Sinners (2025)

KPOP DEMON HUNTERS picked up Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. WEAPONS picked up Best Supporting Actress. I didn't watch the telecast, but I saw the opening skit on YouTube that spoofed WEAPONS and it was fantastic! Hooray for horror! (2/2)

Horror had a good night at the Oscars last night! SINNERS picked up Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Cinematography. FRANKENSTEIN picked up Best Production Design, Best Make-Up and Hairstyling, and Best Costume Design. (1/2)

• Dave takes us to the center of the galaxy to explore a bizarre realm of ionized gas and dark matter. At the middle of it all sits Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole 4,000,000 times more massive than the Sun. Listen to it wherever you enjoy podcasts or at www.spookysciencelab.com! (2/2)

New episode!

The Master Magnolia Boogie Nights One Battle after Another Oh, I guess I’ve only seen four of them.

Watching Jesse Buckley’s pure, starstruck excitement at getting the Oscar was a trip after watching The Bride! less than a week ago. What a talent.

Sinners should have won. I was one of those people Coogler called out who saw it multiple times (my partner saw it five times) and it got better each time. If I never see OBAA again I’ll be just fine.

we're doing a good job checking off boxes on the catastrophe list, but we're really falling short in the area of radioactive seamonst --

Happy pi day to all who circlebrate!

Nice try, JD, but you’re never going to be president. You bought in on the rest of it, you own this madness, too.

I would like to congratulate Grammarly’s lawyers for belatedly realizing their shitty AI product was gonna get them class-action yeeted into the sun. I would also like to encourage Grammerly to eat shit forever and ever amen.

And I speak of spiritual suffering! Of people seeing their talent, their work, their lives wasted. Of good minds submitting to stupid ones. Of strength and courage strangled by envy, greed for power, fear of change.

I have not always been the best with money but relax, this bottle of wine wearing a cape cost UNDER $18

If you put waterfalls in your game and there are no caves behind any of them, your game is instantly worse than it could have been I don't make the rules

the "which do you like better, these three sentences from AI or from a classic" reminds me of the Pepsi Challenge. People genuinely did prefer Pepsi for one sip, because it's sweeter. But they strongly strongly prefer Coke overall, because no one wants sickly sweet for an entire bottle

I accidentally sprang back this weekend and now I’m unmoored from time

Here you go, everyone can use this one (it's signed by an authority)

• Dave updates us on the search for extraterrestrial life. With the discovery of distant worlds that have liquid water, exobiologists believe there's more of a chance than ever that life may exist elsewhere in the universe. Listen wherever you enjoy podcasts or at www.spookysciencelab.com! (2/2)

Spooky Science Lab is back!

Listeners might recall Nick's story in episode 16 (s2e4) in which a young Australian man fell into a coma and eventually died after eating a slug on a dare--a slug he didn't know was infected with the parasitic rat lungworm. (1/2)

The worms are coming for us!

Now that’s scholarship.

One thing that gives me hope: Gulf War I: kids put American flags in dorm room windows, listened to Toby Keith on repeat Gulf War II: Adults I knew talked about enlisting so they could “go kill terrorists.” Gulf War III: I have yet to meet a single real person who thinks this is a good idea.

Kristi Noem will return in Avengers: Doomsday

I had no idea that was what dice towers were for! I thought they just looked cool!

Weird synchronicity on my timeline… maybe I should stay home today

I think the funniest part of this for me is that Amazon itself is represented as a glowing sun studded with bleeding eyes like a biblically accurate angel

Tired: Misperceiving the shadows in Plato's cave as reality. Wired: Betting on the shadows in Plato's cave.

Jesus, just had to do 2 captchas in a row to log into an account, but it took me 12 tries because the stupid clanker couldn’t tell the difference between a street lamp and a hat. I am so tired of dumb computers replacing the smart ones we already had!

Gotta love how academic books don't earn you money, but LLMs can make money off of stealing them in the aggregate and if you write enough, they can also profit from stealing your personality after you are dead.

If you know someone who is really great at running an RPG, you have got to hold on to them, you know? Carpe DM, friends!

"Secrets Behind the Comics" by Stan Lee.

My entire adult life

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically. Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

I see so many people calling for an “explanation” for this war. Like there were some magic words he could say that would make it all better. He’s bombing schools. For fun? For oil? 🤷🏻‍♂️ He’s killing people. The words don’t fucking matter. He got away with Venezuela and now he’ll get away with this.

just imagined a sad frankenstein and a sad dracula. maybe they are crying over the wolfman's grave. i didn't imagine that far yet

I’m looking for a hotel room for an upcoming trip. I’m was glad to see that this room included “hangers” but confused by the symbol they used. Q: What do you hang on a hanger that looks like, um, the generic AI logo?

The more I hear about inverse proportion, the less I like it.

It’s hard not to think that the dems are more afraid of their constituents then they are of the deplorables

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

They can’t govern without a group to oppress. They are nothing but bullies. Their popularity is slipping and innocent people like my sister’s kid suffer. I fucking hate these people. I think hatred is beneath a thinking human being. I fucking hate these people.

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.
