btw I keep doing dumb prompt things because Bluesky needs more eccentric thought content compared to politics slop

It’s probably just Jimmy Stewart. You get films from: -Hitchcock -Capra -Ford -Preminger -Cukor -Lubistch -Mann -Borzage -Stevens -Daves Plus at least a couple dozen programmers to watch on top of it. Maybe loses points for no Hawks.

Reminded of when the bees take Homer’s sugar pile and they attack him and he screams “ahhhh they’re defending themselves somehow!”

[me watching LUDWIG, a film where a mad king who entirely ignores politics beyond getting into unwanted wars while spending taxpayer money to build gaudy architectural projects for no actual use, gets deposed] must be nice

the mac n cheese and the apple crumble in the fridge getting ready for a back-to-back performance tonight

Thanksgiving Friday is a Go. 36 hour dry brine

wife had never heard american hi-fi's "flavor of the week" when it came on my shuffle and reader i was aghast

real

Three very cool shots from the mostly programatic (but still very fun) ROME EXPRESS, a 1932 British Gaumont train thriller from Walter Forde. (1) This nicely put together trick dolly shot moving from the toy train shot directly to "inside" the train car.

My absolutely favorite artwork for today, capturing the holiday more poignantly than any other: Alice Neel, Thanksgiving, 1965

From an NBA biomechanist. If anyone claims to be able to predict sports injuries, they're selling snake oil. I'm confident we will never be able to do so.

Sorry to the @fangraphs.com writer who was ready to entirely log off for the long weekend

Rush Hour 4 but it's a sequel to the Rush Hour TV Show

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

My theory on the MTG resignation is that as someone whose main accomplishment in Congress was Insider Trading, she wants to get out ASAP to avoid having to vote for the AI Bailout that will save her portfolio but kill her political ambition (and / or cash out a ton of stocks without scrutiny).

There was a genuine push in the last few years by conservatives to make "enjoying football" and "drinking bud light" as liberal coded so none of this is anything.

King Hu's script for Chinese railworkers wuxia movie, Johnnie To directs. No CGI—all blood requires squibs.

Say what you will about the state controlled film industries of the Soviet Union, but at least they made *good* movies.

@awalkerinla.bsky.social hi this is a small request but I think the sound mix on LA Pod for the last month or so is a bit too quiet? I have my Bluetooth speaker on max volume and I can’t make y’all’s voices out while doing dishes. Thank you!

The funny thing about “the news” as she describes in the whole clip is having people from center left and center right debate things…this is exactly what CNN and CBS and ABC and even to an extent Fox News have done for decades! And it sucks as a format!

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

having had to sit through this film a second time (to see a 70mm original print of Star Wars) only confirmed how bad it is

finally got the gif

I think GLP-1 has proved itself pretty useful for a myriad of issues and it seems that generally the side effects have been as expected and largely minimal, but it definitely seems like people are acting like its AI in that it's now supposed to solve everything.

Rip Udo Kier fantastic in the extremely underrated DOWNSIZING

Winter Kimchi Batch

Turkish Eggs and Pita

Yukon Gold, olive oil and salt on outsides, roasted until soft enough to mash. Mix with sour cream, garlic butter, salt pepper, and whatever milk you need to hit your consistency.

@rianjohnson.bsky.social hey idk if you remember this knowledge but it looked like the first baseball game Thomas Haden Church is watching is a Byron Buxton single during a Cubs game. I was trying to locate this game—am I on the right track? Not sure you remember what y'all chose there.

My name is President Donald J. Trump, and my pronouns are he/him.

Trump telling Zorhan it's okay to just call him a fascist is incredible content

listening to @chrishanel.com shout how the rockies are not the last "not normal" team when the angels exist already delivering returns

BYRON BUXTON IS IN THE NEW KNIVES OUT MOVIE

Birthday Boy Burger (Plus Chili Dog)

Only one thing to do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CL...

the Wall Street journal main news story on the “unexpectedly over performed” September jobs numbers somehow never once mentions that Trump fired the previous BLS head because the number was too low??? Not even a brief mention???

@48oniram.bsky.social happy birthday!!!!

This is very “uhhh we don’t know at all”
