I once used Star Wars as an excuse to punish my keyboard, sometimes for others, like http://FANgirlblog.com. I also whistle indoors. #SWREPMATTERS (He/Him)

This was work writing, but I was new, and was told to go to second most senior person to have them provide review/edits. I followed said review edits, took it to the senior person, who then lambasted me for the very changes I had just made. -_-

Holy heck does Jiang Ziya go hard right out of the gate. So many scenes waiting to be air brushed on the side of a van.

So Ne Zha was good. It’s weird, but I love the universality of comedy.
And welp, thanks to the message saying hang around for the end credits scene, I now have to watch the film made in the same EU before Ne Zha 2!

The holiday season just got wild with the delivery of the used professional scanner that was bought from goodwill without being tested and no power cord.
This will either be the season of joy (while slowly scanning slides and photographs) or the gnashing of reposting for parts on ebay.

Historians do what they do because they are passionate and love what they study. The fire that burns in my wife’s eyes when she’s discovering something in the depths of microfilm is magnificent.
Also, if you don’t like reading works in your field you probably shouldn’t be a historian? It is very much your job to do that, and if you don’t like it then unfortunately it’s simply not the job for you.
This is one of the reasons I remain horrified by seeing @historians.org suggest "ways to use gAI" that included this:

Even if you don't like the MCU, you'll like MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios. It's a fun, fast read. I continually tear pages from my copy of X-Men #410 and burn them in sacrifice for a hopeful sequel.
It’s the holidays and there’s a AVENGERS DOOMSDAY trailer out. If you or your friends and family want to know how we got here, or you’d like to prove to someone that the Infinity Saga was made up as they went along head to TheMCUBook.com or look for MCU: THE REIGN OF MARVEL STUDIOS at the bookshop!

I was pretty proud of my ice tea until the styrofoam cup suddenly broke and it all crashed to the ground in a splash of tea water and ice.
But otherwise, no complaints about this Tuesday.

Fun fact. Glen Close performed all her scenes on an 18" platform for this film. But seriously, I love seeing stage craft like this.
#WakeUpDeadMan is now on Netflix, and is still in 500 theaters nationwide this week! See my pinned post for a theater finder link. ⏰💀🪦🍿🎟️

I appreciate it's in the original, as I cannot bring myself to watch the sequel anymore due to a momentary cameo.
John Williams’ “Somewhere in My Memory” is so damn good. For me it has transcended its original identity as a piece of film score and has been elevated into the canon of holiday-themed music.

I gotta believe that when you take the core age demographic of people who watch the Oscars and overlap it with the core age demographic who use Youtube, in the center are maybe a few hundred people.
This just in: The Oscars telecast will move from broadcasting to streaming in 2029, switching from ABC to YouTube — a watershed moment for the entertainment business. www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/m...
