The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.

Every James Cameron story is like "I hate my ex wife so much and created such dangerous conditions in set that nearly a dozen people died"

This does not seem out of character

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

Putting Jurasek on today seems like such a good move. Completely the opposite of when Farke destroyed Tzolis' confidence by trashing him in the press #ncfc

joining the war on AI on the side of bong joon ho

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

If this guy doesn’t like fiction that deviates from documented events and characterisations, just wait until he sees the Historical Plays of… *checks notes* wait this can’t be right

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

The new film “Hamnet” offers up a vision of William Shakespeare as “Marlon Brando in Elizabethan drag,” writes Drew Lichtenberg. While this character may appeal to some, it “played to me like mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation.”
Opinion | ‘Hamnet’ Reimagines Shakespeare for the TikTok Generation
Our love of his plays have led to a centuries-long fascination with the writer. So why does each new fictional iteration get his life so wrong?

When a doctor told me I’d come close to dying, and that the play had to stop using real knives, I remember thinking: “You just don’t understand theatre.”

Walking alone through downtown Lagrange. Everything is closed, no one is out. Pop punk music is playing from somewhere and I have to seriously consider that I am in a film scene with non-diegetic music

SUNO r/SunoAl Jo 6h ago Join ThrowRA1234567788777 Sick of having to come up with prompts Discussion ... Hey y'all, looking for some tips here. I like what I've made so far with Suno but now I'm kind of hitting a wall with ideas for prompts. Why doesn't Suno also have a feature to write prompts for you? Like just hit a button the says "new prompt" and then hit make song when it comes up with something that sounds interesting! Thoughts?

"We are all fools to have left Chicago. It was a town to play in; a town where you could stay yourself, and where the hoots of the critics couldn't frighten your style or drain your soul." — Ben Hecht, writing about his friendship and writing collaborations with Charles MacArthur
We are all fools to have left Chicago. It was a town to play in; a town where you could stay yourself, and where the hoots of the critics couldn't frighten your style or drain your soul. Charlie preserved it in his heart. Our friendship was based, largely, on the nostalgia we shared for this stockyard Athens. We both knew that the world would turn up nothing better for us than the frowsy streets and hooligan towers of Chicago.

Heart of Darkness with Wedge—sitting in spaceport, telling some idealistic kid who grew up post-rebelleion about how Luke Skywalker turned him into a scalpel to go in and destabilize former Imperial worlds, with his soul dying a little more after every mission

My soul yearns for a film where an aging Wedge Antilles has to confront the fact that no living person in the galaxy has killed more people than him.
