Xanadu proves you CAN make a musical that is utterly boring and unremarkable.

I love when people use this quote bereft of all context, to imply he was saying: 'let's put a gun to the people's heads!' FYI: he was warning against the power of militaries and the need for civilian control to systemically supercede it.

Just watched "Tango and Cash" and... I can't think of a single redeeming thing to say about it. Every single aspect was dreadful. Even Kurt Russel stank in this, and I like him! The writing was abysmal, and the soundtrack terrible.

My friend in China added:

The couple who climbed the Empire State Building are being called "protestors" for putting up a banner calling for generic peace and love. This is tacit acknowledgement that the US stands firmly against peace and love.

This is so cool. China's built giant hydroelectric batteries for green energy. It pumps water up there when wind/solar is in abundance, to be poured through and generate electricity in downtimes.

What exactly is traditional about a Catholic rejecting the divine authority of the Pope?

Ocarina of Time was the story of a boy forced to sacrifice his youth and grow up far too soon for the sake of helping others. And for that reason: yes I was one of those who teared up at the teaser. This game hit me at the perfect time in my life. A masterpiece that claimed a spot in my heart.

Watching Orson Welles' "The Trial" and it's so damn good. A dreamlike allegory of the existence of a closeted gay man.

In fact the US has kept Afghanistan's money, literally starving children there that it was needed to feed. Vietnam was barred from trading on the world market until it paid the US back -- with interest -- for the cost of massacring millions of Vietnamese. (Which they only recently did.) Good read!

If you treat human existence like a game without morals or real human lives, the way we're governed makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, Americans are ignorant and shocked because you make an effort to misinform them.

Great stuff.

Today's the birthday of the best, most kindest and special person I've ever met: my endlessly caring wife and best-friend, @jmkeep.bsky.social I could not have been more lucky in love. No more perfect a partner could ever be waiting for me out there. Every day shared with you is a joy and honour.

I love Chinese social media.

The Nightmare on Elm Street remake was abysmal. Especially egregious considering it was such a needless remake to begin with, the original holds up fabulously. The new Freddy missed the mark entirely with his attempts to be creepy.

Cool, so that's done then

Fox News anchor in Beijing admits to parking illegally, and then uses the $40 USD ticket as evidence of China's authoritarianism.

This snippet of Star Trek Next Generation got a lot of traction for a while because of people's hope for Irish reunification. But what was really standout was Data putting the comfortably detached Picard in his place: Violence is sometimes the only tool the oppressors leave the oppressed.

Watching 'Dracula', 1931, starring Bela Lugosi. This man was MY Dracula growing up! I'd stay up late to watch him on a tiny old TV when not being monitored. Health flare up going on, so needed some comfort horror to watch.

I hate this packaging's font more than I can express.

The world is glass today. Cold, slippery glass.

Fired up the #TomodachiLife demo, and made myself in the game. Frankly? I think I nailed it.

This is the dumbest shit ever. Because firstly: there has never been any indication he's given up on it at all. He's calling our Prime Minister "Governor" still. The Fascist States of America is just busy invading other places. That's it.

If this is you: try the Scholomance series by Naomi Novik. Fabulously well written series in the vein of Harry Potter, where the magic makes its own sense, characters are great, and there's a real moral code behind it. It has layers to dive into! And the author actually gives back to the community

Oh it's a real mystery, because you can trust the word of the US government after all

It's snowing, the winds are high and the roads are not plowed. But we didn't let that stop us from a big long walk! Laszlo loved it, of course.

"We're the good guys."

This sucks for them so hard. It must blow to... *reads article* have a large home in a beautiful, clean, scenic community and work little or not at all.

WTF CTV? Platforming and blasting the false message of these fascist traitors is twisted. It's BS, and they're working to make this disaster a reality.
