below the line crew earning $300/day (or acting as unpaid volunteers) on a production while sharing in none of the $200m profit of a runaway b.o. success*is* actual exploitation, even if it's normalized in the industry.

@mcmansionhell Once the mucus is in the chest it’s hard for me to get rid of. I try to mitigate sinus congestion that causes my post-Nadal drip with twice daily saline nasal rinses (NeilMed squirt bottle), Zyrtec, and a lot of hydration
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas
Fred makes the case why we should look to "contemporize" the framework through which we view "Twin Peaks", beyond focusing on Lynch's retrogressive influences and brings that into harmony with why the show feels so achingly personal to its audience. A beautiful, important read.
friendly reminder that everything on the island was REAL. they didn't die in the crash. they lived and died at different times (some on the island, some years later). the "flash-sideways" church was an afterlife purgatory they built to find each other, let go and move on together
Tomodachi Life is my first 4/4 review for 2026. It is the funniest, most delightful cozy game I’ve ever played. It’s the evolution of making your Macintosh’s text-to-speech program say “butt” in 1994. Like a loud fart, always funny no matter what age.

It’s because nobody reads anymore. I’ve seen multiple posts from filmtwt people being like “I wonder which great auteurs also read novels” and it’s all of them. Great writers read and read and read and never stop reading
why is everyone so mad that this scene looks grey and foggy when this is literally the scene where athena makes everything grey and foggy, on purpose, for plot reasons,
