Went to my local indie theater tonight to see this. I knew Buster Keaton was a gem, but I’d never watched a full feature before. The choreography, storytelling, and physical comedy was so impressive. Highly recommend if this comes to a theater near you.

this is a no-stakes complaint, I own how not important this is. But if you're going to have your characters on screen drink Champagne/sparkling wine & there are no bubbles in the beverage, you are smashing a Mo Pet Peeve spot real dang hard. Either have bubbles or have them drink something else!!

From 1999-2013, RFK sold his own brand of bottled water (in plastic bottles, and with a horrible carbon footprint) that contained TWO TIMES the upper limit of fluoride recommended for dental health, which is more than the safely allowable amount per US Public Health Service, and IS potentially toxic

My basic problem with this thinking is always at core quite simply that certain things about the System are, in fact, fine.

I love 1950s science fiction because they’ll tell a story about a giant mantis and spend 15 minutes explaining the concept of an exoskeleton

The weirdest thesis that has picked up absurdly much vigour with my circles on here is the idea that Graeber and Musk have something in common because they both think some jobs are bullshit. I think some of you need to cool it on the negative polarisation machine.

Its kind of becoming clear that American conservatives don't just hate liberalism (late 20th century market-friendly socially egalitarian values) they hate Liberalism (18th century philosophy embracing individual rights and democracy)

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.
