This explanation of the 'greenhouse effect' in 1985 by Dr. Carl Sagan remains a landmark of science communication for its clarity and planetary perspective.

@Goldrushcomic Gorgeous guitar too.

13 years okay I had to sell my gutair I had in High-school cause I was broke. Last week I randomly found a guy selling it on Facebook. It's back home <3.

Striking coincidence: the actors leaving this iconic scene from The Godfather Part II passed away in the same order. Fredo: John Cazale (1978) Sonny: James Caan (2022) Tom: Robert Duvall (2026) Michael: Al Pacino, still alive.

During the wedding scene of The Godfather (1972), an elderly man takes the microphone and begins to sing a traditional Neapolitan song. This is Gennaro Amato, a renowned Neapolitan comic performer who was one of the great figures of Italian-American stage and recording culture in early 20th-century New York.⁣ ⁣ The piece he performs is “C’è la luna mezzo mare” or “There’s a Moon in the Middle of the Sea”, a classic Sicilian wedding song. The song is full of meanings and humor. It’s an old folk tune about a mother and daughter discussing possible suitors.⁣ ⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢, 𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘢, 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥,⁣ 𝘔𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰?

@CultureCrave There a director I respected who I’ll never watch another movie from.

First trailer for Darren Aranofsky's new AI animated series 'On This Day... 1776' • Tells short narrative stories about the Revolutionary War • Uses Gen AI tools, including tech made by Google DeepMind • Has SAG voice actors

@samriegel I wanted to see the terrified bandits at least once this season.

What a joy it’s been sharing season 1 with you all! Now go watch the whole damn season!

@TychoBrahe What an absolutely fantastic achievement. You’ve now been doing this longer than Jim Davis had been doing Garfield when you started.

Twenty-seven years of this shit, somehow. penny-arcade.com/comic/2025/11/…

@Goldrushcomic He’s godly man if he’s the god. Religion isn’t the problem, wilful and celebrated ignorance and stupidity is. The USA has always been anti intellectual. You even spend time celebrating a dubass with Columbus Day for things he didn’t do.

Religion you see....is bad.

@Acyn Trump?

Hannity: Pritzker, Newsom, predictably claiming this is a conservative censorship. That is a false. I can't find a single prominent conservative voice in the country that even remotely wanted or was pushing to get Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air.

@Goldrushcomic Judas?! Sounds right.

@CalltoActivism They are that stupid

🚨BREAKING: Trump was just asked about the Epstein book: "It's not my signature, and it's not the way I speak. And anybody that's covered me for a long time know that's not my language. It's nonsense." It’s so obvious he’s lying. Does he think his supporters are that stupid?

@Goldrushcomic Did he play your song?

Got to see Neil Young last night. <3

@ShawnBaichoo You’d join the Justice League to get Darkseid’s autograph.

@ShawnBaichoo For a good guy you sure love the villains.

I’ve always been partial to Soundwave myself 🤓

@pvponline My son is in love with Krypto

I loved the new Superman movie.

@Criterion @criterionchannl Not in Canada :(

Now playing in our Miami Neonoir collection on @criterionchannl! criterionchannel.com/miami-neonoir

Evening viewing recommendation? On @criterionchannl, kick off July with Michael Mann's MIAMI VICE (2006)! criterionchannel.com/miami-neonoir Packed with woozy poetry and visual pyrotechnics, Mann’s big-screen adaptation of the 1980s television show that established his reputation is one of the most formally daring films released by a major studio this century.

@MysterySolvents She’s downwind of her husband

What does it mean when Melania makes this face?

@Picarat Saga is the series that kept the direct market afloat for ages and has been a top tier series for ages. Drive blew me away with how intricate it was designed within the first 70 pages, the races the cultures are each distinct and wonderfully deep.

@jaydici Neither will withstand the test of time, 60 years from now they will not be on anyones top 100 lists.

@Picarat Saga is a Shakespearean oddessy larger than his histories, a masterclass of cliffhangers that don’t relent or letdown. It twists and turns, while remaining a story about parenthood and growing up.

@Picarat Yep, and they’re better than Dune. Drive is a complex and masterfully orchestrated space opera with large expansive strokes covering empires, while also bringing us in close to the players and their plights, while still letting itself be funny and true to the comic strip origins.
