Just saw a trailer for Avatar: Fire And Ash.
At this point it's clear that James Cameron is just making the same movie, five times over. All he's doing is using the "ancient elements" plot to change the setting.
Don't think I'll bother. Can't see anything new in it.

If ghosts exist then it stands to reason that dinosaur ghosts exist, so right now there's a Titanosauria ghost standing on your head and that is why I have a headache.

A walnut is the perfect topping for an Afghan biscuit. Chocolate biscuit with cornflakes in it, topped with chocolate icing, and with a walnut on top. It's the perfect flavour with that sweet crunchy chocolate.
Pecans are far too sweet for such things.

What are walnuts but bitter and disappointing pecans
Yeah, ick. Walnuts.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

We are NOT "proud". Quite the opposite. We think our government is a bunch of total cunts.

Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon
New Zealand was among only a handful of countries - including the US, Japan and South Korea - which had not formally recognised Palestinian statehood.

Technically, The Imposs!ble Fortune by @richardosman1.bsky.social is a pre-order, but it arrived today so I'm counting it as part of my birthday haul, and there's nothing you can do about it.

I wondered why, found an article. The TL;DR is... it works, but they're not sure why.

Just finished watching The Thursday Murder Club, based on the book by @richardosman1.bsky.social
It's about as perfect as an adaptation can get. Casting is spot on, the plot, although necessarily trimmed, keeps everything that is important.

I would be ashamed not to stand up for trans folks, not just because there are trans folks I like and love, but because everyone should get to live with the same personal freedom and dignity I get simply for existing. Who are we if we do not wish for others every right and privilege we have.
Thank you for being a straight cis man with some amount of fame and platform who pushes back on that sort of thing. Marginalization usually only changes when people NOT in the marginalized group start to push back on the hate and move the Overton window.

Reminder as a cis straight person I don't consider it my place to label myself an ally, or to tell LGBTQ+ folks that they're safe with me. That's for others to decide based on my behaviors and actions. It's entirely possible there will be differing opinions; there's no single certification board.

The theme music to Daredevil: Born Again strongly reminds me of the theme to Westworld. Apparently the composers are different, but they are VERY similar to my ear.

#BlackMirror has some good stories, but they do love to show computer programmers as barely-functional, socially awkward weirdos, and that's problematic.

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵
