It would have been nice if Jared Leto wasn't in it and it wasn't perfect, but the new Tron isn't as bad as people are acting like it was. It was pretty good and had the types of feelings and themes you want a Tron movie to have. Also Greta Lee was a good hero.

Somehow my computer is worth more than I paid for its component parts, multiple years later. That feels so unnatural. PCs are supposed to be garbage 2 years later.

You can always watch Tom Hanks on SNL with Bruce Springsteen as the musical guest, hosting a week after the 92 LA Riots, do a monologue bit where he re-enacts Joe Pesci in Goodfellas with Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, and Mike Myers because Joe Pesci had to cancel to finish shooting Home Alone 2.

It seems like a mission to experimentally alter an asteroid's orbit would be a lot more useful as a motivating goal than going to Mars or a moon base.

Every time I look at the internet now I get the impression I'm watching a couple of international chess grand masters who joined an intelligence service instead of playing chess go up against people who don't know that they're playing chess, much less how to see a fork coming a few moves away.

During the Cretaceous North America was split into two parts by the western interior seaway. Some of the most famous dinosaur species like T-Rex and Triceratops have only ever been found in Laramidia. So they probably evolved on and were unique to the island like Kangaroos and Wombats are to Aus.

If Sean Baker wins Best Original Screen Play, Best Editing, Best Director, and Best picture that's going to be insane. Walt Disney is the only other person to have won 4 in 1954 but that was for 4 random documentary and shorts categories with 4 different movies.

I remember trying to learn graphic design from books in the 90s and early 2000s thinking there was some objective principal to it and all the designs were just this.

Really happy to see Anora winning at the DGAs and PGAs, it's such a beautiful film that manages to be hilarious, thrilling, biting, and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Every semantic concept is an n-dimensional attractor created by our brains to make sense of noisy dynamic inputs. The attractor does exist, but specific instances can only ever be some distance from the attractor, there's a threshold where a pattern either snaps to that attractor, or it doesn't.

I always go to my climbing gym before or after they open since members have 24/7 access. So somehow I missed that the gym is closing forever tonight at 10pm until just now. Cool.

Best Picture just dropped.

Being a software person who really believed in the internet as a way to connect people and make knowledge and creativity available to everyone feels a bit like being Celebrimbor and watching Sauron use the rings to subjugate and bring ruin and pain to the kingdoms of men, elves, and dwarves.
