The question of whether the tech industry and venture capital have any relation to merit, talent, intelligence, or life experience is why I keep a picture handy of the Juicero Guy.

The Touch Bar was a far worse failure than the Butterfly Keyboard.

It’s remarkable how readily people will believe a vaccine injection “rewrites your DNA” considering just how insanely difficult it is to actually rewrite a living being’s DNA.

It would be headline news if Avery Brooks were expressing interest.

Disney+ and the short window from theaters to streaming seems like a massive factor, ever since Black Widow undercut its own release. Anyone who likes the MCU has Disney+ and can eventually see any film at no added cost.

Great! There’s so much lore from the comics you can’t gracefully fit into a movie. I was thrilled that Wakanda Forever gave us live action Midnight Angels armor as well as Ayo and Aneka. But it was shoehorned into the story (“Should we use the new armor?”) and they were just cameos with no arc.

Seriously thank you for that TNR link about the bears.

It’s as if easy access to venture capital doesn’t actually mean you’re a genius or know anything about how the world works.

Early 2024? They should release it now for holiday buzz. Road House is a Christmas movie.

I wish there was more surviving footage of their marionette acts and Les Poupées de Paris, which was apparently quite clever and expansive. Their showgirl puppets on Dean Martin anticipated the Muppet Show’s guest numbers a decade later. It’s just wild that Sid & Marty Krofft went directly from “adult marionette

I can attest a genuine use case for this. It’s last minute needs not for TV sets but things like SD cards, flash drives, adapter cables, and portable chargers for photography or A/V setups. Something breaks or goes missing and you’re on a schedule. If you have a local Best Buy it can be preferable to Amazon since

To be clear, Sissy Spacek played Carrie, Amy Irving played her classmate Sue who survives the film.

I was seven when the original Pete’s Dragon came out (1977) and my parents and sitters were obliged to take me to it repeatedly as much as Star Wars. I can’t say with any conviction that it is in any way good, apart from “Candle On The Water.

It balances out once you load the jet pack and chimpanzee.

Atmospheric scientist Pawan Bhartia unveiled this satellite-based image that, for the first time, showcased the vast scale of the Antarctic ozone hole. This upsetting revelation transformed our understanding of the Earth’s atmosphere and its vulnerabilities, catalyzing global action that culminated in the 1987

The last thing I expected was a clear look at Pluto in my lifetime.

Really the opposite is true. The movie catches you up quickly on who these people are and the important things that happened. The actual plot and story is nicely free of serving crossovers or future continuity. That is properly saved for the end credits.

This movie was a major payoff to the Disney+ shows, because while you didn’t need to have seen them, it meant Monica, Kamala, and Kamala’s family were all really well developed by the actors and had natural and lived in beats together.

Also Loki of mythology has punishments like being trapped underground with venom forever dripping on his face. A solitary throne in the branches of time is a relatively light penance. He’s part of the same cosmology as the fate-weaving Norns so he’s probably qualified to weave narratives.

In the Expanse we never directly meet living aliens, it’ll be fun to see how the writers depict getting swept up in an advanced civilization instead of stirring its lethal long dead ashes.
