I can actually see Michelle Gomez being perfect in this.

Having said that, a lot of Brad Bird's work doesn't particularly hit with me, including stuff that other people absolutely love. So it's more about striking a cord that anything I can quantify.

Ratatouille is my favorite Pixar movie, and it's not any one particular scene. The way Remy talks about food captured the joy of creation in a way that really spoke to me.

I might have said this before, but I'd *love* another season of ACoFaF. The setting is so strong, you could bring back the same players with different characters.

Dimension 20 made a few puzzles work, but mainly the Aabria episodes. Her brain and Rick Perry's whole team building elaborate puzzle floors is a tough level to match.

"I feel like whoever wrote this didn't want to write it."

I get the reverse impression. I feel like the writer worked feverishly to do the best job they could in the half an hour they were given to write it.

"Where's my thesaurus?! What rhymes with Halloween?! Tambourine?! Okay!"

I love the fact that the best impression wasn't one of the ones in the prompt.

Laundry isn't an argument for being naked. It's an argument for wearing the same sweatpants and sweatshirt 24/7.

Well, by that logic Marceline the vampire queen isn't a vampire, and nobody better try to make that argument.

I think this kid grew up to be my computer graphics professor in college.

At the end of the interview, don't forget to start yelling, "OFF RECORD! OFF RECORD!"

That, and Grant O'Brien goes to their house to give back massages.

This stuff makes me remember when my history professor pointed out that Hitler did not look anything like the Aryan ideal that he promoted.

The comic in the "comic" link is not the comic that is pictured.

I was surprised that Erica was in the con position on this topic.

So there might be good reasons to change my opinion, but changing my opinion because of the *possibility* that someone might give me a reason to change my mind is just a road to madness.

Jason Bryant @jasonbryant.bsky.social · 9d

Too many variables for that. Sometimes I have an opinion because a doctor I trust told me something and it makes sense. If another doctor disagreed, I wouldn't know enough to debate him, but changing my opinion just means I'm going to have to change back when I talk to the first doctor again.

The thing that pissed me off was the assertion that Trek has "always" had a 95% male audience.

That's not just wrong, that's a complete denial of the actual history of the franchise.

This is yet another AI video that feels like a stress dream I can't wake up from. That's becoming a genre.

I knew he directed the movie, but I didn't know until now that he was part of the TV show as well.

If Binging with Babbish is there, then I'd love Adam Ragusea. Very different types of cooks, but that's what would make it fun.

Just yesterday I read an insane article saying that only Republican men watch Star Trek, that's how it's *always* been, and the show should embrace its roots by avoiding progressive issues.

I gave up before I could figure out if the article was deliberate rage bait.

The sunk cost falacy, when applied to our opinions and which people we identify with, is massively destructive. The mentality of "I'm a good person, so everything I've ever done must be the kind of thing good people do" is dangerously appealing.

Jason Bryant @jasonbryant.bsky.social · 10d

Yep, same. I checked a couple of their posts on their profile to make sure first, and it was all the same stuff attacking lots of people.

Blockity block.

Everything he says is over the top. He doesn't just think visual only systems are better than LIDAR, he thinks LIDAR is "stupid". He doesn't just think his employees should work more, he thinks anyone who doesn't sleep at work is a loser.

Everything is hyperbole. No room in his head for nuance.
