I think if you're under 50 years old, you'll probably be impacted by the effects of climate change for a majority of your life at this point. The change won't be an instant thing like in The Day After Tomorrow after you're long dead, it's happening now when you're alive.

I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.

Wow, that's actually scary and impressive how good it is.

Wasn't the cool cop named Homer Simpson in the pilot, who then became an idiot laughing stock, causing people also named Homer Simpson to change their name to Max Power, after a hairdryer?

And that's the end of that case.

Did they at least point out that she had two sets of skeletons inside her? If not, missed opportunity for Bones

this, Dexter season 3 in a nutshell

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I think it's a different type of grit, for sure different than the Netflix series. I'm 3 episodes in, and there's many actors who were on The Deuce, it's like a weird mashup, substituting the sex in The Deuce for vigilantism, and obviously modern. Still though, the politics with Fisk, the focus on less established media, and corrupt law enforcement, it seems like a watered down version of what we'd get if David Simon made a Marvel series.

Catching up, and literally just finished this episode, idk anything past episode 3. I really hope they're not making The Punisher into a blue lives matter character, and the show runners are providing social commentary about police IRL who idolize The Punisher (because of the cool logo) without any understanding of the character.

 

I've recently switched to Thunder from Sync, but am surprised that there's not an option to resize tall images to the display size. When opening an image in full screen, it does this, but not in the feed or when opening a post. Basically this would be an option in between card view and full height imagea, for images which are taller than the display window.

This is an egregious example, but this post takes up so much of the feed when full height images is set. Also, I'm not sure about most instances, but they seem to resize the thumbnail aggressively on tall posts, so even if full height images without resizing is your preference, the quality looks terrible anyway, and you're forced to click into the post to see the full size image.

Anyway, maybe I'm missing some settings, but this behavior seems like something someone else would have wanted, but I don't see it as a setting.

 
 

Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

 
 
 

I didn't realize this was the season finale before watching and was mostly confused that was it after tonight's episode. Seems like they started more loose ends in that one episode, maybe in hope of another season, but it felt like it could have used an episode or two more to set that up better. Spoilers below:

The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion Spoilers

  • I kept expecting the Green Jedi woman to ultimately be behind the destruction of the witches fortress. It still doesn't make sense that the stone structure could sustain so much damage from some paper burning. Maybe bad editing or something in the previous episodes, but seems like there's still a side of a story being withheld.
  • Reveal of Yoda (or yaddle before growing hair!) and who I assume is Plagueis was underwhelming. Either could have been omitted without issue. If they were going for fan service, focus on one. If it is Plagueis, does the timeline even make sense??
  • Honestly, I wish there were more episodes with the Lesbian Witch Cult which weren't all flashbacks. That conflict with the Jedi was interesting (for the two days it happened in universe) and could have explored more of that side of the force before it was killed off. I guess I'm in the minority based on the backlash that received.
  • Kung fu and lightsaber battles were pretty good. Is this the first time in live action a jedi has turned off a lightsaber mid fight? I think out of everything, the choreography was the strongest aspect of the series.

What'd everyone else think?
