@xkcd.com My son posed this one: if you were in an electric car with zero charge, how long of a hill would you need to go down to charge it to 100% purely through regenerative braking?

@timgrierson.bsky.social getting dragged to Tron Ares tonight. Read your Screen International review. By G&L standards was that a C+?

Mostly 2. I watched it for the first time a year ago with my son and couldn't believe how bad the acting was. I get that some if it is broad on purpose, but wow. I do not get the love.

@timgrierson.bsky.social TIm, been meaning to write to tell you that your discussion of watching movies as you age in last week's podcast was terrific. Very thoughtful piece, and really a great example of why I listen to podcasts in the first place. Thank you for that.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Would love to try this, but when I attempt to log in nothing happens. I've generated my app password and plugged it in...hit "Sign in," the entry fields go dark for a second, then nothing. Is there any way to debug this? Thanks.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

@griersonleitch.bsky.social Any particular reason you guys didn't review Moana 2? I was curious which side of the B-/C+ divide it would land on.

Every other sport is (rightly) trying to figure out how to reduce concussions. In boxing the whole point is to concuss your opponent.

Just finished "The Last Days of the Dinosaurs" by @restingdinoface.bsky.social Really enjoyed it. Couple things that'll stick with me: species that evolved over millions of years gone in a day; and the evolutionary concept of diversity driving more diversity. Good stuff!
