Adam Sandler should play Ebenezer Scrooge

I think this guy might be an idiot

Trading Places is a great "New York movie." Also, why does it just *look* so good? Is it the specific film it was shot on? Color grading? Visually it's just a really pretty movie.

I just want to draw people's attention to the Henry Mancini Christmas record who may not be familiar with it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Merry_Mancini_Christmas

Replying to a post to change the subject and make it about *your* pet concern is the most Mastodon thing.

Whose idea was it to paint these wooden benches black? Saw this at Harvard, too. A big downgrade if you ask me. #boston #cambridgema #mbta @universalhub

Hinge Wrapped: Enjoy this slideshow of everybody who ghosted you this year!

I need to find a light terminal/#Vim colorscheme. Any suggestions?

I have nothing against hunky mainstream actors. I love Ryan and Brad and Leo for instance. But George Clooney is just terrible in everything.

#virtualboy #nintendoswitch accessory is now available for pre-order

I forget, why can't I see who the followers are of a person who isn't on my Mastodon instance? Why doesn't my instance fetch that information, or why doesn't theirs make it available?

Kovid Goyal, #calibre developer, on the inclusion of AI: > It's not going to be scrapped, so good bye, I guess. You are more than welcome to not use AI if you don't want to. calibre very nicely makes that easy for you by having it off by default to the extent that the AI code is not even loaded […]

One of the many reasons Netflix buying Warner Bros is bad is that *Netflix hates movies.*

I want to watch more movies where people are in a carriage at night being lit by a swinging oil lamp, maybe a top hat is involved, stuff like that rules

I occasionally have a hard time remembering who a character was by their name alone in novels. It never occurred to me until recently to just circle a name with a pencil when it first appears.

Are there any talented #pixelart ists out there who also have a passing interest in #astrology?

There's a small "pro wrestling" league in Chicago called "Superwrestlers," and they have a grunge wrestler named... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_ebxQJJJS0

I will root for the Patriots once Robert Kraft doesn't own them

For the life of me, I just...I can't figure out masks in making vector art. I just slam away at it until it does what I want.

It's been ten years without a new Joanna Newsom record, what the hell

I remember *actively trying* to enjoy LCD Soundsystem in 2005, and failing. How did people get tricked into liking this guy?

Mastodon finally getting some of the features that it desperately needed when it had one chance at mass adoption in 2022

I would hate computers if I didn't love them so much

Luigi's Mansion 3 looks like it's gonna be on sale again this holiday season, and I cannot recommend it enough. #nintendo #switch #nintendoswitch

There's a lot of talk of treating LLM-written code as code written by a junior developer, but it's almost more like code written by an extremely stoned senior developer.

It would have taken a human, like, five minutes to come up with this, and that would have been cute. But I’m too cynical not to be one hundred percent certain this was written by AI.

Media Log: Bugonia (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2025) ★★★★ Watched: Nov 7, 2025 Emma Stone is a genius and a generational talent. #nowwatching #movies #medialog

DuckDuckGo now uses "DuckSansProduct" as its body font; a search for "DuckSansProduct" on DDG returns zero results. #duckduckgo #typography #webdesign

I never hear anybody talking about how great The Sundays are

Some encoding errors on this Slowdive record on Apple Music. Æ in place of apostrophes.

One of the reasons LLM code generators won't replace devs soon is that so much of being a developer is doing stuff OTHER than writing code.

Iggy Pop is on this Anna von Hausswolff record??

Media Log: Mandy (Panos Cosmatos, 2018) ★★★★ Watched: Oct 29, 2025 Still jaw-dropping. For the record, Mandy is not a horror movie. #nowwatching #movies #medialog

Wait a sec I figured out where del Toro has been getting his movie ideas

I got halfway through "The Ritual" (2017) last night, and maybe I'm just too cynical, but it is so by-the-numbers that I just find it completely unnecessary and uninspired.

This is great news! Now that Apple has so much money, they can stop putting ads in all their apps. https://mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/115452392367673829

A while back Apple and Google changed their "gun" emoji to a water gun image, but it might have been way cooler if they had used a 50s-sci-fi-style ray gun? That way it's still "lethal" but just fictional.

First Netflix DVD, now TiVo. When people read this headline, they will probably be more shocked to learn that #tivo was even making new hardware in the 2020s. I've been a TiVo owner for four years now, and I've loved it so much. I knew this was coming, but it's still heartbreaking […]

Am I right about this, the Jim Carrey Andy Kaufman biopic was called "Man on the Moon" because there was an REM song by that name that mentions Andy Kaufman? Like, if REM had not written that song, the movie would have had a different title -- or, come to think of it, might never have been made? […]
