🎬 Barbarella

Movie poster for “Barbarella”.

A classic I’ve not seen before. I wouldn’t say one has to know this, but it definitely doesn’t hurt. And I was very much enjoying myself, especially with those "Mondo Bizzarr"-audience at the cinema. The plot is more like a series of scetches and the dialogue is rather peculiar at times, but honestly, everything is so silly and over the top, it’s funny again. And all the sets and props are lovingly done. “Sieg der Liebe!”

Katy Steinmetz, writing for The Washington Post (via Mignon Fogarty): But lately, one meaning has become trendier than the rest. Close ties to artificial intelligence have led to a surge in “deep” being used for AI-related endeavors, to the point that the word is fast be...

‘Ready’ Is the New ‘Approved’

mastodon.social/@rileytestut/114043540322770608

File this one under “precise words matter”. Remember the whole thing a few weeks back, where AltStore PAL — an EU alternative app marketplace for iOS — published Hot Tub, a hardcore porno app, and billed it as “approved” by Apple because that’s the word Apple used for apps t...

Jim Rea: Forty years ago today the doors opened for the very first Macworld Expo in the Brooks Hall basement in San Francisco. For most of you this event probably seems like ancient history, somewhere back in the mists of time. But for me this was a very real and excitin...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this photo before, of artist Amy Sherald and former First Lady Michelle Obama sharing a hug during a session for Sherald’s iconic portrait of Obama. What a different time that was, huh?

ANXIETY: Doechii Raps Over Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know (2019)

I can already tell this is going to be my favorite thing of the day: Doechii singing and rapping about anxiety over Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know from 2019. If you didn’t know she could sing, well you do now.

If my math is right, Doechii was 21 in this video, living in NYC, vlogging about going to thrift stores (on her old YouTube channel that only has a little over 9,000 subscribers), and working hard on her music. I think it paid off?

P.S. This video from 2015 of Doechii in high school singing Do You Want to Build a Snowman? with her friends is super sweet.
