The Detective Pikachu movie trailer has people going crazy for bringing Pokemon into live-action setting. It's a weird choice for a Pokemon film and even stranger that Ryan Reynolds is voicing the cute electric yellow mouse.
Back in 2016, the internet thought it would be great if Detective Pikachu had the voice of Danny DeVito for the video game. I attended a Paly Center event for It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia around that time and I asked DeVito if he would be voicing the pocket monster.
Listen to the audio below for Danny DeVito's reaction.
Confused he asked, "What the f*ck is Pokemon?" The audience and myself then laughed like crazy.

They're Launching A 24-karat Gold Canopic Jar Into Space
 |
| canopic jar going into space |
This is gonna take a sec to explain, so relax and read. Titled "Enoch", the canopic jar comes from artist Tavares Strachan in memory of the first African American astronaut, Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., selected for our national space program. From what we read, he never actually made it into space, but was very helpful to getting us there.
The canopic jar has a bust of Robert Henry Lawrence Jr. on it and for some reason the artist had it blessed at Japanese Shinto Shrine. To clarify, it does not contain any of Robert Henry Lawrence Jr. organs.
It was funded by the LACMA Art + Technology Lab grant, so taxpayer money probably didn't pay for it. It is suppose to be launched Monday, Nov 19 as one of the items going up on a Space X rocket. If all goes to plan it will circle the Earth for seven years. Weird.

Matt Kaufenberg really needs to make more Metroid’s Samus Paper Dolls, perfect for propping on ones desk. Sadly, it seems that Matt made them only for the Dames Art Show back a month.
Let's hope he makes more and chooses some other kick-ass girls from gaming.

This winter, Materials & Applications invites you to an
experiment in social steaming. Designed and built by the artist Michael Parker,
Steam Egg is a public sculpture and fully-functional steam room that is
mirrored on the outside and mortared on the inside. Guests are invited to climb
up and into this ovoidal-shaped steam room and immerse themselves in a hot,
intimate setting with friends* and strangers. The heated vapors are infused
with specially devised scents selected by our Herb-J (kinda like a DJ but for
olfaction). We recommend two or three short rounds of steaming. Live music by
holloys** will complete your full sensory experience**.
