That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

Of course it is. God dammit.

That would all be paid DLC if made today.

I did watch the debate and my immediate take away was that it was a cordial debate, which is sad that being cordial is now abnormal enough for that to be the first thing that stood out.

But with that being said, after thinking about it longer, I realized that the reason it was so cordial is because the questions asked were sane-washing almost all of Trump’s positions. I don’t see how the number one question would ever be anything other than:

"Senator Vance, your running mate has been convicted, by a jury of his peers, of 34 felonies. He is current facing indictments for stealing and concealing sensitive classified documents containing information vital to our national defense. He has also been indicted for conspiracy to defraud the United States, along with three additional charges, for his efforts to overthrow our democracy when he lost the 2020 election. He has also been charged with eight felonies in Georgia, including two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree; again, for his attempts at subverting our democracy to install himself as the unelected ruler of our country. He has publicity stated that he wants to be a dictator and throw his political opponents, as well as journalists and others who criticize him, in jail. The only reason your candidate is on the ballot this November is because the Supreme Court ruled that states do not have the ability to keep insurrectionists off the ballot - and they have also declared that various other crimes your candidate have committed cannot be prosecuted due to an alarming declaration that presidents are mostly above the law.

The question, Senator Vance, is why is your candidate qualified for anything other than wearing an orange jumpsuit in prison?"

One day if we are brave, we will get rid of the U in a lot of British words like color and armor, but by God we will keep the British U in the word glamour!

Hose!!!

I went back to Voyager, which is a shame because I really like Sync and pay for the premium version. But yeah, it’s completely unusable right now.

Hard to say. That study you linked mentions reductions in speed and crashes in the vicinity of the camera, which to me indicates that people are only slowing down because they know a camera is there. I suppose someone would have to do a study to see if speed cameras reduce speeds and crashes in areas where there aren’t currently cameras, but have been in the past. Meaning that people are slowing down in areas where they think there might be cameras.

Don’t you put that bad juju on Jimmy Carter

I think the sentiment against them stems from the fact that there are ways to reduce speeds without feeling like they’re being used as a revenue stream.

Personally I like when there are warning signs saying “Speed camera in use ahead” since it has the effect of slowing down traffic and not feeling like a “gotcha” moment.

Moo Deng was pretty good on SNL Weekend update this weekend. https://youtu.be/vfIbbP3vuwA

I wonder if they censor mentions of Lemmy or if all the people that left for Lemmy are gone and no one noticed. Like, why are people still there and putting up with more of Spez’s bullshit? Do they not know they can just leave?

That is Trump’s tactic, which worked wonders when debating against Biden. I was glad when Harris shut that shit down by basically saying “I told you he was going to spout a bunch of bullshit, anyway my point is…”

Dude was just destroying his lunch and Peter Jackson whispered, “shhh… get the camera.”

I’ve always been curious to know what direction that actor was given for that scene. “Don’t just eat that tomato. Eat it in such a nasty, graphic way that it’ll make people uncomfortable for decades to come.”

“If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope he likes enchiladas, because that’s what he’s getting.”

Orson Scott Card actually weighed in on a simple way to determine if something is fantasy or sci-fi since he writes both:

The difference between science fiction and fantasy…is simply this, science fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.

Colorado and California have laws that say you have to list salaries on job postings. As a result, many job posting say “not eligible for residents of Colorado or California” on them, even when the posting is specifically looking for people from those states l.

I’m wondering if this new law has that loophole where companies can just say “hey, we told people from California that our service wasn’t for them. It’s not our fault that they still signed up for it.”
