A bad time.
Four frames of a comic in a cartoonish style about a woman trying to cope with a bad time. First frame: the woman is in bed, staring at nothing. She's surrounded by darkness and a white spiral. Frame two: the woman is walking with an empty expression in the street. Frame three: she enters a grocery store by slamming the door. Frame four: a close up of her face as she loudly asks for cheese.

Pickpocket (1959), directed by Robert Bresson. One of the most elegant scenes ever made, and so simple too.

Watched The Running Man today. When Lee Pace removes his mask at the end and Glen Powell whistles I genuinely thought the twist was that the scary hunter turned out to be a beautiful man. It took me five minutes to understand Powell was mocking his facial scars.

A recurring dream I had as a child:

The text reads: "And as I took a bath there, I would wonder whose bathroom this was. Sometimes I thought maybe, they dreamt about mine."

The craziest thing I have to deal with now re: AI is what I call App Men. Every now and then, someone will come to the library and tell me they want to make an app "with AI", like "I want to make an app to identify plants, with AI". And every time, they don't know anything about plants or AI.
