Only just found out that Zohran Mamdani is the son of filmmaker Mira Nair.

I don't know what to do with that information, but OK. What a fun fact.

Something's gone wrong with Facebook comment sections.

Not to mention, I'll probably never have to shout at a robo-taxi to "wake up!" as I've had to do a couple of times to drivers who fell asleep, and I'll never catch them scrolling through WeChat videos while driving. And a few minutes later I was almost flattened by two cyclists running a red light.

It's kinda similar to the plot of Sleep Dealer, in which Mexican labourers in warehouses near the border with the US (which has been closed off with a fortified border wall) operate robots that work on construction projects.

What a cool poster.

Jean Hagen in Singin’ in the Rain: “I make more money than Calvin Coolidge put together!”

Top-loading Ferguson Videostar. My dad borrowed it from work and, come to think of it, maybe never returned it. Maybe "borrowed it from work" was a cover story that I don't want to interrogate...

It had a remote control, too. But it was on a cable.

Yes, I've seen a fair amount of: "Which of you fellow kids is up for some political violence?"

"Their violent rhetoric fuels political violence."

I don't mind if people find the pacing and outdated values of old films unappealing, but this is just a bizarre ("people don't like seeing what places used to look like!") and presumptuous ("surely nobody wants to see a film with so many *things* in it!") argument:

Spotify users: remember you can block artists from appearing in playlists.

e.g. From the Wokewatch channel, which is mostly this kind of slop.

Oh no! That’s a big blunder, boffins.

It's been ages since I've gone near Twitter, but I remember he was a fashy little prick and, on this evidence, still is. Disgusting that Musk is indulging him.

I have no idea who to thank for this, sorry.

If I'm going to use this app at all, I have to tidy up first.
