This entire playground at my son’s school was purchased and installed when Elon Musk donated $30,000,000.00 to Brownsville and local schools.
Everyday when I come pick up my son from school, I see kids playing on it and I always hope Elon is having a good day wherever he is.
Before this, the only option they had for playtime was to run around on the asphalt.

If you think Luke Bryan is a tremendous singer, you’d be dead on! If you think he’s an exceptional bass fisherman, you’d get a thumbs up there too! But one thing you might not know is Luke is one of the finest hosts that you could ever ask for. Our trip with @IAmSteveHarvey, Johnny Morris and @Kevin_VanDam was absolutely an experience all of us will never forget. The great food, the fellowship and wonderful bass fishing made these two days something special. Thanks Luke, for making it happen! We gotta do it again! Bill

And the train was full of all of her friends and family 😭😭😭😭
A proposal in Dallas is drawing attention after a man turned what appeared to be a casual night out into a fully coordinated moment, leading his partner onto a passing trolley that had been arranged in advance.
Inside, the space was filled with her friends and family, creating an intimate setting that reframed the moment as something far more deliberate than it first appeared.
He then got down on one knee inside the trolley as she realized what was happening, her reaction unfolding in front of the people closest to her as the moment became about more than the question itself shaped by the presence of those who have been part of their story all along.

I’m currently on the couch reading this and praying you find this kind of happiness one day
A lowkey weekend is true wealth

How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@anishmoonka Just watched it. Very good movie. Like movies used to be.

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real.
The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later.
Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him.
Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman.
Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact.
95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

@thebear010 @patrickjkoenig Quite possible. But is your Neil an “old” English lad?

Today I played a $40 golf course as a single and got paired with 3 random golfers. Had a blast. I love doing this and can’t recommend it enough.
Ted: Senior Designer on World of Warcraft —-> early retirement.
Rob: Drank a large Modelo that wiped him out. Currently getting “screwed over by several contractors.”
Neil: Jolly old English lad. 14 months sober.

@saxtonian @patrickjkoenig I’m a little more intrigued by Ted actually. Early retiree senior designer of World of Warcraft? I respect his desire to play a $40 golf course with strangers while rocking AirPods. What’s he listening to?

@BobLSwagger2 @patrickjkoenig Has to be L to R, I would put money on it

@saxtonian @patrickjkoenig I’m starting to thing Rob had a few before the giant Modelo and only realized his mistake afterwards.

@BobLSwagger2 @patrickjkoenig He does, I bet Rob getting lit off one large Modelo made him mad too
