  1. Went to see #TheMarvels in #ScreenX, is a form of horizontal not-IMAX. 👍🏻

    Movie has ties into many storylines from previous MCU TV/movies, in prep for the "next phase". Also spoiler of mid-credits leading into something "X-".

    #ScottPilgrim "link" because #BrieLarson and a "musical moment".

    It's also a lot about woman-power (& family), so I don't understand why it's not doing somewhat closer in range to #Barbie's numbers.

    It's is MUCH better than #QuantumMania, #Eternals, etc.

  3. I am browsing Harry & David for a “thinking of you gift”. I think I’m seeing a deliberate pattern to upsell — every item page offers a couple suggestions of similar items that are about 25 to 50% more expensive. If the suggestions were based solely on customer shopping patterns, I’d expect occasionally to see a same-priced or less-expensive item, which is the case with most other online retailers.

  4. Do “#WeKeepUsSafe”? Notes on Action Security & Some Resources

    by #IndigenousAction admin, September 30, 2023

    "'We keep us safe!' is an abolitionist assertion that the state or some paternalistic organization will not protect us from #colonial, #fascist, #WhiteSupremacist, #Queerphobic attacks, so we must organize and defend ourselves and those we are in community with.

    "We cannot leave this slogan to be an empty gesture or posture. It must be conveyed with the necessary training and organizing to address the hyperpoliticized and conflictual environments that we organize in.

    "While we cannot anticipate and prevent all fascist assaults, if we pronounce that 'we keep us safe,' we can and must do what we can to organize and be prepared. Liberal and 'radical' non-profit managers constantly decrying the 'inactions of cops' does not keep us safe, it only invokes further police violence. Additionally, calling on colonial politicians to respond to fascist violence as a 'hate crime,' is really a call to further the carceral state and its institutional violences (courts, prisons, more policing, etc).

    "On September 28th, 2023 #JacobJohns, an #Indigenous person was shot by Ryan Martinez, a colonial invader and #MAGA fascist at an action called to confront the re-establishment of a monument to the genocidal colonizer Juan de #Oñate in so-called Española, New Mexico. This shooting occurred under the same watch of an organization that hosted a previous anti-Oñate monument action in 2020 where #ScottWilliams was shot and severely injured.

    "From #HeatherHeyer, #JosephRosenbaum, and #AnthonyHuber to many more who have been injured or killed while resisting authoritarian nationalism (aka fascism), these deadly attacks are occurring within a context of historic, ongoing, and escalating colonial violence.

    "Since 2020, groups based in occupied New Mexico organizing anti-monument actions have been directly challenged for putting people at serious risk. Calls that have been made for more organized security have been denounced by inexperienced organizers in these groups.

    "These issues and considerations are not new, the #BlackPantherParty for Self Defense and #AIM initiated armed patrols and armed resistance in the face of state, white supremacist, and colonial terror. Amorphous entities such as #Antifa and #BashBack have continually mobilized street warfare in defensive and proactive ways. These groups have long recognized that we cannot merely rely on 'safety in numbers,' (though numbers do help) our enemies are more organized than that, so why aren’t we?

    "We cannot pronounce liberation without simultaneously preparing and mobilizing defense.

    "As everyone should be doing #MutualAid, everyone should be prepared for #MutualDefense. We cannot depend on any organizers or organizations to simply do this for us. If 'We keep us safe,' we better fucking mean it.

    "As Goldfinch Gun Club stated, 'Community defense has to be about #solidarity and uplift mutual aid, not just arming vulnerable peoples. By the time someone starts shooting, everyone has already lost. The best defense is #ABetterWorld. It’s possible. We have to believe that.'"

  5. I think we all knew a Melon Husk / Turnip meltdown was inevitable, but I didn't think it'd happen this soon, escalate this quickly, or blowup this spectacularly.

  6. I remember when my wife and I were conceiving and anticipating the birth of our children, knowing all the potential problems, I worried a lot! I hoped my kids would be born healthy. Having girls was a bonus, but not something I spent much time thinking about.

    I read today that Vivian says her father, Melon Husk, paid to have only boys through sex-selective IVF, and that is why he's tilting about her being transgender.

  7. Tesla stock was at about $228 at noon, March 11.

    Then POTUS47 did his Whitehouse car showroom. Tesla stock got a little bump, closing on March 12 at $248.09.

    As many predicted, that bump was short-lived. Tesla stock at noon today (March 13) has settled to about $235, with most of the bump gone.

  8. My #AmazonEcho uses a yellow ring notification to try a free #AlexaPlus trial every couple days, even though I say no every time. Decided to try saying yes, and then immediately canceling. Will they get the message that I don’t want it?

  9. In the last 1-2 months, I've seen many #NintendoSwitch physical games go out of stock & not be restocked. (Example: Pokemon Sword and Shield phys are both currently sold out at bestbuy.com)

    I'd also read an article that observed several other games that seem to be out-of-print; they surmised the reason is expectation Nintendo will release their next gen console this year.

    If you prefer physical Switch games, maybe now is the time to buy them.

  10. True story time. ~7 years ago, onsite team meeting

    New hire said when starting job, they thought "model" in job description meant we take photos, wondered where the girls were. Initially sounded like joke, but as they kept going, I realized they were serious. Next few years confirmed laziness, lack of curiosity.

    How do you see "model" in #DataAnalytics job & not research it enough to know it means "predictive model" before interview?

  11. Today, I got a flu shot in one arm and a bivalent Covid19 vaccine in the other arm. I hear doing it that way is like having a phased array antenna, so I’m hoping I finally get the 5G upgrade they keep promising. I’m going to hold my arms up and spin in circles until it works.

  12. I suspect a spambot when I get a new follow where it looks like I've had no previous interaction with them (replying, liking, or retooting, in either direction). It's more suspicious when their bio is blank and they haven't made any toots.

  13. Coming next Sunday to classicwrestlingreview.com/

    Sid wants to see if he's half the champion Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett are. Plus, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan are back. The KISS Demon is even back as well. Meanwhile, Tank Abbott tries to kill a man. And we might get an appearance by James Brown!!

    It's WCW SuperBrawl 2000. Look for my review.

  14. The #EU has reached an agreement on #eIDAS, rolling back the state of Internet security by 12 years, and by forcing browser vendors / root store operators to include government Root CA, disallowing #CertificateTransparency and making it illegal to fix (unless you can influence #ETSI, which is conveniently government friendly when it comes to surveillance).

    This is bad. Really bad. It enables surveillance.

  15. I was randomly browsing and discovered that 2024 is the last year for the RAM 1500 TRX, an extreme off-road pickup truck. This vehicle is similar to Ford's F-150 Raptor.

    For fun, I decided to find a new one near me to see how much it is.

    Base MSRP: $96,340
    MSRP as equiped: $124,410
    Advertised discounted price:
    $116,945

    Holy cow! That's an expensive status symbol.

  17. This cease fire sure has a lot of shooting...

    Did someone in Iran round the corner, unexpectedly see UAE just 45+ miles away, and in their surprise and panic accidentally launch a bunch of missiles and drones. Whoopsie Daisy. Sorry about that, chum.
