went outside just before sunset and took a few photos on the new camera, they all suck but the camera itself is pretty awesome - the autofocus is crazy with how fast it is and how many focus points it has

In 1997, Cheap Trick re-recorded “In Color” with Steve Albini.

Take twenty years of experience touring on very strong material and then get the most interesting engineer in the biz to put it all together? Woof.

Apparently, it was just kind of a lark, and while it was never completed, what survives is a helluva thing.

I think I've already found a good use for Tusks.

And, so, a new experimental feature:

"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻'𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿?"

Christopher Nolan often uses the opening title to whisper something useful about the twisty story you're about to unravel.

Which makes subsequent rewatches so rewarding because you're all "Ooooo…it was all right there from the beginning!"

Related: "The Prestige" (2006) is still very good.

IMO, Leslie Claret's “We bolster 12 Husk Nuts to each girdle jerry while flex tandems press a task apparatus of ten vertically composited patch hamplers, then pin flam-fastened pan traps at both maiden apexes of the jimjoints” should be right up there with “Rosebud.”

There’s a lot of bad things about the internet for non-Americans, but the absolute worst is it already being April 2 when the most humourless people alive start lying about things and calling those lies an April Fool’s joke.

For whatever reason, I've never really bought into the genius/svengali idea of the record producer. That said, I have been on a deep dive of Danger Mouse these past few days and … crikey.

My new favorite Amazon vendor is a place that mostly sells extremely realistic doll heads.

Happy to report that "Mars Audiac Quintet" sounds just as cool and weird and interplanetary as it did thirty years ago

I need an AI art generator that'll let me do stuff involving living people and copyrighted things.

Because developing an array of really good images of Billy Joel as a Sontaran has recently become very important for me.

It's for my work.

Ok, I caved and bought that $32 “instant” digital camera that prints on thermal paper.

It’s a weird and wonderful shitty camera. The printer is pretty good, using error diffusion dithering but a bit slow. It’s apparently a 12MP camera that can also do 1080p video on the included 32GB SD card. Obs targeted at kids with the built in filters but there’s something about the immediateness that’s fun about it. Wonder how hackable it is?
