This will pass, too. - James Foreman

I remember when Michael Crichton wrote Rising Sun, the old mentor character was so Sean Connery coded he might as well have just said “he looks like Sean Connery” and guess who they cast

It’s crazy how Sony is just beating the hell out of marvel at this stuff. Wonder man was so good but daredevil is embarrassing. A live action spin off tv show from the best superhero ever made which marvel also didn’t make youtu.be/u48_JpUloGY?si…

I genuinely — and I do mean genuinely — feel sorry for all those who could watch watch this and see it as anything less than the most perfect goodbye to Luke possible. This is what you get when a filmmaker has something to say that’s louder than what the studio has to sell.

If the Dems don’t prosecute these fucks at a tiny percentage of the intensity that this admin is going after them, there is no hope

The people who wanted Luke to be flipping and fighting and forcing: you do not want that. This is so so so much better

It is such a perfect send off to Luke Skywalker. He halts an entire army with the mere image of his ideal Jedi form and wins the day completely nonviolently. An absolutely brilliant Luke moment.

Trump is going to blanket pardon his entire staff and administration and the GOP is going to spend the next twenty years fighting to make it stick. Nobody will ever be held accountable. Only the little people go to prison!

I’m obsessed with this podcast where the guys look like they’re going to be debating acceptable body count for women but then they’re just talking about gardening

The shitty fascist algorithm on X, The Everything App, absolutely does not want you to see this

This is exactly why post apocalypse stuff rings false for me

Crucially as Mike indicates this is not laying people off because AI replaced them but because they’re spending more money on AI. I still don’t know how this doesn’t look like a bubble to everyone

When you’ve definitely read Dune

These two people sound like they’re in a snl sketch. My notes would be you’re going to broad with the caricatures try to tone it down lol youtube.com/watch?v=dgM322…

security vulnerability in gates of moria: under certain circumstances, a malicious user may be able to determine the password from UI text

I mean yeah the tortured Pittsburgh references are spot on (still not enough for Pittsburghers though) BUT so is the only thing I don’t like about the Pitt: the very serious lessons it likes to teach. So clumsy and obvious!

Incredible
