iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A movie averaging all the highs and lows around 50 is wayyyy more worth watching than one that just gets straight 50s.

The best way to immediately combat anti-Semitism is to make it clear that not all Jews are Israeli or Zionists.

I've heard The Bear really fell off. Haven't watched past S2, but even when it was good, a character stabbed another character while they were feuding, and even though it was accidental, she never apologized and the two characters just somehow became cool with each other.

I'll just preemptively say fuck Rahm Emanuel regardless of whether he runs or not.

You can tell Control Resonant wasn't made in America by the way there are billboards all across Manhattan promoting awareness about climate change, unionization, and suing your employer for wrongful termination.

Might qualify as a spoiler, but I think you need to remember something about how the good guys (Marvel's Avengers + allies) overcame some really long odds to defeat the bad guy (Thanos).

This is the first time I've seen a resemblance between Trump and his (probably-was-supposed-to-be—Hillary Clinton) wax figure

Oh yeah, it's just a fun action movie. I had a blast watching it, but The Substance is much more uncomfortable (but I also had a blast watching it).

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

Yeah, I think S5 is weaker, but I still enjoyed it. Maybe the funniest season.

I could totally see them killing most of the internet. I think most people don't really want to interact with stuff that's not real or made by humans, but maybe I'm giving people too much credit, and it is getting harder to tell the difference.

Have we seen what Sheeran's cousin said about him? Brutal hahaha clearly a long held grudge.

Screenshot from a news site. Jethro Sheeran calls cousin Ed shady and selfish. "Wow at last the truth is being shared publicly! I'm so embarrassed of what my cousin Ed has done. After all this time, the world and his fans have finally realised what a fake he is. He isn't a good soul. I just don't like his music so I can't even say that he's a good performer" Jethro shared on Instagram. Additionally "He is indeed a heartless and manipulative person with evil intentions. I am his first blood cousin, and he betrayed me and even mocked my mental health and the overall concept of mental health." Although Macklemore before stated that Ed had been coerced by stadium owners to get rid of him from the tour, Jethro still thinks Ed alone made that decision, describing his cousin as a shady and cowardly person. "To me he is just a terrible person. And just my opinion based on me being a cousin to him too." he added.

Heard Chapo say last week that Macklemore is reverse separating the art from the artist 😆

I feel bad that he's been so inconvenienced and like no one will take his side, even though he said very clearly he's NOT complicit in genocide. Was no one listening? He's NOT complicit 😭

Trying to frame this in a way you might understand: Are Republicans running attack ads saying that Dems want stuttering kids to play sports with non-stuttering kids, and are Dems countering with ads that are saying, "No, I hate stuttering kids. Keep them out of sports."?

American politics is just putting a picture of the current president on a gas pump.

Jill Valentine needs her own new mainline Resident Evil game.

New Vegas is incredible. I remember an old article saying 85 was a target score for performance and potential bonuses, but that might not hold true today. Regardless, I think anything with a 78-80 or above is probably pretty good depending on things like genre preferences.

An 84 on Metacritic is nothing to sneeze at (and is higher than the first game's 82).

I liked the first season with Ncuti well enough, but now I'm going back to the early stuff with Eccleston and Tenant, and I think the polish and CGI hurts the show. The places they went in the new stuff felt less real. We need practical sets and effects, even if they're cheap.
