Let Him Go (2021) quite good. If 1950s gothic noir western is a sub-genre, it is it

Between the Samsung actual TV and the Apple TV box and the Sony soundbar and all the various remotes and apps … is it any wonder it’s easier to watch a movie on my laptop?

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around Β£10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Should we outlaw SUVs? Over the last decade, global SUV ownership has doubled. In that time, the vehicles contributed more to the increase in global CO2 emissions than airlines, trucks, or heavy industry.

Over the decade ending in 2019, global SUV ownership doubled. β€œIf it keeps growing at its current rate, increased SUV ownership will offset the entire emissions reduction from electric vehicles.” Plus they’re much more likely than smaller cars to kill pedestrians. www.fastcompany.com/90420280/sho...

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

An interesting thing about trench foot is that it basically just requires a wet environment for like 13 hours or so. It can happen at temps above freezing, you just need to have miserably wet feet for long enough.

The people of Iran must be scared out of their minds, hearing Donald Trump say *he* will appoint their new leader, only moments before appointing America's Stupidest Senator, Markwayne Mullins, to run Homeland Security.

where is that one CD I'm looking for that I bought almost 30 years ago? I can't believe it's not in its alphabetic spot on the CD wall of 30-year-old CDs

If things had gone a bit differently, instead of cowboy boots people would be wearing hip waders as fashion, walking around in their fancy rubber suspender pants like what up I got a big fish

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Great to hear that local authorities are proposing acoustic cameras. Overly loud cars and motorbikes are a major source of noise pollution. www.portphillip.vic....

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

just to state the obvious, there are Iranians who welcome the war and there are Iranians who want freedom and not war. same in the Chinese diaspora, there are people who hope the US could "liberate" China and there are people who don't. there are all sorts of people.
