It's been obvious for a while that reason the reason that superhero movies stopped being a guaranteed money machine is Marvel turned going through cinema into something that required homework What's wild is Marvel saying the quiet part out loud and *setting ~45 hours of homework for the audience*

Sunday was slow smoking ox cheeks and eating it in tacos with guacamole and tomato salsa. Amd it was late when everything was ready including the sweet potato cooked in the embers! And corn on the bbq! Heaven! But not photos it was dark in the garden! This is next day. Or night, rather! #foodsky

A round plate with four tacos topped with tomato salsa, guacamole and slow cooked melt in the mouth mixed with the lovely sauce ox cheeks! Delish!

The book features heroines, heroes and a villain,(including a queen, a pianist, a slave-trader, a merchant, an admiral, and a freedom fighter) who have, become better known for their culinary associations than for their more significant accomplishments...who are they? What did they cook?

People who do this are violating the basic norms of social interaction in a desperate attempt to speed-run self improvement and seemingly have no idea that... ...outsourcing self reflection to an LLM is precisely what will kneecap self-improvement

Quote "Others, like AI sales company Yuzu Labs founder Emmie Chang, go even further. Chang admitted to the WSJ that she records most of her first dates by putting her phone on the table or chair. Afterwards, she asks Anthropic’s Claude how the date went, wondering if she could be “more engaging or empathetic.”

A piece of left-wing history: Hafenstraße. And Vietnamese cuisine in German communes around 1980, because when you said Vietnam then, people didn't think of Pho. www.culina-vetus.de/2026/07/18/h... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #eattherich #gentrification

The Hafenstraße buildings seen from the Elbe river: A row of waterfront houses painted in bright colours, with trees in the foreground. A blue banner on the central facade reads "Halts Maul, Deutschland!" (Germany, shut up!).

Demonstration in support of the Hafenstraße commune in December 1986. The photograph shows an inner city street with a road sign indicating various destination around Hamburg. A large crowd is marching along the street, facing the photographer. They are carrying banners supporting the squatters in the current standoff. 1986 was the height of violent confrontation.
