There are very few films I've seen six times. By after like the 2nd or 3rd watch I start noticing all the little flaws & they start bothering me. But, I guess these two probably are the answers.

This is a very strangely framed article that feels badly stitched together from two other articles

This is more outrageous when you consider the details. Barrhaven residents are just asking for their transfers to be valid for long enough for them to commute to work, presumably downtown, without paying twice. They're not even asking for their *30km* commute to take *less than 2 hours by transit*.

I should really write about this in more length but I have been increasingly bummed out by people's reactions to robotaxis, like "well, at least they're safer than human drivers". Even if that were true (it's, at best, complicated) it's such an impoverished view of what is possible. (cont'd) /

Years ago, back on the other place, I got in an argument with someone who claimed that robotaxis would both remove the need for private vehicles as well as reduce the number of cars on the road along with the infrastructure needed to support those numbers

You're all wrong. I'm forced to wake up at 7AM by my cat, who starts agitating for food at around 6:30.

Like a lot of early reggae legends, Cliff hit a bit of a creative slump in the '80s & '90s. Never bad, but largely treading water musically & no longer as relevant as he once was. Which made the late-career Rebirth such a surprise. Just an absolutely solid selection of tracks.

We've had lots of "Many Rivers to Cross" but "Sitting in Limbo" — written in response to the death of his longtime producer, Leslie Kong — remains my favourite Cliff track off of The Harder They Come.

Goodbye Jimmy Cliff. His vocal in this 1976 SNL performance, good lord---one of the best singers of his generation, of any generation. vimeo.com/155135842

"he looks more like a comic-book character than a senior citizen" If that's true, then it's one of the early '90s Liefeld imitators. Lots of unnecessary lines, squinting eyes, and gritted teeth.

The Star Wars Deuterocanonical texts. Yes! This is what I'm talking about!

I'm the, "No movie can make the top 5, as there are only 4 Star Wars movies." guy. 😉

While you might see Rogue One & Last Jedi switch places, this is largely a safe list — the one you'd get from most people. Let me see your iconoclastic takes! I want to see Solo in the top 5! Part of the original trilogy in the bottom half! Let's really get the flames heated here.

Secrecy from top to bottom. A plague across Canadian — but especially Ontario — agencies.

RIP Jimmy Cliff (has there ever been a more obvious song to play when someone dies) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y9Q...

"the harder they come" is one of the all-time great soundtracks, I am being dead serious

Never get out of the boat, Charlie Brown.

I don't know what kind of city you live in where you have no self-respect and a guy can show up as Santa Claus and be all skinny with an obvious fake beard and just suck at it, but in Philly people are going to have some fucking standards for their Santas Claus.

one response (true, funny) to the twitter location thing is "lol twitter/the gop/vc is cooked" and another response (true, less funny) is that a massive amount of the traffic on ALL public social media is money-making scams lying about national origin

so here’s a word I’m going to pronounce with four syllables forever now

High Evolutionary, buddy, no self-respecting god would have a handle on their head.

A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor @nickhunebrown.bsky.social to investigate their past work. In the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, removed articles from their sites. thelocal.to/investigatin...

It's not one camera, but a group of them: there's a wide array of bodies from 2nd tier brands that you can find from the early '70 to early '80s that may not be quite at the level as your Pentaxes, Canons, Nikons, &c. but are perfectly good cameras and often available for a fraction of the cost.

#RandomGameSaturday GG Aleste II This is either the last or 2nd to last Compile shoot 'em up released before they pivoted to seemingly nothing but Puyo Puyo & RPGs. Of the 2 shooters they released for the Game Gear, it's the better one & is representative of their design philosophy for the genre.

WALKER mentioned.

The good news is that after a rocky start in quality, all of the SuperGrafx's truly bad games are now behind it. From here on out they're all at least "playable" & it will end with a 60% hit rate. The bad news is, well, do the math and work out how many more games that means.

You are no longer in a maze of twisty legal passages, all alike.

"he exemplifies proud paternal investment" I'd be surprised if he even knows all his kids' names.

Huh. The most obvious candidate would be the 14th century "fay" — as mentioned, it's derived from Middle French, where it was spelled "fae" — but the OED suggests it was never spelled that way in English. Known variants up until the mid-20th century being fay, faye, fée, and faies, but never fae.

Wake up, babe, new NYC neighnorhood just dropped. They're called it the Southest Bronx.

It looks bad, but you need to read the criteria to get a true sense of how bad the category is. They hired a 3rd party to rank the top 25 US podcasts using criteria like "advertising revenue". This list was then put out as an invitation for those podcasts to submit entries to be one of the nominees

RIP to another neon sign. The continued passing of an age.

"there is no coffee tradition in France" Monsieur, I get that you are defending France's honour after someone compared your coffee to Starbucks, but France enthusiastically took to coffee around the same time as Italy.

A lot of talk about neighbourhood character, despite being presented with the veneer of preserving history, is about preserving the modern not the historic. It's about stopping changes from the current state, even if that's a relatively recent arrival.

Stuck in my head this morning.

"Pitying Self-Importance" is the name of my indie rock side project.

The cover is lazy, yes, but it's also entirely in keeping with her self-importance. It's clearly aping the look of one of those books by important 20th century writers. Where all you need is the author's name to sell it.

Seamless segues there, ma'am. Absolutely flawless.
