.. a few times in the early 00s. Makes me really sad that a step like this is necessary, but I fully understand. I hope they will still be able to keep the livestream in future (I imagine @markabraham.bsky.social is on it..)

Concern over US travel visas prompts Ig Nobels to move its awards to Europe Organizers of an annual satirical award for scientific achievement are shifting for the first time from the United States to Europe due to concerns about winners and others being able to get visas.

as a lifetime and supporting member of #HRSFA (#Harvard Radcliffe #ScienceFiction Association), I was a part of their delegation to the #IgNobels for many years (basically all of the ones in the 90s and a few years beyond) and also actually paid to go .. (1/2) apnews.com/article/ig-n...

I forget whether it's the first movie or the second and don't care enough to check, but there's one bit where they're at a crime scene and the camera pans across a white guy in thick glasses and yellowface makeup examining a piece of evidence held in chopsticks.

sometimes when you have a fond memory of a #film it's best to just leave it be and not find out how utterly cringeworthy it is now. This thought brought to you by the original Naked Gun movies letterboxd.com/drawnonglass...

ELIZA's creator was so alarmed by the fact that people mistook the chatbot for a sentient being that he wrote an entire book about why this implementation of computer technology was a huge problem and it is a staggering achievement

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

I quite liked the remake. But if you can stand Chevy Chase in the first place, I'd go with Modern Problems. (I know, deeply problematic in a bunch of ways, but its so over the top dumb it's almost good)

If the stupid voice menu can't understand what you're talking about and you just want to talk to a person, say "update account information." that will usually work because it's too dumb to verify your identity directly #banking #mortgage #lpt

Paramount Skydance Poised to Acquire Warner Bros. Discovery After Netflix Bows Out of Bidding War Paramount Skydance is poised to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery now that Netflix has declined to increase its existing offer valued at $83 billion.

To other film festivals out there, especially those of you that regularly platform films from the major studios. Now seems like a great time to NOT DO THAT. If three total companies are going to own the world we all have a responsibility to work harder than ever to discover and platform new voices.
