What’s the over-under of the movie being a dream? Gotta be higher than 50/50

My mom really liked the show Airwolf so we binged that together. Only one episode of when it switched networks because they literally killed everybody from the old show off and didn’t even have access to the helicopter

Wasn’t that basically the plot of Pacino’s Simone?

We don’t

Businesses do

And politicians don’t work for the people. Pretty sure that’s been official since Citizens United

Trying Unpopular Social Medias
Trying Unpopular Social Medias YouTube video by Danny Gonzalez

When Musk bought X everybody was asking β€œwhat’s the next Twitter?” Now more of us are aware of Enshittification and weighing options

It’s like the South Park where they burn down Wal-Mart to shop local, only to have to burn that down, too

Discord shot themselves in the foot with age verification

β€œLook, that guy was like my own personal baby Hitler of not punching my wife in the face. In my mind I’m a hero!” 🫑

I’m just curious, once they’re done picking fights with enemies, how long until they do a Preemptive Strike on an ally so maybe we finally forget about those Epstein Files this time πŸ€”

Why 'Metropolis', Fritz Lang's Silent Movie, Still Defines Sci‑Fi 100 Years Later
Why 'Metropolis', Fritz Lang's Silent Movie, Still Defines Sci‑Fi 100 Years Later YouTube video by DW History and Culture

Watched this video about Metropolis, the silent German expressionist film from 1927 about the year 2026

Where the ultra-wealthy live in leisure off the backs of exploited workers, the state inches toward dictatorship with mass surveillance and bosses make video calls

Reminds me I saw this thumbnail the other day

Took me a minute to get the context the OP was talking about

Something about the image of two tall, similarly prominent buildings beside each other like that must have had predominant symbolism in my mind

Was wondering the other day, what became of the situation with severely overworked and understaffed US air traffic controllers?

I’ve been out of the states a few years and know it got buried under all the other zone-flooding

Apparently recruitment numbers were hit but training quality questionable

The email summaries β€œyou have unread messages!”

Every new site I go to is like β€œoh should we activate notifications for you??”

You most certainly shall NOT. It’s bad enough having to remove myself from useless newsletters. Don’t need random web pages pinging me, too

Don’t get me started on YT making subscriptions useless. β€œRing that bell!”

No😑

I agree, except EVERYTHING is a personal vendetta for him

Like I have trouble believing he does anything that isn't entirely personally motivated. If it's part of the job description but doesn't directly benefit him, stroke his ego, or let him rage at something, he probably doesn't do it

First Time Hearing RANCID! Bass Teacher REACTS to β€œMaxwell Murder” - WHAT Just Happened?? YouTube video by Low End University

Something fun I stumbled onto recently is this bass instructor rediscovering punk rock. It's refreshing to see his genuine appreciation. Too many folks who learn an instrument enough to teach it don't like what they're unfamiliar with

I've heard from multiple folks, weary of mental health, (even those supposedly in the mental health field) that "that's just how you are"

How I am doesn't define who I am or what I want to be

Learning why I understand and interact with the world the way that I do is very empowering

I've heard decent things. Think it's because MacFarlane is a big Star Trek fan. Like with Galaxy Quest/Lower Decks, if you poke fun at something you love it shows both authenticity and admiration

BibleWalk and Living Bible Museum, Mansfield, Ohio Open since 1987. It's like walking through a wax Bible -- populated by Hollywood star dummies in cameo roles.

Why do I feel like they wouldn’t make Night At The Museum at home as good as my home town would? www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2187

@ironspike.bsky.social I read Toxic Fan Cycle like Anakin Skywalker embracing the Dark Side

Also, since I can’t reply to skeets, I’ll throw in there’s a Tinned Fish Reviews TikTok that has attempted SurstrΓΆmming three times

Calling it that makes me want to confuse it with Star Trek: Prodigy

I just learned about Star Trek: Scouts, which is literally a shiny Star Trek preschool YouTube show by Nick Jr. and don’t know how to feel about that
