Warner Bros. wasn't even up for sale. Big bad Paramount just decided they wanted it, Warner was like "Wait, we can sell this thing?" and now Paramount doesn't even get it. What an absolutely stupid chain of events.

These books left an indelible impression on me. I used to devour them every holiday, especially winter lying under the blankets. Really hope the film can do my imagination justice.

JFC seeing people on this app defend the admiral that ordered the second strike on people in water. Motherfuckers he’s an admiral that followed an immoral and fucking illegal order. Whether they are throwing him under the bus or not, he did that

Remember they didn this with Buffy when they released a 16:9 version. Sometimes you just gotta live with 4:3 to maintain the illusion
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

I’ve got a staff member, a qualified CA, complaining that over month end they have to put in some extra hours. I dunno man, I get the working to live thing, but also I see that sometimes you gotta do an extra hour or two.

The first car manufacturer that eschews electronic door handles, touch screens for all internal controls, easy to source spares, stupid RFID/keyless entry and start and prioritises repairability will get me to consider upgrading from my 12 year old Picanto. All this stuff is just expensive tat

Yay just got sent financial year end deadlines & cause Easter is the first weekend of April, Group just thinks we can work that weekend and bring all deadlines forward to Easter Monday. Now in a normal business that’s not a problem, but in a bank certain regs mean we can’t run systems over a weekend

This is getting attention (rightfully) because the US troops occupying Japan did this to an American citizen.
But let’s be clear, they regularly commit crimes, including sexual assault, against the Ryukyuans.
Regional stability starts with expelling US troops.
