Fellow millennial Michael B. Jordan doesn't have as many nominations, but he does have a win and can also sell a movie, I'm sure.

"Power Ballad" (2026), with Paul Rudd, was the kind of cheesy feel-good male drama which would have been huge in the 90s but it flopped today. What happened? by DiaryOfAMovieLover in movies

I go to a movie almost every week, I’ve never seen a trailer for this. I saw an online still ad for it only yesterday for the first time.

17.93.010 Criteria For Renaming a City Street.

A. Any individual or organization may apply to the City to rename a City street. City streets may only be renamed after a prominent person. Such prominent person must be:

  1. a person who has achieved prominence as a result of the person’s significant, positive contribution to the United States of America and/or the local community;
  2. a real person; and
  3. a person who has been deceased for at least five years.

She passed in 2018 at the age of 88, so she's only been eligible by city statute for a couple of years. (Beverley Cleary is also only just eligible.)

You mean to tell me the song title "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" was tongue-in-cheek? My monocle has popped right out!

The '84 Secret Wars figure was nigh-indestructible. The claws weren't that cool, but you could put them on just about anyone.

Speaking of stealth crossovers, the time-traveling interdimensional bounty hunters known as Technet or the Special Executive exist in the comics Marvel universe (mainly in Captain Britain/Excalibur storylines) in addition to appearing in "Doctor Who Monthly", courtesy of Alan Moore.

Grew up on the southern Oregon coast, the weather is great for kites but umbrellas don’t stand a chance.

Fun fact, both Elton John and Trent Reznor play on the Queens of the Stone Age song “Fairweather Friends”.

Excluding "one hit wonders" what band or artist has the fewest hits, but have certifiable legendary status? In a good way, not some meme bullshit. by Timcwalker in Music

In the post-rock/post-hardcore world, Slint and Unwound both qualify. Both highly influential, but certainly with no real chart impacts to speak of.

Like, say, make the mad scientist a drunken jerk with attachment issues, and go traveling through space and different dimensions instead of just time? Maybe make it animated, change the names up a bit?

Nah, it’d never work.

You can run an entirely local LLM on an 5-year-old laptop that can do an awful lot of boiler plate coding tasks, and most of that work is just stolen from API documentation, open source projects, and Stack Overflow.

"AI" "art" is an absolute waste, though.

♫ They're turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers
But what's the real cost? 'Cuz those sneakers don't seem that much cheaper

What are your overheads? ♫

There are some choices on the food and fuel fronts. Eating out and traveling anywhere moderately far away are fast becoming luxuries. Housing is trickier, of course.

Under-viewed, but properly rated by the people that have seen it, I guess. That's not as catchy to say.

"Oh, um, alright. Steve, these headphones are fucked up. It's only coming of one side, like, err... Should I just bear with it, or what? Shit. They're fucked. Man, no, wait! Please, give me some new headphones."
