Feds charge NYC mayor with selling his influence to foreign nationals. He says he won't resign
  • I remember when he bulldoze a bunch of people‘s vehicles… and part of me was like “Cool, riding an ATV in Central Park for fun probably should result in your vehicle getting crushed…” and the little voice in the back of my head says this is a bit over the top, even for a publicity stunt. 

    Need to listen to that little voice more often 😅

  • What is a small gadget under $10-20 that you absolutely LOVE?
  • Obviously you’ve never been… everything here causes cancer. We’re amending the law next year so we can just label everything that isn’t carcinogenic because it will substantially reduce the number of Prop 65 labels that end up in landfills ;-)

  • What is a small gadget under $10-20 that you absolutely LOVE?
  • Try picking your front door… could be very instructive ;-)

  • Time to Skate
  • To soon!

  • Titan crew said 'all good here' before submersible imploded
  • Yeah, it was definitely intended as humor an attempt at levity.

  • Netanyahu approved pager explosions in Lebanon — Israeli media
  • Pagers, often used by civilians and healthcare workers for communication, are small, battery-powered wireless devices that receive text messages, audio, and visual signals.

    Boy do I feel old now…

    According to Walla, the operation "neutralised a significant part of Hezbollah's military command and control system."

    This was the next sentence. My personal pity-party was subsequently cancelled.

    A further linked article speculates that the pagers were rigged with explosives. As their main power source is an alkaline AAA battery. No crazy Mr. Robot hack, just regular depravity.

  • Titan crew said 'all good here' before submersible imploded
  • Followed shortly by ‘oh shit’ and ‘we dropped two weights’ then ‘guys, it’s getting kind of wet in here…’

    Just kidding, mostly.

    Serious question: how does a submarine know how much it weighs?

  • New security protocols
  • Dopemobile?

  • Race is on to produce a super-coral to survive world’s warming seas
  • We were doing fine until the SuperCoral™ evolved the ability to breath air back in 2047… must’ve been some of that salamander DNA that we used. 

  • Mr.Roger Rogers
  • There was always that rumor he was a military sniper before becoming a kids TV show host.

  • [OC] (Cropped from a bigger picture) Guess the movie
  • Clearly Predator porn.

  • Well. I’m off to purge that image from my brain:-)

  • It’s definitely not lupus 😝

  • I call it: Man With Two Right Arms Draws House Md. During Colonoscopy

  • Paramount sets Airplane! & Top Secret! for 4K, plus Orca, Robot Dreams, Kinds of Kindness, Fear the Walking Dead & Young Sheldon: Complete Series on Blu-ray & more!
  • Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I went looking for… well there was another site that listed them but it seems to be shut down now, so thanks for posting that.

    I also ran across and article that mentioned IMDB having a page for every movie that had details on its original shooting format e.g. 2K digital/35mm/sony handycam (looking at you Blare Witch Project)… but I think that’s gone subscription only? Not sure, maybe just gone.

  • Hollywood and Netflix Report Piracy Threats to the EU, Call for 'Intermediary' Action
  • I just sent it to the two friends that are always whining for me to grab them a CAM :-)

  • Fine work…

    Fine work you’re doing here… really hope I can hand a lend someday.

    Siri getting dumber lately?

    Anyone notice siri no longer recognizes common foreign idoms anymore? Either in TTS or Ask Siri… The only concrete example I have is recognizing “Croque Monsieur” since my love for hot ham sandwiches has spanned the ages… but I feel like there’s something more nefarious at work here.

    It feels like used to be able to ask for a info about random foreign words and it would at least trigger a web search for something phonetically similar, which would often get me the translation I was after. But lately* the TTS engine is militantly transforming everything into English. Obviously this is more subtle and open to other interpretations, but for example I just asked her what “hikikomori” were which got interpreted as “Hickam Morty,” with top hits for the show Rick and Morty.

    Not sure if I just haven’t noticed the standard disclaimer before or if it’s a new “feature” 😬

    Rebel Moon is an Epic B-Movie

    Okay, it probably doesn’t really qualify because it’s; new, high-budget, directed by Zac Snyder, etc. But hear me out. This hot mess starts with space-nazis vs space-vikings, takes a turn through Star Wars, Oceans Eleven, space-Rome, and a few tropes that defy easy space-hyphenation.

    To say the plot makes almost no sense would be generous. I’m loathed to spoil the greater arc here, but the plot does hinge on a village on the edge of space being forced to harvest grain in order to feed a passing army… there’s probably a Kurosawa reference here somewhere, but good movies just aren’t my jamb so I wouldn’t know ;-)

    As I stare at the frozen credits at the end of part two and contemplate my life I have to note that there must actually have been footage cut from this movie (you’ll understand if you watch it) because they credit a Snake Wrangler!

    So, if you have 4-5 hours of free time this weekend, a Netflix account you haven’t already cancelled, and are allergic to nice weather, I humbly submit, for your consideration: Rebel Moon parts I & II.

    ………. (All the periods I probably should have used)
