"I've spoken to Elon, and he'll be giving me the best Dome. Only the best Dome. Better than Bibi. All of the time. Just Dome 24/7."

Anyone know how (or why) the translation was updated?

I wonder how many times they had to tweak the prompt because 'Irish man' shat out a cartoon stereotype.

I used to adopt a very measured affect online because misreadings and contrarians gave me anxiety. Now, the less thought I give a response, the more it seems to be appreciated.

"At one point, he gets really mad and shouts 'Attica' at the crowd. I guess it makes sense in context."

"I mean... with poisons, or an animal--"
"Yeah, this isn't like that."

I know, right! A lot of sex stuff in the Jaws book that the movie wisely omitted.

Though looking at the current American trajectory, the next batch will probably be a lot less discerning.

Looking forward to that familiar, pained expression of American friends who can't quite get over their new home being dysfunctional in ways they couldn't previously imagine.

Gotta appreciate the energy though. Full, unapologetic goblin mode.

Indeed! I'm very grateful.

A week off the eardrops and no further flare-ups. Our long national nightmare is finally over.

If the studios are still going to take months to get back to us, we might as well take a few weeks and write it conventionally.

You look so happy, John. Love this for you.

Mostly because he was tired of the delays and restrictions the FAA placed on his firework shows... the most recent of which prompted dozens of flights to be rerouted to avoid falling debris.

I dunno, man. What he does to that poor raccoon is pretty horrific.

If it doesn't bring up Inception, I'll be disappointed.

Well, it's back. The eight day break was much appreciated, though.

It seems to be region-locked to the U.S. I haven't tried running it with a VPN, but that will probably work.

I feel like the executive is admitting they're no paying attention. We know, dude, you're an executive.

Me too. Since then, I've interviewed a fighter pilot, and I don't think I would've liked it. Good call, me.

I'm looking forward to Turmp's live mic picking up 'What the fuck is he talking about?' at a shared event.

I feel like there was five minutes there where a 'bag-drop' was a swift, self-service process. Scan your boarding pass, tick the boxes, print the luggage tags and drop the bags kinda thing. Then they stopped doing it for some reason.

As bland and stomach-churning as their product.

He's such a compelling speaker. I guess that's no surprise, considering how lean and entertaining all his films are.

There was a brief trend in the 90s of rotating an anamorphic lens in front of the camera, instead of just using it for widescreen compression.

I'm sure the 'perfect kid' will do absolutely fine with that level of expectation. No chance of it backfiring whatsoever.

I've just noticed something. It's subtle, but I swear Curtis looks happier in the AI version. Unforgivable.

Since whomever's left on the Daft Punk payroll seems to be full-time monetising the archives, this doesn't surprise me... but yes, it would've been nice if they'd gone back to the original negatives.

Really enjoyed this one! Remember playing this one in the Bowling Alley in Dundrum. Never got very far, so it was a real treat to see all the later scenes.

I agree that the unretouched photos somehow feel more truthful. More real. A flash photo taken on a 70's/80's camera, in an obscure office in early 80's Manchester, shouldn't look that vivid and crisp. It feels wrong.
