Gisondo crushed it and Pattinson really leaned into whatever that was, but I could not get past the visual aesthetic switching/overall art direction of the whole thing. If they kept the non-VHS look throughout I feel like it would've hit so much stronger...

If you get a good community server it’s great, otherwise the player base is already full of asshats. It’s scratching a very specific shooter itch for me right now though…

My only contribution to the dumb iced coffee discourse is: what jobs are y'all interviewing for that have in-person interviews?? I have not interviewed in person since 2020.

Yeah almost certainly, anything saved from adobe these days has a "AI-enhanced" tag in the saved EXIF/C2PA data. I _think_ disabling/unchecking "content credentials" in Lightroom should fix it but I haven't touched LR in a long while.

I am a fan but I don’t classify them as a “New York City” band, they’re like a Saratoga band maybe

The music has an acoustic guitar: country The music has an electric guitar: rock The music has no discernible guitars: hyperpop The music has no live guitars: hip hop

The two photos in my head every September 11th: "Lover's Lane, New Jersey" - Thomas Hoepker, 1983 “Wheatfield – A Confrontation: Battery Park Landfill, Downtown Manhattan – Blue Sky With World Trade Center” - Agnes Denes, 1982

I remain uncertain if this movie "needed" to be made or not, but from the teaser trailer alone it looks like Garfield 100% nailed Altman's weird little physical mannerisms youtu.be/rDZplZFnbOk

"In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library" donate.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton passed away peacefully on Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee, according to a statement from her representative.

"A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

"At Dolly's request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family."

"In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library."

If you're not tired of brand-produced series interviewing "creatives" showing their "archive" "inspiration" or "reference material", you will be soon.

I once had a rep from Muck Rack, the industry standard in earned media and PR, tell me with a straight face that a piece of content received "over 8 billion views" and when I asked to confirm "are you telling me that basically the entire population of Earth saw this?" they said yes.

What I think people closer to the marketing industry could see very early that is now becoming painfully clear to everyone is that OpenAI and Anthropic are less tech companies than they are PR/comms/lobbying companies that happen to own a tech product. This is classic spin covering a bad product:

lol it was a half joke, hence the "conspiracy brain" of it all! feels like every "trend" story falls back to GLP-1s rn

Mitch Goldstein @mgoldstein.nyc · 28/07/2026

If we want to go real conspiracy brain on the topic: the rise of mass market GLP-1s allowing for younger consumers to eat "rich" (buttery) foods creating a visual brand out of the foodstuffs previous generations were told to stay away from for their health/wellness/body image...

To your earlier point, Kerrygold is owned by the Irish agriculture trade group. Part of me thinks its a convergence of Cottagecore aesthetics and "elevated essentials" recession-indicator-core personal shopping trends though.

Two sides of the same coin. The semantics of the question lack specificity, its a physics textbook problem at the end of the day. Disc versus bullet. A bullet has lower drag and higher ballistic potential.

Sure but structural integrity/non-rigidity of naan gives more chances for it to catch like a sail the other direction compared to a baguette

My groupchat is landing on "a naan can be thrown with more velocity but a baguette has the potential to travel further in perfect conditions"

Why do so many people turn their phone over (face down) when using it to tap-to-pay? Is this just a bizarre side effect of skeuomorphism where people think the card is physically in the screen? Was there some bad tech demo that people got thrown off by?

If Dimes Square was shorthand for the downtown post-ironic horseshoe'd to right wing Substack glitterati, I think we should start using Hudson Square as shorthand for the new wave AI accelerationist Palantir chore coat wearing bag chasers

Looks like Sharma's tweet (and guessing the newspage post) were timed for 9:30 AM ET which is also market open, so guessing email went out internally shortly before.
