Billionaires will raid the world of all it's wealth and then congratulate themselves on being the only ones with agency.

I worked on what I believe is literally the lowest rated show on imdb. Glad it finally found its audience.

Go to library, pick up book about korea, look at names. Sounds simple but imagine getting to the library in your Flintstones car.

He could have built a trans-american solar power grid and become a classic tycoon figure. But that would require a modicum of good taste.

I love when a restaurant owned by a tyrannical douchebag is called like "The Public Commons"

In Canada we're getting a new LNG pipeline when the biggest use of natural gas is home heating (more efficiently done with heat pumps), and the next biggest use is in refining tar sands (which only has a 2:1 energy return on energy invested).

Every Canadian heritage site is already named like this. Canadians love when a place has at least two names.

An economy that pushed the majority of people into service work and then stopped making things, and now is threatening to stop even buying things from parts of the world that do.

You just can't convince me that distributing a couple of Canadian films is costing the streamers very much. Like if they are trying to wriggle out of that obligation, they are licking the baggy of revenue generation.

I wonder if nature sounds fuck up their AI rights management systems. Hard to manage the copyright on birdsong.

Is there any reason given for that? Seems like such an arbitrary line.

And since replacing all ICE vehicles with battery electric counterparts would take again more copper than has ever been mined, we should probably just move straight to bikes and trains.

IMO Eggers' dedication to depicting the past solely as a bleak site of lawless social horror prevents him from ever actually depicting a person from the past with any kind of sympathy or understanding.

All of those things could be considered bare minimum necessities for the continuation of the American national project. I don't get why anyone would waste their time on politicians who maybe, sorta support them.

That corner is a classic cursed retail location. Whatever occupies that space is a strange reflection of social contagions of the day.

Devin and I once brainstormed an anthology TV series to be set and shot on location in the hundreds of abandoned coastal villages in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The mayor of New York is supposed to have broken dialogue trees. He's supposed to drop swag crystals as loot. He should be clipping between Manhattan and Istanbul. Not this normal guy shit.

I don't think he minds publicity, but he has interns or students who make the microphones, and part of their work is to reverse engineer his design. At least that's what I understand. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUWk...

@papapishu.bsky.social Something you'd likely be interested in: A japanese artist is developing a radical new stereo microphone called the BARO M1. He's encouraging people to try making their own, but his documentation is exclusively posted to a facebook group and he asks that no one create drawings

I wouldn't be surprised to see the return of some sort of finishing school for elite children if the university system falls further into collapse.

I think it's fun how as the reality of climate change becomes undeniable, people more rabidly defend their lifestyle (which likely contributes to climate change, everything does).

It's kind of a demonstration of what a business can do for itself if it doesn't strictly adhere to the capitalist logic of reinvesting profit into growth. You can invest profit into selling kangaroo meat to Cincinnati.

The North American power grid was fragile even before the data center build-out really took off. People seem eager to forget about the 2021 Texas blackouts.

Among other things mentioned, these people conflate the (genuinely harmless) homeless person catching some Zs on the train with the drug user, with the person screaming through a mental breakdown, with rowdy teenagers, with violent criminals alll into one imagined omni-deplorable.

Jackson's trilogy solidified the general public's conception for "what LotR looks like". The downside is that recasting any of those characters becomes more difficult. I think if the studio were brave enough to give recasting a try, the audience would be more forgiving than they think.

For me, it's always Chain (2004). But I also like the idea of First Cow with it's perfect marxist parable about primitive accumulation playing out in the American west.
