The MCU deserves a LOT of the shit-talk it gets for its management-minded assembly-line process, and the horrid crunch put on VFX teams, but some amazing shots have been made by really talented people trying their best and I just wanna shout out just a tiny sample of some of my faves.

There are still elections wherein two worthy candidates are on the ballot. I admit, this is a tough choice, but for #FatBearWeek 2025, I am endorsing 32 Chunk. An elderly but still very chunky boi who I believe deserves your support.

Wow, @mgiacchino.bsky.social really understood the assignment. The score for #FantasticFour First Steps is so, so, SO good. The movie is already a delight but the score adds so much, I adored it in the movie and am adoring it again on the album.

Just reading The Biggest Ideas in the Universe 2: Quanta and Fields by the fantastic writer @seanmcarroll.bsky.social and I assume this is a wee formatting error in what should be "1/1800th".
Great book btw, as is vol 1. Carroll is fab at explaining concepts I just barely understood in undergrad.

Amidst the horrors of being a geoscientist nowadays is one nice thing: At #EGU25, artist-in-residence @geologytalk.bsky.social gave out crocheted triceratops!
Now to name mine. I'm open to any suggestions but have 3 ideas of my own which I'll justify in a thread:
- Mersenne

Sinners might be my favourite vampire film in addition to just being a great movie overall. A breath of fresh air after my immense disappointment with the latest Nosferatu.
