They didn't even crop it on his wikipedia lol, they were just like "here's this guy and also the Woz"

My favourite concern trolls are the “maybe Hegseth didn’t know Pharisees are Jews & it was totally unintentional” crew. He said “Pharisee Press”. I’m not a scholar of the Christian Bible but I’m fairly certain that there isn’t anything in the Gospels about the Pharisees publishing newspapers.

Feels appropriate that this is a cropped pic of him standing next to Steve Wozniak lol

Rewatched this video today, while I think people are starting to turn on the Sony model of Open World games, I think people are unprepared for how many bad impersonations of RGG quirk we will see in the AAA sphere over the next decade or so

It's kind of corny but starting For All Mankind at the same time as the Artemis II mission has basically completely restored my childhood love of space that had basically been ground out of me by the past 10-15 years

Making my debut at Filmmaker Mag, I had a great, in depth chat with director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei on their excellent new film, Faces of Death. One of my favorites of the year, check it out below!

Portable DBZ Fighting Games YouTube video by TheSeventhForce

DBZ fighting games have been around since at least the early 90s, but their migration to handheld platforms coincided with the series' boom in popularity in the west in the early 2000s. Here's an hour long retrospective on all of the games that make up DBZ's fighting game history on portables.

And similarly there isn't really any world building questions that remain unanswered in each season which is why everything feels so start stop and why having a big epic conclusion that "wraps everything up" feels kind of wrong

I've thought this since season 1 and unfortunately season 2 didn't dissuade me. The worst part is they barely do anything with the non anthology structure as it is, most every character has a complete arc that ends at the end of each season so that there's no worry of stuff being incomplete

Season 2 was when it really became apparent because the one or two hanging threads from season 1 are completely resolved and the only real hook for future seasons is a completely perfunctory "monsters are still out there!" tease and what was, to that point, the worst episode of the show

Only the third one!

I'm using Lost here as a bit of a synecdoche here, but generally Stranger Things is pretty much always written to avoid typical TV pitfalls and was incredibly reactive to criticism, for better or for worse

I mean I don't have like proof of that beyond the fact that basically every season before it ties everything up into the neatest bow and is pretty allergic to leaving unanswered questions, which makes the concept of a grand final season pretty much impossible because nothing has been built up

I know no one gaf anymore but did anyone ever do any writing about how part of the reason the Stranger Things finale was bad was because the whole show was designed with a single-minded obsession for not recreating the disappointment around the ending to Lost

Every time I contemplate checking out Dune from the library for a reread I see it's some terrible cover and just don't even bother lol

Genuinely do not understand this design trend, it universally makes covers less appealing. I feel reluctant to even check out books with minimalist covers from the library much less buy them

We left the path of righteousness when a paperbacks stopped having kickass cover paintings of a dragon or a space station or dude with a sword or dude in a spacesuit seeing a weird alien or dude with a sword fighting a weird alien, or a guy in modern clothes seeing a dragon or a dragon in modern clo

Super not a fan of the people who feel that now is the time that we all need a reminder that the Iranian government is bad.

If you were consistent in how you evaluate state actors (or if you were an anarchist, but I repeat myself) it would be so banal an observation as to be suspect in its timing.

Apple tv+ | For All Mankind - opening credits (2019) YouTube video by zeta

A lot of streaming shows try to do the Game of Thrones thing but they often feel just kind of perfunctory, the minimalist space age deco here really works and the song itself is so beautiful, that final note fully captures the fragile optimism of the show

Started watching For All Mankind, absolutely incredible show about everything, both technological and political that goes into space launches, and a damning indictment of American imperial ego. Also has maybe my favorite theme song of the streaming era

There is, still, good news~

Shocking amount of OC kids from the 80s did this too
