I cannot adequately convey how much I loved Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. Read what @hertzbarry.bsky.social has to say about it - and then go see this movie Feb 13 when it opens. Elbows up, laugh your head off, go Canada. NTBTSTM is so, so great.

This is a fascinating question from a storytelling perspective.
As a hardware & software designer, it got me thinking:
Is robot eye colour a low-level diagnostic output, over which the robots have no control (akin to our pupil dilation) …
… or do robots choose to make their own eyes red to scowl?

Does anybody know when the first example of a robot's eyes turning red to show they've turned evil is?

David McGuinty, Canada's Minister of National Defence, has responded to Donald Trump's claim that America has "never really asked anything" of NATO, that the alliance sent only "some troops" to Afghanistan and that "they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."
It's pretty blunt.

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

A horse walks into a bar.
"Why the long face?" asks the barman.
"Your lungs hold around 5 litres" replies the horse. "Mine hold 50. I can breathe in almost two THOUSAND litres of air a minute. Big lungs need big noses and big mouths, which need long faces. Centaurs? They'd fucking suffocate, mate"

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.
