The Carlisle 522007 stackable 20 oz is the best cup ever created

Thief (1981) Dir. Michael Mann James Caan on cracking the safe in Thief's opening scene, after being trained by professional thieves. "They had a big Richmond lock and safe there, you know? And the guys were there, and they gave me a magnetic drill which weighed close to 200 pounds. And they go, "Jimmy, break it..." "What?" "Go ahead, go into the safe" "You got to be kidding me?" Now, the way they used to make them, they'd take four inches of cold-rolled steel, and then they'd put copper behind it. And then behind that would be cement for fire. When you put the drill in, you always had to feel this pressure, right? So you could feel it was cold-rolled steel.... Now, the purpose of the copper was to bind the drill exactly for that reason, because once you came through there and you hit that copper - it would just wrap all around your drill, and it was over. So you had to be exact - and when you hit the copper, you got to come off the pressure, you know? And I busted into this thing, and I opened it up. And then when I looked - and I was not prepared - there were these two doors inside with these little round locks. I go..."Oh".....But they're filming... So, I just looked up, and I grabbed this hammer and took this little chisel and boom! I knock both locks out...I felt like I just graduated Harvard or something. You know, it was great - that was one of my proudest moments. I called my mother, and she said, "that's my boy". ...I got pretty good at opening safes. It's a wonderful thing to be good at - because my sister - she had one of these floor safes in this house that I bought. And she couldn't open it, you know? - I went to work, and I got the thing open. It was great. So I learned some good stuff in case things go bad."

Underdiscussed how much Villeneuve made Eastern Canada brutalism a big mainstream thing with BR 2049 and the Dune movies lol

Andrei Tarkovsky often reflected on the way that time flies and this is precisely what he wanted: to stop it, even with these quick Polaroid shots. The melancholy of seeing things for the last time is the highly mysterious and poetic essence that these images leave with us.

The Sea and Cake (+ Sam Prekop's solo records) are so good and important and you need to listen to them if you have no yet because they will improve your soul.

the book I've got coming out soon is about how so much of child raising for the middle classes is built off this model, how this leads to alienation and loss of community (and doesn't produce better athletes, mathematicians, or anything). Stay tuned.

Hackers got DOOM running on a copy of Michel Foucault's 'Discipline and Punish'

There should be a video game about designing the plaza outside an office building, with points awarded based on how likely pedestrians, workers, etc are to use it. You could take a lot of the internal logic from 'The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces' by William H Whyte.
