Those Reddit posts are so funny where people:

"Using a throwaway account because the other person reads Reddit all the time"
*proceeds to describe extremely specific situation that the other person would definitely recognize*

@ghostdancer I don't know if it was literally bad, but there was a lot of discussion of (1) uncanny valley and (2) buttholes.

Anyway, yes, that's the one. 😃

I haven't seen it, but now I'm curious.

Surely Idris Elba belongs to neither cat-egory?

"It's not fair to say that Cats the Movie is just a bunch of famous actors who can't sing and dance! They also put in a couple of singers and dancers who can't act."

@GNU Too Weird. I thought maybe I might have cleaned the extraneous parameters too hard, but no, when I click the link I get the tumblr post with the map image.

My usual lunch partners are not joining today. The perfect day for it really, the weather is wonderful for a long walk.

Haven't seen clear skies like this in months.

People keep asking them if they have an Only Fans.

Alexandra set up an Only Fans account as an April's Fools' joke, with videos of her favorite "hot mating positions". Love it. 😆

What is that absolute banger of a song in the latest #LastWeekTonight end credits? I'm searching for the lyrics and coming up empty.

Like yeah we're done playing games boy
If you want it come and get it I'm right here boy
I-I'm feeling like I wanna come and get it boy
Come and get it boy
Come and get it boy

Sickest burn ever (about Andrew Tate):

"Because we're Romanian, they just ... assume ... that ... He's not even Romanian! He just went to prison there!"

Hadn't heard about Alexandra and Andrea Botez before. They're streamers playing chess (ranks 2000, 2300) and doing other things. Judging from their self-interview they absolutely rock in a large number of ways.

Someone is making yet another attempt to appreciate Dune.

Me: Ok, how about this time we try the mini series? It's a bit less artistic, more linear and explicit, shouldn't need so much background explanation to be possible to follow.
Them: Ok, sure.
*20 minutes later*
Them: Yeah I'm still gonna need a diagram.
Me: I'll just jot down the basic facts and relations.
*several minutes of writing names, titles and motivations, and drawing arrows*
*I've filled an A5 paper*
Them: I'm taking this home for study.

Some time between now and several weeks ago when I last checked, the dates for #fossy2024 were released!

It's at Portland State University on August 1st–4th, 2024-08-01–2024-08-04!

Sadly it is on Substack, but this is finally a thoughtful and reasoned criticism of #Chani's role in #Dune part 2, which doesn't come from the "she should smile more" camp.

"Does Denis Villaneuve [sic!] Understand the Women of Dune? // Wives, concubines, sons, and what's missing in Dune: Part 2"
