FIGHT CLUB turns 26 today. I wrote for @bwdr.bsky.social about the rules of watching one of the last great films of 1999, of the 20th century, of the end times:

"The 8th and final rule of watching FIGHT CLUB?

"This is a fucking love story."

The same universe that crafted koalas and quasars and crocus petals authored the mind reading these words.
Don't let intimate knowledge of your own life rob you of the dignity and wonder you are owed.

I found my first Gulf Stream Orphan while collecting macroalgae in Cape Elizabeth this week; a Spotfin Butterflyfish (Chaetodon ocellatus), no bigger than my fingernail.

I love the theory behind 'aesthetics', utopian scholastic has a place in my heart because it also has a very specific sound associated with it too and you'll know it the moment you hear it.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 16d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

Quality label of the highest order 🏅

Screenshot of an oval shaped sticker design. In the center is a cartoon style sacabambaspis, an extinct fish with an oval shape. The top half of the fish is grey, the bottom white. The face is simple with two dots for eyes and a triangle-shaped open mouth. I drew arms on the fish so he can give a thumbs up. Around the fish is text in yellow with a black outline. The text at the top says "Sacabam", the text at the bottom says "tastic", so it's a wordplay on sacabambaspis.

Love a Flower Hat Jelly (Olindias formosa) - photo credit: Monterey Bay Aquarium

A photo of a Flower Hat Jelly on a black background. The Jelly is translucent neon green with black squiggles down its medusa. White oral arms, which look like fuzzy, spiraled pipe cleaners, peek out from the center of the jelly. Dozens of delicate blue-purple tentacles bloom in all directions from the edge of the bell, each tipped with a bright spot of electric yellow and then purple.

Thank you @adn.com for publishing my obituary for perhaps the most beloved bear in the world: the late, great, king 480 Otis.

Anchorage Daily News @adn.com · 23d

Fat Bear Week has arrived, featuring some of the biggest and brawniest bears of Brooks River. But longtime fans will note that there are several beloved bears missing from this year’s bracket.

Remembering 480 Otis, the ‘Buddha of Brooks Falls’ and Fat Bear Week’s greatest champion

With four Fat Bear Week titles and a Zen master approach, the bear had garnered plenty of fans since it was first sighted in 2001.

I was asked yesterday to post a walkthrough of Life Over Time, the shortest-lived and generally weirdest iteration of the Field Museum’s fossil halls. If you visited between 1994 and 2004, this is the version you saw. I’ve got some time, so let’s do this.

A carnival-like exhibit entrance with a dinosaur skull, coelacanth model, and pantodont skeleton in cases under freak show-style banners labeling them as "Mesozoic terror" and "the fish that wouldn't die'

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.
