My budgie, Artoo, gets super excited when the wild parrot flocks are outside. It's very cute.

Many thanks to @reactorsff.bsky.social and @tobiascarroll.bsky.social for featuring SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL by wonderful @cornellwriter.bsky.social!

I have to say that playing an hour and a half of "Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun" was highly cathartic.

Watch Midnight Diner | Netflix A scarred man operates a midnight diner in the backstreets of Shinjuku. No one knows his name or his story, but his customers each bring him theirs.

Midnight Diner available on Netflix is beautiful, haunting, affecting. Subtitles not dubbing. Poetry of the city from a great Japanese director. www.netflix.com/watch/80113542

I wish now I had seen it in a movie theater.

I’ve been very behind on a lot of movies and I finally watched SINNERS this weekend. I don’t think I’m going to stop thinking about this movie for a long time, if ever. Transcendent.
Ryan Coogler, you genius.
