Really channeling pigeon right now

[Dr. Elizabeth Carlen @E_Carlen]

My cousin came home to find a pigeon built a nest* & LAID AN EGG on her bed.

Luckily, as of last week, I'm a pigeon "expert".

*Pigeons are notoriously terrible nest builders so this one stick constitutes her attempt at a nest.

Guillermo del Toro brought "Pan's Labyrinth" back to #Cannes and said "we are, unfortunately, in times that make this movie more pertinent than ever."

"They tell us that art can be done with a fucking app, and we are facing things so formidable... But I feel and I think, like the girl Ofelia in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth,’ if we can just leave a mark, if we can put our faith against our faith and our strength against our strength, there is hope. And the last thing we can have is to give to one of the two forces: we can give to love, or we can give to fear. Never, never, never give to fear.”

We have spent years being told it is “just a period problem” while our skin, our weight, our mood, and our energy were all falling apart. Today, the medical world finally admitted you were right.
PCOS is now PMOS.

@hell_line0 My senior parents never got the covid vaccine due, in part, to a nurse that did this.

To this day if I know I need to crank something out, I try to get less sleep the night before because I remember how much it helped in college 😅

Your brain at 2 AM writing a paper you started at 10 PM is operating in a neurochemical state that most productivity systems spend thousands of dollars trying to replicate.

Sleep deprivation suppresses your prefrontal cortex. That's the region responsible for self-criticism, second-guessing, and the voice that says "this paragraph isn't good enough." At 2 AM, that voice goes quiet. Not because you've achieved some zen state. Because the hardware running it is shutting down for the night and you won't let it.

Meanwhile the deadline is dumping norepinephrine and cortisol into your system, which narrows your attention to a single point. Your brain physically cannot multitask in that state. No checking your phone. No opening a new tab. The stress response has commandeered every available resource and pointed it at the Google Doc.

Lowered inhibition plus chemically forced single-task focus. That combination is almost identical to what Csikszentmihalyi documented across 30 years of flow state research. Clear goal, immediate feedback, challenge matched to skill. A 12-page paper due in 8 hours hits all three criteria by accident.

The lo-fi beats matter more than people think. Repetitive audio at 60-70 BPM synchronizes with resting heart rate and suppresses novelty-seeking circuits. You stop hearing it within minutes. It becomes an auditory wall that blocks interruption without costing you any cognitive load. It's the cheapest sensory deprivation chamber ever built.

And the black coffee at midnight is pharmacologically different from your morning cup. Your adenosine levels have been building all day, so the caffeine is fighting a much stronger sleep signal. The subjective experience of "wired but calm" at 1 AM is a different drug interaction than alert-at-9-AM. Same molecule, completely different neurochemical environment.

Every semester, twice a semester, four years straight. That's 40 sessions of accidental deep work before anyone had a name for it.

The grade was an A- because the conditions were perfect. Not despite the chaos. Because of it.

@MLGW @CityOfMemphis What's the latest target date for when the grey water recycling facility for xAI will be operational?

[Blackish Press @blackishpress]

Viola Davis revealed why she said, "You are shining, Harold Loomis. Shining like new money," when presenting the award to Michael B. Jordan at the Actors Awards

The line comes from “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” August Wilson’s 1984 play. It’s her favorite from his “American Century Cycle,” and she made her stage debut in a 1988 production of it

“That line is constantly playing out in my mind, because what it encapsulates is someone stepping into their purpose. It gives me goose bumps. And that’s how I felt about Michael B Jordan.”

The ending of WALL·E (2008) hits harder than most live-action films. Eve trying to reach the version of him she knew, waiting for something to flicker back… it’s one of Pixar’s most devastating beats before the relief finally comes.

[Haala ⚢ @haalaphrodyke]

Sinners is genuinely the most important movie of the year and no I don't mean it in terms of representation but the fact that it opens up the possibility for artists to own the art that they make under capitalism. The fact that it didn't get buried for it is a small miracle

Can we see how things are going over there?

[Astronomy Vibes @AstronomyVibes]

🚨 Physicists now suspect our universe has a MIRROR twin — a cosmos running backward in time ⏳

If that’s true, we’re only seeing half of reality, because the Big Bang may have created two universes, and we’re living in just one side of the cosmic mirror. 🌌🪞

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Tremors (1990) is one of the tightest creature-features. Every setup lands, every gag has purpose and the script wastes nothing. The writers even built the Graboids’ attacks around what they couldn’t show on their budget, turning limits into smart suspense

[Cinema Tweets @CinemaTweets1]

This sequence in Sinners is one of the most memorable stretches of filmmaking this year. I always talk about how movies are moments. We forget plot & character long after we’ve seen a film. But we remember moments. Ryan Coogler blessed us with more than one moment in Sinners.

Imagine a season of True Detective with these two

[Sarha with an h @ChloeSilverad0]

@Essa_Dee Nope

[Sarha with an h @ChloeSilverad0]

@Essa_Dee Someone at work did tell me that if you're at an event and you're hesitant to network, to go out and find the smoker section and start with them!
