In a post-scarcity economy, what commodity would most likely remain scarce?

This is looking more and more eldritch...

There's something about Jordan Peele's NOPE that makes it have such a high rewatch value.

I remember reading a Robert Ludlum book and seeing the word "xerox" and not finding it in the dictionary. I wasn't on the internet then.

After the protagonist is spent and out of ammo, fighting minions, he may now go toe-to-toe with the antagonist who is well rested. Sometimes, the protagonist is afforded a sword or a gun with a single bullet.

"When will people respect my personal space and stop screaming into me?" —The Void

@profanity.accountant have I been good?

These game developers sure can be saucy.

I believe Shrek 2 is one of the best sequels ever done.

As an agent in Splinter Cell Conviction(2002), I wouldn't have been successful on most of my missions if those places had good lighting and also good communication protocols, i.e letting security stationed at Wing B know that they are engaging a hostile at Wing A and they shouldn't be watching TV.

Every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough.

The year is 2004. Wesley Snipes stars as Blade alongside Ryan Reynolds. Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez split up. Israel & Gaza are at war. The year is 2024. Wesley Snipes stars as Blade alongside Ryan Reynolds. Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez split up. Israel & Gaza are at war.

I hope we all realise that when you share stuff, there is no middle ground where everyone likes what you do, how you do it or who you are. There is no venn diagram that contains a subset of what everyone would like. There's nothing you can do about this and that is just as well.

I really want to be a part of the decision making process for the book covers of the books I will write so I can show the artist these covers so they know what I'm all about.

One Leg Unearth One Leg Onearth One Leg On Earth 'Pemi Aguda is back!

I'm reading books not on my TBR and I'm not feeling bad about it because I noticed that sticking religiously to my reading list creates a slump.

WILDWOODS is stop motion??? It looks so smooth!

"Although I write science fiction, I am primarily in the business of predicting the future." —Jerry Pournelle. Awesome quote if you ignore the next sentence where he backtracks.

I had this dream that Pluto got obliterated and was actually a sort of clutter of an astroid belt from the very start.

These 007 tracks!

A favorite character type of mine are blind characters who don't act like they are blind.

Hyottoko mask or great helm?

I need a spiderman 2 second act moment in my life.

I don't believe in the connection between Robert Pattinson in Twilight and the use of "we live in a twilight world" from Tenet.

On the Nature of Daylight is not a score that's exclusively for sad scenes o.

Shrek coming in between was a palate cleanser.

But is it really gatekeeping if the restaurant actually blew up after I stepped out of it?

Inky, Blinky, Pinky & Hyde.

Yesterday I watched a film and soon after found myself pouring my thoughts on it into a notebook. I rewrote it a few times in my laptop until it became the film review that it now is. Behind The Scenes, directed by Funke Akindele & Tunde Olaoye, as reviewed by me, is linked in comments:

One of the greatest sins in Nollywood films is on-the-nose-dialogue. (Yes, I watched a Nigerian film again).

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Somebody saw the Long Walk(2025) film and decided to warn us all not to let Mr. Beast see it.

I mean, if Sir Isaac Newton didn't have homework, would we even have gravity?

Seeing Carol (from Pluribus) hold a copy of The Left Hand of Darkness made me pissed off (for the umpteenth time) at the atrocious distribution system and unavailability of notable literature in Nigeria.

Manousos Oviedo is the dumbest of the 13.

After trimming the toenails, it feels like the feet received an update.

Three episodes watched. Not bad.

E pluribus unum, or "out of many, one", struck me as a chosen one thing, and not the unity of many people thing.

Does it really work like that in real life, generally, where someone vomits after seeing or hearing something that makes them deeply uncomfortable? I see it a lot in Hollywood films and can't help but roll my eyes. Aren't there other (better) ways to signal discomfort?

Just started Pluribus.

See, right now I just need enough money to buy books, buy food, pay my bills, and gift my girlfriend. Is that too much to ask? For a job that can help with even half of these?

Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd (what a long title, del rey!). I thought it was blood, until I listened to the song for the first time and yeah, it's boulevard.

I don't believe in that 27% RT score on the MJ biopic.

It's interesting to me that I taught myself how to spell Schwarzenegger when I was a child reading from the disk jacket Arnold's full name, as well as his film collections printed on the other side of the jacket. I did not and do not like to pronounce words I cannot spell.

No female Michael Angelos, no female Jack the Rippers.

The bittersweet taste of identifying as a country that celebrates independence.

I'm struggling a bit to finish Memories of Murder.

It's annoying when you're watching a monster movie and the monster doesn't eat what it kills. Rather wasteful (sounds morbid, I know).
