I'm calling it now from the trailer alone: in Bugonia, Emma Stone IS actually an alien and those two idiots are the only ones who are ACTUALLY RIGHT.
No I haven't seen or read the original or know anything else so please let me sit in this until I get to see it.

I saw many comments to the tune of "hey Star Wars, to whatever you try to do after Andor: good luck."
They already found the right answer to how to follow Andor and it's Fortnite.
Star Wars Fortnite right now whips ass.
Great job.

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

I was investigating visual artifacts in Satisfactory the other day. The REALLY bad ones were a driver problem so I rolled back but in the process I found DLSS being wrong in ways I don't remember it being a year ago....

Watching the phlebotomist swipe my credit card in the exam room before drawing my blood was a surreal late-stage capitalist experience.
It's been normalized but is NOT normal. They don't even pay a reception person to do the payment, it's the nurse. Private healthcare is terrible.

Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

I moved to a suburb a couple years ago. The libraries are all closed on Sunday. Is this a suburb thing or a political erosion of public infrastructure thing? I can't tell.

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake
