I mean there's High Stakes and Space Heroism but also our protagonist is Extremely Reluctant and there is a lot of Goofing so it's a good balance.

I enjoyed it! Similar good vibes as The Martian, people cooperating and saving the day with Science and Friendship. :>

OK yes that was very fun and also Astronaut Feelings.

Some part of my reason for seeing the movie today is that @misterpebbles.bsky.social has recently added Ryland Grace and Rocky to his blorbo collection, and there are many PHM memes and fanarts from Tumblr that he has been patiently waiting to show me.

OK the credits are rolling, the four people in the audience have wandered out, the member of staff with a dustpan and brush has been in and out, time to assume my seat.

(Daytime weekdays win for the almost-private screening experience.)

Confuse confuse confuse.

Oop, apparently an earlier showing on a different screen had a problem with the projector and they had to move it to the screen where I'm going to be seeing it, so I just bumbled into a dark room five minutes before the end of the movie. :D

Yeah i don't think they pat you down or anything.

Anyway I am excited for the rock-crab/human sci-fi asexual rom-com movie. :>

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Finally going to see Project Hail Mary this afternoon and was toying with the idea of treating myself to some popcorn as well, then I checked the concession prices and £8.99 for a small popcorn LOL fuck offfff.

Fascinating how the narrative in the 90's was that nerds were the downtrodden good guys, and we come to the present, and a handful of male nerds are perhaps the most powerful and dangerous bullies in human history.

Becoming pointlessly argumentative to prove I'm not AI.

Not only right, but also correct and astute!

AIs been around as a buzzword talking point for under 5 years.... Like there is logistically No Way everyone's using it. It's all bullshit. NOBODY I know would ever use it like???

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Foggy morning below the Tsemm Galtage Energy and Atmosphere mound, November 6th 2524

ME: How's it look?

MECHANIC LOOKING UNDER MY IMAGINATION'S HOOD: *wiping hands on a rag* I see your problem. You've been filling this thing up with despair when it's supposed to run on joy.

Modern-day dungeoncrawl setting just dropped.

Non-sequitur so not even like "i wish i was in ur bed biting the shit out of u~"? Booo, go to the phantom zone.

furry artists who have been doing nothing but a niche kink comic hosted on their own site for the last 12 years suddenly opening comms

i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Some people have misunderstood this.

We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible.

This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

Because people are realizing that "convenience" means paying a shitload of money to basically rent a movie or song you never own and everyone is tired of it. I'm not even a physical media stan and I think it's pretty obvious and makes all the sense in the world

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

we long to have physical media we actually own, that has greater financial benefit to the artists & creatives behind it, and that it cannot be arbitrarily taken away by a streaming service for either artificial scarcity or political censorship

If it was built before a certain date there's a good chance the answer is yes, but as long as you don't go smashing stuff into dusty particles it should be OK?

I don't think so, and unfortunately I don't have a Geiger counter either.
