The wordless feature film, "Sasquatch Sunset," explores, with poignancy and lowbrow humor, the relationships of a Sasquatch family played by Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner. @IndieWire talks to co-directors Zellner and his brother David about how they made the movie — including "Sasquatch camp" with a Marcel Marceau-trained coach, prosthetic makeup, and natural lighting.

I've been watching the Folding Ideas series about web3 and I still stand in awe that someone thought the concept of an NFT sounded like a good one, let alone as many people as bought into them.

Then this showed up on Ars. It's fun to watch people roast "Web3" bullshit:

I've been contacted by a university from the UK, asking me to act as an external expert to assess an application for promotion to professor

Is this usual?

For context:

If you're hoping Rishi Sunak might call an early election, you haven't fully understood the Tories end-game.

Right now they are looking to:

create as many problems as possible for the next Govt. by conducting a scorched earth strategy;

while continuing to enrich themselves & their chums (until the last moment).

They know they're going to lose but they're going to try to make the next five years hellish, so they can ride in to save us in 2029 (or before if Starmer's Govt. collapses).

But that's only because there hasn't been any other persistently profligate perpetrator of crimes like Trump before. Click…

I see Swifts visiting the nest above our front door, but haven't gotten up on a ladder to see if there are any younguns in there. I won't clean out the nests in the rafters until all the little ones have flown. :)

I'm okay with term limits for Supreme Court Justices but I think they should be retroactive and include bribe clawbacks. Let's do it right.

I’ve been working on a deep-dive blog post about my small typewriter collection, because I’m that kind of nerd. It’s been really interesting to compare the machines and notice how much variety there is in features, typefaces, and typing, which I never really noticed when using them one at a time. A 🧵
