Little Andromeda is a cool Christchurch arts venue always operating on a shoestring while still bringing it. This year, they're $50K short on their operating budget because of local and national arts funding squeeze.

"Wait, John are you really not excited for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey?"
Remember in TENET when you couldn't hear the dialogue and the sound gave everyone a headache and Nolan proudly proclaimed that he did the sound mix bad on purpose?
"Oh yeah, he did do that ..."

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Drafting some 'best of the year' posts and it turns out I've been on an old book kick for most of the year? So rather than talk about Parable of the Sower/Talents, or 1984, or House on the Borderlands etc I'm just going to make a thread shouting out the only 4 books from the 2020s I read this year

"Oh you also like 40k?" and the algorithm gets truly cursed.
Honestly, history and 40k videos are either the most deluded fash nonsense imaginable or the occasional queer leftist nerd who's actually great. There is zero in between.

Very funny moment at a friend's dance recital when one of the MCs, doing auidience work related to an upcoming Peaky Blinders themed dance, asked the crowd of 120ish kiwis to 'make some noise if you're a fan of the royal family!' only to be met with complete silence.

If you're in Ōtautahi, or will be in Ōtautahi sometime before April, go to the art gallery to see Unutai E! Unutai E! Kai Tahu and Anne Noble present images of Te Waipounamu's waterways as part of Kai Tahu's high court freshwater claim. The kōrero on these walls is like nothing else.

I will go to my grave screaming about how Pennywise being a clown hits completely different for anyone under 40 or 50, because the original intent was that Pennywise LOOKED HARMLESS, because “IT” predates scary clowns, & if the story were modern, Pennywise would manifest as a ninja turtle or Luffy

In Sinners, certain musicians can channel the core essence of humanity; to weave the love, the community, the history that binds people together into song; to create a joy so fundamentally human that supernatural predators are drawn to consume it.
'I Lied To You' is believable as such a song.

For the record, I don’t support a social media age ban.
Leaving aside that it won’t work, and it will cause negative externalities by having kids hide illegal activities and being less likely to talk to parents about such, not to mention impacting queer kids more, it’s a sop for real regulation.
