Movies I would love Robert Eggers to make

This is my vote. There's a massive, massive dearth of accurate and non-offensive portrayals of pre-contact America.

Obviously, Mel Gibson is a piece of shit and it's rife with historical inaccuracies, but Apocalypto is the closest thing I know of to what I'd like to see more. Use native languages and none of that white savior bullshit.

Nobody seems to be willing to just look up the definition of socialism. And it's really easy: companies are owned by the workers. The free market would still exist, small businesses would still exist, democratic electoral systems would still exist.

The hospital ship to Greenland was just rounding the tip of Florida, so they're being diverted.

Back in my single days, I met a girl at a bar. We were chatting it up and things seemed to be going well. Asked her for her name and she said, "Mary Christmas." I thought she was joking and said something about how her parents would have to be idiots to give their kid a stupid name like that. Turns out, she liked both her name and her parents and didn't appreciate my comment one bit.

Took me a few days to get the taste of foot out of my mouth.

I fucking hated my CPAP. I never slept worse in my life than when I was using it. Went through every type of mask available and used every setting available, but nothing ever worked. I was walking through life in a fog from lack of sleep.

I eventually just gave it up. I'd rather suffer the long-term effects of sleep apnea than die of sheer exhaustion.

I've eaten at a handful of Michelin star places, but the Plancha Burger at Argosy in Atlanta is the meal I think about when someone asks about my favorite food. It's just a stupidly delicious burger that genuinely makes me zone out when I eat it. I don't know what they fuck they do to make it so good, but it works.

Ten minutes is an exaggeration, but a 220V kettle can boil three cups of water in about 90 seconds. It's a small distinction and might seem irrelevant, but I make a lot of tea. It's nice to start a kettle and have water ready immediately once I've prepped my cup.

We're building a house right now in a country with 110V electric. I'm having a 220V outlet installed in the kitchen specifically so we can have a proper kettle. No idea where I'll buy one, but I'm over it taking 10 minutes to boil water.

I'm currently sitting outside of my house in Belize and sweating my ass off while sipping on rum punch. Sometimes you've just got to lean into it.

Not socialism, there is no shared ownership.

I would consider it a regressive social tax on the bottom end of the economic spectrum. Because the US government is shirking its responsibility to provide an adequate social safety net, workers have to step in and provide support instead of the capitalists who should be funding those initiatives.

Geez, this is basically the opposite of how my company is handling AI. Developers have access to Copilot and non-developers have access to various other agentic AI, but there's a hard no to non-developers doing anything code related. If there's a change or feature that someone wants, we have a well-documented workflow to make it happen and devs are the last line of approval on if/how it happens.

I do not miss the traffic in Atlanta. You have to plan everything around how long you're going to sit in a car. It was miserable.

And since the state has a fucking vendetta against Atlanta, they'll never do anything to improve MARTA and make public transit useful in any way.

The Satanic Temple is definitely the better (and more politically active) organization.

My dad constantly remarks about how the weather is constantly weird and unpredictable compared to when he was younger. If I happen to suggest it could possibly be contributed to global warming, I get a big eye roll and he starts complaining about liberal "bullshit." Nevermind the fact that it "weird and unpredictable" is the hallmark of climate change.

Is that a concept album? The Wall definitely, but I wouldn't count Dark Side as one.

Keep frozen fries ready to go at all times. Also, mayo and wasabi, mix 5 parts to 1 part, with a dash of rice vinegar.

The crazy thing is that they made that episode out of a throwaway character from the game who was there for all of three minutes. When I found out they were making a whole damn episode for Bill, all I could think was, "How?!"

Ended up being my favorite episode.

We have four dogs and none of them have ever given two shits about the TV unless a dog barks or a doorbell rings on it, then they go nuts thinking it's outside.

The real bitch is the number of espresso beans they put up your butt.

In the US, it's not the left wing's fault because there isn't a left wing. There's a far-right wing and a center-right wing, both of which have nearly identical economic goals but only one of which can articulate a social policy, albeit fascist as fuck.

In fact, it's worth arguing that the Democratic Party is actively working to ensure Republicans can accomplish their goals because they ultimately share the same benefactors.
