In tech for 40 years, I had to listen to the precursor of this at every company that opened an APAC office: "Singapore is society Done Right"

As we watch the right set off the pyrotechnics at his "memorial," rush to make him a faux Christian martyr and rabidly engage is other, ahem, strange "observances," that really is very clear that it's not the left who's celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.

He's trying to kick black men out of the military. He wants an all-white military.

The entire Russian crew is weirdly deferential, while being subtly unfriendly because of a proxy war in Honduras. The Russians aren't fully realized characters.

Viewing 2010 as an adult, who's had education in narrative is different. The Americans are guests on the Russian ship, but they have this weird presumption. Floyd trains physically, but learns no Russian. There's a countdown...in English. Curnow does ops he could not have been trained on.

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Oh Eddie, I love you for calling them detention centers. Well done. #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

His realization that the sick girl saved him is so well done. Best scene in the movie so far. I'm going to bet that gun's going in the river. #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

Brueckner is a Stiva Oblonsky minus the charm. #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

The scene transition are as abrupt as a drunk blackout.That may be the point. #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

It's nice to be nice to the nice #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

It looks like emergency tracheotomy time! I wonder if this film started the trope? First time I saw it was mid-70's on TV in MASH #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

This reminded me of Andy Warhol's Empire #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

"Rats...Rats everywhere...The city is coming to life again." #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

oh damn Chekhov's Gun #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

Wait... is that walk and confession of love an hallucination? #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

Keep an eye out for German Gloria Ghahame! #TheMurderersAreAmongUs #NoirAlley #TCMParty #DarknessAtNoon

this is my new favorite thing

we have just discovered the great british sewing bee that is all

I wonder if they'll ever recognize caution tape

Getting into W country en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_...

When you have a female protagonist who doesn't get married, you have to end a movie with the death of a spinster in the children's ward. Those are the rules. #TheGirlInWhite #TCMParty

The portrayal of Yeodi and Emily's relationship has some depth to it. You know Mildred Dunnock is putting a lot of experience mentoring younger women into Yeodi. #TheGirlInWhite #TCMParty

They really need to have an Emily Dunning (as a kid) cameo in #TheGildedAge #TCMParty #TheGirlInWhite

oh that's a spectacularly bad practical effect for flourescing. #TheGirlInWhite #TCMParty

The opening scene of #TheGirlInWhite demonstrates why representation is important. Emily never sees a woman doctor until this moment. #TCMParty

If I were 30 years older, I would have had such a crush on June Allyson. That cute little lisp. #TCMParty

By coincidence, #BattleCircus is on #TCMParty at 4PM ET today. It's a weird mashup (see what I did) that shows the transition to more realistic war movies in the 50's and 60's while still being pro-military. Strange men writing women vibes, too, despite one woman (Laura Kerr) credited for story.

my fridge so smart it's got a target demo www.androidauthority.com/samsung-conf...

The findings “suggest that medical AI tools powered by LLMs have a tendency to not reflect the severity of symptoms among female patients, while also displaying less ‘empathy’ towards Black and Asian ones.”

I wonder if this #B52Bomber is still in service? #TCMParty

After creating character lists for Les Mis, thinking about randomly changing the spelling of my name just to fuck with people.

Talked to the contractor overseeing the renovation of Western Toy Manufacturing/ Kiser Studios on SE Milwaukie today. They wall is for testing for earthquake reinforcement; the plsn is to keep it the same & upgrade. Two retail locations, two apartments.

Because I could not stop for Death He left a bad review, So I got fired from Uber Now I'm at Deliveroo

Hugo in Les Mis pissed me off so much by saying that Napoleon "embarrassed" God by being so arrogant, which is why God cut him down to size, I prompted using the old National Lampoon "God is Money" comic where God crucifies Jesus because he stops loving money & goes nice: Who embarrassed God more?

#BattleCircus is an underrated movie. Reviewers complained of no plot, missing the point. Bogie's character, after getting chewed out for being drunk when on call: "It's an unusual generation we're living in, three world wars in one lifetime. Maybe whiskey is as much a part of our life as war."

So it looks like  Pages has been responsible for the weird crashes of my 2019, last-Intel-model Macbook Pro. Switched to LibreOffice (thanks, @colinmeows.bsky.social, for the rec) and not a single problem all week. Was crashing twice/day, waking up, with a logged "firehose" error in windowserver.

“The surprising inflation-proof industry thriving in trump’s tariff economy.”

this cat looks like one of the Old Master painters who's just slept with three servants, argued viciously with his annoying patron about the inferior ham he receives, and then painted his masterpiece out of spite

TIL about the Humphrey Bogart movie "Battle Circus", which was M*A*S*H 15 years before Hooker's book and 17 years before Altman's movie, even down to the black humor. Now, I've got to see this. Thanks for #BacallOnBogart, #TCMParty.

Hope this is just to restore the brick.

explain this with your "science"

A mutual of mine has said that men have gotten away with pretending women are the emotional ones because they have successfully branded anger as Not An Emotion

it's me I'm mutual

What we're starting to see here is what I predicted would happen: As Waymo tries to become profitable, you'll see cutbacks in training their models that will result in regressions. Waymos "fixed" problems recognizing safety vehicles. Now they're occurring again. Testing costs outpace revenue.

I do not understand how Padraig is staying alive on Traitors Ireland

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

LOL on the next page #AK2025 💃🚂
