Poland being almost satisfied with anything should be the headline news here.

#BacklogViewing - Damsel.
Just wanted something straightforward and easy to digest. And I think this film fails in two ways. It fails to be good enough, but it also fails in being so bad it's worth watching for that reason. Instead it's just... negligible.
Still, better than doomscrolling, I suppose

Which is probably not entirely true, because I did really, really like The Irishman. The true story begins it helps a bit, I think. And Pesci is great, and borderline scary, while De Niro actually seems a bit lost and cardboardy. I probably would follow up with Casino site time soon.

#BacklogViewing - Goodfellas.
I probably should feel embarrassed for not having seen it much earlier, but to be honest, I don't think I care. However, had I seen it earlier, I might have liked it more. There's just something about Scorsese's fascination with gangsters that I'm a bit tired of by now.

He's absolutely delightful, I watch his stuff as much for his creations as for his narration as well.

Unrelated to anything, but @robonabike.bsky.social I highly recommend this chap's channel. I think it might be something to resonate with you πŸ˜‰

Sorry, no need for alarm, by the way. My son needs a bit of treatment from time to time, we're regulars here.

Yeah, back with the boy. He's got some ongoing things that take a bit longer to sort out but we'll get there eventually. Nothing terribly serious.

No sea view hospital room this time, but the light is rather splendid from this one.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Perfectly exposes the limitations of the algorithm though. It will only look for the information where you point it, while our brains are flexible enough to step back and look around as well.

I guess the best way to take them is simply as an art project, with a slight dadaistic twist, pinch of cabaret, served with surrealistic icing. But at the same time Janiszewski's texts are also raw, gritty, salt-in-wound even. Had they emerged from London, they'd be alt legends today.

The difference between me and the AI is that it took me a moment, but I did get there.

Bielizna is a curious one. I always thought they were getting a little bit overlooked because they could easily be mistaken for a comedy act, but I think they were actually quite brilliant musically.

Having trad that DAG article, it seems they have a good chance now, that they apologised. The rest of his claim is pretty much garbage.

He'd sue for 10 billion. He's just after money, he doesn't give a shit where it comes from.

"Lemmy goes and sees his doctor, and the doctor is like, β€˜Holy ****! If you’d waited another week, you’d have died!'" How MotΓΆrhead legend Lemmy Kilmister shrugged off his health issues for years Some of Lemmy's closest allies share warm stories of the typically bullish way Lemmy would deal with any health problems

TL;DR don't be a stubborn knobhead, if you're too manly to see a doctor, then that's the price.
