I feel you, bro
A feral spirit—possibly just a man in a white bodysuit, but more likely the ghost of some poor tortured soul—crouches over a table draped in red and strewn with sound mixers, with hand raised to heaven, screaming in existential agony into his microphone.

I can't stop thinking about this movie! There were multiple times the film made me feel something akin to being startled from a dream, and the accompanying confusion as my brain tried to put my reality back together. I'm not sure if or when I've ever experienced this in a film before.

To celebrate its Emmys sweep tonight I just started rewatching Widow’s Bay. I’m 10 minutes into the 1st episode and OMG this show is so good.

Other players have done the same thing this tournament and shattered the other player‘s leg. There’s a reason this red card is non-negotiable, if there was any mistake it was Messi not getting a red card.

The comparisons in this article really show how half-baked the initial iteration of Apple’s Liquid Glass was. Compared to Golden Gate, MacOS Tahoe’s icons look like they’re low resolution but it’s really just poorly executed reflections!
Side by side comparisons of the Journal app icon, MacOS Tahoe on the left and MacOS Golden Gate on the right. Golden Gate has much thinner and sharper reflections, and the colors are more vibrant. The transparent glass effects are also more glassy and less diffuse.

Another Chickadee video! Unlike the finches which sit in one place and gorge themselves like a hungry college student at a free meal, chickadees prefer take-out. Dine and dash! I'll often see pairs feeding each other up in the trees too, so cute 😍 #birds #birding #birdsky #chickadee #nature #pnw

Chickadees are one of my favourite birds. They're endlessly curious, brave for their size, full of energy, almost always have one or more friends with them, and they love using the bird bath! #birds #birding #birdsky #chickadee #nature #pnw

It’s so much fun watching birds use the bird bath! Here’s a white-crowned sparrow, there’s a few of them that visit the yard regularly and eat the seed off the ground. It’s a good thing too, because the finches are messy eaters! #birds #birding #birdsky #sparrow #nature #pnw

The only answer is for Tim Schaefer to open a new studio (again) and rehire all the Double Fine folks (again). As long as they keep increasing the number of heads on the logo, they can completely avoid trademark infringement. /s
The Double Fine logo, modified to have five heads instead of two. Inside of a yellow oval, a smiling two-headed cartoon creature now has five heads, and a waving "Double Fine" banner across the bottom has been crudely modified to say "Quintuple Fine."

@carmenfflv.bsky.social I'm curious have you ever drawn anything Avatar related? I feel like Neytiri and the planet Pandora would look really cool in your art style!
Neytiri rides her ikran in flight low over turquoise coastal water with a fog shrouded forest in the background. She holds a bow raised overhead, her body leaning into the motion. Trees and other distant Na'vi riders are visible in the background nearby her.In a glowing purple grove of bioluminescent hanging willow-like strands (the Tree of Souls), a Neytiri rests a hand on the head of a kneeling Jake who grasps one of the luminous tendrils. The scene is bathed in deep purple and violet light.Neytiri rides a banshee (ikran) in a steep diving descent, gripping the green-and-teal patterned creature as it plunges. The motion-blurred grey background conveys high speed. As she dives her bow is drawn and aimed at an unseen target.Neytiri, a blue-skinned Na'vi woman with green eyes and braided hair, draws back a bow and arrow in a dense, dark jungle. Ferns and foliage fill the background. Her expression is focused and intense as she takes aim.

Since we're now nonsensically comparing the length of things to skyscraper heights
An edited screenshot from Fox News, originally showing Trump at his desk in the Oval Office, holding up a poster board ridiculously comparing the length of the Lincoln Reflecting Pool to the height of some mostly older American skyscrapers like the Sears Tower. The title of the poster previously read: "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers."

In this edited version, Trump's poster board is enlarged and the title now says: "Our Park is Bigger than Skyscrapers." New York Central Park has been added to the comparison, completely dwarfing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. At two thousand thirty feet the Lincoln Pool is puny compared to Central Park at thirteen thousand six hundred feet. The poster board has been comically enlarged to just barely fit central park, being partly covered by the chyron.

The chyron now reads "N Y C: Our park is bigger than your pool." To the left of Trump and leaning into the frame with a gravity-defying slant, Mayor Zohran Mamdani sneaks a look at the poster over Trump's shoulder. He has a slight but satisfied grin on his face.

This post prompted me to look at the project website, I didn't realize (or I forgot) that this is only the beginning of the project! There's still 7 more towers to go!!
A screenshot from the 
Senakw website showing a conceptual rendering of the Senakw development, viewed from above with the Burrard Street Bridge in the foreground and the mountains in the background. You can see the 3 currently completed towers, as well as 7 more towers lining the Burrard Street corridor which will be completed in the future. Text is superimposed over the image, reading as follows: "A place that remembers. A village that welcomes. On the ancestral lands of the Squamish Nation, at the foot of the Burrard Street Bridge, a village welcomes you home. Senákw has always been here—in the land, the stories, the people. What's new is the chance for us to share it. These homes are built with care, shaped by generations, and grounded in place. This isn't just where you rent. It's where you belong."

This is what I typically think of as a plant "cage," I'm guessing you use something more robust or with smaller gaps?

Are we just creating an alternate history now? 🤷🏻‍♂️ ➀ The reason you've never seen these two shots side by side like this is because whoever made this image purposely desaturated the Rise of Skywalker scene. ② The final shot of the film is Rey and BB8 looking out on the binary sunset, mirroring Luke.
Comparison of the original shot from the Blu-ray versus the desaturated version from the original post. The original shot is much warmer, and the desaturated shot has all the warm tones taken out of it to make it appear grey.A grid of ten screenshots from the final sequence of Rise of Skywalker. The sun is setting on the horizon and as the sequence proceeds the colours get warmer and more and more saturated.A screenshot of the final shot from The Rise of Skywalker showing Ray and BB8 standing in front of the binary star sunset.

Haha, the real story being a communication error is so much more funny!
Armin Shimerman: You'll notice Rom has a veil behind his head, and Quark doesn't, and that, too, was part of the makeup designs. That was distinctly designed by [makeup supervisor] Michael Westmore.

Garrett Wang: The veil is because they didn't want to finish the back of that person's [makeup].

Armin Shimerman: It's not that they didn't want to, because I was there when it happened. The costume design department and the makeup department hadn't conferred about how far the makeup came down and how high the costume came up. And so on TNG, when I was made up as a Ferengi, when all the process was done, we realized there was a 3-inch gap of the back of my neck showing, and Michael went out and got a piece of material which he stapled to the rubber prosthesis.
