Two modern snowboarding movie recommendations: The Eternal Beauty of Snowboarding (2016) and Scandalnavians 2 (2020).
Back in the VHS days, my favorite snowboarding movie was Project 6 (1993), not least because of the music; it was the first time I heard Tool.

Beethoven’s 5th Symphony’s opening BA-BA-BA-BAA is supposedly ”fate knocking at the door”, but to me it sounds like the composer is just clearing his throat.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

I'm 48 years old today. What am I doing with my life? Nothing much, I answer. At this rate, I'm going to do nothing much for the next ~20 years, then retire, and continue to do nothing much.
I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do best is nothing much.

The most distracting thing about reading (good) fiction is when the story keeps missing obvious triggers into (in my opinion) even more interesting character interactions and my mind keeps trying to write fanfiction inserts.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"
The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

I saw a dream that felt amusing even after waking up and wrote it down, but I don't know if it want's to be a poem, or a comedy skit, or something else.

Real life Steel Ball Run across United States from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 7. The narration & sprinkled historical details reminded me of Three Days In Twin Peaks video by Take The Ring, so I guess I need to re-watch that next.

I’ve followed #OnePiece manga for decades now, so I knew that S1 of the live action would be just a long prologue (how the core crew got together) and S2 (when the overarching story kicks in) would the real decisive factor if the series actually works.
Both S1 & S2 were okay. Looking forward to S3.

Wait, there's an actual published AI slop card game about Oulu 2026 European Capital of Culture?
Not a good look for #Oulu after they were already criticized for using AI slop in their marketing.
Here's the thing: if you use AI, clearly mark it as AI so that people can make informed decisions.
