I don't think they should budge.

Just saw A House of Dynamite. Great movie. I highly recommend it, and see it before you see people talking about it online. It's best to go in as blind as possible.

Oh man, I had that one. And Zap!, Touch Me, Scramble... and some others. Scramble was quite impressive, actually.

So that's two samples I have approved on whosampled.com!

Additional notes:

It felt like 45 minutes. It is very hard to explain what happened. There is improvisation so it's not always the same. But this is from the same tour:

I saw Autechre in concert last night. Or rather, I didn't. They play one 80-minute piece in total darkness.

It was loud, densely layered, and absolutely unrelenting. I passed into some other state of mind and understood the cacophony and the long- and short-lived structures beneath.

10/10.

Awesome, ITaW wishlisted. Look forward to it. Love the soccer ball. :D

Wait wait... did you make the corridor? I loved that.

@karinejean-pierre.bsky.social I just saw your interview with Amna Nawaz. Would you please answer questions directly? You're talking like a press secretary, like you have things to hide or spin.

Yeah I told my wife who had never been through a tornado this. She didn't really believe me until we moved to a state with tornadoes and she saw one.

You're not wrong.

I know why people are using ChatGPT to tell their problems to instead of a therapist.

IT'S FREE.

We really need to make it easier for people to get the help they need.

I'm so mad at people for abusing peoples' fears to gain power with respect to vaccines.

Ok I knew the r0 is around 18. But I did not know about being contagious long before symptoms. No wonder this thing is such a nightmare.

Hahaha! Not quite. :)

Three body problem has some good scenes. But my god the amount of bad expository dialogue sucks.

Promised kitty pic. :)

I think I know enough to comment on the Kirk thing now. She says it better than I can. More cat pictures to follow in the next post.

Already lost our grip one what's happening. It's just spiraling out of control now.

Deadzone: Rogue

Amazing game. Stripped down to the essentials. No hidden loot, unlimited ammo.... just tons of fun.

Um holy shit The Substance was a hell of a trip. Tons and tons of references to other stories and movies in it.

Quimby

Facehugger

Asking it for help naming something. Asking for a translation (I work at a company where there are lots of French speakers). I can come up with more.

I remember this band from the 90s... name was something like...

Stone Jam Dog Pilots of the Pearl Temple

Or something.

Disagree with a lot of these.

Thanks! I like learning things.

So it was Julius Kaiser in pronounciation?

Yup. Then cities try and they stop that too.
