Wow, those colors are incredible.

The budget constraints on these Indie movies can often make the team behind them get incredibly creative in their filmmaking. While I think that has been beneficial and exciting in a lot of movies, it must be terribly restrictive to directors and the other creatives who have to jump through so many hoops to get films made. I think ultimately, it just means that costs will get cut in places that no one wants to see. That is a shame. I wish there was room for more mid budget movies to let these great directors have more room to breathe financially. That way the crew and cast are not limited and getting paid the bare minimum.
I am sure it will suddenly be too expensive for them to safely decommission the platforms.
Exactly. She is enjoying a meteoric rise to super stardom right now, and I feel like her insistance on using her voice and not just falling in line is meaningful. These candidates don’t really need more famous names coming out in support at this point. We have plenty of celebrities championing Harris and reminding everyone to vote. I don’t know what fan of Chappell Roen would suddenly decide to register and vote in the election at this point. You either care about who you are voting for by now or your head is buried in the sand.
Roan’s conservative critics are a lost cause—she was never going to win them over, not by dressing up as the Statue of Liberty at this summer’s Gov Ball in New York, smoking a giant fake joint, and screaming about how she had no plans to accept an invitation to the White House. But now, there are plenty of Harris voters and liberals who are angry with her perfectly reasonable but slightly wrinkled position that no government, right now, deserves her loud championship.
There is the crux of it. This is also probably why I found this post downvoted. Anyone pointing out the “both sides bad” argument isn’t very popular on Lemmy.
Hopefully Harris wins this so we can permit a more nuanced discussion of the government and how it is run. Rather than shouting down anything that might remotely strengthen Trump.
Hell yeah! Tim Roth iis awesome. Such a good addition to a dramatic cast.
I had no idea she wrote a book. I love her humor, though! Will add it to my reading list!
We do not want that. We do not want a protector. We want our rights to be upheld and not jeopardized by making them a State’s Rights Issue where they can be dismissed or “protected” by stupid little men like him.
My favorite easy fiction that helps me unwind is Agatha Christie mysteries. There is a reason she is the greatest mystery ŵritwr of all time. She sets up compelling situations and makes her way to a damn satisfying conclusion by the end.
A few of her shorter but still excellent stories: The Secret Adversary N or M The Unexpected Guest 3 Blind Mice Halloween Party Murder of Roger Akcroyd
Also if you like Mysteries I have to plug my all time favorite: 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
It is a great mystery in which the protagonist wakes up with no memories and has 8 chances to solve a murder.
The people I have chosen to spend my days with. My spouse, my child, a few friends. And also daydreaming about vacation…specifically vacationing with all of those people. That would be incredible.
That’s a very good point I didn’t rhink about.
I never thought about how uncommon the tide was at Mont St Michelle. It is famous for becoming an island at high tide. I just assumed all tides along that coast were dramatic. But it seems to be exclusive to that bay.
Did not know what to expect when I read the headline, and it used the term scratched. Then, the statement goes on to say a box cutter was used. What the fuck.
“The timeline is always being adjusted, through the work of archaeologists. To quote a now famous Hancockism, “stuff just keeps getting older.” Yes, and it’s archaeologists that you have to thank for that. Stuff keeps getting older because we keep looking for it, and because we keep analyzing it, in the plain light of day, not in somber academic conclaves where we decide what should and shouldn’t be revealed to the huddled masses, presumably living in fear of the next apocalypse.”
Hancock is hijacking peoples attention and funding. The money that went into making this season would have been much better allocated to various archeological digs. That way, more actual work and analysis could be done as opposed to Hancock’s tenuous theorizing. Archeology is always evolving, that doesn’t mean big archeology is lying to you. It just means they are presenting the most logical evidence they have at the time, and when new (well documented and analyzed) information comes along that changes.
Won’t the corporations just raise their prices to make up for the tax? Not trying to be a party pooper, but these businesses have entire offices full of people whose job it is to ensure they continuously turn a profit. Every action taken by state and local government is immediately reacted to by the corporate world, and then the state is by its nature slow to respond to the new input.
It’s almost like we have let capitalism go wildly out of control.
Those meddling Google Debunkers!
The belief in the existence of a super-race (or whatever term Hancock uses) is dubious. While the idea on its own may seem harmless, it opens the door for racist idealogies. Everything has to be taken in context, and crackpot archeologists have been making this argument for ages in order to justify later arguments for eugenics.
I know it may appear that Hancock questioning the established historians and “big archeology” is above suspicion, but it is done in an unambiguously dishonest way. He refuses to acknowledge sound logical arguments put forth by multiple well-respected sources and hand waves things away as common sense. Essentially, he is frustrating because his arguments muddy the waters of logical discussions and introduce doubt in a community that certainly does not get paid enough for this shit.
I was torn between the use of misinformation and disinformation. And comments on Lemmy are often speaking into a void, so I honestly did not think it would matter. I appreciate the clarification and agree that misinformation is more appropriate. But agree that falling for misinformation leads to disinformation.
This is the danger of celebrity endorsement. It will bring so much more attention to an unworthy ‘cause’, and so many fans will now absorb this information without critical thought. It is truly a situation where a well-intentioned person does not know enough to understand that this supposed expert is talking nonsense and the world at large slips that much further into disinformation.
I would love to see some examples of writing if you are willing to share. I have not used any of the pens you have mentioned, but I absolutely love taking notes in small and well organized spaces. Although I settle for pens that are probably not as fine.
