My pal Matt Haughey recut the first season of Apple TV’s Murderbot into a 3.5-hour-long movie. “I did it fast so there are a few jarring cuts, but I now have an entertaining as hell movie with zero interruptions.” [a.wholelottanothing.org]

Murderbot is a *perfect film*

A couple months ago, we sat down on a weekend and decided to binge re-watch the whole debut season of Murderbot and it was really enjoyable. But fast-forwarding through all the recaps and title/credits screens quickly got old, and I wondered what it'd be like to cut all ten

I ate at loads of high end restaurants all over Italy for two full weeks but the absolute best risotto I had ever on earth was in Rome’s main train station cafeteria.

Here’s a topic outside the news. What’s the most unlikely place you’ve ever had the best particular food or drink you’ve ever had? Like, not the best steak at the world’s top steakhouse. Something weirder. Best burger I’ve ever had? Fresno airport. Best cup of coffee? Crater Lake Lodge.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle. 2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%. The average human is around 20-40%, for reference. They're *all* muscle.

A comparison, showing a hippo standing in shallow water, and a see-through model of a hippo with an extremely thin layer of subcutaneous fat and skin over a body that's thick with muscle.

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

"They canceled cancer research, closed hospitals and took food away from millions of hungry kids both at home and abroad to build concentration camps for immigrants and give billionaires another jet."

The couch to 5k running program slowly builds endurance with about 16 hours of running spread over 9 weeks. Every year, my town has a turkey trot at 9am on Thanksgiving. So, at 5pm yesterday I began running nonstop so that by 9am today I should be fully trained in the most efficient way possible

My wife & I flew to Kansas City for the #NWSL women's soccer championship but our hotel canceled our reservation and we ended up staying at another place on the Missouri side. To kill time before tonight's 7pm game we might go see Wicked since we're not in Kansas anymore.
