Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

It's easy to fake smart. Just go around saying "out of the mouths of babes" and you'll be looked at like Nostradamus.

It’s also entirely possible that the reason Remmick is Irish is because Coogler genuinely loves Irish music and that would still be a 1,000,000% valid reason for him to be Irish because his music scenes f**king rip.
(good discussion here btw)

I think that's a great point. I'm just not sure it jibes with all the stuff about juju and the Irish being turned against the other Other by virtue of being assimilated first etc etc.

I’ve done 2 full playthroughs of the FFT remaster and I can already feel that I want to do a classic run next.
@bryanchung13.bsky.social I’m in so deep. I’ve never had higher expectations that were so devastatingly surpassed. Gaming will never surpass 2025. It’s over.

Ended my night by finally starting ranked matches in Fatal Fury and the only opponent I beat was someone playing Ken Masters. This is great because Ken Masters is a loathsome dime-store trash pile. I play as Andy Bogard and Ken makes a joke about he's not Terry and it's like...you're not Ryu.
