A double album that suspends reality and looks through the human soul and tells you things about yourself you don't know, Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde unfurls with conscious-altering power. Never more so than on MoFi’s definitive 45RPM #vinyl box set. vynl.me/blondonblondelp

On this day in 1999, 'The Blair Witch Project' received a limited release across the US. The film was shot in only 8 days and the directors gave the actors less food each day in order to make them more unsettled and angry with each other. - Jamie

Thanks to @Oh_Deer_Diner for picking an utter classic. Also this concludes year two of #bootlegfriday. Thanks to everyone for your support, your great picks and all the fun. Hopefully we'll manage a third year depending on the whims of our tech overlords. Goodnight.

Great news everyone. It looks like #bootlegfriday will be able to close out our summer of action movies after all. Assuming that this platform still exists at the end of the week. Details to follow next Wednesday.

The Arts Council yesterday made a regrettable error. We issued letters to 141 applicants for the Next Generation Artists award, incorrectly indicating that an award would be granted. We then emailed all affected to inform them of our error and we apologised unreservedly. 1/3

“Girl, 9, accused of being trans at Kelowna track meet” This is where anti-trans hate leads. It is an attack on all forms of gender non-conformity, ending in the re-imposition of regressive gender norms and threatening progress on women’s rights. castanet.net/news/Kelowna/43…

Kurt Vonnegut's theory of story shapes theory is the most delightful rejected master's thesis I know. All the great tales of the world can be graphed, he says, revealing the inner life of a society. Watch, enjoy, and consider what shape the stories of 2023 might make.

Even if you shut off white balance, most of the pictures I see aren't selling how orange the sky is, because there's no frame of reference. Here's a 6500k display with an image we all recognize, for a more relative perspective. The color science isn't perfect, but close enough.
