“He's actually saying that it's racist to say that black people are ineligible to work with predominantly white casts and only hire them when the franchise decides to make a predominantly black movie. He was correct.”

ppl talk a lot about how hard it is to make friends as an adult, & I have thoughts on that but imo an underexplored problem space is how to move “person you vibe super well with, but have only met twice” from friendly acquaintance to bff when you’re both super busy & have lives— elle (@ellegist) May 7, 2023

I'm obsessed with how Hader is crafting this season of BARRY with a total focus on narrative economy, and instead of indulgently padding each episode to 50+ minutes, finds the fewest amount of scenes possible to tell the most amount of story and character. it's incredible.— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) May 8, 2023

Ok we all wanna bring back mammoths with cloning, but there are some weirdos I think we should also consider.PROCOPTODON: giant pug-faced kangaroo with forward-facing eyes.

We've basically accepted that a bunch of innocent people will regularly get massacred so that, in the incredibly unlikely event of America becoming a dictatorship, people will be able to shoot soldiers. https://t.co/VwpqBqh6qF— James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) May 7, 2023

I think it might be time to reconsider whether atomic design helps or hinders the creation of designs and systemsIt’s been the de facto rule for looking at interfaces for a long time, but I find that sometimes it can actually create more confusion 💫 pic.twitter.com/cOqywx2DKZ— luis.

“Average rent in the US is currently about $1,700. For you to be "financially stable" aka not at heightened risk of homelessness, it's advised you make 3x your rent. That's $61,200/yr. That's the minimum we should ALL be making to be STABLE. So, no, 75k is not outrageous wealth.”

“Nice weekend. Finally shot a roll that didn't stink. $25 rolls of portra 400 35mm remain undefeated, unfortunately.”

“Progressives do "motivated reasoning" to a truly obnoxious degree. It feels like they are always just bullshitting and not saying what they really intuitively think and coming up with reasons to validate what they want to believe.”

Went on a date. Didn’t feel a connection.Female friend argued I shouldn’t just move on, but say:“Thanks again for meeting up! I didn’t feel there was a match, but take care!”I wasn’t sure about it, but I sent the message, and my date hearted it! Directness ftw. 🤷‍♂️— Carlos De la Guardia (@dela3499) April 30, 2023

the funny thing about internet censorship in the age of LLMs is that China literally cannot train a GPT-4 equivalent language model without explicitly scraping data from American websites outside of the Great Firewall, which is illegal— Andi 🇦🇱🇺🇦 (@Nexuist) April 29, 2023

“I once heard a bespoke tailor suggest this is increasingly common in modern society because people have desk jobs, so their legs are weak. He said his clients who do manual labor have the opposite posture: knees slightly bent and hips back.”

I hate how in the new trend of "oners," they often call attention(!) to themselves, and you instantly know the action will follow a video-gamey and predetermined path. they're not thrillingly invisible or feats of great filmmaking. They just kind of ...happen, but in an empty way— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) April 28, 2023

So what does this lifelong Chicagoan want to see now? For everyone to put “egos,” “preconceived notions,” “campaign slogans” and “puffed-up rhetoric” to the side. It's time for solutions, she said. “We need to do real investigative thinking into what these kids need.” (10/11)— Jake Sheridan (@JakeSheridan_) April 20, 2023
