Something about me being British makes conservative Americans ask me for my thoughts on immigration... I want MORE OF IT!

I'm taking a class on SF lit and we're currently talking about robots. A big theme of these stories is whether or not robots have souls, can be constructed to be indistinguishable from humans, etc. My general spirituality has allowed me to entertain that idea for a while, at least as something neat-

The worst part about not being in college anymore is there's no guarantee your crushes are age-appropriate. You could meet someone in the bar and then boom, they're a decade older than you. Not that that would be an issue for me, of course.

We had the staff party on my third day of work at my new job and I got way too drunk and sang too much karaoke. I'm trying to figure out if I endeared or embarrassed myself -- I think the former. They seem so friendly and nice but they kept asking if I was old enough to drink. Bro I'm in my mid-20s

I've been accessing my home server via my router's built-in OpenVPN support at blazing fast speeds of 1MB/s for years now. Never tried Tailscale because what I was doing "worked." I need to go back and throttle past me because Tailscale was so easy to set up and works better in every way.

I've actually had this on my mind all day. It's so interesting how generative AI has this "fungal" quality to it. This was something I noticed back when I did elegaic_ai (when gen-AI was more novelty than dystopia), that there was such an unsettling aura to it

As I rewatch the MCU, it really baffles me how little we actually know about the characters for how long the movies are

Clearing out my photo backup and I'm coming across images from 2018 of Charlie Kirk where his face has been photoshopped slightly smaller. The world was kinder then.

Internally conflicted between wanting more studios doing film prints and having to watch Shawn Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter. Would much rather see just, regular 35/70mm releases of the Star Wars restoration, too.

📌 Pin-tastic I'm Nem, a film archivist & graduate student! When I'm not doing either of those two, I'm probably reading, watching movies, playing games/guitar, or making little computer games. Occasionally updated website: nemiko.neocities.org Obligatory albums on rotation + some movies I like.

I saw this in 70mm IMAX over the weekend and it really did impress me. Not just the scale of it (which is great), but I love seeing people show up for film in [current year] -- let alone a print that's largely photochemically processed vs. a digital intermediate step. I love to see it.
