I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.
The controversial weed killer Roundup is now being deployed in private and public forests at record rates.

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
something soooo deeply human about this moment that honestly seems hard to wrap my mind around. sent with tangible representations of love up to space, and making sure that love is made known twice over. wowowowowow

It’s always driven me nuts that my generation largely created the “too cool to care” slacker mentality. That is a loser mindset. Trying hard is cool. Pushing yourself to be better is cool. Caring is cool. Love Wemby for this.
Harrison Ford was in tears during his super emotional Lifetime Achievement Award speech. This was so good
"Sometimes we make entertainment. Sometimes we make art. Sometimes, if we're lucky, we make 'em both at the same time. And if we're really fortunate, we also get to make a living doing it. Success in this business brings a certain freedom that comes with responsibility to support each other, to lift others up when we can. To keep the door open for the next kid, the next lost boy who's looking for a place to belong. I'm, indeed, a lucky guy. Lucky to have found my people. Lucky to have work that challenges me. Lucky to still be doing it. And I don't take that for granted."

the most annoying guy you know is posting this on his instagram today😭😭😭. Also a guy you think is really cool is posting it. Also a beautiful woman. Also a guy you met at a bar once. Also another beautiful woman. Also a few of your coworkers from your last job.
Facing the most shameful, weak, unpracticed, undisciplined version of yourself with compassion in order to grow and get better is the quickest path to self actualisation
Stellen Skarsgard on the the growing presence of AI in the movie industry:
"For thousands of years, people have been very much interested in people. Describing people is what theater does, what film does — and what we do best. In film — even better than in television — you can describe all the unspoken words, all the unspoken facets of a relationship that are almost impossible to explain but are still there. We will always be curious about other people. That curiosity will never leave us."
What form it takes, how it will be produced — maybe some people will be happy enough with what AI can produce, and some will not. But I think the main problem for the moving image industry today is the concentration of capital. And the concentration of capital is the problem for every industry, for humanity. AI is nothing without the men behind it. AI is owned by the tech barons standing right behind power."
