Top Gun 2 was full of CGI...

"Narrowly injuring"?

By this logic there has never been a scene of any kind in any movie that needed to be there.

That Ruth is dead is explicitly stated in the movie.

Weirdly, my brain went through those numbers as "20, 22, 5, 3, 2."

You are, in fact, wrong.

I don't understand the purpose of this.

It's unambiguous that it's not a person's actual name.

The latter. Enshittification is a specific business model, not a general term for things becoming worse.

This is not enshittification.

Streaming doesn't pay out per view, they just pay a lump sum up front to licence. If you're not already a hit, that lump sum will be low, and if millions of people stream the film it makes the studio exactly zero dollars.

What on earth is Plume?

What exactly is Threads?

How does any of this work?

I thought I had a handle on what Mastodon was, but then there was this threads thing, and Lemmy is apparently also part of the Fediverse but not Mastodon, I assume, and Threads is its own thing, and calckey and kbin exist, maybe, and I'd never heard of Plume until this post...I don't understand any of this. Reddit and Twitter are how I would generally follow this sort of happening but Mastodon and Lemmy are ghost towns I don't really understand how to use. I'm so utterly lost I don't even know where to begin with finding answers. I don't even have known unknowns, just unknown in unknowns.

I mean, yeah, an increase in talk of killing probably speaks to an unhealthy social and political environment, it's not a surprise that's happened over the last decade or two.

over the past 50 years

Oh fuck off.

My Bluesky feed is busier than my Twitter feed was when I left a couple of years ago.

Harmy's versions aren't anywhere near as good as TN1's (which have existed for years, none of this is news).

Foxtel/Kayo/Binge no longer has the rights, so I'm assuming it's on Netflix here as well. As with the move to Peacock in the US, not everything will be available immediately, they're gradually uploading the archives.

Voting third party is just not voting with extra steps.

You're watching it wrong.

I got through a bunch of them fine, then the $3.99 tripped me up.
