Poster for The Sting (1973) vs The Studio (2025) Central image is totally different, but everything around that is taken from The Sting poster. In my opinion, it copies too much from one place.

One of the most inspiring innovations of the last 20 years is **Markdown**. John Gruber @gruber.foo created it so he could easily write HTML formatting. Couple decades later, you can use Markdown with Reddit, Github, Notion, Obsidian, ChatGPT, Claude and loads more.

"Everything looks the same, sounds the same, is the same.” We are plagued by a dearth of creativity. But what if, beneath the surface of mainstream culture, there was a world of wild imagination waiting to be discovered — if only a powerful force would stop suppressing it? youtu.be/aToMV4wL2wc?...

Creativity can't die. But metrics, fear of risk and poor discovery prevent the novel from seeing the light. This isn’t an issue of creativity, but an issue of permitting talent to graduate beyond the niche and accepting news mediums of creativity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aToM...

Whatever the medium you're working in, there are genre rules. You don't have to obey these rules, but you better know 'em.

I watched the first version of Everything is a Remix as a 30 year old who was a year a way from launching acreative studio, More Starch, I can't emphasize enough how much Kirby's work taught me about how to create, it's a lesson I've carried with me everyday of the past 14 years. We are all a remix.
