It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better

Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

Of course @friends-table.bsky.social fans will be aware that "Fleggebit" itself derived from the Old Perpetuan, meaning literally "a bit of a flegg."

DreamForge Magazine @dreamforgemagazine.bsky.social · 3h

Today's Word: Flibbertigibbet
A silly, scatterbrained person; used to describe someone who talks incessantly without much sense. But in Shakespeare's day, referred to a foul demon or imp possessing a person. From Middle English "fleggebit," a name for a fiend or devil.

this was so good! sweet and heartfelt, i loved those goofy women and the writing of the setting they operate within. also the idea that a cis woman char aznable would have big naturals and be too depressed to wear bras is an enlightened take

Eris is an idealistic Trans-Neptunian Object who longs to find a place for herself, and Comet Halley is a Cis-Neptunian Object named for a comet that's famous for always returning to Earth in the end… can these two women find true love, or are they doomed to never truly be able to reach each other?

Think of how much easier everything in our lives would be if we just had universal healthcare.

No signing up by the correct date
No making sure some family member is on it or you have the right form.
No thinking about "if I don't have this job how will I afford my medication"

Just so much easier.

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

been yelling this to the heavens for so long lol

any time i get bummed out about the lack of traction someone jumps in with the "success doesn't define you and you have to make stuff for yourself first" self-esteem stuff

i LOVE my shit and what upsets me is that i can't SHARE that feeling

Milk'n Cookies @milkncookies.bsky.social · 14d

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

It is very good that Discord seemingly built their initial game list from games/apps that show up in their activity feed and somehow pulled the box art for Dolphin for the 2600 when everyone is actually running Dolphin the Emulator. I hope they never change it.

He made basic math errors, insanely underestimating how big planet Earth was, which was pointed out to him. But he chose to ignore it.

Heck he STILL believed he had reached Asia by the time of his death.

DESPITE THE FACT THAT LITERALLY NOBODY was speaking an Asian language where he landed.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.
