In TÁR, Lydia Tár is obviously working with a lot more intellectual firepower than that well-meaning but shallow student is, but she's also blinkered in a different way, is pointlessly cruel, and is insulated by power. There, I've explained the movie, no further debate needed.
i was wondering how the stunt coordinator in this video ended up with an eyepatch (i figured it was from a stunt gone wrong) so i looked it up and it turns out he lost his eye when he was shot 4 times by a hitman hired by his ex-wife to kill him https://t.co/6TXYKlL7gH
@casualhexes Search terms that yielded a particular result no longer yield those results, very noticeable with google books specifically. Fringe/marginal materials getting harder to locate. General research results becoming uniform/cookie cutter
its apex form is in the crypto world, the "DAO" or "Distributed Autonomous Organization", which seeks to replace management as well with a sufficiently advanced computer program that will autonomously hire, pay, and fire contractors. A being of pure profit with only shareholders.
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing “the” labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.
From a gay man held as a teen in a mental institution, 1962-4: "I remember this one doctor who was talking about homosexuality. And he said, well, there is a normal homosexual period between 8 and 12 and beyond that it's abnormal. So I piped up and said 'Is that a.m. or p.m.?'"
I, too, hate it when movies intro new characters by having them do things. I also hate it when movies that have the word “Mystery” in the title contain scenes whose ultimate purpose is not yet known toward the beginning. https://t.co/sTqvuam9ND
They'll have a really hard time recasting this one because I've never known any man bold enough to try his hand at a Rick or Morty impression https://t.co/JJyzkRvh4U
It is unethical to create footage of a real person, without consent, doing something that person didn’t do, if it’s meant to be impossible to detect. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s neat. https://t.co/eYMlqtH56A
"We have never canceled a successful show. A lot of these shows were well-intended but talk to a very small audience on a very big budget." - Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos | https://t.co/3LTqKvoTg5 https://t.co/swHqzT6gXe
Justin Roiland will be hard to recast, though. He didn't just play Rick and Morty, but loads of minor characters.
Google "Justin Roiland Minors" for a full list. https://t.co/oJkGcvBpV0
Honestly, the fact that I say things like “wear your clothes as long as possible, wash them properly, don’t overuse laundry detergent, don’t use dryer sheets, don’t do hauls,” and ppl will still scream shows the real issue - for a lot of folks - is not wanting to change ANYTHING.
not to sound like a snob but it genuinely is sad to see young people passionate about learning get sucked into LinkedIn investment pop psychology learning styles healthy habits start-up finance podcast culture because that's the only framework of learning they've come across https://t.co/6md8k2cPCv
people in atlanta did literally everything in their power to stop cop city the "right" way. countless hours spent canvassing, testifying at public meetings, calling in to public comment, liaising w elected officials, sending open records requests, etc. they were summarily ignored

It’s rarely done well because most people making these choices don’t understand graffiti beyond a vandalism or grievance-airing lens. They use it to signify a breakdown of the social order instead of a way to reclaim space and make the walls “whisper, shout, and sing” (Dogancay) https://t.co/vpezj357HA
