might be too real but in response to the dustin Nguyen post.

The greatest magic trick corporations pulled off was getting their consumers to defend them relentlessly. Dismissing usury, theft, predatory behavior as "well you need them so fuck you."

Two of the movies included as part of this have already been usurped as I've gotten to more from last year, but what're you gonna do

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024) is just the dramatization of the real work behind the J. Peterman Company as portrayed in Seinfeld (1996).

I genuinely love The Dark Forest, I think its a phenomenal book, and also I recognize that for Cixin Liu, characters are just tools that he can move to explore the larger questions he wants to answer about like humanity and science, and yes, he cannot write a woman.

I think what I've realized recently is that the further away in either time or space, the work is from the present moment, the softer I want the story to be.

Ferguson and Common's performances really anchor the show for me. I found it entertaining, and I think it's really interesting to look at how they choose to unfold the mystery and operate within the constraints set by the world, especially when looking at how it differs from the book.
