V for Vendetta

I finally understand Markov Chains so now I get to go to bed

We have these in Germany. It's one of the few perks of living here.

The deterrent effect is really strong. Most people just don't do that shit.

I thought that was Pitch Black

A useful question I like to ask about a movie is “Did it achieve what it set out to do?” (As opposed to “do I like what it did?”)

Sometimes what it set out to do is hard to figure out, but I know from interviews that Spielberg wanted this to be an anti-war movie, and at that it utterly fails.

This movie flattens out really quickly after the initial spectacle, and then it’s about an hour too long.

It also rings really hollow today. There’s not much in it other than “Did you know that war is some fucked up shit? But also some of it is like cool as hell!”

I will never tire of telling random women who go to Marbella for FFS about the turtles

I bet some biting would be good for my sore thighs

Oh dear, welcome to that particular ride

Well done!

Uhh … fuck.

Turtles hanging out on rocks in a pond

There’s a park in Marbella with a pond that has cute turtles. Great destination for a slow walk while recovering.

Good luck and a quick recovery! Say hello to the turtles if you get the chance

Three panel comic. Panel 1: three witches stand around a cauldron while one of them stirs. Panel 2: one of the witches adds a scoop of pre workout into the pot. Panel 3: the three witches are getting absolutely shredded in the gym.

What’s next, always leaving my house shoes in the same place when I’m bot wearing them so I easily find them again?

I’ve been cycling all across town for four days now.

Tomorrow will be a rest day for my legs. It’s very much needed

Annihilation. It’s already great but I feel being live action holds it back somewhat.

Wait, Vin Diesel was in this?

And he basically plays Dom Toretto here too

Oh fuck you, John Williams. I see what you’re doing there and I’m annoyed at how well it’s working.

It’s been a really long time since I last saw this one

Nobody here to kiss. So movie will have to do

Falafel

More math tonight or watch a movie?

Tell me about your identity matrix …

I’m doing my thesis specifically in statistics

Meet me as I brush up on my linear algebra, eigenvectors, and state machines for my ... uh ... psychology degree

compiling lots of markdown files into printable PDFs without having to change the script every time I add a new one. A Makefile just picks up all .md files in a directory and makes PDFs out of them using pandoc

it's perfect

"queer rave" in Berlin ... and you already know it's going to be 90% shirtless cis dudes and groups of straight cis women who are obviously struggling to suppress their homophobia.
