It only took three ghosts to convince Scrooge to share his wealth so surely 4,500 dead Americans will convince billionaires like @JeffBezos to chip in more than .1 percent, right?

Help With COVID-19

posted March 31, 2020 #

The Help with COVID site is a repository of projects aimed at providing relief in one way or another in response to the COVID pandemic.

Projects like Gift Card Bank for donating unused Gift Cards to those in need or HelpLocalBiz for aggregating payments to local businesses are just a few examples of the kind of community organization and outreach being indexed over there.

There is a LOT to sort through but if you've got the time and resources, consider helping out. If you aren't much of a developer, maybe just consider donating where you can. All told, some serious positive vibes coming off this site.

SXSW Shorts 2020

posted March 30, 2020 #

Of course it's unfortunate that SXSW was cancelled for 2020 out of safety for the curbing of the COVID-19 pandemic but there is a mild silver lining in that occurence. Mailchimp and Oscilloscope Laboratories have teamed up to screen all the SXSW 2020 Shorts - for free.

I've always been a fan of any shorts program. I think the format gives a lot of flexibility on style, gives new fillmmakers a chance to flex a bit and pushes creative folks to tell a story in a condensed amount of time. I've never been able to watch the SXSW Shorts before, so this is a great opportunity for them to reach a wider audience.

There's not much to go on from the site - just a title, a director, a genre and a screen grab. If you're looking for a synopsis, you're out of luck. I suggest just hitting Shuffle and letting it ride.

Werner Herzog Has Never Thought A Dog Was Cute

posted March 30, 2020 #

There's something oddly refreshing about the attitude and insights of Werner Herzog during a global pandemic. This NY Times Magazine interview poses many great questions to the director but this little excerpt is my personal favorite:
Your narration, in “Grizzly Man” for example, is famous for your descriptions of nature as impersonal and savage.
The monumental indifference.

How do you derive meaning from life if life is indifferent?
Life is not indifferent. The universe is indifferent. But just trying, itself, is something I should do.
There's plenty more worth reading - particularly the anecdote about rescuing Joaquin Phoenix from a car wreck - but that bit stuck out the most to me.

Speaking of breaks in the clouds, did you read this history of the Triscuit name thread? It's wild and Triscuit confirmed the origin! Fantastic.

Here's some more distractions. Hope you're staying healthy.

My daughter did this tonight and my wife was not amused. You know who was very amused? Me. I feel like this smoking toilet character could carry a movie. https://t.co/nNP284sRLy
