feels like an especially irresponsible moment to ignore BDS when Game Pass is the easiest, level one way to participate in the boycott and BDS just called for renewed pressure after Israel passed a law on executing Palestinian and Arab in prisons that use Microsoft cloud services

Playing Love Eternal based on @aspecificegg.bsky.social’s recommendation. It’s gotten pretty tough, but it feels great clearing a difficult section.

It’s also weird.

Can you get me a job on the moon

I did this in my 20s at nights and cannot imagine doing it now in my 40s

What's behind your longing for being a pack of dipshits

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

LRT it's Monday AM and I'm sick and I'm tired and I'm sick and tired

This is what ai is threatening, glorious

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Muslim Sisters are wonderful people who step up to do the work our government won't. For them to be abused like this is disgusting. I am ashamed of our tricolour today.

I don’t know how to properly describe how surreal it is to be successfully communicated to by Iran through propaganda LEGO videos

GW Bush on a carrier in front of a sign that reads mission accomplished.

All of this has happened before

Sure the contraption that got us to the moon was cool but have you seen

We didn't deserve this day.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I really dont care about how "history will remember this". You stop genocides when they happen. You depose anyone in power who argues for genocide. You throw people who threaten genocide in jail. You do it today. Not wag your fingers in 50 years.

A chairde, just stop reading the Irish Times op-eds.
No good will come of time spent there.
Vote with your subs, spend it on something better.

I would be a lot more into the Artemis II mission if I wasn't far more worried for a further 90 million people about to be obliterated by a madman tomorrow by the very same nation that made the capsule. Really spoils the amazement, not going to lie.

I really do agree with rami here, seeing lots of Americans crooning about this while they rush toward ww3 is profoundly depressing. I'm ashamed to say I've given up staying current on the coverage because it's just too horrible on my mood.

The people who run this website are fucking idiots.

Thank goodness the Geneva convention exists and hasn't been set on fire by any mad pricks in recent times.

This is honestly the first time I've been excited about this moon shit, classic outlook

Play love eternal it's so overlooked

It's my own fault for using ChatGPT as a search tool, but this really made me laugh. "...with an important nuance..." is sublime 🤌

Ibec would want to get a new PR firm, this is nonsense stuff

That second half, it turns out, was actually 45 years
