Rogue One is a horrible movie that ended better than it deserved. If you can forgive its grevious sins for a single sequence, then cool. I cannot.

rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

That's the thing about criticism. It teaches you about yourself. What you value, how you feel about certain things, what in a piece of art matters to *you,* specifically.

And the more you do it, the better you understand yourself. It teaches you who you are and what you believe.

A reminder to leave Twitter.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Screw it, I’m installing Linux It’s the year of Linux on my desktop.

The world’s only Jewish state is nothing but a bunch of blood thirsty killers who attack their innocent neighbors, but beware of antisemitic tropes. Heads on a swivel, folks!

This is a function the science division performs. Not sure if there's a specific "librarian" but there is a role on the ship for someone who catalogs data and keeps it up to date with information sent from back home & collected while out. It was one of the older novels, mid to late 90s.

Saruman telling Gandalf, "Your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind." Response post: "never forget when saruman literally told gandalf 'you've been smoking too much weed bro'" Counter-response: "You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

No one should be surprised at this point. Get off X.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Has anyone actually written something on the apparently inability of the reactionary mind to grasp the basic themes and even overt text of Tolkien?

Like at some point Gandalf turns directly to camera and says “the Men of Gondor sure are insufficient to this task, we need the hobbits to do it”

Been gaming on Linux for 2 1/2 years. It's been a far better experience and I have full control of what is running on my PC. Cutting edge hardware works and Intel, Nvidia, and AMD put out drivers for their CPUs & GPUs on Linux very quickly.

You'll be surprised how much you don't miss Windows.

You wanna know why gamers use Steam? Valve is trusted. There’s no shareholders or bullshit quarterly growth goals. There’s no MBA-driven exploitation. They let you buy, download, and play games without forcing ads or scraping your personal data. It’s the inverse of every Silicon Valley company.

As a trans woman, I love the way my allies treat Harry Potter casting announcements as if those actors died in a plane crash.

One note: this is AI bullshit.

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.

Mussolini is dead

Hitler is dead

Nazis hang

Reynard Heidrich's last ride

No Kings

Absolutely not. Give #Linux a try :)

"The liberty and security of our fellow citizens is our great object, and not the prompt execution of the laws. Indecision, delay, blunders, nay villainous actions in the administration of government, are trifles compared to legalizing the full exertion of a tyrannical disposition."

NVIDIA and OpenAi:

Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“

I had hoped this place would be better than Mastodon, but part of me is looking around and wondering if I just wanna head back there.

If you think I’m overreacting to what is happening - this is in Portland.

Those are dudes on the roof shooting indiscriminately into a crowd of peaceful protestors.

F anyone who supports this.

Musk supports this. Wants this.

If you support musk is any way - this is on you. This is you.

All these articles positing Tilly Norwood as a star and wondering when the first A.I. actor will win an Oscar are being brought to you by the same tech-bro companies who are spending billions to normalize this shit. Ignore. Create. Use your soul. It’s all we have—and it’s all we need to create Art.

I'm mad about a lot of things (ha! ha!) but the sheer number of journalists who wrote "There are no plans to implement Project 2025" under the grounds of "well, Trump says there aren't, so..." and still have jobs is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up there

If I had to guess WHY Tim Epic wants to cut support for blueprints, it would be one reason:

Programmers hate blueprints.

This is a catch-all reason, but in light of recent politics, it includes "blueprints are impossible for ai to parse."

If you have a hard-on for ai, blueprints = bad 🤷

RFK Jr.-Backed Vaccine Panel Advises Against MMRV Vaccine for Young Children New members of a key committee tweak routine childhood vaccine guidance as some states and insurers go their own way.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

You assume they’ve read the Bible.
