Surfers making the most of small waves off the beach. Yellow light reflects off the ocean.

Sunday morning surfers.

Personally, in these unsettling times, I think we need art more than ever. Keep putting some beauty back into the world!

Lots of mentions of Tremors here tonight. I guess it must be showing somewhere. Just a perfectly written and acted creature feature.

FYI, shot entirely on gopro. Decided to travel light and see what I could do with it. A fun little experiment. I feel like the dog that can do math. It’s not that he does it well. It’s that he does it at all.

A giant sphere of flesh in Central Park towering over the city like a big gross meatball. This was made by redditor kiwi2703 to show what it would look like if you combined every human on Earth into a ball, and it’s clearly a bad idea

Bud Cort, Who Starred in 1971’s ‘Harold and Maude,’ Dies at 77

Many of the obituaries for the late an wildly talented Bud Cort mention his breakout role in Harold and Maude, and thst film’s director, the legendary Hal Ashby. But they forget to cite Colin Higgins. Who wrote it. Without whom: no Harold, no Maude.

There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here.

Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able.

We need endurance in this moment.

I thought so by the way they kissed. It looked real.

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."
