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:
- I'm not from the UK
- It's not sure how close the applicant's area will be to mine
- Perhaps they are looking for my namesake
- I'm overcommitted
- I'm not sure there's anything for me

Please boost if you have followers who might know this

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).

Trump Says All Presidents Must Have ‘Total Immunity’ from Crimes – Except for President Biden

Next week jury selection will begin for the first criminal trial of Donald Trump. In fact, it's the first criminal trial of any former American president. Trump is outraged because, as he incessantly whines, "Nothing like this has ever happened before." 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. :)

This is very interesting. Acoustic detection of bird populations in the vicinity of (mostly houses) in the UK and Ireland.

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 🧵

Groups are working to protect trees — and traditions — from the #EmeraldAshBorer

By Carol Bousquet
Published October 10, 2023

"John Daigle, a citizen of the #PenobscotNation and Forest Resources Professor at UMaine, says his grandparents' baskets provided income for the family and a way to connect one generation of Wabanaki to the next.

"'When I interacted more with basket makers and harvesters I gained a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of brown ash, in terms of its ties to one of the creation stories of the #Wabanaki people, of all four tribes in Maine,' Daigle said.

"In addition to seed collection and propagation, there are other efforts underway to stop the march of the emerald ash borer, which was identified last year in Bridgton. That's one location where a non-native wasp that preys on the beetle is being introduced.

"Maggie Lynn, Development and Outreach Manager at Loon Echo Land Trust, says Bridgton is one of a handful of sites across the state where the wasps, native to Asia and reared at a Midwest facility, are being released.

"'We've been releasing them all summer and will again next year... the state will take some trees to see if the wasps are still there and it's working,' she said."

I'll put it side by side for you:

1) An 18-25 year old enlisting in the military works *with* a controlling society's goal to force others to do it's will. They serve as literal living weapons to inflict violent control over other people in society and war.

2) An 18-25 year old transitioning to a physical form and personal/social identity which better fits them *violates* a society's goal to force others to do its will. They threaten the social order.

See the difference?
