This insanely disconnected from reality. The Arab world did't experience "the dark ages" unlike Europe. It is only because of the knowledge, science, & medicine brought (mostly stolen) to Europe from them that the Renaissance even happened. I would say it's ragebait, but he's too stupid to do it

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

You 40? Get your cholesterol checked. Have a history of heart disease in your fam? Get a calcium scan of your arteries. Do you smoke? Stop. Eat plants. Lots of them. Move your body. My father had a double bipass open heart surgery when he was 48 & he's still with us. Fuck heart disease.

I wonder if the Avatar writers are taking some inspiration from Brandon Sanderson with spiritual pools (or fonts) gathering in the material world? Or if it's just spooky goo.

We have to start shaming people for using the phrase, "broke the internet" or any of its variations. It's a level of hubris that I just can't stand. No one person or event can ever break the internet. Get over yourself.

People really don't understand how much we've moved away from a monoculture. There used to be mass cultural touchstones. The incredible diversity of culture is an amazing thing, but it must be understood that no matter the popularity, you're probably in a bubble.

Indoor plumbing quietly advanced so that the shower doesn't get scalding hot when someone flushes a toilet. Pressure is far more consistent too.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Hell yeah! They only make $500 a game. That's $10,000 a season. For a multi-billion dollar franchise. That's fucking shameful. Every player for the Cowboys should be ashamed. The starting salary for an NFL waterboy is $53,000/yr. Cheerleaders are athletes. They put in the work. Fucking pay them.

NEWS: the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unionized and the Cowboys have agreed to recognize the union

About damn time NYC! Thank you for finally banning horse carriages. There's a really cool opportunity for electric motor driven carriages with clockwork (or other stylized) "horses" to pull tourists &/or romantics around the park. All without the smell, danger, & cruelty.

Ah, once again the internet is confusing personal taste and quality. Liking something doesn't make it "good". Disliking something doesn't make it "bad". Also, can we please drop the hipster nonsense of performatively disliking things that become popular? That sucked in 2007 and sucks today.

Well shit. Just like movies: an unreleased game that lives in the imagination will always be "perfect", whereas a real game has to actually satisfy expectations. But damn, that's one hell of a cinematic. Choice vibes.

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

Since Vaatu was purified by Korra and merged back with Ravaa, I do wonder if that's connected to the cataclysm. With the Vaatu/Ravaa cycle being inherent, was Korra seeking a more permanent balance between them to bring stability to both Spiritual & Material planes? Questions questions!

SeveredSpirit ❀@spiritsevered.bsky.social

Some parts of the Avatar Fandom are saying Pavi has Vaatu as The Dark Avatar sealed within her & Nisha is with The Light Avatar as Ravaa- 💀 Like are you not paying attention to the clues?¿? 😵‍💫 Not that it makes it better for either one of them or anything, but the details ARE there... 😣😭

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Much like Hollywood (my industry), the AAA gaming space has been stripped and sold for parts. All in the name of short term gains. And, just like Hollywood, it ends in industry suicide. HOWEVER, just like Hollywood, the Indie space will thrive. Unfortunately, indie also means professionals starve.

It's good to remember that the internet is not really real. Except when it is... Remember Kai, the drifter kid who saved that woman by attacking her attacker with a hammer? He was later found guilty of murdering a dude. I think about that a lot.

RomComs are essentially Screwball Comedies. Get that witty dialog & great chemistry all mixed up in a ridiculous situation; then let Adam Driver commit hard to the bit. Should be an easy sell.

Once again, I offer to take the reigns of a studio. I'll do it for a $2 million a year salary and a 2 year contract.

With Bela Bajaria and Dan Lin both out and the stock price below $70, all eyes are on what Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos will do to right the ship.

Rumors are empty promises. Hell, even announcements aren't sure things anymore. Cool of true, but I'll get excited when there's a release date. (Even if that gets pushed).

I was really worried that the lady in front of me at the Chrono Trigger Orchestra tonight was going to play pokemon go during the entire thing. She did play up until the first note of the concert. Madness.

I believe in the deepest and most profound way that all people should feel welcomed and encouraged to attend the theater. No matter if it's a concert, play, opera, symphony, ballet, etc. But also, everyone needs to observe the absolute basic theater etiquette: Turn your phone off and shut up.

Humans made Art before writing, before civilization, before agriculture. It is quite possible that we made Art before we were human. It is innate to our being.

Currently seated for the new Sense and Sensibility. The novelty popcorn bucket is surreal. You can grab popcorn from Jane Austen’s open mouth. The lace was a nice touch though.

I refuse to block adult content because so much that gets tagged as such just isn't. But it's funny that the Discover tab will be like: "Here's sexy a naked man for you." Oh, thanks but that's not why I'm here. Show me less like this. "Ok, here's a sexy naked woman for you!" Again, thanks but...

Got a new fancy sever gig, the first day that was supposed to be training but in retrospect was a trial (definitely illegal). I was so tired, worked through the breakfast, was being drilled on the lunch menu and couldn't keep my eyes open. Was told to go. Then slept for 20 hours when I got home.

No musician would even say this. The amazing thing about music is that you can learn any time. And it's never been EASIER to learn music. You have access to unlimited free training online. You can find decent & affordable instruments. You can find brand new instruments and genes like never before!

No insurance company will insure a Fan Car in their current iteration. The amount of property damage alone from rocks & detritus being shot out the back would be bankrupting. Now consider the harm to living beings. The law will catch up to it, but the insurance companies want to keep their money.
