Your friendly reminder of that wonderful heartfelt Hollywood movie in which curtain rings played a key role in the plot

I always wondered if there was some sort of smart database system that allows for quick searching and generation of these sort of obscure statistics

Tangible art is very fun. I have the opposite problem to digital art, though. I already filled my walls so now I'm painting over my less desirable pieces to keep the fun going.

The online advertising algorithms are frighteningly smart - right up until you make a purchase. Itโ€™s like, โ€œLook, I bought the tambourine. Iโ€™m the last person on earth who needs to keep seeing tambourine ads. Get your shit together.โ€

Can be sketchy in a world where people talk about submitting 150 resumes without getting a single interview.

Obviously your personal circumstances may differ

I mean, this makes sense.

You might as well ask,
"Hey, Guillermo, why don't you hire someone else to make art for you?"

He'd say "No, *I* like making the art."

In fairness the movie barely explains what it is

I think a lot about how most big-city newspapers used to have a a couple of movie critics, a theater critic, a few book critics, an architecture critic, a music critic or two, an in-house cartoonist, at least two or three foreign correspondents, a fashion writer, and a whole staff of photographers

Imagery of the national seat of power being unexpectedly destroyed?

Yeah, that's powerful.

You can only question why it wasn't plastered across every front page on every newsstand...

Would not an inch thick resin pour be furiously expensive too?

A person who doesnโ€™t defend you while someone slanders you, is your enemy too

"Do you actually want to go to this weird ass festival in Europe while you're in the middle of grieving your parents?"
"No, I..."
"Then don't fucking go to Europe!"

The last significant innovation in cell phones was the iPhone, almost twenty years ago. Since then, phones are just that, but with more specs and better cameras. They don't *do* anything new or unique.

I think sometimes about how part of the problem with a great deal of tech is that it's over. Like, operating systems have been pretty much complete since the late '90s. Your Windows 11 machine doesn't do anything that an XP box couldn't, except it requires 100ร— the resources.

Cute tidbit from when the Australian Grand Prix took place in Adelaide.

Williams requested a local brewery supply 84 litres of demineralized water for their race car's cooling needs.

Adelaide has long been famous for poor tap water, but I suspect few F1 teams ever used it anyway.
