I have watched a surprisingly small number of movies over the past few years, mainly because I have been so busy and also because not that many new movies have appealed to me.

On a set of recent flights I watched a bunch of movies in a row:

1) Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It’s the prequel to the series and stars the character who later becomes a main villain in the series, so that is neat. Not bad actually. I found it pretty engaging even though the original Hunger Games series lost my interest somewhere around the second movie.

2) The Creator. Sci Fi military/drama/action movie about AI. It had a decent plot structure and theme, but overall was pretty “meh” and had some distracting plot holes.

3) Ferrari. A biopic about Enzo Ferrari during some of the harder years of his life. Great acting from Driver and Cruz. Somewhat underwhelming overall story, but solid film imo.

4) Wish. The first critically-panned Disney animated film in a long time. I was curious to see what was so bad about it. Imo the problem was not that it was truly bad per se but that it was aggressively mediocre. Songs felt kind of forced or out of place. The plot structure itself was pretty creative. There was hype from some conservatives around this movie being “woke” but I didn’t see that as being the case. It’s ironically about a bunch of people fighting for personal liberty and a smaller role for government, lol.

There are early signs of de-escalation.

Iran announced that the attack is in response to Israel’s strike on Iran’s consulate in Syria and that they consider the matter concluded unless Israel retaliates.

But I have no idea if they will or not, so we will see.

Yeah. I’m thinking we’re going to win.

I have a bone to grind with you, Nostr. I’ve been slaving away trying to build a completely new ecosystem for a media hosting, and we’ve been charging bare minimum to keep the service afloat while providing a human-to-human/dog support, and yet people complain how “outrageous” the pricing is. If the price cannot afford even a cup of coffee after costs, it is not outrageous in my book. Creators love to complain how they get nothing for their work, while many devs are literally giving away their time, knowledge and investment into the craft of tech. Also, your fucking bullshit about 1 sat = 1 sat, while closely monitoring fiat rates, is getting old and tiresome. At least be honest with yourself, and stop placating bullshit. I am not your slave, I am not your daddy, if you need a good service that is free from ads and other bullshit, then someone has to pay. If you do not want to pay, do it yourself or go to YouTube or TikTok or Instagram, and stop pretending like you give a fuck.

Now go and fuck yourselves, and make sure to enjoy it! 🐶🐾🫡😤

it’s amazing how handling a crying baby just zaps the energy out of you, regardless of how many hours you slept 😵‍💫

Started The Mandibles today.

I’ll keep you posted.

yep

Everytime I receive a 256 or 512 or 1024 sat zap, I know that it's from an ecash connoisseur.

WHAT IS THE MOST OFFENSIVE ENGLISH WORD? WHY?

Alright, after watching 5+ hours of Dune part one and two, I’m going to need someone to explain to me why this is a good movie.

Whatever other people are seeing, I am not seeing it.
