Happy New Year! Watch Clue!

This government abandoned lower speed limits and abandoned reforms to the RSA. Is this what "deeply concerned" and "doing everything" looks like? Red light cameras were supposed to be installed early this year. Where are they?

for all the talk about this being the next transformative technology, there is an awful lot of forcing from above. no one ever met with a country's PM to tell them smart phone adoption was too low. what are we doing here?

One of the best to ever do it

With Bardot's passing, the only named individuals in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire that are still alive are Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernie Goetz. The last one standing will claim The Prize.

it's amazing what you can get done when you're avoiding the things you are supposed to be doing

doing the double feature everyone's talking about: wicked for good and saipan, aka wickpan

CHATGPT: wow George you’re absolutely right. $8,000 is a lot of money. Mary would be better off without you.

fun pod 🎧

'Everyone assumes they don’t need to bother watching Westerns, but every time I watch a Western—any Western, not even a particularly good one—it feels like cinema as a whole cracks open anew.' Another excellent piece from @ciaramoloney.bsky.social www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-sec...

hell yeah tune in 🔉 and have yourself a merry little christmas ❄️

Remember when every leader wanted their picture taken with Greta? She is still that truth teller, they just can't face the truth of their crimes.

It's that time of the year. Time to count down our ten most popular episodes of a truncated season. Our tenth most popular episode was Mark Webb's "Snow White", with @mistercinecal.bsky.social and @ciaramoloney.bsky.social. Rachel Zegler, CGI dwarves and more! soundcloud.com/the250/421-s...

i'm fascinated by how much people love and are amazed by chat gpt saying "nice catch!" and "great observation!" because i personally find the condescension and obsequiousness the most skin-crawling thing about how LLMs "talk"

You probably haven’t seen the disco roller musical extravaganza “Roller Boogie” (released on this day in 1979) — and here’s why you should: crookedmarquee.com/keep-the-cha...

wrote about one of my favourite performances!

“The shock of his performance in the 1974 TV movie ‘The Morning After’ remains undiluted because he’s largely maintained the persona that it deconstructs,” @ciaramoloney.bsky.social writes of Dick Van Dyke. crookedmarquee.com/in-praise-of...

Cannot remember the last time I saw this man say anything other than moaning about how unfair everybody is to him

Because if you care about securely owning a movie that you love--as opposed to "owning" it only until a license agreement over which you have no control expires without warning--you need a DVD or Blu-ray. The hardware may be yesterday; the concern is very much of this moment.

don't know if this includes desktop or just the phone app, also have no recollection of visiting the Wikipedia page for eddie hobbs or why. I did read the whole of the page for castrato though

"In boots I'm five three." Davey Jones screen test, as featured at the end of s01e10, Here Come The Monkees

There's a trick to John Hughes' pictures—probably an unconscious, instinctive choice...he never goes beyond a kid's point of view; even the supposedly adult characters are seen only in kids' terms. (1986)

scarface is for girls!!!

Pointing out (because when else would I get to show off this research) that about 533 U.S.–produced features, from both major studios and independents, were released into theaters in 1957. In 2017, there were 131 given wide release, including independents. It's astounding how output has shrunk.

if i was one of them dervishes i'd rotate very slowly instead, sort of as a comment on our relationship with whirling, the social pressure to whirl in dervish communities, etc... it's not a statement AGAINST whirling, i'd clarify in an interview, only against whirling frivolously, without intention

i didn't think i had any real positive expectations for the academic job market because i'd heard all about the crisis of precarity, how hard it is to get a permanent job, people cobbling together part-time gigs on opposite sides of the country and bouncing from one temporary contract to another but

lot of competition but i think my favourite thing in the monkees pad is the "love of money is the root of all evil" embroidery. the sign saying "in case of fire, run" is up there though

in all sincerity: hell yeah

cannot oversell how disgusting it is that while jim o'callaghan proposes extreme anti-migrant measures, the response of sinn fein is "bet you won't follow through on these excellent policies"

someday a real Black Friday will come and wash all the scum off the streets
