Just re-watched the movie last night. It's absolutely glorious.
Rickman being the best actor both on set and in character is wonderful to watch.
Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day

"I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off.

There's silence for a second.

"Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."
Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.

В истории с этим парнем с ножом в школе интереснее всего полное поражение РФ в культурном плане.
Манифест, надписи на шлеме и прочее - полностью западный культурный контекст.
BLM, замещение, Батаклан и прочий Брейвик
Крокус-сити/беслан/нодост, рамзан и допустим пригожин- не интересуют.

Когда 99% контента который потребляешь, и примерно 90% разговоров в твоей жизни происходят не на русском, то начинаешь забывать слова
Очень неприятно

Github starting to charge for fucking SELF-HOSTED runners is certainly a choice. A very bad one.
Charging for shit that runs on customers' own infrastructure when your reputation is already at an all-time low is borderline self-harm

I was thinking that RAM pricing is just a meme. Well, it turned out that the joke is on me.
2 Years ago, I bought 16G for a media server for €25. Now it's costing €‎180-200 for the same two sticks.
ROI is off the charts.

Anyway, seems like initial screeching from """gamers""" regarding the TGA sweep by E33 has subsided.
I'm still obsessed not with the game and story, but music specifically. It's my most-played album on Spotify this year by a big margin.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Watching cyclocross over the weekend made me remember that this year there would be no World Cup in Dublin.
It's a pity, these were the three great events over 2022-2024. I petition for Flanders Classics to bring back CX to Dublin

In the meantime head of "Trust and Safety" has suspended an account whose husband was abducted by ICE and then posted fucking meme mocking said account
So they are speedrunning twitter arc of "Make site MAGA and nazi friendly". Very legal and very cool(not)

In other words, capitalism demands that profit-seeking is moral and restraining it—even for reasons of morality—is immoral.

🗣️Capitalism is a system making moral claims.🗣️
The disconnect of the market in capitalism from morality—or better said the unregulated market as morality—has been there from Smith (see: The Moral Economy of the English Crowd in the 19th Century by EP Thompson), but it has certainly escalated and likely at an increasing rate since deregulation.

Huh, so it looks like #Eurovision is dead.
Well, I mean Germany and Israel would participate, and Israel would win. But even the countries that started it all are boycotting this time

The Game Awards this year would be a bloodbath. Too many great games came out, so every win would be considered a robbery against an equally deserving candidate.
Expedition 33, Silksong, KCD2, kojimas walking simulator 2.0, etc.

So, movies like Saw or Rambo 5 are completely ok, where we have people being torn to shreds on screen, but having slightly non-vanilla porn is worse than Hitler

Arc Raiders plays like "Ukrainian War The Sim"
Quad copter drones are deadly and constantly buzz overhead, with player having to break line of sight, scrapping for resources.

So i just realised that we drink A LOT of tea at home. More than 200 grams of whole leaf per month, and that's for 2 persons. Around a 1.5-2 kilos per person per year!

In a weird way, you've got to take your hat off to Jeffrey Epstein for successfully running a sex trafficking ring without a single one of his rich friends finding out about it.

Паб, в котором проходит афтерпати после представления, имеет лицензию до 23 часов, поэтому после этого времени они закрывают двери и делают вид что никого нет внутри.

So, "No Politics In Cycling" UCI president Lappartient is apparently not only supporting usual bunch of dictators like Turkmen's Berdimuhamedow and Rwanda's Kagame, but also disgraced Sarkozy.
Yet protesting for Palestine is no bueno.
