  1. Oligarchs in the house https://www.chron.com/culture/article/spacex-tceq-lawsuit-19988870.php
  2. Or they want to fap to Ellie and Joel from The Last of Us.
  3. Already out in limited release for Acdemy Awards eligibility. on.y a dozen official reviews but looking good https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_day_the_earth_blew_up_a_looney_tunes_movie Thankfully another company has the distribution rights so MaxChipandJoannaGainesCNNWarnerTrueCrime can’t cancel or gut it like they did with the Cartoon Network and their animation offerings. And ironically it was meant for Max first until the animation part was gutted.
  4. Yep. Extremely audacious. Even had a Kevin Conroy and Ezra Miller. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths_(Arrowverse) Heres the episode to watch to prep but it’s a lot And this is the actual Elseworld episodes and then Crisis episodes https://screenrant.com/how-to-watch-crisis-on-infinite-earths-order/ It’s daunting but I’m still intrigued because it was so bold for the CW to do.
  5. The Arrowverse stuff with Superman was kind of interesting - they did Crisis on Infinite Earths across all of their shows and even had Brandon Rough’s Man of Steel take. I loved the comic from the 80s, so it’s kind of on my radar to watch (but just the crisis stuff, not the entire with if the Arrowverse).
  6. It would have gotten a lot of Americans killed, but would have stopped the Warsaw Pact from happening in the long run. But we had no idea the Warsaw Pact would happen.
  7. Or just a tool who is too dumb to realize that we just went through a pandemic, and also that we aren’t the ones who are going to be using bioweapons. It’s going to be Russia or a third-world country like Syria, but we have to be prepared to be on the receiving end.
  8. They are drafting men in their 50s to go fight. The uneducated rurals/factory workers can tolerate a lot. Yep, it's almost like clockwork that an official or oligarch or executive kills themselves every few months. Usually falling out of a window.
  9. Contrarians, grifters, and mentally ill. Ee really need to grift off of these people.
  10. Skip over the paid promo at the beginning for ear plugs or whatever, he dives into everything from flat earth to vaccines to moon landings. I found it amusing to send this video to some relatives.
  11. https://deadline.com/2024/12/marvel-exec-nate-moore-1236208724/
  12. So we are getting a full-blown Bluey movie in....in 2027. This will be the creator's swan song as he moves on to other stuff (but Bluey is continuing) Huge News: A Bluey Movie is Coming! - Bluey Official Website
  13. My middle-schooler couldn't stop laughing. I even chuckled a little bit. I give them credit for not playing it too safe, given how many parents will cringe/not let their kids anywhere near it.
  14. Bird flu can remain in the raw milk for up to 5 days or something. Infectivity and Persistence of Influenza A Virus in Raw Milk | Environmental Science & Technology Letters
  15. Thank you for summing up my manifestos in a handful of words. I would toss in this: Netflix dumping entire seasons at once has also really screwed with things, and it's actually hurt TV in some ways. With Game of Thrones or various other shows that have their own threads here in M&T, when episodes were dripped once a week, it gave people a chance to think about stuff, to talk about it with family or friends or co-workers. It also meant that TV shows could build an audience over time as people got roped into conversations they overheard. With Netflix dumping everything at once, you've created a chasm within your audience - those who binge it in fairly short order (whether it be a weekend or say at night during the week) and they are chomping at the bit to talk. Then you've got everybody else who don't have the time or energy and so are catching a few here or there, or worse, deciding that it will always be on Netflix so it can be pushed off. These two groups are not going to come together to compare notes (or if they do it's weeks/months later) and there's no shared experience of basically watching the shows together as they air once a week, so there's no hype train. The only thing saving some of these shows is that social media is filling in for the water cooler and the various clips that get posted online do bring in new viewers, but it's not the same shared experience as we had in the past with Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Mandalorian, or whatever else you can think of that aired once a week.
  16. Ehh, young kids love to go to the theater (and Bluey the cartoon has reinforced that). And older kids as well. We will be seeing Moana 2 this weekend, and next month we'll be seeing the Dog-Man movie, and a few months later, the Minecraft movie. And now that my son is old enough, he wants to see future Marvel movies in the theater.
  17. Europeans and Americans showing up in Russia with a few hundred bucks in their pockets
  18. No wonder he was so cozy with the Russians. Seriously, it's a guy that gassed and bombed his own people indiscriminately.
  19. Is the graveyard in the room with you Leon?
  20. Is this where we bitch about all of the spam robocalls about government benefits? It can be amusing to have a conversation with the bots.
  21. Them being around Picatinny Arsenal - they literally do research for shit the soldiers carry individually, as well as stuff deployed with them at the company/battalion level (but still portable), so they are going to have stuff that is years from being used by the typical soldier - that's going to include the latest in night-vision and infrared, various electronic sensor equipment, It's not Camp Swift outside of Bastrop using hand-me-downs from the Army. Now it could always be that somebody got one of the human-sized drones, I mean VTOL vehicles from Pivotal (and these videos weird me out because I don't see how they are doing what they are doing) and they do have anticollision lights and have a car-sized footprint.
