i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten
if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
Mark Carney just allowed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to fly through Canada despite a warrant for his arrest and the country being a signatory to the Rome Statute. We have aided and embedded one of history's greatest monsters
finally some proper fuckin cinema
Our second video concerns biopics. Not the ethics of how they’re put together (we covered that last time) but their many structural pitfalls, and the very specific cheat code that one Canadian filmmaker discovered. As this video’s topic starts with B, next week’s will start with C. Any guesses?

Officially starting my youtube channel today, with a video that begins with Amadeus, and the ethics of fictionalizing history, but gradually veers into Ryan Murphy shows and When We Cease to Understand the World. As this video’s topic starts with A, next week’s will start with B. Any guesses?

Good sail tonight. Strong winds. Capsized twice trying to do roll tacks. The lake flushes after a big rainstorm, and the water gets shockingly cold. Needed to focus on righting the boat. Wasn't able to spot any submarines tonight. Next week, maybe.
As someone who asked government for thirty years, and I mean directly to the highest echelons every chance I could, for someone to take seriously our appalling security posture with NATO and the USA, and was repeatedly there-thered about it, I’m furious seeing the same people now with “concerns”
I reject AI and the sad future it portends. The point of life, our gloriously 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 raison d'etre, is to use one's own brain to write code to make corporations money.
