I was thinking after the music biopic chat yesterday about how the underlying assumption of tech and capital seems to be that culture has stopped, it’s a solved problem. Every innovation has been made, every style invented and trope named, and the old will always provide higher returns than the new
We already have a visual medium that can de-age actors and keep characters eternally young - comics. But we also know from decades of comics doing it that it tends to stagnation. Make up some new stuff eh?

@infinitescream.bsky.social please do your thing.
The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷♂️”

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Three logicians walk into a bar.
The bartender asks “The three of you want a drink?”
The first one says “I don’t know”
The second one says “I don’t know”
The third one says “yes”

One of my favorite historical programs is a BBC production of Thucydides’s “History” that’s done with all the production value of a public access talk show but the source material is amazing and it has Ben Kingsley as Pericles and the other roles are a murderer’s row of British TV/stage regulars.
Seeing the AI 1776 trailer and thinking of the attendant excuse of "we wouldn't have the budget for this without AI" in relation to I, Claudius. Where the seams show, dodgy age makeup, an Ancient Room the size of a Hampton Inn lobby, and how it's still one of the best TV series ever made.

If you’re ever in Oslo the Norweigian Resistance Museum is pretty awesome. Some weapons but mostly lots of exhibits about all the places you can hide a radio, and tons of samizdat resistance newspapers.
I reached out to the director of Norway’s Resistance Museum, a collection of artifacts selected by surviving members the resistance.
“It is no coincidence that two red knitted caps occupy a central place alongside submachine guns, hand grenades, and radio transmitters.”
