Finally watched "Hamnet" and holy moly this year's Oscar nominations are just amazing. Still have a few more to watch but everything's been tremendous.

And everyone I know that collects Criterion and other boutique media are EXCITED about this announcement. Haven't heard a single negative comment from a person I actually know. Wondering if the trolls & bots are at skewing things

I absolutely don't get the hate. Everything about this is brilliant if you love cinema and want to see the craft expand. And Netflix doing 2 physical releases is awesome!

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

More footage- Student led peaceful protest in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The police chief showed up in plain clothing and assaulted two students.

Remember when Microsoft / Xbox decided to make the Xbox One some sort of weird home media center controller with discs locked to DRM? Hard to believe that was 13 years ago... And I don't think I care about "Xbox" now. I care about the studios they've acquired, the IPs, the history. Enjoy it all now

We were talking about circle of fifths root movement in class today. I played a quadruple plagal cadence (C, G, D, A, E) and asked if it sounded familiar. Someone immediately identified as "Time Warp" from Rocky Horror. The kids are alright.

@mikemcmahan.bsky.social I'm rewatching Lower Decks, just finished the Season 3 finale, and I've got to know... How much of this did you & the team have written in advance? So many great setups & pay-offs!! Seems like you went into Season 1 with a pretty detailed multi-year plan.

Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has β€œHollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement.

Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.

Roger Corman recycled the effects and score from another space movie, and then got the writer of Deathstalker and 11 episodes of Care Bears to write and direct it. It's SPACE RAIDERS and it will be one of four films for The RiffTrax Experiments

Best decision tech I have made. Well that and getting a NAS for file backups. Loving the speed and ease of use with Ubuntu. Little tricky to get all the bits and apps I want, but it's been a fun puzzle.

Many others have said this, but it's just so refreshing to have an NYC mayor who absolutely loves everything about the city and all it has to offer its residents.
