Given the distortions that digital environments have on narrative time perceptions and the subsequent effects on human psychologies, this is quite hilarious.

It's that time of the year again

I love my compliments coming from Alfred E. Neumann. Today is a good day.

Here's the original analysis from @carbonbrief.org www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

It's still not enough to keep us below 2° (don't get me started on 1.5°), but it's crucial that China takes a leading role here showing a path others can follow.

Bonus tracks: Here's the innards of a person made from chocolate, and a chocolate anus. Chocolate is awesome, and climate change sucks.

To be fair, i was taken aback by that framing of a distortion of the current prompt with its own memory as "curiosity", and it is no wonder we can't help anthropomorphizing the text interface to an interpolatable archive when it frames it's own mechanisms as "curiosity".

On the Post-Naive Internet "where we’re finally moving past the failed idealism of John Perry Barlow and the associated California Ideology" kevinmunger.substack.com/p/towards-th...

Includes mentions of Josh Citarella and New Models whose work i'm following since 10 years or so now. Good stuff.

Never forget that they destroyed the White House Cinema for this obscene display of decadence here. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

This reminds me of the famed iPad app where they crushed creative tools. This is the same, but the destruction is real.

For the little known schlockfest Squirm in which some guy gets eaten by worms in a pit, he borrowed some inspiration from Gustav Klimt www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/2... It's one of my favorite Struzan artworks.

Besides the well known artworks for, you know, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Goonies, E.T., Indiana Jones, Back To The Future, Big Trouble in little China and whatnot, he also did the artworks for Carpenters The Thing and the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Cover for Black Sabbath.

To sum this up, here's another favorite of mine, his minimalist and clever artwork for Luc Bessons fantastic La Femme Nikita, a classic of 90s action cinema.

Today we lost a legend.

Goodnite, Renato.

He did the unofficial Bond movie Never Say Never, Misery, Masters of the Universe, Rumble Fish and so many more.
October 11, 2025 at 6:02 AM
He also did Over The Top, and you seriously don't know 80s movies until you turn around your hat www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsFk...
October 11, 2025 at 5:58 AM
He also did a ton of artworks for 80s ninja movies and all of these are great!
October 11, 2025 at 5:56 AM
Artworks for Leviathan, another 80s scifi-horror favorite of mine. I regulary watch this movie in tandem with DeepStar Six, both rather mediocre underwater Alien-ripoffs that nevertheless have some charme to them.
October 11, 2025 at 5:50 AM
Sketches and artworks for Angel Heart, Bat 21, Danger Zone and Cherry 2000.
October 11, 2025 at 5:48 AM
Here's artworks for Escape from New York, Inner Space, Conan the Destroyer and Conan the Barbarian
October 11, 2025 at 5:45 AM
Sketches for Münchhausen, Erik The Viking, Neverending Story I + II.
October 11, 2025 at 5:43 AM
He also did the original artwork for one of my alltime favorites, The Name of the Rose, based on Umberto Ecos book by the same name. Didn't know that. Thank you, Renato!
October 11, 2025 at 5:34 AM
Sketches for Bingo Bongo, Bomber and I'm for the Hippopotamus.

My Name is Nobody (sketch). This is one of my alltime favorite western movie motifs: Terence Hills as lazy bastard not giving a damn.
October 11, 2025 at 5:28 AM
My Name is Nobody is still the funniest western, and Terence Hills not-caring lazy-fun take on the grim stranger (non-ironically embodied by Clint Eastwood) very much encapsulates how i approach everything.

I had a ramen phase 4 years ago or so where i repeatedly tried Buldaks and always every single time not only burned my mouth and face and tongue and everything but also got burning hot hickups for hours after these bastards.
