Have you seen the new trailer for SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE? The Dylan movie was about Bob plugging in his guitar, and now the Springsteen movie is about Bruce unplugging his guitar. Are these rock biopics or are they films for electricians?

Long live Sesame Street! 🥹

Had so much fun at the Sesame Workshop gala! Thank you, with all of my heart, for your commitment to coming together to help children grow smarter, stronger, kinder ✨

Just because something doesn’t affect you personally, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about it. We, as humans should desire to see others free from suffering

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t.

Do you write? Then you’re a writer. I don’t care if you’re trad published, self published, or not at all published. If you write - you’re a writer. There’s no officiant or badge to collect. You write - you’re a writer. So stop waiting for someone to declare you one. I just did. There you go.

I'm not going to ask you whether you've purchased a bunker yet.

Let's talk about art to distract ourselves from the news. What’s something good you've watched or read recently?
Ars longa vita brevis...

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

…the outer edge of the other, which is all we can ever touch — and still it is enough, this sliver of salvation from the loneliness of being ourselves. - THE MARGINALIAN

I have started getting spam emails offering free Nutella. I must admit this seems rather more appealing than the offers of erectile dysfunction drugs and the money transfer scams

A four-panel comic called Instinct is Weird. In panel 1, a yellow warbler looks at a beautiful nest in a shrub and says "I made this for some reason". In panel 2, there are five eggs in the nest and she says "these are my smooth round children". In panel 3 an egg has hatched into a yelling hatchling, and she says "Oh no now it's loud". In panel 4 she looks distressed as five hatchlings now fill the nest, begging for food, and she says "help".

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.

Interesting:

Meta created React Native. It’s used (with components at least) in their flagship apps: Facebook (iOS, Android), Instagram (Meta Quest), Messenger (desktop).

Google created Flutter. And yet none of their flagship apps use it (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar).

I don’t want the plot to thicken

The Los Angeles wildfires are at risk of contaminating the city's water supply, with ash, pathogens, toxic chemicals, flame retardants, and even melted pipes able to enter reservoirs and aqueducts.

Several communities have advised residents not to drink tap water.

My Patrons, who are wonderful, always get a process post about each comic. This time they got to see the three potential pigeon expressions I flipped between until my brain reconstituted itself into a pigeon www.patreon.com/birdandmoon

People are so weird about The Criterion Collection. It's a boutique label. They distribute films they want. Sometimes they get a title, sometimes they don't! Sometimes they're classics, sometimes they're new!

There are countless movies that will never be in it because someone else has the rights!

I think we can change the world by having protected bike lanes and secure bike parking everywhere.

The weather forecast for Washington, DC is predicting brutally cold temperatures — in the low teens — on Inauguration Day.

Good.

Sculpture of a redish and purple geode which is sparkling in the sunshine. The inside is made from rhinestones and it is very sparkly.

The morning sun looks beautiful shining on this geode I just finished making. Made from polymer clay and rhinestones✨️

This billboard says it all.

Back in Nazi Germany, art that was deemed "degenerate" was piled up in the streets and burned. I think people are waiting for stuff like that to start happening. But we don't live in an era of physical media anymore. That art is just going to quietly vanish from streaming services one day.
