Day 3 - Cocteau Twins - Aikea-Guinea

“In you I fall apart, and outwardly am a single fragment, a puzzle to itself. But we must learn to live in others, no matter how abortive or unfriendly their cold, piecemeal renderings of us: they create us.”

— John Ashbery

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

A London Underground advertisement for testosterone for men

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

Ring doorbells have always made me incredibly uneasy to be around. This is only going to make that worse. Please don't use these. We have enough (too many, in fact) networked cameras in the world.

Two movies with a lot in common structurally… the series finale vs the reworked tv pilot both about the trappings of the Hollywood dream + suicidal ideation as an escape from failure or the wrong kind of success

I made one of these for a middle school project because of course I did lol

genuinely it should not be legal for streaming apps to automatically skip the credits at the end of one movie, and immediately start another movie.

if the unions were still strong this wouldnt happen.

This place has grown on me so much. I always thought BlueSky struck a nice balance between nerd shit/privacy features/decentralization (which I *love*) and usability, but there's actually enough people and discoverability on here now to make it fun to use rather than just "interesting."

credit where it's due, this is one of the funniest ideas i've ever heard

I'm sorry, but "QR codes for ICE" is just such a resplendently stupid idea that it brings a tear to my eyes. This is an "Eric Adams wants to stop antisemitism with cryptocurrency" tier useless intersection of tech and reform.

Chud toddler: Ewww broccoli yucky 🤢🤢 Me: LMAO filtered by kino. Food doesn't have to be fun btw. Look up "theatre of cruelty".

been thinking about this post all fuckin day

A look at some of the most beautiful and unusual examples from the first 100 years of the "modern" book cover, since the rise of publishers' bindings circa 1820: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/the-art-of-book-covers-1820-1914

Dead Mountaineer's Hotel is such a cool film! Any Strugatsky brothers adaptation is worth a watch. Love to see it getting a 4k restoration.

The Golden Globes having live on-screen gambling odds from the same site where you can bet on what war crime we're gonna do next is WILD

"hes probably not dead" yeah no shit! shut the fuck up! im gonna spray you with a fucking water bottle!

"Weekend at Bernie's" takes place during the Labor Day weekend.

this whole thing has the spiritual echo of Balloon Boy— no one really knows what the fuck is going on, we’re getting off all kinds of zingers, it might all be nonsense

im always saying that a happy accident of humankind was the sensitivity and intimacy of bare skin touch being a profound aspect of communication, whether to negotiate affirming or denying it depending on people and circumstances and personal comfort

I swear, never watching short-form video and never talking to ChatGPT makes me feel like I'm on the Limitless pill in 2025

News: The most recent GOP reconciliation bill no longer has the provision to ban Medicaid from being used on gender-affirming care

The parliamentarian had disqualified the provision, but Republicans had left it on the text — it now has been removed

Moth/insect flight paths over time.

I'm surprised there's so much activity (here, over 10 minutes) with only a 13% or so moon. They don't seem attracted to the camera IR which is good. I'm still modifying this camera but overall, very happy with the results.

Visualization of birdsong from Bird Lore June 1920

So so so obsessed with this visualization of birdsong (from Bird Lore, June 1920) posted by @birdhistory.bsky.social over on the other site

Oh my god... Are good things allowed to happen again!?

Being the son of the governor simply does not measure up to being the son of a 1993 independent spirit award nominee

I would like to thank the Sun God for using his blessed heat to rebuke elderly and evil Cuomo voters.

Wowowowow The Pavilion of Dreams is gorgeeeeee. I need to listen to more Harold Budd
