@CarsRuinedCity @VaushV Alexandria has been ruled by some truly awful people throughout history but at least it used to be a beautiful city. Everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra is rolling in their graves.

@TwoWayKlay @nrlphysio The best part about this suggestion is not only is it great but I can’t tell if you’re joking about them being related or not

@JoelRainboww @jasmynconnell I’ll be at work 😔

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 43 years ago today. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect.

#bcm325 the verse hopping technology demonstrates McLuhan’s concept of the extension of man. The verse hopping technology is less a tool for becoming something new and more an expression of discovering new parts of ourselves

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 should we consider the fractalisation of Joy and Evelyn to be an exploration of the singularity?

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 this entire film could have been avoided if alpha-Evelyn had just considered second-order cybernetics when pushing Joy to learn verse-hopping

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 I’m not sure if the reference was intentional but I definitely got Kung Fu Panda vibes

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

@drew_jane_ theres a space between your # and the bcm325

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 I really wish this film would go further into the implications of decision making and decision processes and how it impacts the course of the narrative. Its certainly here, but we get such brief glimpses at it

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 This is the one week I haven't had an Anthropocene tweet and I'm absolutely devastated that I missed this

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 this film is the definition of weirdly weird and loves itself for it

@H__Clynes #bcm325 my discord server list is a mess of Rugby League, Gamer hangouts and Thomas the Tank Engine

'Why do you always download these apps on my phone?' is presentational media in a sense that she enters a whole new world through her mobile device #bcm325

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

@CL_Moore por qué no todos

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 the complete chaos of the laundromat can be seen as a failed attempt by Evelyn to try and do everything herself and her lack of trust in those around her, demonstrating a total lack of operations research

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

@CL_Moore oh I have anothger tweet ready to go about that but it contains spoilers

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 this film feels like the ultimate homage to alternative history as a fantasy

[Benjamin Waters @benjwaters01]

#bcm325 this fascinating video discusses the limitations of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once in its explorations of the multiverse through its medium. A great discussion of capitalist realism and the influence of corporations over legacy media https://t.co/cKpQQgyIxG
