@CinemaTweets1 That’s only the first half of that scene.

Frank Vincent worked with Martin Scorsese on three films: Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino. All memorable. Vincent enhanced each of these films. It’s worth mentioning that Vincent’s best role was probably The Sopranos. Vincent’s career was honestly loaded. #ScorseseSundays

@ThoNg676733 Touch of originality, unorthodox subject matter, catchy, foot tapping. 5/5 stars in the school shooting pop genre.

May be the darkest pop song ever written. Pulls the rug from under you when you realise what it’s about. genius.

@agadmator Yes, I noticed the same. Your coverage of the situation was fair and admirable. Missed opportunity for Netflix to add nuance to its program by showing the good side of the chess community.

Feels a bit weird Netflix left out the only big Chess channel that actually stood up for Hans after the initial accusation. Guess it didn't fit the movie narrative

@Khanstillday Check him out in this old Erasure video. youtu.be/3NieC4S2bzw?si…

He should have never spit in Jason Statham’s food

@SwipeWright Start at 2:40 mark here: youtu.be/sfDtfz7vXkY?si…

FINALLY (!) a new band an old Primus junkie like me can enjoy. Their rapid growth in popularity since debuting a month ago makes me think the kids will be all right! Angine de Poitrine

@DanOvercast @CNviolations Yeah

What would you do in this situation?

@ericweinstein There seems to be no independent, unbiased large-scale news business model that functions. It’s two movies, one screen everywhere one looks (Scott Adams, RIP).

Is there no place to simply get news on Iran, Israel, the Gulf, US forces and the Middle East? Everyone is cheerleading for something or the other. I want to know what is actually happeing to first approximation. How are you accomplishing this if at all? Thx in advance.

@Zigmanfreud We rarely, if ever, talked to anyone using written text. Outside of a rare letter, all talking with friends, family, coworkers and bosses was in person or on the phone. This changes relationships massively.

If you are longing for a simpler time that is now gone forever, this video will likely hit HARD… 🥲

@lady_valor_07 83

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

@MrKillevrything @GamewithDave It had the hidden room trick where the developer credits rolled.

@GamewithDave This may not be my first, but it is one of my earliest memories.

Without telling me your age. What is the first video game you played? GIFS ONLY!!!

It is my hypothesis that in the same way that Galileo and Newton discovered physical laws and principles about the natural world that really are out there, so too have social scientists discovered moral laws and principles about human nature and society that really do exist. Just as it was inevitable that the astronomer Johannes Kepler would discover that planets have elliptical orbits—given that he was making accurate astronomical measurements, and given that planets really do travel in elliptical orbits, he could hardly have discovered anything else—scientists studying political, economic, social, and moral subjects will discover certain things that are true in these fields of inquiry. For example, that democracies are better than autocracies, that market economies are superior to command economies, that torture and the death penalty do not curb crime, that burning women as witches is a fallacious idea, that women are not too weak and emotional to run companies or countries, and, most poignantly here, that blacks do not like being enslaved and that the Jews do not want to be exterminated. Why do blacks not want to be enslaved? Why do Jews not want to be exterminated? The answer is in my moral starting point of the survival and flourishing of individual sentient beings. Any organism subject to natural selection will by necessity have this drive to survive and flourish. If it didn’t, it would not live long enough to reproduce and would no longer be subject to natural selection. Why? The answer is found in the deepest purpose of life: to push back against the entropy of nature, as described by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. For a full defense see:

@Tachardiella @peterboghossian Yes, or fun new wavers or glam rockers.

@peterboghossian It's funny. Dyed hair and piercings used to be associated with punk. Now it's associated with obesity and "crippling" anxiety.

Every single person on the crowded Seattle metro looks like there’s something seriously wrong with them.

@greg16676935420 Turns out everything has already been measured.

Just found out the company that makes yard sticks won’t be making them any longer

@Kekius_Sage Gotta know what love is first. What is love?

🚨Elon Musk confirms Grok will learn about human love. We’re getting close to a world where love is programmable.

Hitch called it in 2009: "I implore you to resist while you can, before they take away your right to complain, which will be next. They will tell you that you cannot complain because you are Islamophobic. Barbarians never take a city until someone opens the gates for them, and it is your own preachers who will do that for you and your own multicultural authorities who will do that for you. Resist while you can."

@GMIgorSmirnov Wow. Bravo.

Can you solve this tricky puzzle? White mates in 2 🤔🤔

@16bitnostalgia Asteroids, sit down version.

If you met someone who had never been to the arcade before…which one game must they play?

@exQUIZitely Q2 was definitely the best online multiplayer death match experience. Edge! But as for the best FPS overall, it did not rival Quake’s single player mode.

Was Quake II the best FPS of the 90s? It was extremely well received by critics and sold over 1 million copies. Many magazines listed Quake II as the de facto benchmark for shooters, some even calling it the "best game ever created". Another huge plus was its modding community, which actively created maps and player skins. Graphics and music were off the charts for a 1997 shooter, with the legendary soundtrack provided by Sonic Mayhem. A little easter egg showing the id team member portraits in the final stages of the game—including "id Mom" Donna Jackson—was simply brilliant! 90s games had this special flair that's hard to explain to younger generations. John Carmack and his team were rockstars! Quake II was often the game of choice in our almost weekly LAN sessions. Dragging your PC tower and monitor half way across town felt so worth it when you'd boot up Quake II once everyone was setup. The glory days of peak 90s FPS!

@exQUIZitely Yes. Except for Unreal 2004. That was a masterpiece of online deathmatch. Rankin!

Did FPS games peak in the 90s? I guess the newer ones have better graphics, but do they really "feel" better in terms of gameplay and fun? Unreal Tournament (Epic Games, 1999) was one of the best of its kind. A favorite for our LAN sessions back in the day. Carrying a 21" mintor over to your friend's house felt a little less heavy when you knew you'd be playing Unreal later that day... Exellent and colorful graphics (even on PCs that weren't high end, like those you needed for Quake III Arena for example), great sound, and your typical capture the flag or deathmatches - I mean, what more did you need? Plenty of "Game of the Year" nominations (with some wins), the highest critcal acclaim, and massive sales numbers. I think we can all agree that Unreal Tournament belongs in the Hall of Fame of FPS games. Or maybe I am just getting old and gloryfing things from the past too much.

@GadSaad Yes.
