Just saw it and loved it. I think they managed to keep what was great about the old movies, but also do their own thing.

what frustrates me infinitely is how slop defenders have made up artists as gatekeepers to get mad at. Every artist I know is happy to share their secret and I’ll share it too: it’s PRACTICE. Do the thing! Just do it, and be terrible at it, then bad at it, then okay, then good, then great! that’s it

Leslie Nielsen would be proud.

I feel like Liam Neeson has been training for this moment since he was cast in Taken.

And two really cool things about the credits:
1) All the professional titles were "person" instead of "man," e.g., "foreperson"
2) There are jokes sprinkled throughout the credits so it was very enjoyable to just sit there and read the scroll to catch the next gag. Well played!

The Naked Gun (2025) is fucking hilarious. It hit Airplane levels of playing things straight for comedy and visual gags in the background. A+ recommend if you enjoy that kind of humor.

"Catur Dian Mirzada, a durian expert and member of Durian Traveler, an initiative by Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture to explore local durian diversity, told Global Voices: Translation Original Quote Palu (in Central Sulawesi) is currently the best-known durian production hub (in Indonesia), especially for Montong durians, and investors from China are eyeing for it. I’ve heard 30 warehouse investors are lined up. So we’re in a race [with Chinese investors] now."

"Catur Dian Mirzada, a durian expert and member of Durian Traveler, an initiative by Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture to explore local durian diversity, told Global Voices: Translation Original Quote Palu (di Sulawesi Tengah) adalah sentral produksi durian terkenal di Indonesia, karena banyak yang menanam Montong di sana, dan banyak investor China yang melirik ke Palu.

In case you don't know what I mean about the quotes: we provide them in original language and translation, tabbed so you can see both within the article:

Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way

There's a discussion happening among BAFTA Games members about taking action on the censorship of adult/nsfw games. BAFTA is a particularly good group to consider this given the long and sordid history of TV and movie censorship.

It also makes us confront why games are treated differently... 🧵

Aside: During my shit job phase, I never lasted long in anything that had face-to-face customer interaction because I have severe resting "why the fuck are you talking to me" face.

Anyway if you're complaining about kids these days and it's about anything other than their inability to understand the contextual history behind the usage of "slay," maybe pick up a shift at the local retail gulag so you remember how fucking awful customers are.

I'd always we'd slogged through enough shit jobs that we'd know better than to be entitled shits towards minimum wage customer service employees.

Erosion. #photography

Millions of years ago, volcanic activity deposited thick layers of ash in the region. Later block faulting formed a valley, which then filled with water to form a lake. These formations of bentonite clay are the remnants of the lake that once resided here.
