Just rewatched GATTACA. A masterpiece. Perfect movie. A futuristic neo-noir that still has something to say.
Also I found a draft of the script online that has a different ending than what made it to screen. Glad they didn’t go this way, would’ve really changed the feeling of that ending (spoilers)

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways?

I truly don't want to come off as really mean, but it's so bizarre to see the glut of folks on social media with nothing to contribute and the seemingly pervasive idea that every post they see online is directed toward *them* personally

- Drinking leaded gasoline straight from the pump
- Chewing on a big bar of lead whenever you were bored

The hallmarks of a liberal scolding:
1: They will assign no blame whatsoever to the Democrats who actually wielded power
2: Rather hallucinate an argument with a hypothetical pro-Gaza person that didn't deliver a single bomb to Israel
Biden did more than 100 weapon sales to Israel since Oct 7th.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”
“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”
“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”
“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”
Pause.
“I needed to make a statement.”

Impeccable denounement for Biden: cheered a stunt bill designed to outflank challenges on the right, made into a law he won't enforce before leaving office because it's unpopular, as the Republican who goaded him into doing it promises to overturn the law.
