one of the teams more than life and it’s all downhill from there.

I love when MAGA types publish a list of unambiguously good things as if they're unambiguously bad things. It's such a revelation of what fearful cowardly people they are. We live in times of radical abuses. We should all seek radical remedies. All I can say to this is Hell Yeah.
A scare add about the DSA that reads "DSA's new platform: WORKERS DESERVE MORE. Radical goals. Straight from their platform."

The goals include:

Abolish the senate, expand the house of representatives and implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting

Replace the President and Supreme Court
Defund the Department of War
Abolish the Carceral State
Free Palestine
End Sactions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran
Abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all
Public ownership of major corporations
Abolish the Electoral College
Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy.

Their ultimate goal: A Democratic Socialist Republic. To win the battle for democracy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.

It ends with the warning: This is the DSA's official platform. They wrote it. They approved it. Now you know.

To which I personally can only say Hell Yeah.
