Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.
It's out April 1st...go add it to your pull list!
(9:17, July 2025) 4k walkthrough of the beautiful JACK KIRBY: HEROES AND HUMANITY exhibit at the Skirball Center.
I learned about this exhibit just in time to visit it on its last day.

2017 Facebook post. An example of an American who does not know that the ACA and "Obamacare" are the same thing.
American here. Too many American voters oppose universal healthcare because of anti-Black racism.
Exhibit A: Americans who love their ACA yet despise "<Black>care." ๐
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
Wonderful review. Hoping I can catch this on its last day.

The alethiometer from an adaptation of Philip Pullman's HIS DARK MATERIALS. A pair of hands holds an open compact with a dial of symbols on it. https://hisdarkmaterials.fandom.com/wiki/Alethiometer
I guess this is my long-winded way of saying that the more you bring to the table, the more a creative work might inspire you.
A great book or show might then become the alethiometer from Philip Pullman's HIS DARK MATERIALS -- pointing towards truth, for those able to read the symbols.
A still from GHOST STORY (1981), a film adaptation of Peter Straub's 1979 book. Three smiling men in 1920's outfits stand in the background. A woman stands in the foreground, her face blurred.
The 1981 film adaptation of Peter Straub's eerie GHOST STORY (1979) tells a classic ghost story.
However, the book came across to me (a white woman) as a white male writer examining the place of white heterosexual men in late-70's America, from a white heterosexual man's perspective. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I mention the viewer's bias because I see things sometimes that a creator may or *may not* have intended in the work.
I thought of hate propaganda when reading about the demon apples of Chuck Wendig's BLACK RIVER ORCHARD. As a kid, however, I would have accepted them at face value: demon apples.
MORAL, BY THE CAT You can find in a text whatever you bring, if you will stand between it and the mirror of your imagination. You may not see your ears, but they will be there.
But, art can also be a two-way street. A viewer brings their life experience to the viewing, which can affect their interpretation. Mark Twain called this out in "A Fable," as the animals each walk away with a different view of the art.

The Crucible is a 1953 play by the American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized[1] story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay from 1692 to 1693. Miller wrote the play as an allegory for McCarthyism, when the United States government persecuted people accused of being communists.[2] Miller was later questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956 and convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to identify others present at meetings he had attended.
Sometimes creators can be intentional about expressing modern anxiety through tales of the past. THE CRUCIBLE nominally takes place in 1692, but Arthur Miller used it to examine McCarthyism in 1953.
BRIDGERTON information: Original release Network Netflix Release December 25, 2020 โ present
You're not wrong! BRIDGERTON was made by people of our time, so their modern concerns will be reflected in the work!
I read the article to see if this was about BLACKSAD (detective stories in an anthropomorphic animal world). It was about a different project.

A nearly empty carton of eggs.
Price of two dozen Humane Certified eggs at Costco in Burbank: $7.09
They look almost identical to the Certified Humane eggs available at my Costco in Burbank. Those are $7.09 for two dozen. Good eggs. ๐๐
Yes. My Tapo C225 indoor camera uses its own onboard storage (microSD). A cloud subscription is optional.
A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our countryโs problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isnโt a hate-filled weirdo knows it.
unmute and listen all the way through, trust me
Nothing wrong with culinary curiosity! The history behind ingredients and techniques lends savor to a dish.
I was happy to learn there was no coincidence behind the names of Korean "mandu" and Armenian "monta" dumplings. Traders spread the idea along the Silk Road.

Wikipedia page for peanut sauce:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_...
The Wikipedia page for peanut sauce confirms that it was a different culinary branch of peanuts in cooking.
In this hemisphere, we have evidence that the ancient Incas enjoyed peanut butter, but we did not have peanut sauce in the 1800s.
