Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis. www.thisiscolossal.com/2024/07/kowl...

I've been watching random movies on tubi in the evening & I've come to the conclusion that there was a period during the 80s & 90s when Kurtwood Smith was in every movie.

I feel for my American friends. It looks like you live in a country where what's "legal" & "illegal" will now be decided on a case by case basis by 6 old guys who just made it "legal" to bribe them. Oh, and you're all heavily armed.

I'm watching No Way Out (1987, Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, Sean Young). What a flimsy, clunky little movie. Hard to tell if too many people worked on the script, or too few, but it definitely needed dialogue work. And a better soundtrack.

*whispers into the void*: make art that even shitty image scraper accounts refuse to steal.

For some reason Twitch City came to my mind today. It was kind of an antidote to Friends & the brainless roommate sitcoms of the day. Deeply absurd, disturbing, and I thought at the time a bit radical for commercial tv. I'm curious to know if it still stands up. www.imdb.com/title/tt0135...

I've starting another "Double self" this weekend (a long weekend here in Canada.) The latest one is called "Double self (THIS IS IMPORTANT!)" and I've put on the fedora. I think it adds gravitas.
