[Exeunt.] takes on a character of the just removed. If Lady, it’ll be the rustle of silks of her dress; if bodyguards, thumping of boots and rushed clanking of scabbards

@eris_nerung I find Stefanescy repulsive while everyone else seem to like her

@stagefright__ examples???? the good thing here is that this bitch is not mindlessly adored, IME she always had to resort to some really unseeming tactics to get her way ("innocently" portraying all the other girls, who were behaving normally, as what she is)

i need to be saved ówò i need you to do everything because im such a widdle helpless honey bunny >_< if u don't know, how am i supposed to..? pls do ewewything for me...... ass posting

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder or, in this case, in the eye of a chicken! I love this #ShotOniPhone macro photo Rashid Sheriff took on his iPhone 15 Pro. What an amazing photo that celebrates the spirit of #WorldPhotographyDay! 👁️🐔

@eris_nerung Lit twitter has at least one such bottom of the barrel bitch most of them for some reason mindlessly adore, “a poet” at that

retarded bitch blocked me. for the record, i witnessed at least three NORMAL group chats, with a subject everyone was interested in, turned into little mosques for the worshipping of this exact anime club princess

@rocknrollofall Ethel Cain would be perfect for this

Chris Isaak and Lana Del Rey came together to perform Isaak's iconic Wicked Game. This is so good.

@DanielGalef I’m not sure you follow either

@stagefright__ ?? - not sure I follow, you were the one saying we feel familiar with the times our grandparents lived in

When my generation thinks about the 20C it is like this: parents were young in the 70s and 80s, grandparents in the 30s so you maintain a sense of familiarity (ownership) of most of the 1900s but we’ve been more in this century than in the previous one

@eris_nerung LLMs. every tourist now knows about the “ down season “

why are there so many french on this side of the guanabara bay this month? it's summer in europe and cold as shit here, why are you here

gringos are obsessed with visiting Rio and wasting their brazilian-passing phenotype by dressing gringoly

@DanielGalef older people love selling their ancientness but it’s been some 50 years and merely 15 years ago they most of them were more or less simply older version of their middle aged self

@stagefright__ Is there a second-hand secondhandness, too? If I can "own" times and places I never experienced because I knew someone who did, then doesn't my grandfather telling me about his grandfather who lived through the 1880s grant me the 1880s?

difficult to hate on e-bikes too much when you notice how many of them are carrying mom + dad + kid during weekdays peak hours. that's an entire car's worth of people

@eris_nerung Cars should be from foldable fabric (origami cars!) and Howard Hughes had solved trucking a while ago anyway (by, well, shipping) so we don’t really need large, heavy honks of sheet metal

@DanielGalef you know what I mean,yes? there is this person that you know/knew and they represent an access to an era, it is a laziness toward history, the sense of privy

@stagefright__ you had ancestors in other centuries, too

While in Shakespeare there is no belief system–this *is*, after all, the hand of a demiurge–Borges was the most astute and exact observer of belief systems—and of gnosticism, notably. In his persistent disclosure of gnostic mechanics, Borges was truly a gadfly for demiurges.

reading Borges in the Summer is like being transformed into a beautiful woman and being flown around the world shown its secluded parts

@vazbavi Is that Elle Fanning that the scientologist’s ex wife is trying to cop?

Nicole Kidman says that you can keep your childhood blankie until you're 85, "there's no medal for giving it up" Nicole Kidman: "I always say to kids... your comfort is your comfort." Nicole Kidman: "If you need to keep your blankie till you're 85, you keep your blankie. There's no medal for giving that up." Nicole Kidman: "Who says you have to be this sort of perfect grownup? You're allowed to have these things."

@vazbavi Kidman paces her phrases exactly as Musk does

@douglasjluman I am tempted to compare it to theater. The eye conflates the color swathes with depth to which the brain says: ah, an architectural ambiance! The Woman in the Dunes is nearly 4:3 b&w and had lingered in my (tall) room for hours after watching.

@stagefright__ this is understandable from the perspective of a device dominating your field of view, something i didn't think about what about screens though? similar effect?

someone with deep film knowledge school me on why 16:9 is better than 4:3 i once saw The Maltese Falcon in 4:3 in a theatre and i gotta tell you, it was the best i get that there's probably some artistic benefit to a wide horizon/view or something, but 4:3 rules

@Techmeme @SuperAntonio64 They should call this the “Gamma squeeze”

A review of Microsoft's 13-inch Surface Laptop shows 8GB of RAM is not enough for a good Windows 11 experience; PC makers have unveiled upcoming 8GB laptops (@superantonio64 / The Verge) (Visit Techmeme dot com for the link and full context!)

@Techmeme @ChanceHMiller It is a symbolic amount, similar to the 50GB plan

Apple raises the price of Apple Music, with the individual plan up by $1 to $11.99, and some Apple One bundles, the first price hike for Apple Music since 2022 (@chancehmiller / 9to5Mac) (Visit Techmeme dot com for the link and full context!)
