  1. No Context In The Mood For Love Screenshot

    Fuck yeah Maggie Cheung dresses up like that just to go out for noodles! Maggie Cheung is a legend.

    It says something about this move that while I was watching I absolutely knew this article would exist—the complete list of all the dresses she wears.

  2. #Today I heard any ad promising that if I called in the next fifteen minutes, I could get $product_name installed in my home by Christmas.

    Tempting, but the ad was inserted into a podcast. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

  6. I recently rewatched “Your Name.” and as usual, felt like I'd been hugged and run over by a truck at the same time. I like all Makoto Shinkai’s movies but this one is really something unique.

    The Big Event (no spoilers) occurs on October 4th. I think we should watch it every year on that date, who's with me?

  7. Sam Bankman-Fried is famously resistant to the idea that Shakespeare is the greatest writer because of “Bayesian priors” — there are thousands of other candidates over hundreds of years …

    … but the absolute best people in the world to run a billion-dollar company with turned out to be a bunch of his schoolmates. What are the odds?!

  13. #Today in "is it just me?" … I'm from a UK/ Commonwealth background and every time you tell me your data follows a "hockey stick" shape this is what I see. WOW that's some alarming data!

    Your data has an ICE hockey shape.

  14. The #Musk #Isaacson thing is perhaps best summed up by this from mstdn.social/@fka_tabs

    We are three levels deep at this point. Person A (Shawn McCreesh) is writing about person B (Isaacson) who is talking to a third person about Musk. All three of these people, two of them respected writers (until recently) are confused about simple facts …

  15. I was thinking about the Vimes thing (how the poor have to spend in the short term while the rich can invest in longer lasting products) and how it relates to Apple.

    If you're at Asus or whatever and someone proposes making all their laptops out of aluminium, they get laughed out of the room. If you're at Apple Tim Cook just hands you $100,000,000 and says "good idea, call the big aluminium guys, tell them it has to be green, oh and invent a whole new kind of factory too".

    I give the BBC's adaptation of Kate Atkinson's "Life After Life", one of my favourite books, a grudging B minus, it was fine, I guess, though I wanted to shout "show, don't tell" a lot.

    Read the book, it's excellent, much deeper, richer and stranger. And the audiobook is literally the best I've ever listened to.
    Fenella Woolgar (Call The Midwife) is amazing, not just a reader but a performer.

  23. I realise this is slightly weird but during Barbie I was thinking “America Ferrara has the most beautiful eyebrows”.

    Obviously her eyebrows are shaped professionally but it's not just that, it's the perfect curves they form when she frowns or squints.

    It's not a thing I normally notice, but there's probably a subreddit full of fetishists for this isn't there?

  24. I am all caught up in the drama of local bird society in my street.

    So much so that the other day I was saying to myself:

    "Oh damn, that crow is back stealing food from the magpies? The three mynahs who live in the big tree are going to chase him off though, oh yeah here they come!"

    and that was all based on HEARING ALONE. Just sitting in my office with an ear out for chirps and squawks and fluttering.

  25. #Today I ran in the #city2surf which is a huge 14k run in #sydney — 80,000 runners. All I will say about my performance is that I kept running the whole time and never slowed down to a walk.

  26. My friend: Hey you should watch 'No Hard Feelings', it has a Jennifer Lawrence nude fight scene!

    Me: Not sure I feel comfortable with that kind of recommendation—wait a nude FIGHT scene?

    And it turns out it does. Jennifer Lawrence, fully nude, kicking the crap out of three people. I'm sure that's somebody's kink but not mine.

    This is a very weird movie. It doesn't seem to know what kind of movie it is.

  27. #today I watched the haunting “Reality” from HBO, probably the only movie you will ever see based entirely on an FBI interrogation tape (and the stage play “Is This A Room”).

    It’s Pinteresque in its restraint, with just a few heightened moments.

    I’m rather pleased for Sydney Sweeney too, she could just coast forever but she took a role where she has almost nothing to work with — ‘woman stands against wall and talks nervously to man’ —and really made it memorable.
