Who wants some random Siberia facts? ☃️ I was born and raised there (left in 2003, never returned), and I've always found it funny how many misconceptions folks have about it. This will be a bit of an ongoing thread...

Feral Artist Nomad update. I have reached the final stop on my film festival circuit: Ridgway, Colorado.

Behold the view from the hotel's bar! 😍 (The view from my room is just as picturesque.)

White clouds over a huge mountain range capped with snow. In mid-distance, a pickup truck with a trailer drives behind wooden fences.

Sooo, if I understand it correctly, Altman is going to try and save his company by openly pivoting to ChatGPT porn for $$$ subscribers.

And if they ally with Tesla and its useless humanoid robots... 👀

...we're about to enter a very very strange era. The dumbest version of cyberpunk. 🤡

Downside: found no pie. 🫤

Upside: compromised on a large chocolate-chip cookie at a local co-op-style diner, flirted with a cute barista. 😌

Back when Bitcoin was just starting out as a CIA op. 🥸

Ahh, but it's no downtown, then, eh? 🙃

Grigory Lukin ✨️is on sub✨️ @grigorylukin.bsky.social · 19h

My heart aches for the absence of dinosaur pie. 💔

Grigory Lukin ✨️is on sub✨️ @grigorylukin.bsky.social · 19h

Not pie indeed. 😉 Also, just on foot downtown, awaiting my bus - won't get that far haha

It's a start, though it should have a couple of tables/booths to fulfill the small-town prophecy. 😌

Open a pie place of your own! Just pie and black coffee, and to hell with the haters. You'll make sooo much $$$. 😎

Meh, I can have an Applebees anywhere. 🙃 I wanted that quintessential Americana experience, ya know? Small town, coffee, slice o' pie... 🫠

Odd town. Got some street art, which is nice, but their construction crew encouraged me to step off the road... Ditch. Mud. Quick change. 🫤 But now the locals give me the side-eye because of my muddy shoes. 👀 And presumably because of my backpacks, as I await my bus. Elitism, yo.

I've found a glitch in the matrix. Not a single establishment in downtown Grand Junction, CO serves pie. When asked, the locals get agitated and confused upon realizing their small town does not possess that most quintessential small-town staple.

My investigation shall continue.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

The opposite of "Incel" is "Excel." Stay excellent, my friends. 😌

Ever since the 2000 "Bush v Gore" decision where they expliciy said to not treat it as precedent. 🤡

Feral Artist Nomad odyssey, part 3: the Pennsylvania crunch

Such a small world. The bus that took me from New York to West Reading, PA had two other filmmakers: Vanessa and Kathleen, the co-creators of the wonderful “Five Flights.” We chatted a …

I rather like the way this shot turned out. 😌 (Sunrise at the Orlando airport.)

A crowded airport food court. Blindingly bright morning sun sends a vertical ray, reducing the people to mere shadows.

Lately, I'm getting more new experiences in a single day than I used to in an entire season during my workaholic era. 😮 It's mighty wild, living out of a backpack - today is the first time I've paid for lodging in 9 days. 🤣 I dig it, though.

History repeats itself. Those who seek immortality - or the vainest kind of glory - end up poisoning themselves with lead and other toxic nonsense. 🤡

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.
