I just finished "The Colour of Magic" and now I am irrationally angry with myself for taking so long to get into Discworld. Making plans like, "If I read one entry every season to keep from getting sick of them, then I can finish the whole series in... over a decade. FUCK."

We can finally stop explaining how Y2K wasn't mindless alarmism because now we have to explain how election interference wasn't fear mongering.
Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)
my god, it looks like the person in Arkansas who administered the bar exam took bribes in exchange for altering scores from fails to passes (and there appears to be one example of an alteration in the opposite direction). details are thin, but she's been indicted: arcourts.gov/sites/defaul...
Whatever else happens tonight, I do find it hilarious that Pulaski County may go Libertarian when that was the only alternative to Rutledge. #arpx
I've always thought IoT was a terrible idea. Every year since it began to be implemented, I've been proven more and more correct, and am now achieving levels of correctness beyond my wildest dreams.

Re-watching "Clone Wars" and recalling how counterproductive it seems to have a droid army that's programmed for bungling AND war crimes.
With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.
After The Shining, Scatman Crothers was convinced that film-making was always an interminable, nightmarish ordeal. On his first day on his next film, "Bronco Billy", Eastwood had them moving to the next scene after fewer than three takes, and Crothers wept with joy.
Amy "Thunderjam" Chase@amythunderjam.bsky.social · 3w agoWe all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.
Elon Musk, gesturing to taxidermied monkey with a trout tail sewn on: So ez yoo kin see, huh huh, uh, wiv made rill mehmaids. Uh. Huh. End yull be able t’hug end kiss thum soon. The press: Elon Musk, who has always had hair, makes every boy’s wish come true

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 3w agoSony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

I agree. I just finished "My Cousin Rachel" and the dude who wrote it really nailed the voice and psyche of his proto-volcel male protagonist in ways I found both relatable and repellant. Now to take a big sip of coffee while looking up the author so I can credit him properly...

Considering becoming a personality-maxxing influencer. Still involves a surprising amount of hitting myself in the face with a hammer.
Still no campaign ads where a candidate performs Stellan Skarsgård's "Make it stop" scene from Andor. The clock is ticking, so-called 'strategists'.
Are you a "Law & Order" scene transition? Because you sound like a dumb-dumb.
After a bad meeting, social club takes public transit to Coney Island.
Let the Right Hon In@danhon.com · 2mo agoMake your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A chief technology officer is worried about keeping his spreadsheets private.

Can the next celebrity death please be someone who sucks shit?
Do opossums wonder about the blank spots in their memory when they're "playing dead"? My murder-puppy was savaging one at midnight last night and needed to come inside because she was making too much noise. Does it think that possum god extended its prehensile tail and raptured the killer dog away?
Finally realized that when the Gentleman with the Thistledown Hair appears in "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell", I'm picturing David Bowie from "Labyrinth".
