for the entrepreneurs

w/ the movie theatre model in freefall, try this

Instead of mega rooms with fixed watch times for a handful of currents

Divide those spaces into 8-10 person groups, each on a theme, w/ streaming or new release options and rooms cycle based on view time (2-4 hr blocks)

No go, wait stop, then you are dead….

Seems a bit extreme for a punishment

Shirley, this is a fire-able offense?

And yes, I called you Shirley

“Time, it's not what you think. Complicated. Very complicated. Most people think time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but in fact, from a non linear, non subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey... Stuff.”

Cory, little bro, luv ya I do

But when I hear “ #ensh*tification” I just hear MIGA (Internet)

It was never great & hardly good, there are some Uber-bad ‘hoods out there now, but before, it was kinda nightmare. Remember when CodeRed wasn’t just a flavor of Mtn Dew?

It’s diff, but not dead, 4.0!!

Was eating 煲仔飯 with family and one of them noted that they used the new Huangmaohai Link to get to Taishan. I didn't even know such a bridge was in the works. The bridge is 31km long and is a logical extension to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge to Western Guangdong...

Three Glaciers is about as remote as it gets. A handful of tents perched on hard blue ice, tucked between the ridgelines where three glaciers meet. Quiet, cold, and a long way from anywhere. #Antarctica #Photography

So just a few more days in this 100th anniversary of #Quantum Mechanics

Not in a few days, it was apparently the whole year, we need a day tho, like Solvay day or something, still some time left there then.

But lets be real, there are still some big ? In the whole thing, maybe we need a new frame…

This song came to mind this weekend for some reason

Sadly its just the placeholder presumably the original had a takedown since it had the actual clips in sync but hello PARODY

So O&G not a contributor to climate change huh?

This actually tracks, brought to you by the same people who say guns dont kill people, only people do.

By that logic, its not the gas that did it but the person driving the car (or buying the plastic widget produced by that sprawling factory)

Damn is the public so sadistic that they wanted the shutdown to continue indefinitely over some idealistic impossibility. Glad folks are getting back to work and getting the help they need once again. It was the RIGHT thing to do

3 quotes, do u know who said them?

“Who controls the past controls the present; who controls the present controls the future”

“If you ignore the past you jeopardize the #future

“A people without a #history is like a root without trees”

All very emblematic of #Via, first official post next week!

Damn, the #vineland move is as good as they say! Better even! Could you imagine if that was real life?

I just wish it had been the Crying of Lot 49. Coulda called it Going Postal (all credit to Mr #Pratchett)

Fun etymology about the word Hypocrite!

The -crite part comes from the Greek to judge (think criterion, criteria, critical) while hypo- means below or under.

So literally hypocrisy is just making judgements from a lower position than that being judged.

Which way is up rn????

Every1 knows how #comedy works right?

The key is theres always an #elementoftruth in each fantastical nugget. Otherwise its just exposition. Erosion of comedy is just allowing exposition alone into comedy.

Def could be worse

Would love to know the Venn Diagram for group chats that:

1. Were created since 2020
2. Discuss me but dont include me
3. Are being monitored without their knowledge

Is it just a bunch of concentric circles??? And what is the order????
