It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
Best pitch for an unmade movie I've ever heard is Margot Robbie and Elijah Wood starring as a couple honeymooning in Europe when they get mistaken for a pair of world class assassins played by Samara Weaving and Daniel Radcliffe.
Hijinx ensue.
wiki screen shot describing a production incident in which ronald reagan was nearly killed by the chimp on set
lol holy shit i'm reading the wiki for Bedtime for Bonzo (1951) starring Ronald Reagan and look how close a chimp came to altering the history of the entire goddamn planet
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Oh man, Jeff and now you are raving about this. Looks like this just jumped to a must see.
Drew, have you heard or read of Artificial Wisdom by Thomas Weaver? Good read. Crazy how real life catches up to fiction.
oh wow, is Garnett a co host or is this a weekly guest type of thing?
According to a study from the National Alliance to End Homelessness, it would cost the government an additional $9.6 billion per year to end homelessness in the US by providing Rapid Re-Housing / Permanent Supportive Housing to individuals in shelters.
But sure, this is better.
Wachowskis, look its Speed Racer death race!
You want 1984's The Nothing of Never Ending Story fame to play the Super Bowl? Deep cut, but alright.
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
Planning on reading this next after finishing up the Sun Eater series.
jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

Still need to see about 2 or 3 films that I'm interested in, but here's where I placed 2025's crop. boxd.it/QdFR6
Here's my first shot at editing movie related montages. I think I may have plans for more.
Thank you! So much to learn still, but it was fun
Make it viral.
I did it! youtu.be/lj25e8xjsvE?...
I look forward to this every year, so much so, I am editing my own video for the first time. What you do is its own little art form.
Today my six-year-old put his head against his brother’s and said “let’s connect ponytail weiners” so don’t tell me Avatar has no cultural footprint.
It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.
It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

here's how time works:
GenX hated Blockbuster Video bcz it destroyed so many indie video stores.
Millennials loved Blockbuster Video for the same reason GenX loved the indie video stores.
Now we're both the same. We all miss our childhood video stores.
If I was Travis, I'd take Taylor's last name. Travis Swift is a much cooler Football name. Also to piss off the MAGA bros. Win win.
Generative AI has helped me to understand why, in Star Wars, the droids seem to have personalities but are generally bad at whatever they're supposed to be programmed to do, and everyone is tired of their shit and constantly tells them to shut up
Seeing a lot of “Andor is the best SW thing since the OT.”
It’s not. It’s the best Star Wars has EVER been. It’s better than Star Wars has any right to be. And the timing of its message couldn’t be any more prescient or poignant.
Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.
This whole clip is truly unbelievably great. I am genuinely astounded by how good this is.
