My TBR list is so long I could stop adding books to it and still not run out of things to read for at least 20 years. And that assumes not re reading anything.

This is true for all industries not just movies. Without entry level engineers now, you don't have experts later

he mentions how, even if AI can accomplish something (which he also mentions it doesn’t get it), it halts any progress of the craft in the future source: youtu.be/jiTS9LclmeM?...

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Aviation Interior Safety Engineer: Aisle spacing and seat-to-sest clearances are critical for evacuation.

When Maleficent turns into a dragon in Sleeping Beauty. As far as child me was concerned the movie could end after the birthday party

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Pro tip! The less you post about "Lake America," the less written evidence of its use there is, and the less likely any reputable dictionary company will enter it into their dictionaries. ONLY *YOU* CAN PREVENT BAD LEXICOGRAPHY

One that @garius.bsky.social loves to use to break my brain: Orville Wright flew both the Wright Flyer and the Lockheed Constellation.

Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net

this is always one of the msot insane factoids for me. wright brother's first flight was in 1903. apollo 11 was in 1969. if you were 20 in 1903, you were 86 in 1969. assuming you still had your marbles, you could have watched man go from flightless to THE FUCKING MOON in your lifetime

No Delta. Under aircraft details I'd actually like to know what the plane is (Realized after that it's under the main flight header, but still....)

It's really hard to watch things set on airplanes. It's almost better when it's obviously a set, but when they use an actual fuselage I spend the whole time trying figure out whose plane it used to be.

I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.

Replying to @courtneymilan.com

It is going to be easier for Democrats win by telling the racist white women to fuck off than by telling Black people, Hispanic people, and queer people to fuck off.

We have so many hot sauces, chile crisps, etc. It's so nice to tailor heat level and profile to what you're eating. One the other hand we only have two mustards, Dijon and Grainy.

"But you don't sound like you live in NC." Well.... I didn't grow up here, but if you want I can talk like I stepped out of Gone with the Wind.

I have a lot (A LOT) of thoughts on this, but Stephen has said it very well. So... thread ⏬️

Stephen Blackmoore@stephenblackmoore.com

One problem a lot of companies have is that management is seen as a career progression rather than as an entirely separately skillset. "We need to give Bob, who's a great programmer, a promotion. Let's make him a manager!" Only Bob has no softskills and his empathy is, shall we say, lacking.

Here is me, pleading with museum shops. We do not want yet another bookmark and eraser with your logo for 11 euros. We. Want. Replicas. Of. Your. Nerdy. Stuff.

I really want some knock offs of these medieval socks from Egypt (12th century CE?) at the GWU Textile Museum. collections-gwu.zetcom.net/en/collectio...

Considering Angela Lansbury was a Libra this tracks

Libra: You will successfully continue your years-long killing spree in the sleepy town of Cabot Cove, pinning the murders on local patsies, and all who suspect the truth.

I will also be completely loyal to a hotel chain that let's me rent a weighted blanket

Next to the bed in a hotel room should be a light switch that turns off ALL the lights in the room. ALL of them

Flat bread (soft or crisp) with stuff on it or to dip.

Interrupting our collective doomscrolling to ask the public what the best global culinary creation is. By that, I mean what is your favorite type of dish that was somehow made by every society in some form? Mine is the dumpling.

Do I understand that raw flour is potentially bad for you? Yes. Am I still going to lick the bowl/spoon every time I make cookies or muffins? …Also yes. (Yes, I know I could bake it first to make it safe, but I’m not doing that, lol.)
