An American said "yeah, no" to me and I did not know if that was a yes.
It is a no.
"No, yeah" is a yes.
"Yeah, no, for sure" is a yes.
"No, yeah, no" is a no.
I wrote these down and showed them to him.
He read the list. He said nothing for a while.
Then he said, "That's all correct."
Then he said, "How is that all correct?"
I asked him to explain the rule.
He tried. He tried for four minutes. He kept starting sentences and abandoning them.
Then his wife walked in and he read her the list and she said, "Yeah, no, that's right."
He pointed at her.
He said, "She just did it."
She said, "Did what?"
I have shown this list to nineteen Americans.
All nineteen agree it is correct.
Zero can explain it.
Three have said "that's kind of scary."
One went quiet and then said, "How much of what I say is like this."
All of it.
Almost all of it.
Hats off to doctoral student and podcaster Zhong Shu in Beijing, China, who did this fascinating and smart interview with Christopher Nolan about THE ODYSSEY yesterday, originally posted to Bilibili.
A great listen/watch.
Metal Scar Radio #02 | The Magic Radio
Wrong frequency, right texture. Metal Scar Radio, finally, we meet again.
Guess y'all found your way here after all. Good, saves us the trouble of running ads.
Tonight's lineup is simple, but we've got an unfamiliar guest. Hopefully he'll be able to fulfill his duty as a music critic.

@Echo_SEMO@WeNeed2BanPuff@jin_withanx Happens with each smash title. Leo is a legacy player who will always be top level regardless of the title. Wait til next smash if it ever comes and we’ll see how they both perform
Zach Cregger says he refuses to "cannibalize" the Resident Evil games or try to improve on Leon in his new movie
"What I'm not doing in this is I'm not gonna cannibalize the characters and the stories that the games already do so well."
"Because I'm not gonna be able to improve on Leon. I feel like Leon exists in the games."
"And anyone I cast, and any haircut I give him, or any line of dialogue I make him say is just not gonna be Leon, because Leon exists."
"I'd rather tell an original story that lives in the world of the games, that obeys the rules of the games largely, but feels more like the experience you get when you're playing the games."
"That is leaning into the survival horror aspect of it, not survival action. I really love where they build this incredible atmosphere and this dread and tension as you progress through these set pieces."
Chris Hemsworth took a blood test as a stunt for a TV show. The results said he is 8 to 10 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's. Every workout he has posted since is a brain protection protocol disguised as a fitness video.
The test was for Limitless in 2022. The plan was to reveal his results on camera. Peter Attia, the longevity doctor running the bloodwork, saw two copies of the APOE4 gene, called the director, and refused to say it on film.
Two copies is rare, about 1 in 50 people. One copy is common: roughly 1 in 4 carry it, and most never find out because almost nobody tests.
So he rebuilt the routine. Less heavy lifting, more endurance and cardio, because cardiovascular fitness is one of the strongest levers an APOE4 carrier can pull against cognitive decline. He started learning an instrument with Ed Sheeran because new skill acquisition builds cognitive reserve. He added deliberate solitude because chronic stress accelerates the exact pathology he is racing.
His grandfather had Alzheimer's. He watched it happen. Then a camera crew handed him the genetic receipt.
The man with the most photographed body on earth is training for the one organ nobody can see.
Ewan McGregor revealed that Obi-Wan’s iconic 'Duel of the Fates' with Darth Maul (Ray Park) in The Phantom Menace was so blistering fast that director George Lucas used 'over-cranking' to slow down their martial arts precision for the audience. ⚔️

Funny thing about this is that, Messi was still Mbappe's team mate when this happened. He is their captain, yet he stood there, watched his team mate get disrespected like that. I'm glad the entire world knows he is a rat
First time I'm even hearing about this but it's nice to see a movie decide to just bypass the "parents don't believe their kid about the monster until it's too late" plot entirely and skip right to the dad screaming what the fuck and going through a window

Un grupo de aficionados argentinos comenzó a insultar y hostigar a un señor por llevar el jersey de México.
Él simplemente se cagó de risa, les mostró una tarjeta roja, se puso a bailar y, para rematar, se quitó la playera mexicana para revelar que debajo llevaba la de España.
Los argentinos estaban fúricos. 🤣🤣
