Spider-Man in his mid 20s with a struggle apartment working non-stop for no pay alienated from his old friends and yearning for his high school crush was so relatable
It’s been this way for years, but Facebook is especially dead now. Sometimes I even get a notification, after like one minute of scrolling, that “there are no more posts to display”
Remember when people were openly into “people watching.” Just like going to the mall and sitting there looking at everyone walking past. We have not sufficiently debriefed that as a cultural phenomenon
They should have Daniel Craig do it again hut give him the Benoit Blanc accent

Someone just said "Venom" and it awakened a long-forgotten memory: in 2010, summer after sixth grade, drinking one of these horrendous energy drinks while playing mini-golf with my friends at Volcano Falls in Rockford, Illinois

There's probably only one use for AI in film that I would appreciate, and that's synching the actors mouths to the dubbed dialogue on the all the otherwise-brilliant '50s-'80s Italian films
One of the most important practical lessons of being on church staff is that "a mist in the pulpit is a fog in the pews." In other words, however clear you are, will only be understood with 60% clarity, so you had better be as crystal clear as humanly possible, or nobody will get anything.
I missed that Pope Leo mentioned his family history in an NBC News interview the other day. It really is quite remarkable that in selecting an American Pope, they ended up with someone whose family story embodies so many complexities of American history, both positive and negative.
Pope Leo details family’s slavery history in visit with Tom Llamas
For the first time on camera, Pope Leo XIV discussed his family’s history with slavery. “I come from a family that my grandparents were immigrants. On my mother’s side we have people who were both sla...

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

The government already has my proof of employment because I pay payroll taxes every two weeks. Why can’t they just use that to show that I’m eligible for Medicaid, Snap, etc. (I know, the actual reason is to bleed the rolls)

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 3d agoStill can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
