Matt Damon says he and Ben Affleck voted for The Matrix for Best Picture in 1999 while people scoffed at them

“When that movie came out in 1999, people were like, ‘Oh, it’s a revolutionary action movie,’ and talking about the new camera technique. We both voted for it for Best Picture at the Oscars”

“I remember people kind of scoffing, like, ‘The Matrix?’”

“It foresaw a whole notion of the future and of existence. It has become more relevant with each passing year. That movie gets better. It’s one of the most seminal films ever made, without a doubt”

The metaphysics of soccer is a very real thing.

People will think I'm crazy for this take, but I'm a big believer in the psychological impact of narratives on teams. Yes, Belgium looked so much better tonight and we looked lost. But this team had a boatload of good vibes behind them, and in the last 48 hours that vanished, and replacing it was a story of implicit political corruption that turned them into the bad guys, or at least the beneficiary of the corruption. You can't tell me that doesn't put pressure on the team, change the vibe, and take a psychological toll that impacted what happened on the field. American fans, serious and casual, should be pissed at this interference. We overturned a red card and our reward was losing what made this team so much fun until now.

Depends on what you mean by "code". Today's code is actually prose. And yes you need to be reading every single word

Using machines to cut grass is unnatural and wasteful. Either let the animals trim the grass, or make it flowers.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The US mows roughly 12 million acres of roadside every year. That's larger than the state of Maryland, maintained as mowed grass that feeds almost nothing, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

North Carolina figured out a better use for it in 1985. What started as 12 experimental acres of native wildflowers planted along roadsides has grown to 1,500 managed acres across the state, saving an estimated $200,000 a year in mowing costs while providing habitat for pollinators, birds, and the beneficial insects that control crop pests on nearby farms.

A 2024 BioScience review found something surprising to many: a mown safety strip immediately adjacent to the pavement, with native wildflowers planted in the wider verge beyond it, actually reduces insect mortality by keeping pollinators on one side of the road rather than crossing it.

12 million acres is an enormous amount of potential habitat that currently does almost nothing. The fix isn't complicated. It's mostly just stopping the mower in the right places.

Claude and Codex need more different UIs- when they're both open and jamming between them they're just so similar it's easy to confuse them.

On America’s 250th, remember that you are descended from an insanely ambitious person who left behind comfort, friends, and family to seek out a better life in a new world.

Do something equally insane and ambitious with your life to honor them.
