Def. overdue for a rewatch, maybe even both
evergreen
@idogcow on rewatch, Escape from LA is at least twice as good and three times as appallingly cheesy as I remember it.
when life gives you dinosaurs, make googly eyes

close up on a dinosaur head and neck with one white person on screen left side wearing white, with red hair holding their hand up, and I think Chris Pratt behind the dinosaur, holding its head as the dinosaur lays its head down on the grass and exhales.
the dinosaur's eye has been replaced with an animated googly eye that spins as the dino's head hits the ground.

years ago I worked on JW, and was working on this shot, so I had a really good matchmove of the eye. I created and animated a googly eye, stuck it on the dino, and put it in dailies as a joke comp.
anyway, someone reminded me of that, and while I don't have the joke comp, as personal images don't leave ILM's computer system, I did have a blu-ray Jurassic World, a non-commercial copy of nuke, and some free time this evening to recreate it from scratch.

I had a history of joke comps at ILM, like when I put a giant tin toy in to the middle of the fight between transformers in the forest in Transformers 2, or when I removed the refraction AOV from all the creatures in the saloon in Rango for a shot, making them look like zombies because it turned their eyes shiny black.
Assuming ILM keeps these, they must have a couple hours worth of these things from you and everybody else. It would be very cool of them to have an official blue-ray for-the-fans type compilation.
Thank you for sharing the results of your free time and recreating this. It out a little smile on my face this morning!

One of the last photos I got to take of my baby kitten.
Previously : https://mltshp.com/p/1RKG8
So, my kitten was having a lot of struggles the last couple of weeks and was not getting better as expected. His health and mobility were declining. We went to see the veterinarian again today and there were more tests, blood work, and exams. She referred us to a veterinarian that specialized in neurology to see if there was anything that would account for the symptoms that was not FIP.
Ultimately, the new tests, exam, and recent changes in his symptoms indicated an aggressive cancer and a grim diagnosis and no viable treatments. He was very humanely helped across the rainbow bridge cuddled in my arms this afternoon.
Me and five others in my family want to get sushi and eat tuna to celebrate the bravest cat I ever met.
I did the best I could for him and gave him the best life he could have had with the cards he was dealt.

I am so sorry.
Aww I'm so sorry. You did more than 99% of people would or could for him. *hugs*
Eat an extra tuna roll for me for him.
Eat an extra tuna roll for me for him.
bless you for giving him a good and comfortable life. i'm sure he loved you for it.
and i feel where you're coming from; i've lost some cats far sooner than i thought i would have to because there simply wasn't anything else doctors could do. the right choice still doesn't feel good.
really sorry to hear you lost him. glad you could celebrate his life together at least

"I have usernames older than you." is 100%
...all those moments will be lost in time, like specialized, non-indexed binary content on usenet.
I used the <blink> tag and fastened the rubber cups of a TRS-80 modem to my belt, as was the fashion at the time.

I have a small Skeletor "live laugh love" pin on one of my coats.
@urlnotfound Back when I had a Jurassic Park themed bathroom I made my own "live laugh love" featuring the T-Rex. That and Skeletor are the only acceptable versions of this. ;)

A small, dark building that looks like an abandoned furnace sits in a dismal green meadow under a dismal green-brown sky. It looks like it is made of cast iron, and has a door with rounded edges. Sticking up from the top of it are two dangerously rickety chimneys. One is slightly larger than the other and looks like it is made from bolted-together scrap metal. The two are fastened together with small metal strips. The building is not abandoned, however: orange light glows between bars on the door, and from a small side window, and dull smoke is coming from the chimneys. Visible in the window is the dark profile of someone inside. A small mailbox sits to the left side of the building. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"Some planks I tore from the cabin floor, and I lit the boiler fire;//
Some coal I found that was lying around, and I heaped the fuel higher;// The flames just soared, and the furnace roared—such a blaze you seldom see;// And I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee."
slightly boring fact: My dad and I memorized "The Cremation of Sam McGee" and would recite each stanza in turn whenever the power went out. To this day when there's a particular Wyoming-esque sound to the wind I automatically think, "And the heavens scowled, and the huskies howled, and the wind began to blow."

