This book was recommended by a Mexican in a thread about the clumsy portrayal of Mexico in Emilia Pérez. Translated in 2022. This needs more coverage. harpers.org/archive/2023...

Thinking about how so many voted for a cartoon villain and wondering… have I been watching cartoons all wrong?

It’s a good thing they have never invited me into the Criterion closet. The video would be 9 hours of me talking about why I love half the movies and half loading up a van with the ones I don’t yet have.

The recent lesson for me is that true geniuses are far more rare than narcissists who can convince lots of people that they are a genius.

I for one believed the people saying Dittmann was a Musk alt. So mea culpa on that.

In honor of the passing of David Lynch, please let a weirdo in your life know that you love what a strange otherworldly creature they are.

David Lynch has either died or pierced the thin veil of reality between us and eternity.

It would be funny if you were on a boat and it capsized and then you realized, hey wait, this boat is the size of a soda bottle cap, that’s why it capsized.

I asked Claude AI for a Seinfeld routine on LEGO: "What is the deal with LEGO? I mean, they sell you these bricks in a box with this beautiful picture on the front - a whole castle, a spaceship, whatever. But when you open it up? PIECES! Just... thousands of pieces!”

The term “sex cult” is kinda redundant, isn’t it? If you’re running a cult and not getting laid, you’re doing it wrong.

I have an extremely loose theory that part of the success of SQUID GAME and SHOGUN is that by using subtitles they actually demanded that the audience pay attention in an age of distraction and TV shows made for people half-watching

Extremely unlucky that all our most powerful billionaires are having mid-life crises at the same time, like a group of girl BFFs who synchronized their periods.

Is there something in Claude’s instructions that makes it ask a question in every reply? Would find it more useful if chats were encouraged to be exactly as long as they need to be. Right now it feels like talking to my neighbor on the spectrum who doesn’t take cues for when conversations are over.

My daughters got into Sonic. Trying to learn about the history of the characters brought me to this video, one of the best things I’ve seen in a while. Nonstop behind the scenes drama: youtu.be/xzor44qgKnA?...

As a fan of Roman history, I advise Mark Zuckerberg to look into the history of those who appeased Emperor Justinian.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.
