Mmm I hope this doesn't affect the significant contribution that Brazilian film fans make to my number when I make a Tár joke on Bluesky.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

I alas can't take credit for this theory but you can thank the edgy Calvin & Hobbes fan forums I visited when I was a teenager (The internet was a different place in 2002)

The critical standing of Fight Club today is interesting because people seem to be coming back around to it now mostly as we are back to the same Gen X nihilistic mindset now rather than the millennial tech optimist years in-between now and 1999.

I'm not an "all art is political" guy but an artist without a viewpoint is impossible, even the chat bots have a viewpoint.

There was a time where every TV show was a sensible woman, a smart alec guy and a weird older man who had some arcane knowledge. They solved over 2 hundred mysteries.

Now that everyone is onboard with Exorcist II and III, I humbly submit "Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist" as the underrated one.

It's very funny Denis Villeneuve is directing Bond. You know how Bond loves his quips? We got the biggest director who doesn't like characters talking!

It's Jazz Festival Weekend in Cork and... oh no, it's the Jazz Police! They are looking through my folders and talking to my niece!
