Whenever Pitt’s acting comes up I remember an interview with Terry Gilliam about the trouble they had getting a decent performance out of him on Twelve Monkeys until they took his cigarettes away from him.

Don’t know what you’re talking about, Terry Gilliam fell down a sinkhole during the making of Tideland and was never heard of again.

Yeah, we’ve had rumblings for a while. Our library had been waiting on orders for months, then the past two weeks they’ve suddenly been getting delivered.

When that aired in the Netherlands in the late nineties I thought it was a hideous commercialisation of the Moomins, a series I was mostly familiar with from ice cream bars I had had on a family vacation to Finland in ‘93.

Well I suppose, if you twist my arm, I’d do some vis dev-stuff for that.

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

If we have to have new Moomin stories, and if they have to be made by an American, then yeah, fine.

Nothing embodies New Hampshire’s Live free or die like an old guy wearing a plaid shirt whipping past you on his motorbike 10 miles over the speedlimit with not a helmet in sight.

She’s been poisoning him so she can go on another eastern european rumspringa while an unlicensed doctor puts him in a coma and replaces all his lymphatic fluids with fish oil.

He’d always have time for you and Gretchen.

Oscar Wilde would like to have a word with you about that.

Also the only acceptable use for leafblowers

Nets don’t stop liquids though

I’m the mortician in Richard Scarry’s Busytown. I’m a dog who wears a baseball hat that says “who let ME out”. I drive a dried up footlong meatball sub that’s also a hearse every day.

Oh yeah! It’s great. Had a rabbit potpie there that was so good it made me not even care about the awkwardness of going out to dinner with a couple that was about to separate

Again and again, this is the whole reason for AI's existence - the executives, the parasite class that believes that reading emails, liquid lunches, and sexual harassment count as work, hate the fact that money has to go to someone else that actually does all the labour

Brother Day unfortunately did very much not abide

Spotted a @scumbelievable.bsky.social on main street Chatham during Oktoberfest.

How much are you thinking about just not going back to the US?

Boudin noir?!

Seems tailormade for @celineloup.bsky.social

I’ll trade you some for the utterly ancient Elvis plates put out by whoever is clearing out a house on our street

A mammoth figurine carved from ivory, its surface weathered with age. The shape captures the essence of the animal, with a prominent trunk and sloping back. The figure is displayed on a metal stand against a dark background.

I just have to post this #iceage masterpiece from time to time: A tiny (3.7 cm) but amazing figurine of a woolly mammoth carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago.

Found in the Vogelherd cave on the Swabian Jura, south-west Germany.

In 2008 I went on a tour of the clocktower on the piazza San Marco in Venice because a few months before I had stumbled on a blog about cabinets of curiosities and other early modern oddities. The kind of thing you don’t find out about without someone dedicated to cataloging their niche interests!

Sterlin Harjo is so good at depicting these somewhat run down environments and the passionate weirdos who populate them.

Oh! Maybe a little out of the way from Stanfordville, but you’d probably like Zinnia’s Dinette

That leprechaun wants to be in the pot

Innisfree garden is close, but more of a nice walk. There’s good hiking in the ny/ma/ct corner, mt Alander, mt Washington, Bear mt.
Definitely hit up Chaseholm farm in Pine Plains.

Pretty pretty good
