i rewatched The Matrix trilogy recently and could not help but laugh when i saw each movie had a different production logo. they were all released within four years, with the second and third movie released in the same year!
Production logo from The Matrix (1999), reads "Warner Bros. Pictures: a Time Warner Entertainment Company."Production logo from The Matrix: Reloaded (2003), reads "Warner Bros. Pictures: an AOL Time Warner Company."Production logo from The Matrix: Revolutions (2003), reads "Warner Bros. Pictures: A Time Warner Company."

Oh jeez. Oh no.
To be fair, I’m not doing so great with men. I told my most recent date that I was working on a novella. “Because you’re Mexican?” he asked. I asked what he meant. “Isn’t a novella a Mexican novel?” Before him was the guy who confessed over drinks that he didn’t “believe in Helen Keller,” because there was “no way she actually flew that plane.” I asked if he meant Amelia Earhart. “Who?” I slept with both of them.

Nixon's instincts about Polymarket are absolutely correct: it has been paying off the Presidents son and offering free pro-Republican ads in exchange for protection from actual regulation from its (mostly) sports gambling business donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-polyma...

Lol just saw a local ad by Angela Paxton (Ken's wife) in which she never says his name and instead says "in an election like this it doesn't matter who the individual players are, it matters that the right team wins," which is like "I know my husband is trash but you have to vote Republican anyway"

Trans Char Aznable wouldn't "come out" she would show up somewhere someday as a mysterious blonde beauty named Cinco Benis having already fully transitioned. She'd say something about how the great man Char Aznable has died, how tragic, but humanity must move on. Honestly iconic of her

India's GDP per capita is about the same as China's was during the Beijing Olympics (and it has more people) but there's no sense of a rising technocratic India in the West like there was for China. I imagine a lot of it is also that pundits got burned by the "Mumbai consensus" hype in the 2000s.

I really think that India could've made a lot of progress in terms of how it is viewed by Americans if they had invested money in social media and influencers and stuff, but it doesn't seem like they do this at all, unlike china

"Biden making threats in private actually made things worse. No not the fact that he didn't follow through, the fact that he made them at all" is such a weird argument to make as an ostensible liberal who thinks what happened was bad, yet you see it all the time.

You will notice that at no point in this thread is there any engagement with actual Israeli policy, or the response of various Palestinian national movements, or how international law should be applied, etc, because it's mostly about his discursive enemies, rather than anything real or concrete.

Mamdani's greatest challenge as Mayor is making South Asian identity legible to the rest of America. the failure to do this is why Harris lost in 2024.
