Jacob: The Man And His Dream

he did get voted out of office though

I get what you mean but it very much did make a difference to his re-election

I liked it in Superman, it helped that they spend most of the movie building the impression that the inhabitants of Metropolis are just used to dealing with this sort of thing

I would not have that kind of confidence in a billion being assured were I Feige.

Of course, he can’t really course correct without spending even more money

By my math that puts the break even point at $1.13B.

So it could make a billion dollars and still lose money

respectfully what the fuck does that have to do with anything

“we shouldn’t be providing any journalistic coverage to HPL, even if critical” is one thing, and is a position I respect even if I don’t agree with it

“they wrote a puff piece” is so far from that as to be a straight up lie and I don’t believe you didn’t know that

me when I’m caught making shit up

that is not what you said

characterizing this as a puff piece makes me a little suspect of the rest of what you’re saying

best part of my day is filling my mouth with water in my kitchen and briskly walking across the apartment to swallow the pills i keep in my bedroom. NO i will not put a water glass in the bathroom attached to my bedroom and NO i will not put the pills in my kitchen!!!!! stop asking!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doo-dah
Doo-dah

someone sat down in LA yesterday and the pigs immediately tried to trample him with a horse

Point remains that it absolutely should be patentless and I’ve thought many actionable thoughts driving past the Eli Lilly headquarters over the years.

I mean the insulin still under patent is very useful, it’s formulated to be either fast acting for quick adjustments, or long release for maintaining a good baseline blood sugar

Old school pig insulin is a lot more complicated to dose.

absurd if bluesky does not take the opportunity here to roll out group DMs today even if theyre buggy as hell. twitter is on like more than 12 hours of DMs being completely own

the buoy I cling to is that the money still doesn’t make any fucking sense for all this AI stuff and the bottom has to fall out sooner or later

A coda for Lt. Meero

Andor and Michael Clayton have a thematic throughline, in that both are about a man realizing “oh fuck I’m the protagonist”

My gf works at the Georgia aquarium and I was getting dispatches from the night the convention rented the place out.

strange night

never been a huge fan of the visual style Gunn has settled into since 2020. colors here still kinda look ugly as sin to me

looks good otherwise!

you just don’t know what inflection the man will use syllable to syllable

Those 40 minutes after the team lands on Scarif and before Vader shows up really sing for me though

I never really disliked it but it has big issues and contains many original sins that have haunted Star Wars under Disney’s custody

ANDOR ending with a three episode coda with some of the characters it spent 24 episodes crafting was just perfect. Gonna watch ROGUE ONE again and see if I like it more

Saw is genuinely one of my favorite characters in this whole franchise, and 60% of it is the completely out of left field acting choice Forrest is bringing

illustrates that being a chill buddy and being able to toss back some cold ones with the boys are some of our most powerful tools

Guy I think about a lot is the actor Sterling Hayden. Ran guns to the Yugoslav Partisans as an OSS agent during WW2. Got along so well with them he decided to join CPUSA after the war.

Becoming a card-carrying communist because the hangs are too good.

Projecting for the cheap seats: RECESSION INDICATOR

if Manor Lords has taught me anything its that they did tend to a small garden, its just that it was their side hustle taken care of after the day's work in the grain fields was done lmao

need to post on here more often despite the dire vibes, the cool people I like from twitter are on here
