For Toronto Raptors fans, weird people and probably Georgians: I wrote about my favourite NBA player, Sandro Mamukelashvili. www.basketballfeelings.com/p/my-mamukel...

My Mamukelashvili
The double-edged sword of "different", vocal stimming, and the Georgian big man Sandro Mamukelashvili.

Tomorrow's matchup was inevitable. It has always been thus and it was always going to be thus: hammering chests and slow drowning. This is the Dream of Ben and Celine.

Street Fighter-style NBA All-Star weekend where it's just one-on-one battles filmed live by auteurs. Brunson v Ant by a Safdie. Robert Eggers does Chet-Wemby. Luka on Giannis gets Emerald Fennell. SGA v Maxey, presented by Ryan Coogler. Spike Lee would 100% do one.

Videodrome (1983) more prescient than ever
"I think that massive doses of Videodrome signal
which will produce and control hallucination
will ultimately create a new outgrowth to the point that it will change human reality." said by Brian O'Blivion in the movie videodrome

Remembering when truckers descended on Ottawa to protest Covid vaccines and these two guys set up a hot tub
Two douchebags in a hot tub they set up on a street in downtown Ottawa because they thought the prime minister was a gaylord.

Vincenzo Natali's CUBE (1997) has proven to be one of the most prescient films of our time. The line "You have to use it, or you admit it's pointless," applies to almost all of the tech foisted on us since 2000. It's perfect for generative AI. It works just as well for ICE. We live in a giant cube.

"He is the most interesting cephalopod in the world." 🐙📷 David Maass (www.flickr.com/photos/maass...)
A Larger Pacific striped octopus standing in a tank with two arms with its suckers visible. It is leaning on a plastic tube with two of its arms, and its striped mantle is drooping down, facing the camera. One arm is reaching back behind the mantle and is curled, making it look like the octopus is deep in thought or they are confidently leaning on their arm.

A re-post of a favourite pic from a few winters ago. Conception Bay North, #Newfoundland, Canada. Icicles hanging in front of a tiny seaside cliff cave…while on a #hike. #trail
Photo taken from a tiny cave in seaside cliffs looking out across a cobblestone beach toward the Atlantic Ocean. The view is seen through a number of large icicles hanging down in front of me. The sun is glistening on the surface of the ocean. The sky is clear blue and the sun is visible.

Still blows my mind that Dexter Holland made one of the most successful independent albums of all time, spun a couple novelty hits into a 30-year career as a punk musician, AND did a PhD in molecular biology on research that likely contributed to the treatment for HIV. What a dude.

3 panel comic. Panel one: coworkers stand around a desk, as another employee, a Humboldt squid carrying a big stack of binders, walks past them. One says to the squid, “hey Eric, need an extra hand with that?” Panel 2: the two human employees are laughing and a man steps into frame, breaking the fourth wall. He says “stop.” Panel 3: the man, still talking to the camera, says “squid discrimination in the workplace. Know the signs.”
