You gotta use a petard when hoisting yourself up by your bootstraps. Ideally someone else’s petard, not your own.

500 words a day is a good goal, I should probably stop screwing around with higher word counts that keep me away from the project entirely....

It is comically irresponsible how the news media claims Trump is a "changed man" and "somber" and "serene" and "adopting a new tone"

you guys, I know we're going through a lot right now, I know we're processing a lot right now, but I think it's important to understand that the lemon White Claw is SHIT, it's SHIT, it's fucking SHIT. thank u

none of this will ever see the light of day, sorry. this is just what admins start rolling out when they think they're going to lose. if they lose, they'll never have to keep their promises. if they win, they simply won't.

an immersion blender might be just right for you in that case. it's more like a utensil than an appliance but is extremely versatile.

a tip, if I may: using a regular or immersion blender, puree roughly half the solids in this (or any soup). imo the ideal "let everybody get a chance to get to know each other" part of soup-making.

On Amazon Prime Day, they should make all movies with prime numbers in the title free for streaming -- Terminator 2; Three Kings; 7 Years in Tibet; Ocean's Eleven and Thirteen (but not 12 or 8); Apollo 13; 61*; 101 Dalmatians, 127 Hours ...

Republicans are just jealous because the adult film industry is WAAAAAAAAAY more stringent about "best practices for avoiding getting thrown in jail" than the Trump cohort.

I know I say this a lot but it's true: any politician/pundit/business shithead who proclaims that all porn is the same as CSA material -----> instant laptop check. no warrant, no knock, just Feds scooping up any device you own that can store pics or video. think of it like "mowing the lawn"
Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

it's incredibly tempting! I think young people just cracking into cinephilia (inc. me), for a variety of reasons (not all having to do with cinephilia), find the Total Control version of directing a lot more satisfying than the "grain of sand in the tsunami" version.

"auteur theory" was never intended to explain the role of the director as being the mastermind behind every artistic decision in a given film; the more common use case for auteurism is a director's vision being forceful enough to imprint itself on an otherwise uncooperative form.
okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

even when looking at the great films that most non-enthusiasts may recognize as auteur films (think Kubrick, Tati, Fincher, Wes Anderson), the Total Control interpretation only goes so far.

Couldn't you have called this something different John Woo? It was only last year we had the best film to ever have that exact title. Just feels like you're trying to make that title all about you. www.imdb.com/title/tt1121...

That Bluesky dev guy said he would work on adding features for filtering out people you don’t follow and similar things, I have to figure this place is unmanageable for a certain follower count otherwise.

go easy on Jack Black, he's a bit tetchy about political assassination humor since Bruce Willis used a heavily modded KPV heavy machine gun to turn him into marinara sauce back in '97
