Haha, jinx! Did mine before spotting yours. But don't worry, I know that you have nothing done anything wrong in your life, ever.

Who’s your favorite reoccurring (that is not part of the regular cast but kept showing up) sitcom character?

He's...

As many people have said, the joy is in the creation itself rather than the final result. Whatever it is you're doing. That slow incremental improvement can initially feel like a slog, sure, but when you figure something out and succeed, it's just pure joy. Especially when you're part of a team.

And obviously completely ignores how creativity thrives in conversation and collaboration, in happy accidents. That some of your best work will be driven by the restrictions placed upon you. Things going wrong forcing you to adapt and think outside the box. Thinking on your feet. Fail. Fail better.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

Didn't go to film school? Don't worry. Legendary investor and movie buff Marc Andreessen doesn't think that will be an issue for future creatives.

During an episode of "Monitoring the Situation," the podcast for the venture capitalist firm that Andreessen cofounded, A16z, he said advancements in AI technology — like OpenAI's Sora 2 — have made it possible for a new type of filmmaker to emerge.

"The filmmaker with no visual skill, or access to a set, or to a camera, or to actors, but with an idea," Andreessen said on Friday. "It's going to start with shorts and animated things and so forth, but it's going to work its way up to full movies."

They were put off by his cameo as Flippy The Fish in Dog Man, much as I was. A rare piece of common ground between us.

I love Al so much. He's so pure.

Got a real soft spot for the Beach Boys's Match Point Of Our Love from MIU ever since The Avalanches used it on a mixtape.

Maybe he figured out he could sext with it now, and got waylaid.

Woah, this is mindblowing!

The top row of the Peanuts Sunday strip was called the 'throw-away panel'. If there wasn't enough space in the comic section that syndicated it, the top row could be removed and the rest of the comic would still make sense without it. Schulz often used the throw-away panel for private/obscure jokes.

haha amazing! My wife insisted we watched it, and when I realised she'd fallen asleep, I was like, fuck this, and off it went.

Derek Knight @delrico.djnite.co.uk · 5d

I had it going around my head for so long last week, I had to make this.

The Tros: Ares movie poster photoshopped so that it reads "Tron: Arse". Which is objectively hilarious.

Congrats for making it to the end of The Tree Of Life, because I did not.

Came here to say it’s the best thing on the album!!

Derek Knight @delrico.djnite.co.uk · 8d

The 7” single mix is significantly better.

Derek Knight @delrico.djnite.co.uk · 8d

My fondness for the Tron franchise is mainly due to the arcade game I encountered as a kid that would give you an electric shock. (I don’t believe it was actually supposed to do that.)

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 9d

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

I remember when they first brought out sugar free polos, and it said not to eat too many as it would have a “laxative effect”. My friend thought it would be funny to eat two whole packets in one go. He had to spend all day in the toilet.

Duh, Inspector Gadget isn’t real! Checkmate.
