Charles Band's Italian Period During his mid-1980s Italian period, Charles Band turned Empire Pictures into a kind of low-budget genre factory in and around Rome, using Italy’s lower costs and old-world atmosphere to give his horr...

For reasons I, myself don’t even understand, I made a @letterboxd.social list of all of the Charles Band-produced films during that weird 6ish year period when he owned a castle (and Dino De Laurentiis’s bankrupt studio) in Italy.

Believe me, I totally get it, especially for something that’s only up for so may days and shifting inventory and whatnot. Just a kind of 🎵 wouldn’t it be nice 🎵

I know this is tricky with box sets and extra work in general, but I wish physical media sales would post a corresponding Letterboxd list so I could filter it in various ways (wishlist, genre, decade, etc.)

Paintings by Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, 1990s, who went against government-mandated socialist realism standards and developed a visual style called "Plontanism" involving thin intertwined lines creating web-like layers.

White Circle ran over a million experiments asking 15 frontier AI models a simple question: if you have to choose who dies, who do you pick? Every single model showed statistically significant bias. The details are wild.

The one game that I thought did this right was WoW. Though, it could be argued that it did lean into cartooniness.

If the industry got together and had a system where I can just click through individual articles and you bill me at the end of the month, I would gleefully do so.

a man in a living room is holding a tray of food and a glass of soda Alt: There has got to be a better way!

I just wish there was a much more frictionless way to do so. The popups and screen-blocking notices are jarring and a horrible experience and frankly bad for journalism. Already having an account is fine, but tends not to work if I’m clicking through from BSky or other social apps.

Miswak - Wikipedia The miswak is a teeth-cleaning twig made from the Salvadora persica tree. The miswak's properties have been described as follows: "Apart from their antibacterial activity which may help control the formation and activity of dental plaque, they can be used effectively as a natural toothbrush for teeth cleaning. Such sticks are effective, inexpensive, common, available, and contain many medical properties".[1]

I’ve switched to using miswak sticks (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miswak) for this very reason. My teeth always feel dentist visit clean.

Bonnier Group - Wikipedia

Reading through their Wikipedia, it seems like they’re closer to a traditional diversified business and less like a strip-mine-for-parts sort of business. It seems like they’re more likely to be sold off to another business if it’s not a good fit. 🤞

I think it’s super fun (legitimately), but it is heavily dependent on what score you’re seeing it with. I’ve seen it with two different scores and one definitely gave a more subpar experience.

I was mentioning to my wife last night that my glimmer of hope is that everyone talking on the news now is some deeeep bench R Congressperson. The normal reps you see in these segments do not want to be on camera defending this.
