I don’t know if I have it in me to read ten days of posts about turnout trends in various Texas counties

Was anyone going to tell me Emmanuel Lubezki shot DIGGER on VistaVision? What the hell have I been doing all month? Is there an 8am showing anywhere?
Photographers: DIGGER was shot on VistaVision. That's 35mm film running sideways through the camera, 8 perforations a frame, roughly twice the image area of standard 35mm. The camera design is from 1954. The lenses are Leitz. Behind it is Emmanuel Lubezki, who won three Oscars in a row. Not a phone-screen film. FDFS at #VictoryCinema? victorycinema.in #Digger #TomCruise #Bengaluru #VistaVision

Marxism isn't some rigid political dogma. Its a powerful set of intellectual tools for criticising films and music you don't like.

This is kind of a niche one but you have to respect the French épéeist Laurence Épée
Name an athlete whose real name is so good it sounds made up. Not a nickname, the actual name on the birth certificate. Any sport, any era.

I don’t really care about the Flames one way or another but this guy rules. Also has a pet rabbit, which makes him an honorary cat guy
Devin Cooley seems to always have the most goalie-coded responses and might be the most entertaining interview in hockey 😭🤣

There are two ways to be a goalie and this is one of them xitter.cf/GinoHard_/status/19914…
“Nothing matters, nobody cares, we’re all gonna die.” Devin Cooley on what he tells himself to stay grounded in net 😭

I don’t agree with this. Cooley has no thoughts for about 2 hours and 40 minutes because he’s doing something like meditating while he plays; they all come rushing back at the end of the game. Wallace’s problem with Austin is that she seems to have no thoughts at all, ever

The perfect album is 12 songs, 72 minutes and 11 seconds, and was released on May 2, 1989 by Fiction in the UK and Elektra in the USA
since we’re doing album discourse, lemme add my lukewarm take: the “perfect” album duration is 10 songs and 28-32 minutes.

Maybe more interesting: just realized that you can weigh something to find out its weight, but you can’t heigh it to measure its height

This property tax discourse pops up every few months on here and I’m willing to bet that 90% of the confusion is caused by the fact that property tax is paid semiannually by the escrow company and charged monthly on the mortgage statement

Like if you’d been paying it separately for 30 years I imagine unless you have “taxation is theft” in bio you’d be like “hmm well this is still a lot of money but at least I’m done paying interest on my loan to a completely separate entity that doesn’t maintain roads and schools”

Reaping [tax escrow lowering the salience of property taxes, allowing for higher rates]: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Sowing [the salience property tax skyrocketing as people pay off their mortgages]: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

The Jalen Hurts situation is disturbing enough that I don’t even feel good pointing out how cool it is that he turned his name into a grammatically complete sentence
