Baskin Robbins makes 32 flavors because people like me were mystified by the clamor around Firefly. Great actors but there was very little about the show itself that felt believable to me.
Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

kevinrkirk 2d @ Threads Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5. (Drawing of chopping of part of land) suahuatica 2d MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.
Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.

I've seen very few of these but Cuckoo and The Vast of Night are both terrific in different ways.

Why are they trying (once again) to revive this Lost Cause-y Gamergate Space Western when Thundarr is *right there*

As Terry at Wordplay used to say, "Your odds are not 1 out of 30 specs. Your odds are 100% or 0%. It's either 'buy this now' or PASS. Nothing else."
Oh yes! Let's talk about this!
"A reasonable conclusion is that most screenplays submitted to the Black List website are competent but not exceptional, and those that are exceptional are quite rare (which roughly mirrors what most of us know instinctively if we’ve read a lot of screenplays)."
Trying to convince my salad-loving wife that carrot soup is just salad with a lot of dressing.
Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs
In fact, I think our society is engineered to elevate terrible people to wealth and power.

In other news; The Regicide Report is incredibly good.
I, too, think tens of thousands of people should go to prison because sometimes I smell something I don't like
I tried to like it but it was too much work.
I understand. Sorry.
Sold.
I had to search out who that is and now I have knowledge and regret.
