The covers of three books. Left to right: Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend, about the late Sopranos actor. The cover shows Gandolfini looking shy, peering offscreen with one unobstructed eye and another that peeks out between the fingers of his right hand. CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer. RIGHT David Hockney's painting collection The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, showing a painting of a verdant field. In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.

A screenshot of the pre-orders section at mzs.press. Three screenshots of books that have not yet been released. I Am The Night, Daniel Dockery's book about Batman the Brave and the Bold, has a silhouette of Batman stretching from the top to the bottom of the cover, with the title of the book and a nighttime Gotham skyline circumscribed by the borders of the Batman silhouette. CENTER The cover of The Ring Cycle, Matt Zoller Seitz and Odie Henderson's book on the Rocky and Creed films. The cover is white except for a pair of black boxing gloves floating there RIGHT The cover of Documentary Now!, the 600-page, 7-pound coffee table book celebrating the aforementioned IFC Channel series parodying classic documentaries.

Screenshot of the covers of 3 books carried at mzs.press Arts Bookstore. LEFT: The cover of Gotham City Cocktails, a book of mixed drink recipes inspired by Batman. Art deco-style flowing border lines flow around and around the interior of the dust jacket.

if you recognize the importance of preserving the night sky, submit comments below. SpaceX public comments close today, Reflect Orbital mirrors close 3/9. (Took a few steps to create an account, but worth it.) ✨✨✨

i keep seeing coverage of the terrible jobs report with the word "unexpected" or "surprising" and my only conclusion is that these reporters are high as fuck

A Company Plans 4,000 Orbiting 'Sky Mirrors' to Shine Sunlight on Earth After Dark, Worrying Astronomers A startup wants to light up the night sky using giant mirrors in space. The idea could extend daylight for solar farms and nighttime operations.

this is a top ten fucking awful idea in a time when the competition among awful ideas is very, very intense.

save the night sky, save the dark, save the starlight. ✨

storing them in a glass of water (like a plant, since they are plant, lol) can keep them around longer

thank you for the lol

Stars are disappearing before our eyes — and something in us is shifting For most of human history, the night sky has been a shared inheritance, a source of wonder. Now, more than a billion children see barely any stars in the night sky above their homes. So what does that...

save the starlight ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Let's meet Micromelo undatus, also called "miniature melo", a species of "bubble shell" sea snail.

She's got a little art deco backpack!

These snails live in shallow waters at locations around the world (Hawaii, South Africa, Japan).
