Le petit bout de carrière antique de la Corderie - vestige primordial de la fondation de Massalia par les Phocéens au VIe av. JC - sera présentée sous cette ombrière en cours d'installation. 8 ans de bataille pour accoucher d'une cahute 😆

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

Vu l’évolution que prend ce domaine, les nouvelles approches de SF de la question peuvent certainement donner de chouettes histoires un peu originales avant qu’on crève tous !

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Found this pic of a vintage Avon Thomas Disch paperback I bought in Lancaster, PA aeons ago
Close up of a vintage paperback cover to Thomas M. Disch's "334." It's the 1974 Avon mass market paperback edition. 

The illustration is framed through a red cover with a diamoned shaped cutout in the center, where we can see - fisheye lens-style - into the interior of a narrow living room that looks like a music video camera setup inside of a limo. 

The walls and ceiling are baby blue. There's a door to the left and a window with a slivered view of the city outside to her right. A blocky green television with a wire antenna sits in the foreground of the image.

Front and center, sitting provocatively on a grey upholstered settee, is a voluptuous, curvaceous woman (purposefully exaggerated and giving Jessica Rabbit vibes). She wears a red corset with purple arm-length gloves & garters attached to matching purple stockings, and green strappy stilleto pumps. Her legs (thick and muscular, like a Crumb Girl) are spread akimbo on the settee; her hip-to-waist ratio is cartoonish, and male-gazed. She has short blond hair, a full face of makup, and sunglasses. 

The artist is not attributed on the cover, and I couldn't find any specific confirmation online. It's suggested it might be an uncredited work by sci-fi and fantasy illustrator Don Ivan Punchatz

Not to be a Debbie downer, but I have been encouraging everyone to start memorizing numbers again. Think about everything going on and why you might need to do that, and then commit to it.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Comme cette photo tourne beaucoup mais que personne ne prend la peine de donner le nom de la femme sur la droite : il s'agit de Kathryn Mullen, la marionnettiste de Kira sur Dark Crystal. Elle a aussi travaillé sur Yoda et sur des Muppets.

Ah, et de dos c'est Frank Oz et au milieu c'est Jim Henson.
C'est une photo de Franz Oz assis derrière sa caméra, en train de filmer les marionnettes de Jen et Kira pour son film Dark Crystal. Jim Henson et Kathryn Mullen sont assis sous les deux marionnettes et regardent un retour vidéo face à elleux. L'ensemble du dispositif est monté sur une plateforme en hauteur devant un décors de faux rochers.

Un gouvernement technique : rapide présentation.

Premier ministre : Sébastien Lecornu. Après avoir interrompu son M et sans avoir jamais exercé d'activité professionnelle, il est assistant parlementaire puis élu UMP/LR et le seul membre de tous les gouvernements Macron. Technique.

Un jour, je discutais avec un collègue italien qui me disait que son père détestait Asterix. Surpris, je lui demande pourquoi.
"Parce qu'ils se moquent des Romains"

Maintenant imaginez Asterix mais dans un village algérien ou guyanais.
Ou même palestinien.
Bah ça rigolerait moins.

La France, c'est le pays qui célèbre chaque année une insurrection populaire mais qui crie à l'ensauvagement dès qu'une poubelle flambe, et dont la BD la plus célèbre parle d'un village qui résiste à une occupation coloniale impérialiste, sans parvenir à regarder son propre système oppressif en face

À une époque quand ils entendaient le mot culture certains sortaient leur revolver, maintenant ils sortent Dati c’est beaucoup plus létal
marjolainekoch.bsky.social
Mais pourquoi ils tiennent tant que ça à mettre Dati à la culture ? 😩

Tout à fait d’accord avec M. Web, on sent l’envie d’éviter les écueils du biopic et le style de Chomet y parvient presque par sa poésie, l’incarnation des figures de l’époque, la beauté des décors, mais retombe dans des travers d’écriture. Ça laisse sur sa faim mais c’est plaisant et touchant

A must-see mashup of folk horror, revenge thriller, and war movie. The sheer daring of SALOUM is something to behold. My only real quibble is w/ the CGI spirits--their fakeness feels jarringly out of place in a film where the lead actors are giving such intense, emotionally authentic performances

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”
Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs". There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

J'avais entendu beaucoup d'échos très peu glorieux de la part de collaborateurs, notamment sur des productions de courts-métrages, et en fait c'est encore pire ce que je savais déjà. Plein soutien aux victimes.
