30 minutes into Tron Ares and it’s like, dueling tech barons in a race to make AI? and I’m supposed to care about one of them? Pass

I finally watched Perfect Blue, after seeing it mentioned among top anime many times. And it was great. But the really fun thing was, I recognized it from a video I saw at an anime expo in 2000, where someone made an edit of clips set to "Cry Little Sister." It was a lot like watching a movie and hearing a familiar sample from an industrial song.

Where we are now, is exactly where many of us saw us heading on 11/9/16.
It took longer to get here than I thought. It took a second term, which never should have happened.
This line of thought does no one any good, least of all me. I guess, just, if you are someone who saw this coming, I see you.

Ice was terrorizing schools, so MPS straight up cancelled school for the rest of the week.
It’s encouraging to have the school district united with the rest of us community members against ice. Fuck those cosplaying man-infants with hair fingers on their live ammo.

To be very clear: there is no fraud epidemic in MN.
There was one nonprofit, called Feeding our Future, that committed egregious fraud during the pandemic. They were shut down in 2022 and many have gone to prison.
That’s it. There’s no rash of fraudulent daycares or preschools. There’s no more fraud than the baseline you get anywhere in the country.

Between then and now I came to understand a couple things. 1, I am generally not the target audience for musicals, which has no bearing on the objective value of musicals. 2, a film or tv adaptation of a book can be its own thing, and should not be evaluated on how closely it adheres to the source.

Yesterday I saw the first Wicked movie for the second time....it is its own thing, I am not the target audience, and also it totally misses the point of the book.
2/2

20ish years ago, I read Wicked, and loved it. It stayed true to Baum’s story, while expanding and deepening the world, and made me sympathize with Elphaba while keeping her a villain.
Then I learned about the play, and from snippets and summaries judged it harshly for missing the point.
Then my wife, whose opinions I respect and often agree with, saw the play, and enjoyed it very much.

I think I’ve heard less than a half-dozen Christmas songs, the season has been merciful

@oblomov @eishiya all valid points, but re: stories; yes creators should get credit and appropriate rewards for their work, but I was thinking more in terms of the raw value a story provides to the world, rather than value as a commodity

The value of things increase as they are shared.
A lawnmower sitting idle in your garage is worthless. If neighbors use it while you’re not, it has greater utility.
A story that stays locked down under IP ownership is fine, but it others are allowed to retell and expand and embellish, it becomes much greater.
And obviously when it comes to science, technology, and academia, shared knowledge leads to more and greater discoveries.

Through NASA, space exploration belonged to all of us. We all shared and participated in this set of peak achievements and discoveries. By withholding taxes and developing private space exploration, billionaires have stolen it from us. They’re not just hoarding wealth, they are hoarding a unique and precious experience we should all be sharing.

When 11yo doesn’t like something he says it’s “buns.” Don’t know if that’s a general thing but it should be
