Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

How am I just finding out now that "It's Morbin Time" is an actual thing Jared Leto says in Morbius. I genuinely thought that was just the internet making fun of the movie by making up bad dialogue

I know people are talking about OpenAI Not knowing how to make a simple graph correctly, but can we also appreciate that in the corrected graph, they're just openly saying "Remember our previous models that we showcased in december as the future of technology? Yeh so they lie like 20% of the time"

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.

the best legacy of Harry Potter at this point is elevating three children that all seem to have become incredibly decent and interesting adults
Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards
