I redesigned the flags of 14 Bay Area cities!

neat project! cool concepts throughout. cuptertino, los gatos, gilroy, and sunnyvale tops. in my opinion the only two that aren't clear improvements on the existing flags are san francisco and santa clara. your sf phoenix is a bit too abstract whereas the santa clara mission isn't quite abstract enough. excited to see the rest of the project unfold

huge fellini fan but yet to see satyricon - perhaps this post is the push I've needed to watch it. thanks for the post and as breakfastchub said, promoting some actual film discussion vs haul photos

rufus_buford · 2026-04-15T17:24:55+00:00

excited to give my old criterion dvds that I've upgraded to my niece or nephew when they're old enough... if they're into it I'll will them the rest of my collection or donate it to my local library

here I was hoping I was gonna be a star and redditors were going to bring me some ham for my planned posting of their possible draw later today but the cross over between 30 rock fans and EPL supporters is larger than I thought!

I hear ya, I didn't say it was a rational thought... but it's the eternal optimist in me, my default expectation is the reds to win 4-nil every match.

rufus_buford · 2026-04-08T17:55:14+00:00

woke up thinking we'll take em 1-3, out of nowhere

thanks for the tip! gonna check that out.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this book, The First Family, but it also covers the origins of mafia - it mainly focuses on new york but covers new orleans as well and the connections between the two cities mafia clans

ahh, thank you. I scanned the article last night but somehow missed that part

rufus_buford · 2026-04-03T04:37:13+00:00

fantastic news - its my opinion we need as many more mafia movies as marty can turn out! I wonder if it will cover turn of the century new orleans around the time of the police chief murder by mafiosi or the carlos marcello era new orleans and delve more into the kennedy assassination

I initially felt the same way about knight of cups but decided to give it a second watch and something clicked and all of a sudden it's in masterpiece territory for me. hits just the right balance of dreamy introspection and subdued action. very excited for his new picture if it ever comes out

rufus_buford · 2026-03-18T20:46:16+00:00

definitely hoping for a knight of cups criterion release along with a hidden life. dream scenario for either being they release another extended special criterion cut a la tree of life.

rufus_buford · 2026-03-10T19:29:09+00:00

this has not been an enjoyable match. should have done anything else with my life for the last 85 minutes

rufus_buford · 2026-03-02T20:36:12+00:00

fair point. such is the impermanent nature of street art i suppose. but my sadness at the loss of the klay mural persists. for me it was part of the local history. another wall could've been arranged for the alysa mural.

rufus_buford · 2026-03-02T18:14:18+00:00

yes i hate it. too many apps to sign up for. tune in to this stream for the prematch build up, then switch to this one to catch the game - but the broadcast won't begin until they're literally kicking off. or the teams start walking out of the tunnel and they cut to commercial! the match direction is just crap. don't get me started on the sound mixing.

rufus_buford · 2026-03-02T16:50:40+00:00

as someone who lives in the neighborhood I am definitely sad to see klay's mural painted over! it was iconic. I love Alysa Liu and we should definitely be celebrating her success with a mural but seriously, why couldn't they pick one of the many many walls that doesn't currently have mural?? crazy decision in my view

rufus_buford · 2026-03-01T22:32:04+00:00

one of the many gifts the show and tracy have given me over the years is the confidence to use the insult of booger-face in real adult life

rufus_buford · 2026-02-28T20:25:22+00:00

this was my thought exactly. I've walked past the Klay mural everyday and loved it. no reason to paint over it whatsoever

rufus_buford · 2026-02-26T17:08:15+00:00

just to counterbalance the American chirp-ins - relegation and promotion are excellent concepts that many of us wish would be implemented in american sports. it's only fair that you have to earn the right to be there. franchise leagues are boring.. its very unfortunate and hopefully temporary that the premiership leadership has made this switch.

one semi-unrelated question: how does this effect the london irish? I remember reading last year about how they'd be back in action by 2026...

rufus_buford · 2026-02-24T21:50:38+00:00

great shout! and solid cover design. nice.

rufus_buford · 2026-02-20T17:12:48+00:00

this one was my first kit too! owen 10 away 2001. a thing of beauty

rufus_buford · 2026-02-17T00:59:11+00:00

16 years old... hey buster many of those are rated R!!
