POINT BREAK was released 34 years ago today. A hugely popular action film, and one of the most acclaimed of director Kathryn Bigelow, the behind the scenes story is like a death-defying skydive… 1/46

Bigelow and Cameron made big script changes. One included the masks the Ex-Presidents wear. W. Peter Iliff had them wearing masks of older Presidents like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. It was changed to the more contemporary Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. 21/46

As the university system collapses and millions succumb to tech-induced brain rot, the concept of the autodidact—a self-educated person who loves learning for its own sake—will become more important than ever. Read widely. Form study groups. Let the library be your college.

I'm old enough to remember when the international scientific community discovered a threat to human health, realized man was responsible, world leaders listened to their recommendations, negotiated the Montreal Protocols, and actually fixed the fucking problem. You stupid prick.

Me. I do. I want to pay taxes that ensure every person here has food, healthcare, UBI, roads, tuition free higher education, homes, clean air and clean water.

Sometimes I can't believe we built this. Like, humans had the chance to live with the Earth, grow food, eat fruits, sit by the beach, take care of each other. And instead we invented rent, debt, jobs that drain us, and systems that reward destruction. It never had to be this way.

DIE HARD was released 37 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great action movies and the film that catapulted the career of Bruce Willis, the making of story is bigger than the Nakatomi… 1/43
