@bonchieredstate I’m just trying to imagine on a day with gale force winds someone going “nice day for a barbecue”

How many wild fires have been started by people BBQing in their backyards?
Leighton 明 Woodhouse@lwoodhouse
The entire city could have burned down last year had the fires hopped the 101. Yes, obviously backyard barbecues should be banned on fucking red flag days. This rage baiting from the CA Post is pathetic.

@thackerpd It’s a weird point of contention but Paul says the coverup cost lives. I’m forced to admit that I’m not sure if lives could have been saved if we knew it was a lab leak from the beginning.

Twenty million people die and this jackass's response is, "Why do we care?"
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
How would knowing that Covid came from a lab - assuming for the sake of argument that it did, and that we could know that with certainty - have saved lives? What would have been different about our response?

@amancalledj @EyeOnStalk @jessesingal I thought it was more bad that they didn’t know he was a professor at their own school
English
@EyeOnStalk @jessesingal Isn't it actually concerning, though, that they've never heard of one of the most prominent public intellectuals of today and would rather have Lizzie McGuire speaking at their commencement at an academic institution of higher learning?

@kylamb8 @jhaskinscabrera You guys are correct, right, and spot-on.

Okay, where are the English scholars, which one?

@IMAO_ The last half-hour is just a mess. Who are they shooting at? How does a "temporal pincer movement" work? Cool idea, flawed execution. I was just ready for it to be over.
I did enjoy the behind-the-scenes stuff, where the cast and crew obviously had no idea what Nolan wanted.
English
I’ve really enjoyed every single Christopher Nolan movie and no one pays me to get mad at things so I’m just going to wait to see the movie to pass judgement.

@sunnyright @politicalmath Definitely a hint on what he wants for dessert

The denial of serious discussions within the @nytimes about retracting Nick Kristof’s column are even more concerning. They flat out deny egregious issues with source credibility and lack of evidence. There is every indication Kristof’s sourcing mistakes were deliberate.

@TaboriHK Good to know. I’ll be happy to have it exceed my expectations.

@HoleDigger2016 Dune 3 will technically be the second book and that was the most coherent of all of them. It's the last dune story I actually liked on the page. It is all massively downhill after
English
At this point no marketing for this movie would have been superior

Christopher Nolan explains his choice to cast Travis Scott in ‘The Odyssey.’ “I cast him because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap” (time.com/article/2026/0…)
English
@TaboriHK I get the vibe I won’t be too into Dune 3 but it will look and sound great, that’s for sure.
English
@HoleDigger2016 To be fair Dune is a hard story to adapt, especially after the first book. It's only going to get weirder, counterintuitive from a filmmaking standpoint and less enjoyable. I quit the books after three
English
@TaboriHK I’m hoping some of these stories are wrong, such as the Achilles rumor, which is totally bizarre
English
@HoleDigger2016 And yes felt the same way about Dune. I think both of those movies are Denis Villeneuve's most overrated by far. Christopher Walken was an even more bizarre choice than Zendaya
English
@FAmmiranteTFJ Agreed. Why are we supposed to care about this?

Maybe they got an open relationship and the husband has a side chick too? Who knows, who cares

@adamcarolla Slab is too thin. What if a meteor strikes it?

@DastDn Right? I’m embarrassed anyone takes this shit seriously.
English
Apart from every other toxically cringe aspect of this bullshit, it's such a painfully awkward staged theater kid visual, that it's giving me 100 degree second-hand embarrassment burns.
