Any fans of the 1990 film Total Recall?

Favorite Schwarzenneger, hands down. He and Verhoeven were a match made in heaven.

The paragraph that begins with good-hearted small town carnivores and finishes up with the metaphysics of Mage: the Ascension is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen on social media, and I’m saying this as someone who spends a good amount of time on LinkedIn.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

They both kind of sell themselves, don’t they? Running guns out of a florist shop is a gold mine of a business idea.

No, he just goes out the window. It’s ok for the boys to be childish.

It Is Time for Ruthless Aggression The national battle over gerrymandering should be just the first step. Next up: expanding SCOTUS.

“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.”

Same; it hits harder than most episodes because the recency makes it so much closer to home. In my case very much because I also spent a couple years working on the edges of Bay Area tech, and could follow the wild trains of thought at play, to a certain extent. 😬

Excellent, just as the Louvre thieves want you to believe. 😉

Tbf it’s a significant online ideological position that rich assholes are the proper owners of everything in any case.

There needs to be a game mechanism to make sure larger collections are harder to defend, to try to move things towards a more equal balance.

Leftist podcasters are considered organized crime in some circles in this country.

oh it’s fine, it just got me wistfully wishing David Lynch had gotten the chance to do a Muppet movie

Tough but fair.

You’d have hoped Rian Johnson would be a better influence on her. Also David Lynch, who I imagine would have been kind of horrified by all of this.

Would be awesome if he and #TimCurry have joint celebrations this week every year.

I’ve never been much of a gamer, but I 💜ed The Tides of Time as a kid (finally played the original on an emulator during COVID). So many great aspects but the soundtrack was absolutely sick—I enjoy it as much as any 90s electronica I’ve ever heard.

“Gives 110%, receives 0%” is the gay dating profile of a top who’s Trying Too Hard.

The ideal film adaptation would actually be micro budget with no animation or CGI, using human actors with only ear makeup to denote which kind of animal they were (or wing costume in the case of the bird.)

And yes, for the most part they would perform on all fours.

Experimental validation of a method for designing oligonucleotide microarrays.

With what we learn about witch society, I think this kind of disapproval is to be taken as an honour, since it shows that the elders at least acknowledge Magrat as a novice witch, on her way to becoming one of their own. Eventually. After a decade or two of tough love, probably.

The descriptions here about how many men were sitting in a Vegas casino alone gambling on their phones is so bleak.

It's Vegas. Don't bet on your phone. Do classic Vegas things. Lose at craps. Go place a bet with a bookie. Get drunk with 11 friends. Do a casino heist.

Is planning a casino heist the cure for male loneliness

I really hope Jean Teasdale gets a column on the new Infowars dot com

This was also the only major mistake Holmes and Balwani made.

Just wait until the day the userbase riots over which one of them we have to keep in the divorce.

There is something rather special about romances that blossom in tech startups, isn’t there?
