Well… at least we shot down all those anti-Q bills.

Oh hey Florida. I’m in you. Again.

Drove up to NYC and then back down to ATL for a weekend of stuff.

Got to see my film play at Smodcastle, got to visit my favourite boardwalk arcade for the first time in like 30 years, went up the Empire State Building for the first time ever.

It was nice.

I’m not getting in this car again.

It just needs a small kiss. Right on the lips. Then it won’t be so tense.

I loved it so much. I haven’t felt that way about a weird movie since Everything Everywhere All At Once

I’m old now. I don’t understand the internet. Which is wild after helping it become what it is. :(

Being sight impaired I can really appreciate this.

You're a zero
What's your name?
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're a crime, crime, crime of love
Can you climb, climb, climb high up?
.

Also a jwz sighting in the wild so I guess we’re all about to move back to LJ any minute.

Ouch my bones. :(

Yeah. :(

NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.

All of a sudden, in the middle of winter, it’s hammock weather.

This fueled my soul. Watch the whole thing.

Make it a double. I’m drinking for two.

Bartender: what can i get ya?

Me: drunk af

That’s life. Dangly bits will continue to dangle.

Bring 50 is wild. I have no idea what to do with myself anymore.

Shots fired.

I know I said this a few weeks ago but… I guess we live in a fascist country now.

Seriously.

I think about things like this a lot nowadays. I just turned fifty and I have website profiles that are now 25 years old. For some reason I disassociate when that crosses my mind.

It is wild how hateful and aggressive the people over at Threads are. But then again it get's me engagement, which is the opposite of what happens here.

Double edged sword I guess?

Celebrating 50 Years of Life and 25 Years Online

Being able to make both of these statements is a thing not very many people can say, so I'm feeling pretty blessed, kinda hydrated, and definitely full of gratitude. Anyways to celebrate my birthday I created a bunch of cool stuff for Atlanta's…

I am now leveled up to 50.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
