I saw Alien as a young teen and those Aliens have been a core feature in almost all of my nightmares. I don't dream about them often, but when I do, it scares the shit out of me

Granted, I didn't see a ton of movies in my childhood, but I saw some friends were impacted by that didn't bother me. Arachnophobia when I was about 11 at a sleepover (not terribly scary to me although a friend had nightmares). Fire in the Sky at the end of 7th grade (not terribly scary to me...

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

I absolutely love that even writing about these fantastically silly cartoons can get me chuckling. www.avclub.com/coyote-vs-ac...

Coyote Vs. Acme won its case, but still loses to the legacy of Looney Tunes
Even good Looney Tunes movies like Coyote Vs. Acme compete less with Disney, and more with the pure cinema of the original cartoons.

Saw a zillow listing touting the smart fridge and can't tell you how much I need the fridge to be the dumbest appliance in the house. I just need it to be cold. Nothing else. Should be JD Vance levels of dumb, just there without a thought, being cold & impersonal, staring at the couch all day.

It's not OK to wear smart glasses around other people. It's not cool. It's creepy, disrespectful. It pollutes the public sphere with the oppression of surveillance. It puts the onus on non-Glassholes; that's not asking for consent. www.vogue.com/article/do-s...
