I mocked Superman trailer. (In a hindsight, I was a little bit of ass myself and I also loved the movie, lol)

From my “Dish it out, can’t take it” folder: Always funny to learn how some genuinely interesting people here, who also come across as brash and a little bit of dicks, are also incredibly petty and have paper-thin skin.

I’m blessed that I can run in nature: Sometimes, a V-shaped flock of birds would pass over my head in twilight… just a profound experience of the beauty of the world.

If you told me that investing my life savings into computer-generated, badly drawn pictures of apes is not “the greatest investment strategy of all time”, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Pluribus is - besides being well written and executed - also amazingly well made, just great photography. There’s an absolutely sublime shot in the last episode: Carole being in the background, and the cabin of the red helicopter in the front. I was completely floored how well it looked.

I’ve been unironically thinking for the past two days, “Hey, no disrespect to Paul, but that’s the weirdest Xmas song I’ve ever heard” Vindicated!!!

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one! More ... 👇

I watched this like 50 times. I feel my mind is broken now

There are no “slow” movies, or movies in which “nothing happens”. If you think a movie is too slow, maybe you need more patience, or just you’re not present. If you’re complaining how nothing is happening in a movie, maybe you’re not looking hard enough.

Why do all my IOS icons look weird and washed out now? (Yes, I’m 100 years old)

See I, the trillionaire, could probably do the same thing, if I’m not busy pondering the existential questions such as Roko’s Basilisk, or AI generating anime with large tits.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

“And the real magic of Christmas, Timmy”, the elf continued, “is that you can change Christmas standards however you want, no rules! You want to switch major key with a minor to make it sounds like a dirge, or make it into bossanova - or change notes completely? You bet you can! Go to town!”

Pluribus stays undefeated. A pure joy to watch, really surprised there a so good shows nowadays It’s actually amazing that it took Carol, the main character and a successful “romantasy” writer, so long to actually start writing again.

Just watched the Ep1 from the “Fallout”Season 2 and I really enjoyed the reference to the hanging scene from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” Some nice moviemaking right there

incredible quote lol

There’s a bit of handwaving in this article: Yes, the fungus does seem to feed on the radiation, but that doesn’t mean the radiation is gone (‘eaten’) : the half-life physics formula still applies, and the cesium, strontium and plutonium- will still be there, virtually forever, mold or not.

Loved “Frankenstein”! Give me Victorian era, the Creator vs. Creation clash, and Victorian ladies being laid to an eternal rest on a slab of marble. Give me Alexandre Desplat’s score! Well, who *is* the monster after all, you may be asking yourself, the sophisticated movie enjoyer.

“Bioshock”, by Chris Nolan

Sometimes I see comments about “performatively” hating (or liking) a movie and that’s always a funny concept to me. What, you like a movie that much, that you cannot even begin to comprehend that someone else might genuinely not like it? That’s a difficult thing to fathom, to you?

PSA: Somehow I missed it, but the Gmail feature “Consent to Primae Noctis” is now under Settings -> Advanced -> Privacy, turned on by default. You definitely want to turn it off

Lol, fuck off (And yes, it’s a good idea)

Lol, I enjoyed the movie, but the “They’re just friends - until they aren’t” is a tricky line to walk/ play in a movie. In this one, an innocent bystander irl would probably comment with either “Hey, get a room, you two” or “Wait, are those 2 f*king??” Again, an enjoyable movie, good chemistry

Awesome
