RIP Adam Greenberg
He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:

Baseball produces the best posts, and of all sports our best posters do the most great work with baseball

Maybe this game is portending our passage into another reality like Game 7 of the 2016 World Series did

Gawking freaks

is there a more beautiful sentence than "tied in the bottom of the ninth"

ITS THE WORLD SERIES BAYBEEEEEEEEE

in early 2016 facebook came to the conclusion that everyone with a facebook account at the time was connected to everyone else on facebook by an average of about 3.5 hops research.facebook.com/blog/2016/2/...

This is a great game 7. Baseball is good. It's fun to watch

Has this World Series consistently featured the highest quality of baseball? No. Has it featured the widest array possible of beautiful, weird, specific baseball delights? Yes.

Check it out. Hang with us this afternoon. The stream is borked but we’re gonna fix it

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

I haven’t watched yet but does this argument cover the utterly common experience of getting ads for the thing you just bought, or is that just part of the legitimate design

I'm saying all this as a thirtysomething who is brand spanking new to buying books as they come out. Contemporary superhero comics are not my forte at all, so this could just be an expectation thing. Having fun so far to be honest but I'm in absorb mode; I've gotta start getting choosy.

DC K.O. #1 also has this mashup feel; I guess that for big crossover events where you don't have the time and space to really find a faithful/unique render on every character you kind of have to create impressions. The Age of Revelation stuff doesn't suffer from this so far I'll say

Ok I've spent some time with Marvel comics recently (specifically One World Under Doom) and I have questions about the contemporary house style, and perhaps this doesn't apply all the time, but: what's up with the trace-y, digital, collage look? it's kind of nauseating, feels like shortcuts

I'm the guy buying all the weed candy to give to kids on Halloween. and I'm putting razor blades in it

This is a prepper thread I would gladly read actually

This is very honest stuff

still can't get over what we learned today that the actual story is elon musk just copied enough of wikipedia word-for-word for grokipedia to be useful but rewrote all articles related to him to be more favorable, leaving out facts he doesn't want people to see or talk about

Unfortunately I don’t believe in using the word “zoomies,” but yes. Your dog is popping off.

Gin absolutely

YouTube video by Gnostic Wisdom Network [Talk Gnosis] Matt Christman: Love & Solidarity in the Black Iron Prison

Been relistening to this as I think about "what comes next." Matt's points about solidarity being the social expression of love and the expression of love as a necessary revolutionary action knocked me on my butt at the time. They feel even more important now.

Time stamped for that section.
