Cannot be emphasized enough that the charm of Reacher is that he's what would happen if Sherlock Holmes had the size, power, and disposition of a noble ogre
This moment legitimately made me think REACHER was about to be some kind of supernatural horror-slasher that people were hiding from me

The thing about AI being demonic is that it really is demonic. "I'll do your homework for you, in exchange for sapping your intelligence and motivation and ability to function without AI" is literally something a demon would do

What's a book that is a red flag for you if you're on a date and someone says it's their favorite? For me it's a book of Polaroids of me sleeping, each one taken on a different night over the course of years, sometimes from the ceiling, and some of the photos show me *older*

Sorry to sincerepost, but: follow through with plans, especially with children. Every day you teach them what adults can be. Besides, childhood passes so quickly for us big people. Before you know it, your little relatives won't be so little anymore. You can't get it back.

Reminds me of the time in college (2003ish) when I was chatting up a classmate, quite good-looking, we got along well, she told me to visit her at work, and she also told me in the same conversation, "isn't it suspicious that no Jews were in the Twin Towers when they fell"

Fun fact: just before The Ring came out, they had been leaving copies of The Tape around NYC as a guerilla marketing thing, which was a real spooky surprise to the girl who I took to see The Ring when it came out. "Holy shit, it's literally that random tape I found!"
fun fact about the VHS tape of the ring is that it will just casually start playing the actual tape footage without any warning and it’s scary as fuck

Sad that a life was lost, but always remember, folks, nature is not your friend. Wild animals are not your pets, they are not domesticated. It can take thousands of years to domesticate an animal. (Cats are *debatably* domesticated...)

My mom had a form of early onset dementia, almost certainly exacerbated by a car accident some years back. It's gruesomely depressing. That said, my mom wound up in a terrific memory care facility until she passed away. I am sure that Willis is getting great, loving treatment

Awesome. My now-wife were once hiking and two gruff-looking teens came up to us and said, "there's an owl chilling in a tree about twenty feet over there if you wanna check it out." They were right! So nice to see a Great Horned Owl in person.

Huge part of The Onion's decline is that, while of course The Onion has never shied away from political humor - indeed, they used to be great at it - it was pretty much always mixed with apolitical humor that centered the joke of The Onion being a fake *newspaper*, in that idiom

People across the political spectrum seem pathologically incapable of *really* admitting that unsympathetic people deserve rights. The rush to pretend that Neely was primarily known for being an MJ impersonator is a tacit refusal to admit that *severely unwell* people need help

I want Zoomers to understand that this is what the American left felt like until around the time that Bernie finally became big nationally. It was literally a constant problem in Iraq War protests that they kept insisting on playing with puppets and costumes
In Seattle, dozens of protestors against the World Trade Organization (WTO) dress as sea turtles and hold a march.

Love when Disney says "and look, she already got 20 million," because as we all know contract law is all about deciding generally how much money people ought to get in general. Just throw out a number, use your gut, so you get paid some lesser amount than had been agreed upon 🤷♂️

Yes, very brown! Our central heating vents were chocolate brown. They paired interestingly with our mint-green dishwasher, fridge, and oven. People look at the music videos and some youth fashion of the day and think that everything was colored like that. Nnnnnnnope

It's interesting that movies, etc. rarely reflect this reality - the idea that art could be your hobby, but only a tiny number of people really "make it" - because movies, etc. are exclusively made by the people who have made it, in a sense

Prometheus features allegedly-intelligent professionals making stupid and/or inexplicable decisions, but so does Aliens, a widely-acknowledged masterpiece. Cameron better contextualizes their arrogance, panic, and "mere humanity" in face of dangerous unknowns

Kanye is an extremely divorced guy
His beef with Davidson reminds me of the bit in The Weather Man in which Nicolas Cage challenges his ex-wife's boyfriend to a duel by slapping him with a glove.
Kanye has to keys to his own cell, he can free himself at any time by letting go

Especially during a still-ongoing pandemic, especially when your hobbies are mostly indoors and/or offline. It actually makes a lot of sense to just say who you are and what you're about and see who wants to hang. It's fucked up that anybody found that funny

Underrated quality of Lynch - something that immediately distinguishes him from lame imitators - most of his "weird" stuff feels well-observed. We have all experienced something at least a little like randomly getting stuck at some weirdo loser party; Blue Velvet nails that
I love when they go to Ben's party and it's not at all a cool party, it's just like the biggest and weirdest middle-aged losers. It's played as surreal but it's entirely recognizable, which makes the scene so much more unsettling

Fun fact: this is how Dan Aykroyd's Nothing But Trouble came to be. Dan Aykroyd, Peter Aykroyd, and Hollywood producer Robert K. Weiss caught a showing of Hellraiser, because Weiss was recuperating from a broken rib, so he didn't want to see something that would make him laugh

As somebody who actually is a parent: there already are family pride parades/events, and nobody is going to force you and your kids to go to a pride parade. People are imagining things: leather-daddies aren't going to run to your house and force your kids to behold them.

I literally don't see the problem with this? Females tend to have different bodies than males? It's weird to pretend all bodies are the same, or that the male body is the default?
House Democrat in charge of spending: "It is critical to fund the use of female crash test dummies for road equity"
Community note
The use of female crash test dummies has reduced female crash fatalities significantly due to the structure of their bodies and how the impacts affect them vs the traditional male crash test dummy that was the only point of reference.
