Nothing Edifying

Very silly, but I'm wondering which of the other streaming platforms with a plus will follow suit. The big ones are AMC+, Disney+, and Paramount+.

I bet Disney will be the holdout.

A meme of Anakin Skywalker and Padme talking, with subtitles. In Panel 1, Anakin says, 'I've been learning about recursion.' In Panel 2, Padme says, 'It's easy to understand, right?' In Panel 4, Padme has a confused reaction. Panel 3 is the entire four-panel image recursively shrunk to fill Panel 3. Within it, we can also see another, smaller, Panel 3, with the entire image repeated again, in the Droste effect. It continues in smaller and smaller recursive panels.

Just a reminder that my book about Castrovalva is available now! obversebooks.co.uk/product/77-c...

If you see this, post a robot.

Mother from Raised by Wolves is my favorite Ridley Scott android by a mile, beating out so many other great milk-blooded androids and replicants. Amanda Collin deserves more love.

One of those days where a comment by the leader of an infamous cult shows up in my Facebook Memories.

If I had a nickel for every cult leader I knew before they led a cult, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

any culture, at any point in history, could have invented darude’s sandstorm. the fact that they didn’t is just further proof that old times were busted generally

Aferah, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a woman in profile standing on a desert. Framing her head is a gold sun like a halo, and her long dark hair becomes the night sky behind her, with two pale moons among the stars. On one hand she holds a 4 leaf clover and on another a gold cup tilted down, a gold river pouring from it.

Aferah, for a personal project, 2017

Nine movies into my October movie marathon, and still no nightmares!

I dearly love this imperfect platform, but I do wish the Discover feed was purely people I don't follow (yet).

I understand the value of a catch-all, but it's untidy!

map illustrating the native range of Venus Flytrap plants, just a little half circle around coastal North and South Carolina in USA

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

What is the name of your least favorite child?

In what year did you abandon your dreams?

What is the maiden name of your father's mistress?

It would be very funny if Dolly Parton weighed in on this and said, "I love this cartoon, Elon Musk. When I'm a ghost, I will haunt YOU."

Dead End: Paranormal Park was an absolute treasure, by the way.

It's about a haunted Dollywood where the Dolly Parton is voiced by Miss Coco Peru.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

Getting mad about a show that ended in 2022 because it had a trans protagonist is really, really embarrassing behavior.

Cats are better than children because i cannot in good consciousness name children after unethical science. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

should I start a bsky book club? one book a month, say, and then we do a big megathread to discuss it.

You love the things you love so well that it's a joyful experience to read your thoughts about them.

Watching Psycho (1960) from my sickbed. It’s my favorite film ever and I think the scariest part is how Marion turns on the shower while standing directly under the spray. No warm up, no temp check. Just raw.

1) every year we all get to vote on which classic story gets made into a muppet movie

2) every year you guys make that muppet movie

3) we will ALL go see every one of these

4) you will never not profit from this

5) why are we not doing things this way

Most of the peoples of Hyrule seem incredibly adaptable to ecological change, evolving rapidly, but Gorons never change from Skyward Sword all the way to Wind Waker.

They're the giant pandas of the Zelda series, always teetering on extinction.

While we all wait years for the next #KDH, Ejae, Audrey, and Rei should just start recording new songs and touring as IRL Huntr/x to fill out the fictional back catalog.

And now I'm reminded of The Last Airbender (2010), where different members of the cast pronounced “avatar” as AV-uh-tar (ævətaɹ), AHV-uh-tar (avətaɹ), and UHV-uh-tar (ʌvətaɹ) for no reason.

Special (TV series) - Wikipedia

When two characters occupy the same narrative and are *related*, but they pronounce words differently for no given plot reason, I get derailed and need to know whyyy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special...

I watched a show years ago where the main character pronounced cerebral palsy as suh-REE-bruhl (səɹibɹəl), but the actress playing his mother pronounced it SEH-ruh-bruhl (sɛɹəbɹəl).

Both are accepted pronunciations, but it was a bit of a suspension-of-disbelief breaker.

Fluvid should rhyme with sous-vide.

It’s high time to get your flu and COVID shots scheduled! This will maximize your resistance at both the predicted seasonal peaks.

Remember to schedule it when you’ve got a recovery day available in case they knock you flat on your ass.

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.

Wow, capitalism sure turned out to be a bad idea, didn't it?

I wish it wasn't so very rude to ask people if they really read the articles they post here, or just the headline.
