Out of all of Lynch's work, this scene is the one that most stuck in my craw. Something I return to when I feel myself growing lost in the world. I think this is one of the times he addressed his audience directly. youtu.be/Fd5HEJdcBwM

Anxiety is like hearing combat music, getting the message "you cannot fast travel when enemies are nearby", and seeing nothing threatening.

A bit snarky, but something that has lived rent free in my head as player/dm advice since I first encountered it:

As disappointing as the SC decision is, it feels more like an admittance of the unspoken status quo. What I mean by this is, Bush would have been liable for what happened during WOT, Obama for indiscriminate drone strikes, etc...what really surprised me was the chevron ruling.

I love the way Moebius talked about his own art.

Artwork by Jean 'Moebius' Giraud. See next image's alt text for a description by the man himself.

Moebius: A strange energy seems to emanate from the horizon. It happened quite naturally, almost by accident. When I was drawing this picture, I was trying to achieve a certain kind of feeling, so I just let myself be carried by the flow, and this was the result. I gratefully accepted it, almost like a gift. Things like this don't always happen in art, but when it does, that's what makes it worthwhile. The character is sitting by a monument, waiting for a big vessel to take off. There is the book, which is by Jack Vance. The can is a can of paint. You press a button and all the colors come out. The costume is a blend of western and futuristic. Inside the box is a crystal, and it's a present from a child who lives on this planet. And there is a message in that cube, which says, "don't take all this too seriously!"

Find someone who looks at you the way Lady Sylvia from Lair of the White Worm looks at prehistoric skulls.

A woman gazes at the ancient skull of an unknown creature, her gloved hands feeling it's crests and ridges.

I want un-smart tvs again. I'm so sick of my glorified monitor requiring software updates, logging all my data, being stuffed full of bloatware. If you want hdmi ports and modern resolution, everything is DaaS and it fucking blows.

It's Webcomic Wednesday which means I'm going to shill my comic, Joys, that I make with @j-mnemonic.bsky.social. Joys was launched in June 2023 which means it doesn't have a huge backlog to catch up on! (WOW!) It's got (implied) murder, pizza delivery shenanigans, and, soon, puppy times!

Your daily reminder that it’s OK for first drafts of anything to be rough around the edges, like this original concept sketch for the facehugger in “Alien,” drawn by screenwriter Dan O’Bannon

A black and white illustration in two panels divided by a horizontal line across the middle of the page: the upper panel is an egg with a circular depression near the top, and an arrow indicating that it’s 1 m tall. The lower panel shows an emoji-like creature with an angry face and six pointy limbs yeeting from the hole.

Loteria's Texas Toast is a throwback record to any number of forgotten honky-tonk house bands - a sliding twang guitar atop an early garage rock sound that recalls Stevie Ray Vaughn. They deserve way more than the 70 monthly listeners they have on Spotify. loteriatx.bandcamp.com/album/texas-...
