The USSR failed because it did not master hexagonal technologies.

Christ, you say this as a joke, but Ukraine has been ruthlessly exploited for sex workers since the 90s.

Pentagon: "What happened to the last $100B we sent you?"

Zelensky, trying to keep giant bags full of quarters from spilling out of his oversized coat: "Oops! All gone!"

We're so hard-up for migrants that we tried importing climate refugees from the other side of the planet, arming them, and sending them out to butcher Palestinians on our behalf. Didn't work. Those migrant mercenaries are dead now. But I hope this clears up which one of us truly supports native peoples and which one just wants to do genocide. You don't see Gaza bringing in First Nations People to do their bag carrying.

TrashFuture has hit on a few new attempts at Killer App firms, but it's all Mindfulness this and AI that.

I think the last app I downloaded was an AI art app, which I used maybe twice.

Name one thing that John Theodore Kaczynski ever did that was violent. One fucking thing.

You can't. Because you're a dishonest liberal hack.

I hope one day you'll become mature enough to apologize to us, to yourself, and to Ted Kaczynski.

He argued that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s revival of the “common prosperity” concept in 2021 has amounted to “a return to Maoism.” “For that reason,” he said, “businesses are getting scared, and they are looking at very much returning to North America for manufacturing and other investments.”

Running away from the country with an enormous and growing middle class so you can start from scratch on the border of a country that's falling apart?

Bold move Cotton. Let's see if it pans out.

I felt like a fool falling for the “gotta see it in 70mm imax” bs.

In so far as they were going for this very immersive experience, I don't think it was BS on its face. Yes, sitting in that chair I practically vibrated with that opening scene. When they were launching the Trinity tests and he was hallucinating Hiroshima and they were doing the weird "Lets have Cillian Murphy nut in the middle of a board room" scene, it was much more pervasive an experience than if I was watching it on a 7" airplane screen with earbuds.

But the content of the movie itself was dogshit. They just kinda slapped me around with the aesthetics when there was nothing underneath.

I actually had the misfortune of doing the 5D movie experience to watch the Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie and I had the opposite experience. Amazing film, great acting, excellent screenplay, totally underrated action/comedy film. But the movie theater was ruining the experience because I felt like it was constantly trying to give me a concussion. Would have loved to see that in 70mm IMAX, on the condition that the seats stayed still and a nozzle wasn't randomly spraying shit at me during action sequences.

Barbie was genuinely a good time and then people i was with and i talked for hours after it ended. And the atmosphere at the cinema that entire weekend was magical. Everyone wearing pink, saying “hi Barbie”…that’s real movie magic.

They walked the tightrope between Oscar Bait historical setpiece and genuinely compelling dramady. Lots of good musical numbers, everyone left in a good mood, shameless excuse to cosplay. Literally everything a good movie should be.

I'm not even mad if the lesson the studios take from this is to do a dozen 80s-era action figure throw back films, so long as they get folks as talented as Gerwig, Robbie, and Gosling in it.

I mean, this is pure right-wing welfarism. But also, imagine volunteering to work with this

You think you're bringing in a big hitter, but you're just putting yourself within stinging distance of the scorpion.

There was a rumor that he was having an affair with Laurie David (Larry David's Ex-wife) in 2010. He and Tipper divorced two years later.

And before you come at me, I saw Oppie on proper film. Don’t tell me I didn’t get it or didn’t have a good experience or whatever. I liked it.

I am coming at you for liking it.

The movie was one hour of magical realism physics and wishy-washy centrist political bullshit, one hour of "Y'all know about how my boy Julie Bob O. got mad pussy?", and one hour of the worst West Wing episode you've ever seen. They could have cut that turd in half and it would have still been too long.

The acting was mid. The history was fictional. The cinematography was amateurish. The sound design just made my ears bleed.

Not only was Barbie better, but Barbie was actually a good fucking movie. Had I known what I was getting in for I'd have just gone back and watched the highlight reels from "A Beautiful Mind" and taken a refund on the balance of my time.

Mr President it is not your plane. It is the American People's plane. You have no right to tell Gary Oldman to get off it. He is a taxpaying citizen, too.
