Something that unreasonably bothers me: people who obsessively close all the apps on their phone.

Hope it’s not too late, but finally watching Weapons.

Remember when people learned the helpful purple ape they downloaded to their computer to do simple tasks was actually harvesting their data and selling it to advertisers?
Everybody hated it and it destroyed the company.
What we learned is you have to convince someone that the cartoon ape can really think first, then everyone is fine with it.

The moment I realized I love William H Macy as an actor was when he delivered the “the glass tubes” monologue in an episode of Sports Night.

@nprofile…d0yj I get what you’re saying. South of social media has been about capturing eyeballs to sell adds to, that it didn’t matter if most users were lurking (as we called it back in the forum days). I remember when Facebook added the feed (copying twitter) and to get people to use it, literally the first thing that appeared when you logged in was a “what’s happening?” input box. This made posting first an easier thing to do, and scrolling/seeing what others were doing, something that happened after you posted a status update.
I think it would be interesting to make a fedi-front end that asks you to post before you see things. (With an option to dismiss/bypass it)

This spider has a serious web built on our porch and I’ve been trying to get a good picture for days. We named the spider Rebecca.

@nprofile…dl84 Gunna be honest, I don't love this take. It's scootching real close to "Depression is just in your head" or "change your state, change your mind" territory, which are both things said by people who tend to profit off not believing mental illness is real. Personally my depression only got diagnosed *after* my life got significantly better. I came off 6 months of being unemployed, got a great job, and still felt like everything was hopeless. That's when a doctor finally heard me and said, "Oh, maybe we can try some drugs."
Materially changing my circumstances by any amount probably wouldn't fix my brain chemistry.

I don’t think I have much interesting to say about The Third Man for #MovieClub that hasn’t been said before (beautifully shot, Welles is a blast, that climax!) so instead I’ll mention how this film was in the public domain and then taken back out and given copyright again (in the US). Obviously the Supreme Court has made many worse decisions, and they weren’t specifically targeting this film, but it sure holds up the lie in the implied agreement about copyright from the beginning. “Complete control for the author for a limited time, in exchange for everyone getting to use it afterwards”
Unless we change our mind and you used a public domain work for your own purposes and now you’re SOL.

Stop sharing “AI” generated anything for any reason.
We know it’s bad and wrong, but showing it to us to tell us means I have to see it.

I will always think of Nathan Fillion as the boyfriend from Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place because that’s where I saw him first. Firefly, Castle and The Rookie are all second (or lower) fiddle.

I only watched 4 movies this week? That can’t be right. I must be slipping. #LastWeekWatched

I like visible mending. I just stitched closed a rip in a pillowcase. I only have one color of thread readily available (black) and it didn’t match the pillowcase (cream). So now I can see the hole and where it was fixed. It says even though something broke, it wasn’t broken, and more importantly it was fixed instead of being thrown out.

Been seeing an uptick in people posting/boosting images without alt-text in my feeds. Im not going to point fingers, but I’ll tell you that alt-text is a benefit for everyone. I read it all the time for additional context and to make sure I understand what I’m seeing.
So please take the extra 30 seconds. Put some alt text on your pictures.

@nprofile…7j4x I’m seriously considering grabbing that Incubus blu. Just such a weird film.

I’ve been trying to think of what to put in an #introduction post that I can pin, since I’m on a new server. But I’ve been having a hard time thinking about my own identity. Who am I? What do I want people to think of me? How do I think of me?
I watch movies, often with an eye towards dramaturgy/structure.
I’m a post-modernist, like they warned you about in school, but they didn’t understand why they were warning you.
I’m a cishet white dude, which means I got dealt life in easy mode.
I live in the woods.
I make my own soap.
I write a weekly newsletter, and publish a podcast much less frequently.
I want to know what you’re nerdy about.
I’m not above putting on an affectation.
I don’t know nearly as much as people think I do, but I retain weird things that people don’t expect.
I collect physical media (mostly BluRay)
I’ve probably got ADHD but I’ve developed enough coping strategies that I’ve remained undiagnosed.
I dunno, what do you think of me?
