"Jared Leto's performance is weightless, devoid of pathos or humanity. He's unusually fascinated by automata and god-like characters who don’t age, reflecting his off-putting off-screen persona."

#TronAres is a pointless sequel with an incredible soundtrack

A review by @redroomrantings.bsky.social

Tron: Ares is a pointless sequel with an incredible soundtrack

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

One thing the anti-bike lane crowd HATES is that the bike path is ROMANTIC. That’s where you’re going to meet your future lover. They want to take that from you!

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

Maggie the Pug is majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Josh. She’s wearing Cher’s classic yellow plaid ensemble.

For @theringer.com.web.brid.gy I attempted to use Apple’s new AirPods and translation app to watch foreign language films. Could they make subtitles obsolete? Well…

Could the AirPods Pro 3 Mean the End of Subtitles?

Apple’s newest headphones boast an instantaneous translation app. Let’s put them to the test in a movie theater.

Combattre la pauvreté au Québec, ça va avec défendre la Palestine. C'est relié.

Le parti NPD qui a voulu le régime de soins dentaire pour les plus pauvres, c'est lui qui défend le plus la Palestine.

Le parti conservateur se fout des pauvres d'ici et des vies humaines palestiniennes. #polcan

Toute qu'une époque. Le chef de la sécurité publique du Québec qui retweet un compte fake qui fait dans la haine des arabes sur sa page.

Aussi Jihad veut dire résistance. Soit que Ian Lafrenière est mal informé ou il veut faire peur aux gens en déformant le sens de ce mot. #polqc
