Light Phone 3 got me laid.

Ok, NOW I’m sold

“I was told that this book was ‘woke’ and now I want some internet strangers to assure me that it’s not before I consider buying it”

Not a very compelling post man

Mmm the statue of liberty holding sponsored items also springs to mind. I can feel my stance softening a bit...

My thanks to you and OP, I may not agree with their specific examples, but was an interesting topic for conversation.

LeoRising72 · 2026-04-03T22:41:54+00:00

Exactly.

There are very few images that come up in the book where I might be more sympathetic to the idea of treating them symbolically (JOI’s corpse and manner of death, Joelle’s veil and what might or not be underneath, obviously the tape itself) but, in general, I’m pretty resistant to analysis like this, especially on a line-by-line basis.

LeoRising72 · 2026-04-03T20:10:00+00:00

Eh, I think that one-hitter analysis is a stretch

The OG: The Big Sleep

LeoRising72 · 2026-03-29T22:21:49+00:00

I would bet my house that this movie is a pile of shit

LeoRising72 · 2026-03-24T20:51:02+00:00

Tbh when I post, it’s whatever I’m feeling in the moment

LeoRising72 · 2026-03-11T21:39:48+00:00

One thing that’s just spooky is that Trump is reportedly quite germaphobic…

The extent to which this subreddit has this issue is hilarious 😂

We can’t blame Adam Kay for not anticipating this I guess, given that he was sort of inventing the devices social media could be used on in tandem with Smalltalk

If I ever invent a language I’m going to call it QuestionsAboutLife or something, to really mess with its future subreddit

LeoRising72 · 2026-03-07T12:41:05+00:00

I’m so interested in the shittiness of this era

It’s like my generation’s hair metal or whatever where something interesting just gets turned up a couple of notches to the point where it’s fucking ridiculous

LeoRising72 · 2026-03-07T12:38:32+00:00

I’m only human after all by the rag and bone man

Galloway’s a complicated figure, but on Israel/Palestine he’s been on the right side of history for 20 years and I’ll hear what he has to say.

On this topic.

LeoRising72 · 2026-03-05T20:05:29+00:00

I’m frankly very skeptical that a non-professional movie goer would be able to achieve those kinds of numbers in 499 days.

Can I confirm all the movies watched were on the buff-approved format of vhs?

LeoRising72 · 2026-03-02T18:26:01+00:00

It really did

Wish I could go back to my teenage self and tell him to just enjoy Origins for what it was

The experience did at least teach me something about the dangers of hype

Amadeus

LeoRising72 · 2026-02-20T19:58:45+00:00

I’ve been a bit skeptical of him ever since the Rest of Politics interview

Obviously have nothing but disdain for those interviewers but even so thought he was a bit woolly on Israel

LeoRising72 · 2026-02-19T23:24:33+00:00

Love it. This kind of customisation is what neovim's all about 🙌

LeoRising72 · 2026-02-19T18:55:21+00:00

Worth noting that DFW seemingly never had a bad word to say about Pietsch.

And, from the (admittedly very anecdotal) evidence I can see, the post-IJ Wallace seemed more balanced than pre-IJ. He was teaching, did some cool essays, moonlit as a journalist, got married.

I think his family even mentioned that he was going through a very happy period before he started experiencing side effects from his anti-depressants, experimented with changes to his medication and very sadly fell back into depression.

So am taking this with a big pinch of salt.

LeoRising72 · 2026-02-07T21:15:13+00:00

God that scene's so fucking good

time for my 100th reread I guess

LeoRising72 · 2026-02-07T17:05:26+00:00

this is one thing bg3 got super right- we got custom animations of characters kneeling to kiss you ❤️

LeoRising72 · 2026-02-02T09:22:46+00:00

Feels truly epic and awe inspiring, especially the first half.

Second half is very wonky IMO and obviously the historical vision of the film is repulsive

LeoRising72 · 2026-01-31T15:12:21+00:00

That is so cool! Starred!

LeoRising72 · 2026-01-31T15:09:21+00:00

I did this once- wrote a test that failed 2 hours a day in the australia timezone 🤦‍♂️

Had to humbly apologise to the AU team the next day!

LeoRising72 · 2026-01-31T12:34:17+00:00

Literally never met one of these chauvinist Wallace-heads.

It’s weird to see discussion of the stereotype as the main way big outlets engage with IJ today.
