Thoughts on Sorcerer (1977): getting away with needing a full hour to introduce your characters and setting up your premises is crazy work. Serving mild absurdity before serving the dynamites was certainly a choice.

Oh my, this whole prologue presentation, themes and characters seem crazy lynchian... Could that be a stretch tho? idk

*A club called Lost Highway as a setting to crazier events*

Alright. Ok, fine. Roger that. Can't really argue.

in america if you don’t mourn the 21st century hitler youth program director you get fired from your job

My parents been live commenting this fuck ass filibuster the whole day. There is no way I'm not entitled to compensation after enduring this.

August always sucked, as far as I can remember. This one feels like the suckiest to date? Looking forward for the next one to break the streak. One eventually might do it.

sorry, could not resist ^^ #spirk #startrek

How Big How Blue How Beautiful is the closest to a spiritual experience I ever had. Which is crazy since considering it was released a month after I "officially" quit the church lol

Watched Matthias & Maxime last night and, oh boy, wasn't really expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. There is something endearing about those dorks support characters, Francine warmed my heart and I gagged discovering this is where that scene with Harris Dickinson wearing headphones came from.

I Hope I Am Not Only The Grungler To U Guys But Also A Friend

the mamdani thing is showing you how limited the range of acceptable opinions actually is in america. republicans can be a stone's throw away from endorsing genocide and thats fine but one guy goes slightly to the left of dem party orthodoxy and we're right in the middle of soviet russia

A única razão de precisarem manter e controlar "canais humanitários reais" é que, enquanto os de "mentirinha" tão preocupados em levar ajuda, os "reais" se tornaram arapucas bem planejadas pra executar gente desalentada à céu aberto. E eles nunca abririam mão disso, pelo visto.

vou explicar só mais uma vez de maneira muito resumida:

- sim, devemos disputar o digital

- disputar o digital NÃO É disputar o algoritmo das plataformas

- a direita ganha porque DOMINA O DIGITAL. ela nunca sequer PRECISOU disputar o algoritmo, ela senta com a META e o Google em eventos.

I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

Eu detesto ter que repetir isso mas tem anos que vários estudiosos repetem exatamente isso:

Chegamos na massa crítica de acumulação de capital que vender coisas não paga mais as contas; só seduzir gente rica a investir. Empresas (e as pessoas que trabalham nelas) viraram ativo especulativo.

This is the current direction many companies are moving in when it comes to Gen AI btw.

All it will lead to is increased alienation and a further disconnect from the real world as it harvests data, delivers targeted advertising, and subtly reinforces political views.

Friendship as a Service

I also think one of the most powerful forms of radicalization is educating as many people as possible about mechanics - financial, systemic and technological - behind the tech industry. Their entire success has been based on obfuscating their work as too big or complex for "normal" people to "get."