Retro-futuristic scene of a woman with a silver bob haircut in a white outfit firing rainbow laser beams toward three computer monitors, with a wall calendar reading “March 1, 2029.”
We've got just under three years to figure this out.
I feel like we literally had this with the "cast" feature on Android with the Google TV and it worked great from about 2015 to 2021-ish. Like most of Google's products and services, it just doesn't work very good anymore.

I like "Red Medicine" more than "Killtaker", I think, but this was an instabuy.

May be an image of towel rack, light switch and text
Had a great time at Pioneer Square Artwalk last night, one of the highlights was this logic puzzle / installation combo at CoCA's board show. ‘Hilbert’s Hotel’ by Nate Stemen.
Beginning to feel underdressed for the artwalk, which is a hilarious recent change.

a wet river otter is standing on four paws on a wet, rocky outcropping. It is looking to the left, and with its foreground forepaw, it is holding a small, silvery blue fish up against the side of its head as if holding a telephone.
Morality in 25 countries

Bar chart showing % of people who are rated as morally very good, somewhat good and somewhat bad or very bad. Data reflects view about fellow citizens (26 countries).
Canada says 92% are good and 7% are bad. USA says 47% are good and 53% are bad
Canada says 92% are good and 7% are bad. USA says 47% are good and 53% are bad
It's almost as if thirty years of Fox News and forty-five years of the Republican Party literally demonizing everyone who's not a straight white conservative American male had no consequences whatsoever.

@ardgedee yep, with the Canadian results as control. Fox was never allowed in by our media ownership rules

Sounds more like she's getting a taxpayer-funded sinecure with no particular obligations.

Photo of a kiosk sign, probably from a grocery store in the 1960s or 70s, with text from the title of the post. "Bunny" is a logotype in an oval. The upper half of the sign is a dingy, aged white but the lower half is profoundly yellowed. There is a second, identical sign partially hidden behind it. The photo is rotated 90° for readability so the ground is on the right.

Nancy, finally with overtly sapphic content

four panel comic of Nancy.
first panel shows Nancy with her typically spiky hair and bow, a sweater and black pants and Fritzi, a tall woman with long curly black hair, a tank top, black pants and wearing an upper arm band. They are walking in front of a brick wall that has a movie poster that shows a woman in a polka dot dress dancing with a man with black pants and white shirt. Nancy says "what a movie!"
panel two - close up on Fritzi. she holds one hand up and says "Eh, I liked the book more."
panel three - the two are walking under a streetlight, Fritzi is looking down at Nancy. Nancy says "Really? Why?"
panel four: close up on Fritzi saying "Guess I just pictured the characters differently." the image behind her shows an imagination bubble with the image of the movie poster, but instead of a man dancing with the woman, a woman looking a lot like Fritzi, wearing a black crop top is dancing with the woman in the polka-dot dress.

Photo of a creepy person with the text:
"The data centre has completely revitalized my community. It has become the third space we so desperately needed, with children playing jump rope and running down the aisles, the elderly enjoying each others company, and people leave floral wreaths inside every day. We crawl around in the total darkness on our hands and knees and our vagus nerves are stimulated by the humming of the machines. Some people have even started to disappear, growing into the walls, and once they are in that state we pay them no mind; they cease to be individuals." - Salesforce Child

this site is amazing: https://walkman.land/
Excellent.
I had a bunch of these over the years through the 90's. My favorite was probably the Panasonic that recorded. I recorded a bunch of stuff from the radio that I still occasionally listen to with that, as well as a couple of concerts. I didn't find it on the site, but its probably still at my parents house.
Eventually I ended up with a high-end Sony (WM-EX677?) on closeout right around the time I was the only one who still cared about tapes. It was super tiny, had full-logic controls and Dolby B, but also had some weird slim rechargeable battery that didn't last long. It could use a AA in a sidecar setup, but it looked super clunky.

Splash page of a The Spirit comics newspaper supplement. In an orientalist font with crescents for dots over the "i"s, it reads "the spirit", with a view of a mosque or possibly Orthodox church through a window with thin currtain, which the Spirit, a masked man in blue hat, suit, and gloves is pushing back. A brunette woman in low-cut red gown is reclining on a sofa, brushing back her hair. "I am P'gell—and this is *not* a story for little boys!"
