That was fast!
Only 16 months since the announcement.

No development hell this time: Neuromancer is really coming as a TV show!
I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal.

I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

Top comment was a kneejerk reaction that missed all the nuance their comment projected. In a word, Paradoxical. In two words, Beautifully Ironic. In three words, Facebook doing Facebook.

there's a real fun "emperor's new clothes" aspect to all this where everyone in politics is sort of standing around avoiding each other's eyes because if any of them actually admit to the level of crisis currently taking place, they might have to do something about it

(and then I recognized the Vatican windows I smashed in the recent Indiana Jones game. 😂)

I loved the first half of The Gorge, aka the love story between two skilled snipers. It was sweet and very well done. The second half is déjà vu by sci-fi fans, even if it's solidly filmed.

This weekend I saw two very different films (and that's the beauty of cinema).

I knew next to nothing about Conclave (except "awards season"), so what a surprise to discover a magnificent and very... contemporary political thriller. It really resonates with current events.

Ralph Fiennes is 🥰

We've had people say "we are too negative" or that "our feed scares them", we get it, this is what the real world looks like; if the corporate media covered information as it really is in a digestible and adult format, no street would be left unfilled.

Polychaete worms can have jaws made of iron. Forget teeth—some deep-sea worms went full metal and said, "Bite harder."

These Ocean-Dwelling Bristle Worms Have Jaws Made of Metal
Scientists have studied the jaws of the ocean-dwelling bristle worm and found that it is partially made of iron, and as strong as a piece of metal.

Neil Gayman (innocent until proven guilty) is an example of why the pushback against Virtue-Signaling exists:

It holds people accountable to what they SAY, instead of what they DO.

Private equity is the worst thing that could’ve happened to healthcare in the United States among so many other terrible things that have happened to healthcare. Profits first, actual care second.

Dear Democrats,

Nothing will change until the progressive left is given the chance to lead your party. The 80+ people must pass the torch. Until that happens, I shall keep not blessing you with the outcome you want—victory.

Sorry,

there is a 24/7 right-wing propaganda apparatus that operates across multiple mediums and it designed to do exactly this: smother any kind of local, material concern with cultural war signifiers and cultivate a “political affiliation as team sport” ethos
Montana is the clearest place to see the nationalization of US politics. Whole Dem ticket was multigenerational MT hunters & farmers in bolo ties. Dem gov candidate owned a gun manufacturer. GOP slate was outta state tech.

Whole race was dominated by natl culture war & southern border, GOP sweep
