Indie product designer, author of Mastering Collaboration, artist, I love music. She/her. Was @Gretared on the bird site.

I was thinking about the "Baseline" scene from Blade Runner 2049 the other day and idly tried to search for a transcript of it, and immediately fell down a rabbit hole learning

1. The script for that scene was written by Ryan Gosling
2. The test itself is fundamentally based on an actor's exercise Ryan Gosling had been trained in invented by a Massachusetts Shakespeare company

I wrote a blog post on Cohost about "Dropping In" and the ins and outs of how this happened:

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.
Why can’t I post photos? I’ve done it before…

"Plastic recycling is a myth"—yep, this checks out. Study says only 5% of plastics you put into the blue bin make it to a recycled state. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/10/28/science/plastic-recycling-is-myth-study-says/
Plastic recycling is a ‘myth,’ study says

Of the 51 million tons of plastic waste US households generated in 2021, just 2.4 million tons — or 5 percent — was recycled, new research shows.

When I started Twitter the first people I followed were designers because designers. Then it was journalists. But somehow here I’ve started following a bunch of art makers and it’s already making my TL so much more fun and interesting.
the company that controls all the drawing software had a falling out with the company that "owns colors" so now your old images might turn black unless you pay a recurring licensing fee but people keep telling me this economic system is not literally insane
