Whut?!
A friend just had her checking account wiped out by her family's new health insurance premium (which went from $890 a month to $2800). The thing is, she'd cancelled the policy in early December, assuming it would also cancel the autopay.

Nope.

One of my fave movie trailers is for "How the West Was Won" and appears to have been done by a fan.
It was my intro to the film and imo perfectly captures its zeitgeist.

Best post yet about Rob Reiner's impact on film lovers.
One line is all we need to hear.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."

It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.
“.. Skeptics believe the technical risks are being underestimated and say space-based data centers won’t be competitive on cost, especially if power and other constraints ease on the ground.”

Holy shit
I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔
