That guy you know from that other platform. A guy, a news junkie, a research guru, a smartass, a dry wit, a twisted soul, a curator of the obscure and the obscene.

I think the show "Salvage-1" (1979) could be rebooted for a modern audience. Someone builds their own rocket for the purpose of recovering space junk. It's not space tourism, it's junk recovery and cash flow.

Have you ever been talking to someone who has several university degrees and realized they are, in fact, not smart? How did they get those academic credentials when their bulb is far from bright?

The search function on IMDb is broken. Some titles do not appear in a title search, but they are there if you search by the name of an actor and scroll through their filmography.

I just finished watching "Nirvana" (1997), a cyberpunk sci-fi movie with Christopher Lambert ("Highlander"), and it was surprisingly good. It's in Italian, with subtitles. It's the story of a videogame developer whose in-game character becomes self-aware and makes him question his own reality.

A coworker accidentally flashed a boob at me (wardrobe malfunction) and 20 minutes later asked if I was okay with it. Why wouldn't I be okay with it? It was an accident, and I don't get offended easily. Are we expecting folks to be overly sensitive?

Exclusive | RFK Jr. to Oust Advisory Panel on Cancer Screenings, HIV Prevention Drugs The task force determines which preventive services insurers must cover at no cost to patients.

RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF).

This is an independent body of expert scientists who volunteer their time to review data and provide guidance to Americans on important things like cancer screenings.

If I'm doing a favor for you for free, you don't get to rush me. You're on my schedule. If you need me to drop everything to make your project my top priority, I'm going to need some compensation.

Republicans Would Rather Shut Down Congress Than Discuss the Epstein Files The lesson for Democrats is that they should force confrontations, especially when they drive a wedge into the GOP base.

Which would seem strange to you, to see a post that had 100 "likes" but no comments, or to see one that had 100 comments but no "likes"? The latter would strike me suspicious, but I would shrug off the former.

I actually got a little sunburned yesterday, and I don't like it. It's been a while since I was outdoors long enough for my skin to care.

My barber would get so upset at guys who would answer their phone or respond to a text message in the middle of the haircut. I genuinely believe some people don't know how to disconnect for a while.

I love that not all #sharks even undergo TI (tonic immobility) because it makes it even more curious! There's so little info on all of this in general that any new info creates a lot of questions :)

Now ICE will be using facial recognition software on their phones to aid with their arrests. I predict there will be quite a few false-positive identifications.

So now DJT wants to relax the enforcement of the laws that prevent US companies from paying bribes to foreign officials to secure business deals. His logic is that other countries can pay bribes, so why should we restrict our companies from doing so? Sheesh!

Scientists have studied remote work for 4 years and have reached a clear conclusion: working from home makes us happier - Caring Minds United Scientists have spent four years diving deep into the world of remote work and stumbled upon a powerful truth: working from home genuinely makes us

New research from the University of South Australia indicates that remote work leads to happier employees.

Unfortunately for workers, caring about employee happiness was a zero interest rate phenomenon.

No amount of data will change companies wanting RTO so workers can be more easily micromanaged.

In my area, the daily newspaper is now delivered once a week,bundled together and delivered every Saturday. It's no longer profitable to have daily home delivery. They could go 100% digital, but folks would argue that many people wouldn't be able to access the digital edition.

They want to transform the President's Daily Briefing (PDB) into a FOX News-style video that he can watch. He has only received a PDB 14 times since his inauguration, far less than his predecessors. They want to try to spoon-feed it to him as a video.

Is Ai voiceover the same for the younger generation today as mp3s were for GenX and Millennials? I mean, the mp3 audio quality was definitely worse than the CD audio quality, but it was close enough to be tolerable, so we didn't care.

I wrote a post on Threads so radioactive no one will touch it with a comment. [A woman in another post said that going on a date is a financial transaction where the man is expected to spend money, plain and simple. What is the expectation if you're the woman?]

I was just thinking about the fact that my dad used to love Bill Cosby. Hardly a week could pass without him bringing up Cosby in a conversation about something. Dude hasn't mentioned Cosby in years after the sexual assault conviction, even after it was overthrown. Idols fall.

When I purchased my movie ticket, there were no other seats taken on my row, the row below, or the row above. Somehow, a young woman (probably in her 20s) got a ticket for the seat immediately to my left. The rows above and below were still vacant. WTF, y'all?

Some people have to finish telling you the story they started telling even after you show them that it's no longer necessary or relevant because newer facts have come to light. It utterly breaks their brain. It's as if you've torn up their script and prevented them from reciting their lines.

"Andor" (Disney+) was the prequel of a prequel that we didn't need but was definitely worth having.
