I don't judge anyone for compromising their principles in order to live comfortably. We all do it. But nobody made you shout encouragement to this sack of nazi shit. You did that entirely on your own volition, and that makes you a terrible person

The fuck was Robert Redford doing in this movie? He's 15 years older than the character he's playing is supposed to be

I don't get it. Why would they do this? They already don't follow it, why announce they don't? What do they gain?
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social) reply parent
Not bad! Decent movie. Stacked cast. Kinda fizzles out at the end, but it's a fine flick
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social) reply parent
Always has been I guess, but seeing it laid out like this in 1992 is crazy

it's the Dumbarton, but that pier next to it is LONG gone
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social) reply parent
The Dumbarton also makes an appearance in Harold and Maude, when they get pulled over by the Motorcycle cop. However, they blew up and rebuilt the Dumbarton between movies

Fucking goated Bay area movie!
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social) reply parent
Nice. Quite a solid Bay Area movie, just like I remebered
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social) reply parent
That hacking is mostly social engineering is a thing this movie shockingly understands
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
Sneakers time in honer of Robert Redford. Don't remember how good the movie is but it's a good Bay Area movie if memory serves, and that's good enough for me

The Naked Gun's running time was 85 minutes, which was still probably 10 minutes too long, but it nailed the basic tone of the originals, a joke a second, some hits, some misses. It was fine

I fucking hate Schumer, but people on Bluesky need to realize that they aren't the audience for political rhetoric, especially when it comes to actual negotiations about a real thing

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

If they pull it off, I can't help but think what they're doing with The Warlord/Magnifico/the Mule is going to be one of the boldest narrative choices ever made in a TV show
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
Told ya so
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
To lay it out before the Foundation finale - Bayta is the real Mule, Magnifico is the baby in the flashback. Maybe he's in on it but I think he's exactly what he appears to be: a simpleton who plays the Visi-Sonor real good
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
He did it at Duke. Couldn't make it up

I could be missing someone but I'm pretty sure that Charlie Kirk is at worst the 3rd most famous person ever assassinated by a sniper. That's closer to Unicorn than Zebra
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
It's like an Agatha Christie mystery. Everyone had a motive to kill him
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
All of our elites really honest to god loved Charlie Kirk. It's fucking crazy! I've really never even given this dude a second thought. I don't know the difference between him and Ben Shapiro or Steven Crowder. But I guess a bunch of democratic governors listened to his podcast every day

My problem with this is the opposite. I want every frame to be photoshopped. I think everything in every frame should be deliberate, and not the decision of a computer averaging everything out. But I think that ship has sailed, unfortunately
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
But it's an animated movie. Every frame in every animated movie is already photoshopped, by definition. I hate ai as much as anyone, but I don't get this complaint at all

You;d think cottage cheese would be a limey favorite, but no! They have it, but barely. and it's the worst cottage cheese conceivable. Americans go overboard with protein for sure, but limeys have never heard of the concept
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
The thing about limeys is that they have no idea what protein is. I was there for 6 weeks last year and seriously they don't even have protein shakes! it's crazy

Domestication isn't selective breeding. Not any more than a lion eating the slowest antelope is anyway. Turning wolves into dogs isn't the same process as turning a generic dog into a new breed of dog, for instance
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
This dude is a generational political communicator* *or maybe I'm a sucker for movie references, but it's all the other stuff too!
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social) reply parent
Domestication isn't artificial selection. The process of domestication is the same kind of sorting mechanism as goes on between a predator and it's prey. Human's are choosing individuates that have traits that work well with humans, but they aren't choosing what those traits are

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

It's not overweight vs. in shape, it's in-shape vs Chris Evans holding a helicopter to the pad with his only his biceps. It's my instinct(and I think probably most heterosexual men's instinct) that the women would vastly prefer Chris Evans, but it's my observation that that this isn't remotely true

Life is a rich tapestry and all, but I am 99.9% certain that women as a whole aren't nearly into muscles as men as a whole think they are
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
I don't think it's fair to call me sexist and misogynistic for talking about what I saw as the male gaze. I wasn't talking about what women 'fancy', not really. I was talking about what I saw in men, myself very much included
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social) reply parent
I might have oversold it a bit, but my point is that these sorts of big muscle shots are shot for men, not women

It's not that women are opposed to big muscles, it's just they aren't a selling point
Jeff F. (@grung0r.bsky.social)
It was at this moment, looking around the theater, every man's mouth agape, and every woman not giving a single shit, that I realized big huge glistening muscles are shot for the male gaze only. We think chicks dig them, but we're wrong

My contribution to the birthrate discourse is that birthrates are governed by our DNA honed by millions of years of evolution. If we as a society face a situation where we need more children we'll have more children. Simple as. We're doing just fine

I can't be 100% sure I guess, but none of this stuff imagery followed from any other imagery in the video. Like, why is there an elephant in the restaurant or a truck in the power cables? No reason whatsoever

The Sabrina Carpenter Manchild video has plainly AI generated imagery, but none of it is janky like ai video used to be, and in fact most of it is pretty seamless and invisible

This is good. There was a theory, initially promulgated by @dandrezner.bsky.social (I think?) that Iraq (2003) basically broke realists' brains - there's no real way to explain it w/out resorting to domestic politics, and this drove Mearsheimer (and Walt) mad.
