  • In 2015, the City of San Diego pledged to end pedestrian traffic deaths. They've only increased. San Diego stands in a worse position today than 10 years ago

  • No, see, their plan is to kill all pedestrians, then there won't be any pedestrians left to die!

  • Paul Thomas Anderson pushes back on the idea that the industry no longer greenlights original projects, naming his favorites from 2025 as examples: 'Weapons', 'Bugonia', 'Marty Supreme', etc.

    Jump

  • What's so funny about this is 1. Bugonia is a remake of a Korean film, 2. the director of Weapons was immediately hired to make yet another Resident Evil movie, and 3. Marty Supreme was based on the life of a real person. He's 0/3 on his examples.

  • ‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head

  • Whatever tiny hope of correcting this died when Trump was re-elected. It's been game over for a while now. That's not to say we shouldn't try to make a difference where we can, but it's too late for Earth.

  • Jeff Bridges Says It’s ‘Interesting’ to Consider Movies Like ‘Tron: Ares’ Box Office Failures After Just Opening Weekend: ‘Things Can Grow on You’

    Jump

  • He's got a point about movies growing on people, of course. However, a movie's opening weekend is most likely going to be its biggest. Also, it's generally agreed that Ares is terrible, this isn't the kind of film people will look back on in ten or twenty years and think "this is actually a hidden gem!"

  • Weekly thread - What movies have you watched this week? 29/10/2025

  • Ip Man 2: great kung-fu flick with fantastic acting, as expected from Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung. Equally great action. I had already seen Ip Man 4, so it was interesting to see how the film differs in its depiction of racism. It was more subtle and insidious in 4, but the overt hatred in 2 was no less infuriating.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? October 28

  • Gate of Ivrel, an old sci-fi/fantasy mash-up by CJ Cherryh, whose work I've been really getting into lately. This is the first of the Morgaine Cycle sub-series in the Alliance-Universe series.

    I'm about 75% through and loving it so far. There's very little action, its more of a character-drive story focusing on an agent from a futurist society (Morgaine) sent to a planet to close a series of gates used for intergalactic and time travel. She, along with 100 others she was sent with, were ambushed with her the only survivor. She goes through one of the gates herself in a desperate attempt to survive, and exits in what is to her only a few minutes, but in reality over 100 years have passed. She meets with Vanye, an outcast who killed his brother (in self-defense) who is terrified of Morgaine and the stories of old about her. She employs his help thanks to an ancient, honor-bound tradition, and the two set off to close the last gate at Ivrel.

  • Warner Bros. Discovery puts itself up for sale

  • I'll give you five bucks and a pack of gum. That's pretty generous, imo.

  • Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"

    Jump

  • After several months of experimenting with different distros, I just yesterday made the full-time switch to Linux Mint. I'm pretty happy with it so far, I'm just wondering why I hadn't done it sooner.

  • Users vow to boycott Spotify after streamer runs ICE recruitment ad

    Jump

  • Are these the same users that that vowed to boycott Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Substack? Or are these the same users that vowed to boycott when Spotify started banking Joe Rogan and other rightwingers?

    I've stopped using all of the above years ago, I'm no hypocrite, but I also know the number of people who will drop Spotify over this are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of its massive user base. Nothing will ever change when it comes to big social media/tech companies like this because too many people don't actually care.
