It's kind of fascinating how people are building working computers within Minecraft. I wonder how low the scale resolution can go go in building universes, and where we fit in that scale?

The Little Mermaid Live on Disney+ is a nice tribute done well. It's a 30th anniversary thing, they play the movie and transition the songs to live musical theatre. At the end everyone takes their bows with a musical reprise, with a nice meta-premise that you're at the wedding.

If you eliminate the impossible, everything else is easy. Except of course it's fucking not.

I kind of liked the old characterisation of Thing from the Addams Family where they reached out from boxes and stuff around the sets. I like the disembodied hand, but the old cheap way of doing it meant there was an unseen creature. How many arms does it have? How long are they?

Can you get deep fried and/or chocolate covered guns in America? A friend made a joke about Kinder eggs, and I just don't know how far beyond parody society has gotten over there.

I reckon it's going to be Boris again. He's the most tone-deaf, most blind and stupid possible choice, and I'd put money on him for those exact reasons.

I'm 4 episodes in to Exception on Netflix, and after some initial misgivings about the art style it's some damn good sci-fi. It's about human replicants with implanted memories, got some good moral ambiguity and mindfuckery, and the art's grown on me

All of Brendan Fraser's friends are BFFs

Elon Musk is again claiming that he’s all about free speech. So let’s look at the record. Here’s thread with just a few of the countless examples showing he couldn't care about it less (🧵)

You know how you can be really good at something, but then as soon as someone is watching you do it you become shit at it? Is that the same principle that affects quantum mechanics?

If I went back and told my teenage self that Girls Dig Star Trek, I wouldn't have believed it, but it's totally true. There's a stereotype Trekkie that exists and isn't attractive, but an appreciation of the shows really does cross a lot of boundaries.

If all the labor unions in America joined up to become a Union of Unions with a powerful lobbying body, you could have a third party independent of the two-party system. Get Communism and Capitalism running at the same time on the same hardware. It could work!

Hey have they tried putting a mirror in the Large Hadron Collider yet, or is that whole thing just a bunch of mirrors already?

Really enjoying Star Wars: Andor. The rebel codename Axis is even cooler if you know who Fulcrum is :)

If you've got, say, a cursed skull that kills its owner, and you give it to a museum, who does the curse go to? I reckon museums distribute curses to the general public where they're diluted into regular bad luck and the occasional naturalistic tragedy.

I'm sure they've already got a blank lying bigot ready in the chamber, but it's nice they fired Tucker
