I own my own home, but oof- no illusions about the economy & I don't think anybody's ready for oil crisis '26.
I've already gotten into the habit of only taking my car out for necessities, like it's wartime (which it now unironically is). 😒
yah it's not the sci-fi dream of some ethically obsessed madmen w/ideas for improving society, it's the absolute worst low life spoiled brats upending the economy w/services no one wants.
anyway, will miss you all next week. see ya 💙
Face of Another was interesting, didn't love it tho.
arg, I bricked my OS. logged in over at my folks right now.
hope I can recover my files from my old drive when I get it up & running again. gotta be the 3rd time I've done this w/no backup. stoopid! 😖
Post your favorite film from the year you turned 18 #FilmSky 📽️
old me would say The Fly or Mona Lisa, but 18 year old me picking from the films I actually saw in the theater that year?
Something Wild 😅
yep, New Deal type stuff. infrastructure, social safety nets, food/medical/mental health/daycare programs...
we ought to be building a new power grid right now. idiotic to build so many data centers w/out one. we can only go 15% over capacity. China can go 100% over (AI "race", lol ).
'Spring cleaning'...
it really angers me that there's no transparency about it.
I think there should be a mandatory 'AI GENERATED CONTENT: FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY' watermark on every video, song, piece of art, etc.
& no AI should be publishing papers in any discipline requiring a degree. 😠
well, it was a lot easier back then.
btw @everyscififilm.bsky.social the retro sci-fi AI youtube slop is real... noticed this channel recently. it's hosted by a guy named "Mark". almost fooled me till I noticed Mark's posted 90 videos in 90 days.🤔 www.youtube.com/@OldSciFiMov...
yah the disinformation was real. my mom still believes the black panthers were a violent mob who were shooting white people in the street. 🙄
this is your captain calling, w/an urgent warning

the most frustrating aspect of this case is because their closeted relationship became public knowledge in a sensational way, their deaths were incorrectly deemed a hate crime & it sent the investigation down the wrong path for years.
the killer just liked killing women.
😂
