Do people just not write dialogue anymore? This entire scene feels like did a first draft with a bunch of "[insert joke line here]".

Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

HAPPY JOHN CAGE AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE NOTE CHANGE DAY

depths of wikipedia@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 7h ago

for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

in re Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains" (which, in the original Martian Chronicles, occurs on today's date), I didn't realize the very first published version of the story, in Collier's magazine, was set in April 1985. (the current edition of Martian Chronicles now sets it in 2057).

I was googling some dialog from a puzzle in genshin impact to identify which puzzle it is so I could find hints, and the google AI seems to think I've been in some kind of coma or cryostasis for hundreds of years? this is genuinely the weirdest one of these I've ever seen

I coded a web app that xerox's your images for fun! Just drag an image in and play with the dials. If nothing shows up (or it's all black) you may want to play with the threshold (first slider). Press "S" to save the image! editor.p5js.org/Chaoclypse/f...

Bar a few exceptions, book cover art and design has become so uninspired and boring in the 21st century, like everything else that's fallen to the practice of blanding. Book covers such as these below were so enticing and exciting. I really miss this.

I started looking at 70s/80s sci-fi novel covers for the vibes, but now I want to read every last one of them.

The 1950 Ray Bradbury story "There Will Be Soft Rains" is about life after the nuclear holocaust. As a reddit post pointed out, it is set far in the future: Aug. 4, 2026 - tomorrow. www.reddit.com/r/books/comm...

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:
