“Beatty is available”

“The Bonnie And Clyde guy? Perfect, book him”

These days, I think a lot about Goodhart’s Law:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhar...

“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".

We have all been press-ganged into chasing the wrong things - debasing ourselves for metrics.

It’s so fucking sad.

Saw it last night at the PCC.
Still mindblowing ❤️

3 panels comic Title : Choses vues - Dans la nuit. Things seen - At Night. Panel 1 : Foreground, me on my bike at night. Background, a weird silhouette. Panel 2 : Bottom, the top of my head. Top, a thought bubble with a creature matching the silhouette, it has a really long neck. Panel 3 : Bottom, me on my bike catching up on the silhouette. Top, a person with a guitar case on their back. The top part was the long neck and head of the silhouette.

THE BLADE (1995): The Edges of Wuxia | Criterion x Every Frame a Painting YouTube video by CRITERION

Another fantastic video essay from Tony Zhou (Every Frame A Painting) and Taylor Ramos

* How do we expand the edges of an established genre?
* How do audiences react when genre traditions are subverted / profaned?

What a beautiful building on the right! I was caught off guard by the giant Rasputin-like face in the negative space.

This is wonderful.

Won’t it be nice when *it happens*, and the whole world can party in the streets, chanting “it’s over!”.

Exactly that, yes

Its clobberin’ time!

Horrendous makeup, not helped by Guy Pearce walking like Brains from Thunderbirds.

Sorry, no, TikTok is surely worse, but it’s CLOSE.

Especially as IG is entirely based on visual spectacle. It’s the single worst vessel we have for meaningful discourse.

It’s like a ruptured sewer pipe that sometimes expells a few newspaper pages.

Using #MindfulPalettes by @alexcristache

( #illustration | #watercolour | #rebelle )

Bar chart comparing the ratio of new visual information to processing/reflection time across five frame rates (60, 30, 24, 12, and 1 fps). At 60 fps, the bar is entirely orange, indicating the frame is filled with new visual information and no processing time. As frame rate decreases, the orange portion shrinks and the dark grey "processing/reflection time" portion grows. At 1 fps, the bar is almost entirely dark grey, with only a sliver of orange, showing that nearly all of the frame's time is available for processing and reflection.

There is a flawed assumption that fluidity "increases audience immersion" and is therefore a universal good.

I think the inverse is actually true: lower frame rates afford audiences time to THINK in the gaps between new visual information.

We should cater to audiences instead of force-feeding them

A miniature model of the moon with text extruding from the surface, it reads "MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE 3000"

Incredible pic from Artemis II.

Show me the letters, dammit!
