Classic 'angry dragon's head' formation in the crude price. I'll leave it to more experienced technical analysts to judge whether this is bullish.

Love waking up from an absolute bizarre dream. Your subconscious is truly on some different shit fr

There’s no dopamine like making art. Just got out of a 4 hour studio session and feel like I’m walking on the moon

Just showed our maintenance guy my favorite site to pirate streams and made his day. I think he's going to fall in love with the beautiful game again

Movies are awesome. Was watching a bollywood classic with my grandparents that they last saw when they were teenagers (1957), and my grandma casually dropped a major spoiler 20 mins in

People rediscovering that lower def video game graphics often had better and more memorable aesthetics is just another instance of people realizing what the essence of cartooning is. What boiling a visual down to its pure essence through process (and in the case of limited graphical capability, necessity) of elimination was. Creative and ingenious solutions to visual communications problems are bolstered through limitation, and those solutions are often timeless, brilliant and truthful.

Even the trashcans dream of summer

probs a blasphemous take for a californian, but I think beaches were meant for the sunrises

beach sunsets are obv these very cinematic declarations of nature’s beauty that’s meant for everybody, but a beach sunrise always felt like an invitation for few, almost conspiratorial

Are there different types of knowing? Is there an atomicity of “knowing” that is beyond proof?

Dreams can be electromagnetically measured, create biological responses, but to most people, are less real than… fate or coincidence or god

Is it simply bc we don’t choose them?

[chanakya @chan_varma]

Evolutionarily speaking, dreams are insane. Especially one of those afternoon naps when nothing crazy happens but you’re just talking to your mom

She was just there, I had a full blown convo, but my mind “knows” it wasn’t real

Consciousness literally is just a state of mind

[chanakya @chan_varma]

The mind constructs realities all the time: we can lie, write fiction, even have full blown delusions and beliefs that might last a lifetime

But wake up from a dream (which is arguably also a lived experience)… and the same mind immediately knows that it’s not real??

[chanakya @chan_varma]

@MarchInPlace @juliancd38 very cool! I didn’t know that. I looked it up and I think there’s still photochemically something cool about firefly light because it doesn’t count as black body radiation so it’s technically outside the “color temperature” scale

[chanakya @chan_varma]

We’re not meant to see them like this!!

This film is specifically made to balance hot lights (indoor bulbs), but inadvertently turn skies purple bc they’re much cold light sources

FIREFLIES don’t produce any heat at all (100% light) so they’re completely unaffected by the film
