The universe is cold, uncaring, and always, at every moment, trying to kill us. Even before we are born, if we are lucky enough to make it that far, it is wearing at us, and in the end, through various possible means, it always wins. 1/

@OliverJia1014 As a huge fan of the book, GREAT! As for the films, while in many ways the Tarkovsky film is closer, he misses the point entirely. Still, the five minute "drive through Japan" sequence is... amusing when you have context for it. I did like the Soderbergh film as well.

Next audiobook. Enjoying Solaris so far. I saw the Soderbergh film ages ago and liked it well enough but wanted to go back the source material. Going to watch Tarkovsky films for the first time soon so I’ll also listen to Roadside Picnic ahead of Stalker.

Friends of Taiwan: I stand with my colleagues in Congress urging the Legislative Yuan to back President Lai and fund his FULL defense budget proposal. The threat from Beijing is real and growing. America stands with Taiwan, but Taiwan must stand strong. The world is watching.

Tbh, I’ll never understand why it’s so hard for some people to just hit the RT button. 🙄 Spending hours (and money on subs!) to craft a unique AI video just to see someone download it and repost without credit... it hits different. Especially when their stolen upload gets more views than the original. 💀 I literally go out of my way to find and tag creators even if I just used a part of their prompt. It’s called basic respect for the craft. I doubt even 1k people will see this rant, but I had to get it off my chest. Support the OGs, not the thieves. ✌️

Lots of pretty cool stuff overall. Most of it is probably junk, but this place is sort of like a nostalgic museum. A lot of these pieces I’ve never seen in Japan before. The owner must have some contacts overseas.

At a Yokohama antiques store and they’re selling factory sealed packs of Topps trading cards for Batman, Robocop, and TMNT. ¥680 each. Don’t think they’re particularly valuable as they were mass produced, but pretty cool nonetheless. Not too common in Japan.

@RealTsavo @OliverJia1014 He's not wrong. Not all propaganda is made as propaganda, much of it has to do with the timing of projects being greenlit. (Recent examples: Greenland, Greenland 2. It's an ad.) They are war movies, based off books written by a WWI veteran, and we were going to war/ at war.

@OliverJia1014 @Karai_Dan Trying to work on that, plus more home-cooked meals, portioned out over the week (I tend to bulk-make dishes, it's easier than cooking every day, I just change it from week to week).

Taken exactly two years apart today. I successfully reversed my disastrous dirty bulk and lost over 50 pounds. Calorie restriction and lots of cardio. Got back into running and did two half marathons last year. Aiming for my first full marathon in 2027. Never give up.

@Karai_Dan @OliverJia1014 I need to lose weight now myself. I am the heaviest I have ever been. Granted, the burnout, CPTSD, and need to not overexert myself did a lot to contribute to that, in addition to seasonal weight gain, depression, and stress eating, but I am working on getting myself back.

@OliverJia1014 I gained weight from 2023 to mid 2024 from pretty bad stress eating. Was on a string of very stressful jobs with people who made me want to curl into a ball so melonpan and late night cereal was comfort. Just cut that out and I’m back to normal again.

@Osint613 There's a big difference between "stolen" and "conquered". Both DO have their place in this conversation, but we also need to look at the fact that tribes took land from each other all the time long before European colonists came along.

@EliasToufexis Hell, I'm seeing it in my friends, and more than once I have had to rewind a film because they were looking at their phones and missed a subtle but important detail. It's frustrating, especially when you're trying to share something special with them.

I see it in my teens and I’m trying to fight it. 30 minutes max, the second there’s a half a second lull they look for their phone. Even if they don’t have them. I see them break their contact with the movie. I’m working on it in my home but it’s a real problem.

For years, audiences have groused that films are too long, and now, a number of film professors say their students are having trouble finishing films they are assigned to watch for class. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

@OliverJia1014 Hell, I still remember one fool trying to convince me that Disney was going to do "Star Wars" justice because they understood how to make a "quality product". I don't think I could have rolled my eyes any harder. I was just waiting for them to come out with "Star Wars Buddies".

@OliverJia1014 I still loved episode I, and was baffled by the haters. Episode II... well, that's different. I enjoyed it, but it is pretty objectively messy. III was solid, but all of them were imaginative, fun, and had heart and creativity. Unlike Disney's attempts (Rogue One and Andor aside)

Look I think the late millennial/early Gen Z glazing of the prequels is rather silly at times, but the Gen X/early millennial notion that they’re horrible cinematic abortions is also hyperbole. They’re not even that bad by early 2000s filmmaking standards. Come on.
Hans Fiene 🦬@HansFiene

I’m not dealing with you insane millennials. The Star Wars prequels are top to bottom awful. Horrible. Terrible in every single aspect. People don’t hate them because of cynicism. They hate them because they are objectively wretched films.

@Karai_Dan That said, if I heard anyone actually say those things, I'd want to punch them. I probably wouldn't, but I'd want to.

@Karai_Dan If it really is a thing, sure. I've never really heard it before, so if people are using it, I'm not sure it would be many people. Sort of like the actual number of people who legitimately use "birthing persons" unironically.
