These matte paintings blew our minds a whopping 46 years ago... and they still do today. It's incredible to see the skill of artists from a time when computers weren't yet designed to amaze us.

There is one thing I find a bit annoying, is that when sending gmail Emails from @bot, unless you have it use the web version of gmail, does not include your signature by default. Am I missing something?
Woah very cool. Great book.
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is developing a movie adaptation of "Hatchet," Gary Paulsen’s 1987 young adult survival novel.
• The film will be written and directed by Derek Cianfrance, best known for films such as “Blue Valentine” and “The Place Beyond the Pines.”
• Per the synopsis: “Hatchet” follows “13-year-old Brian Robeson, who is stranded alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash with nothing but the hatchet his mother gave him.”
• Paulsen later expanded the story into a five-book series that included “The River” (1991), “Brian’s Winter” (1996), “Brian’s Return” (1999) and “Brian’s Hunt” (2003).

The reaction to this has been sad. They just donated $6.25 *billion* to low-income kids, which is one of the largest charitable acts for children in history. And I’m not sure if anyone actually knows that, because everyone is just talking about Susan Dell’s face. It sucks.
Susan Dell, wife of Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell, encouraged families to register for Trump Accounts while speaking alongside the president on Wednesday. After Mrs. Dell’s speech, President Trump asked Mr. Dell whether his wife was considering running for office and gave her his "complete and total endorsement." The Dells previously pledged a donation of $6.25 billion to the Trump Accounts.

MEGALOPOLIS (2024) is Francis Ford Coppola swinging for the fences with absolutely nothing holding him back. Cinema.
I just reached into my pocket and found a drill bit, pencil, and doggie bags. Not sure what that says about me but I think it says awesome.
He’s Cage so whatever he wants he gets. He’s fucking God.
Nicolas Cage says he is “probably not going to be working with” Amazon in the future after he refused to sign a waiver for AI on ‘SPIDER-NOIR’:
“Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI. I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club.”

Sorry but this is fucking awesome

I built a Photoshop-like image editor. It’s called Compositor.
robbietilton.com/compositor
I originally built it for myself to get off my Adobe subscription, but decided to release it for free and make it open source. It has all the essential tools I need for compositing, with none of the BS.
I know this workflow is kind of archaic in 2026, but I’m still using it until AI can actually get pixel-perfect on some of the details.
The entire app is 12MB. Photoshop is 6,455MB on my machine.
