Wrapped my fists in ropes, dipped them in glue, and rolled them around in broken glass in preparation to remove the pagination of front and back matter in Open Office.

I think it was JFK Jr, the one who faked his death and will reveal his plans with Trump to stop the steal.

I always think these conventions are silly, but the first paperback I read that actually started on the first page and had no paginations looked cheap and wrong.

The tariffs and everything associated with the dipshit fascist sitting in the White House are deeply fucking stupid, but no, the Secretary of Commerce doesn't think you make bananas in a factory with a hammer and screwdriver.

out again, and this these tariffs are only a cudgel to get foreign governments to kiss up to your moron of a boss" doesn't get clicks the same way.
A 10% increase in the cost of bananas would cost the average American $1.73 yearly. Bananas have gone up 8% in the last 5 years and you probably didn't

An accurate answer of "Banana production in America is insufficient to meet demand, there are limitations to the yield and varieties in our climate, Chiquita and Dole are unlikely to attempt mass production due to the tariffs, and prices will increase until TACO chickens

He was speaking generally about domestic goods and never said we could "build bananas".
Dean even starts with "You can't grow bananas in America," then repeats it as "You can't build bananas in America."
You can grow bananas in America.

Intended dunk by Dean was to conclude that you can't produce bananas in America, but most quotes made fun of the idea that bananas are something to be built as opposed to grown.
Lutnick's full line was “If you build in America, and you produce your product in America, there will be no tariff.”

their eggs, the human survivors break open the giant eggs and stop on the embryos.
Solipsistic horror as a returning vet finds that most people aren't real.
Fun stuff, probably more my style than his classier stuff.

I will always love him for the time when, after getting cancer, he made sure everyone knew it was from all the pussy he ate

There was a thing about Douglas being the only white man that some Black women of a certain age found attractive. Like an inverse Lola Falana.

for the perfect sunset, having the shooting schedule depend on weather and filming in Ireland was a bad combination.
Jones had a "James Dean" quality, in that he was a hot guy who looked like James Dean. Not sure it had much more depth than that. I also have a James Dean quality (mumbles, slouches)

which caused a car crash and him thinking he was losing his mind. This drove Jones out of the business, but as he seemed to be an abusive rapist, fuck him.
Went six months over schedule, and bad reviews drove director David Lean from filmmaking for 14 years. A perfectionist who would wait months

This led me down a Christopher Jones rabbit hole and the cursed film Ryan's Daughter. Robert Mitchum was suicidal at the time, Jones had an affair with Sharon Tate who was just killed in the Manson Family murders. The directors supposedly surreptitiously sedated Jones to get a better performance,

At some point this feels like when they throw a single blueberry into muffin mix so they can say it has real fruit flavor.
It's art. It's made up. It's supposed to be fake.

I've known photographers that brag how they create images that look very different from the original with a human eye, but they don't photoshop, they do all the effects in camera. A harder skill, but I can't say the outcome is more "real" than adjusting levels and contrast on a laptop.

The characters and sleazy setting of 1970s Atlanta carry a lot of the weight, and for me it seems as time goes on it won't cover for the plotting as effectively.

"can you update this figure from last year's report? No, I'm not going to send it you a copy of the old one, just look through your emails for this figure"

I remember a frame rate explainer from the 90s that said the human eye is unable to distinguish over around 20 frames a second, and that ntsc vhs over does it. They may have been wrong.

Sometimes included as a blaxploitation movie only because Bernie Hamilton is in it, has more of a late hippie vibe. More drama than exploitation, with everyone chewing the scenery.

Don't know much about Wish, but soulless, poorly made, focused grouped, "algorithmic" content predates AI. Movie posters have looked like ass for decades now.

The graphic design (text, fonts, layout) is definitely not AI. It's way harder than conventional computer programs, and usually just modifies existing design.

Now I'm wondering if Sting picked "Loch" as a rhyme for "crotch" or vice versa.
