Glad I got to see this in person when I was in Madrid.

I’ll be sad when AI isn’t this dumb.
You have a lovely face. Can I put it on an air freshener? I want to keep your smell close to me always.
You must be a tringle? Cause you’re the only thing here.

Really interesting and insightful. Good reference for ad budgets. The limits can help creativity
Unendurable line
It expresses how things change from A to B when a parameter exceeds a certain value.
The theme is various thresholds hidden in everyday life.
David Fincher’s Impossible Eye
Another close friend is the filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, who told me about visiting Fincher during postproduction on his 2002 thriller, “Panic Room.” Soderbergh described the scene this way: “David had a laser pointer out, and he was circling this one section of a wall in the upper part of the frame, saying, ‘That’s a quarter of a stop too bright.’ I had to leave the room. I had to go outside and take some deep breaths, because I thought, Oh, my God — to see like that? All the time? Everywhere? I wouldn’t be able to do it.”
Copying is the way design works
Good article on the idea of copying in creativity. Especially the bit about Van Gogh copying Japanese artists.
Green Jackets
With the exception of the reigning champion’s blazer, which can go home with a winner until he returns it for safekeeping the next year, no jackets are permitted to leave the club’s grounds, at least according to Augusta National’s lore.
That has cultivated a widespread belief that almost all of those tailored symbols of golf history — presented annually to winners since 1949 and so renowned that a club official once publicly compared their status to the Statue of Liberty — are confined to several hundred cloistered acres of east Georgia.
I first learned about green jackets in golf from Happy Gilmore. But traditions like these always interest to me.
