A sentence I would rather never hear, yet here we are: "Global Warming Has Accelerated Significantly". #ClimateChange 🧪 Link: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2025GL118804
The Bellamy salute was removed from schools in The USA in 1942 then "One Nation Under God" was added in 1952.
I have a very old Porsche and when I parked it next to its contemporary counterpart it looked miniscule and if you ask anyone in a vacuum about the size of the new one they will unironically tell you it is tiny. If you stand broadside to the new one and take two steps back mine will be invisible.
In 2008, I told a friend to come find me in the giant truck as a 2008 or 2009 Toyota Tacoma, and looking back, that was quaint, because that thing is comparatively tiny now.
I agree with Odyssey, Dunkirk, Inception especially and Dark Knight. Further. Spartacus is trash.

Hot take: James Bond and Captain America are intrinsic to whiteness the way Black Panther is Black. They are government agents that uphold (neo) imperialism, Bond especially, and are vectors for state sanctioned violence within (Captain) and without (Bond). Bond was created by on old money spy.

It affects thrillers as well. Undercover agents/snitches wearing wires have been contrived for 45 years because the technology is sensitive/miniaturized. Hermits aside going missing without it being noticed is unlikely. I once slept 16 hours after 13 and 6 hour flights. 4 people checked, concerned.
Ọ@loslga.bsky.social · 11h agoFrom the 80s onwards horror has been in an odd place. Touch tone dialing, cell phones, beepers, affordable cameras/smartphones have made most pre-1980s scenarios implausible. From then on the killer(s) had to cut the phone lines, remove everyone's phones or it was set in the wilderness.

One thing I will never do is save seats or parking spaces. It punishes strangers that showed up before my people and encourages their tardiness. This causes issues with my Nigerian brethren.
Turning on hazard lights is not the real life equivalent of a video game cheat code to park indiscriminately, no matter how inconsiderate.
"Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power" "Raymond is no longer seeking to gainsay the science behind climate change,” ... “Instead he simply predicts an endless rise in the demand for the fossil fuels his company sells, and maintains that there is nothing that can be done to alter that.
ExxonMobil similarly made a lot of predictions for 2030 in 2005 and their only oversight is how much China would adopt electric cars and that is balanced against overestimating how much North America would use hybrid and full electric.
Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power" by Steve Coll - "ExxonMobil advanced a carefully designed, research-tested campaign to persuade political and media elites that while the oil industry should not necessarily be loved, it should be understood as inevitable."

The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest man made structure for 3,800 years. Only Strasbourg Cathedral (227) has done more than a century and since the first industrial revolution only 3 have held it for more than 20. 4 if Jeddah Tower is delayed more and Burk Khalifa keeps the record.

It's very weird the way he's letting those stranger white women touch on him and if this was in English everyone would immediately understand this as fetishization.

A Yakuza starts a small town vampire epidemic his gang tries to stop. Then an unrelated monster wearing a frog costume appears and they have to kill it, which succeeds until the monster grows and rampages. The end.
Except Yakuza Apocalypse. Though that is less demented and more that if I try to describe it to someone they would think the remainder of my sanity had left.
Ichi the Killer and Audition are the two most demented movies ibayev ever seen. After A Serbian Film. I always assumed Takashi Miike was going through something around then because his other movies are mostly normal.
Saw, Hostel, House of a Thousand Corpses. Generation X turned 30 and their inner demonic energy came out.
A few weeks ago I was with some friends. The over 35s all played Street Fighter 2 for hours. The two over 50s would demolish us 7/10 times. The fee times anyone under 30 joined us it was a total deconstruction and they lost interest.
Racists have begun saying Bantu people are not indigenous to Southern Africa using spurious timelines and definitions of migrations.

Battles Without Honor and Humanity and The God of Gamblers series are my equivalent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"After crossing the 100-gigawatt mark in 2012, it took the world 10 years to deploy 1 terawatt of solar power. An additional 1 terawatt, enough to meet all of US power demand ... took less than three years to build. Not even two years later in 2026 ... the 3-terawatt threshold was reached."

The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.
