A movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif.

Aaaand… the Christmas barrage has begun. I am NOT in the mood.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

So, the @slateauto.bsky.social looks interesting. I even paid a $50 (refundable) deposit on one. I am concerned that the price in articles keeps going up, and up. First $20k, then on launch day, everyone was saying $25k, and now I’m seeing $28k. Is it going to be $40k when finally available?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)
