Invasion on AppleTV posits a world where there's an active alien invasion, 30% of the atmosphere has been terraformed, there's no internet, and there's a working global economic system and billionaires are running shit, like cash still means something; what's the inflation rate in an alien invasion?

AppleTV really out here asking for $20 to rent a newer movie, when you can but it for $5 more. I ain't buying shit & this is why p2p still makes more sense than fucking paying $20 to rent a goddamn movie.

Also! Don't go into a 'voluntary' interview with police! Just don't, and if you're detained, one word, for as long as it takes, lawyer. and don't say incriminating shit on the jail phone, come on man!

Just finished Ep3 of The Yogurt Shop Murders and, putting on my defense lawyer hat, lack of any physical should mean that the prosecutor shouldn't even bring it forward, regardless of an 8 yr after the fact confession. I have plenty of issues with the 'evidence' that prosecutors use already!

Rewatching Better Off Dead, I don't remember it, didn't see it in theaters for sure, but prob when it came out in VHS. Gonna be looking at it for how it stands up & thinking about how watching this movie might have affected 12 yo me.

Alien: Earth has me going on wild thought experiments; remins me of reading Parfit's 'Reasons and Persons' - amongst transhumanists there's a prioritization of 'mind' that doesn't accept that w/o the body there is no experiencing humanness... Also Jane's Addiction 'Ocean Size' was fun to hear.

My understanding is that since they started out as a resource for mainly gay men during the AIDS crisis they have had growing pains including first lesbians and then trans, but it has def grown to be more inclusive but it was a struggle for a while.
Bmorerican (@rafspike.bsky.social) reply parent
I am not trans but have been a Chase Brexton client for a long time. I too have heard some negative experiences and also know ppl who have have good experiences. I hope they've gotten rid of the ppl who seemed to be causing the negative impact.

As a once cultural studies academic type I find the critique carries with it an anti intellectual strain that is esp right now when the Trump admin is destroying the humanities dangerous

It is still good , even though I sometimes find the rah ray America of it a bit over the top, esp these days but it offered an optimistic view of politics and that is both good and bad imo
Bmorerican (@rafspike.bsky.social) reply parent
I see, I'm a super fan, watched the whole show at least 3 times, there was one reasonable republican, but there was a lot of evil republicans throughout the show. I mean, the show did show a utopian world where politics wasn't as dirty as in reality, and that view did skew things a bit

One of Silicon Valley's foundational myths is that newcomers to a field are uniquely equipped to solve its problems because they're not weighed down by biases and habits that make "experts" overlook obvious solutions. "The most dangerous phrase in the language is: We've always done it this way." 🧵

I've been a lazy student of history for 50 years. Many things are horrible & sad. One of the worst was the genocide of the Taino people by the Spanish. Extra evil because of the 100% extermination achieved. This crash course, giving fuller context, made me cry in rage, & joy. FUCK Colonialism!
