Confession: I can no longer confidently tell apart bonafide nature photography and good genAI imitations. I hate having to pixel peep and thinking thrice about clicking a bloody like button.

Man the horrible Hindi dialogue in Pluribus makes it impossible to take the show seriously. It's hilariously awful. Makes me wonder how bad the other languages must be.

This whole scene is great - the Director getting skewered by the whole team, the needlessly cruel references to Boing Boing Paradise and Ogasawara Rinko's imperturbable face amidst all the chaos, but Erika's brutal smack to Taro's head has to be the absolute highlight.

It's been more than a decade and they still haven't released the "My harem might be falling apart, but I guess I'm just imagining things" anime. I feel betrayed.

The golden age of diversity and democracy in Oz.

There's a possibility Rajamouli's new film will get into some uncomfortable Hindutva territory (I'm hoping it won't, but the temptation is too strong, given the political atmosphere), and Kojima will inadvertently end up promoting it.

The Steam Cube would be more interesting if it came in yellow

YouTube video by CRITERION Tatsuya Nakadai on Shooting SANJURO

The squib in Nakadai's death scene in Sanjuro was so explosively bloody that the other actors were stunned in legitimate shock. Kurosawa kept that very first take in the final film.

Audible email advertising an allegedly new book by George Eliot: Middlemarch. If only!

I got an email from Audible and am thrilled to share the news that George Eliot has released a brand new title

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx
