@moviehooligan.bsky.social @iwriteok.bsky.social Based on a comment Robert made I looked up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diggers; what are the odds that weird Tom Cruise movie is based on an old agrarian socialism movement?

I right that The Watchers also had a weird superficial metaphor about AI? The prof said that “at first… it made my eyes too big, miscounted my fingers…”
It seemed very obvious and possibly dumb, so I was surprised y’all didn’t mention it

@ohheygreat.bsky.social I hit the exact right age back in the day that you were an influential voice for me; I think I turned out more or less okay (at least not super toxic). I believe your columns were part of that— they were meaningful and important. Thank you for what you did. Happy Hanukkah.

@knowledgefight.bsky.social I was listening to an old ep, and if Jordan hasn’t read it, he might like “The Sparrow” by Mary Doria Russell, about Jesuits being the first group to encounter extraterrestrials

So apparently clicking on a photo (not a video) here lowers the volume on apps playing sound. That’s weird. Also weird, the other app slowly increases in sound when it’s clear there was no sound disruption.
Hopefully a settings dive here will end that nonsense
