Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my all-timers. It's got everything, and everyone. Well made, and made with love. Fun and funny and heartbreaking and thrilling in turn. Defies definition without obscuring its message

One of those movies I'll watch any time it's on

It has my full recommendation

Lovely Day by Bill Withers. To my ears it's like Lloyd Christmas doing the most annoying sound in the world
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

something that's been on my mind for a while is the rise of liberal/leftist protest in the last decade. it's led to a lot of good things, from righteous causes and community aid to cultivated empathy and candor on behalf of the vulnerable. I've definitely mobilized and radicalized, and it's helped

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

This one might be mine! Peak Russell Crowe narration, the Gandalf music, Supes doing everyday things because that's the kind of guy he aspires to be, etc.

The movie itself doesn't do it for me, but the trailer still gives me chills
