Johnny Mnemonic

It’s absolute trash compared to the novel and could’ve ruined the cyberpunk genre but it somehow managed to flail about with a good enough cast of up and comers that it became a timeless legend.

An "irori" is a type of hearth, a corner of traditional Japanese houses cut into the ground in a square shape, filled with ashes, and reserved for lighting fires with wood or charcoal. In ancient times, it was also called "hitaki" or "jikaro."
mnemonic "i (1) i (1) ro (6)" (good hearth).

Gonna have to watch it again. That might be a fun triple bill, Johnny Mnemonic, Starship Troopers, and Tank Girl. Maybe throw Hackers on that list, too

Johnny Mnemonic is still a fun movie, but the hacker stuff feels like a beta for a mobile app.

"I can't believe it. She's not coming. I can't believe it, I'm not going."

"Indiana Jones, this is a night you'll never forget! This is the night I slipped through your fingers!"
"Glaaah... ggggkkk..."

seriously, the soundtrack's so awesome it's a powerful mnemonic even if the movie was ehhh.

is there a Spanish version of the SALUTE or ALERTA mnemonic device? like for reporting/spreading info in an emergency

There are of course knock-on effects caused by the larger culture such canons are built in, but they are not much more than mnemonic systems that can and should be modified as one sees fit!

The mnemonic is that her name has five letters who’s is the same fifth place she tied with a trans woman.

Trying to come up with a mnemonic device to remember which is "uke" and which is "seme."

I'm just realizing Cyberpunk 2077 is just Johnny Mnemonic with extra steps.

To Democrats on how to further hurt Trump's approval ratings:

"Here’s a simple one-two-three program: tariffs, ICE, and Epstein. And, if it’s helpful, here’s a simple mnemonic to TIE those things together."
"Sometimes what’s right isn’t popular, and sometimes what’s popular isn’t right." Trump isn't right or popular, so press the advantage.
ICE Started the Fire
Rather than trying to calm things down, the government is fanning the flames.

If I were a Johnny mnemonic I'd get rid of all my MMO memories

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social TIEs together a winning message. Tariffs, ICE, and Epstein. His mnemonic already helped me remember it.

Jan 15th 2021 - A group of scientists smuggled out the cure for NAS (Nerve Attenuation Syndrome) from Pharmakom Industries. They faxed Spider of the NAS Underground to let him know they'd got the data, and were getting it to him

did you know: john and john wrote "fingertips" as a musical mnemonic guide to the DSM-3R as a quick reference for med students (hence, at their fingertips); "spiraling shape" is widely acknowledged as a prophetic scifi commentary about AI psychosis

I just watched Johnny Mnemonic on Netflix.
From 1995 about a guy who's an information smuggler with a chip in his head.
It's supposed to be set in 2021.
Is that why dumbass pushed Neurolink?

I liked JOHNNY MNEMONIC better really. It was a solid cyberpunk story and Keanu's rather wooden acting in that film seemed perfect for the character
January 15, 2026 at 6:28 AM
watched johnny mnemonic with the lads today and it was really good, i liked it, the acting made it feel like one of those cuts of a gay porn movie where they edit out all the porn and just keep the story intact. 10/10

Finished Gunbuster and the takeaway from the last episode: they got Johnny Mnemonic Jones tech

Johnny Mnemonic (1995) dares to ask the question, “What if a stylish cyberpunk thriller starring a hot young Keanu Reeves was somehow a really bad movie?”
January 15, 2026 at 4:22 AM
As a point of kinda filmic cyberpunk comparison I think it is so incredibly perfect that Keanu Reeves did both The Matrix and Johnny Mnemonic and they’re like four years apart
January 15, 2026 at 4:21 AM
I just realized Musk's entire Neurolink idea is based on the Keanu Reeves movie from 1995, Johnny Mnemonic, where he's a data smuggler with a brain implant.
The movie was supposed to be set in 2021

I wonder how much is just students reaching for "debt" as a mnemonic.
January 15, 2026 at 2:57 AM
The mnemonic for this that someone taught me was that the yawl has the mizzen mast yawl the way back, while on a ketch it's ketching up. (Which is, obviously, completely related to any etymology, but it's a fun way to remember it.
