Tempted to start a new lengthy thread of paintings I love, with a new hashtag, just to get some beauty on the TL again. The last time I did this, I kept a thread going for two years, I think?
Okay, let's start a new #MyFavoritePaintings thread, to replace my old #PaintingsILove thread! (Really hard to find a hashtag that hasn't been used a lot!)
Going to start with a bunch of random choices! (I kept all the images from my last thread.) Laura Knight - A Dark Pool - 1918. #MyFavoritePaintings Image

This is actually a fun illustration of how language is often imprecise.
For example: we say a donut has one hole, which basically acts as a tunnel through the donut, but we also dig holes in the ground, which have no other end.
Basically, before you count how many holes a straw has, you have to clearly define what a “hole” is. If you don’t, you will have an intractable argument. I’ve seen a number of endless arguments in physics that all boiled down to: what is the definition?

Now I'm invested in watching the end of "Geostorm," God help me
I'm starting to suspect this whole "Geostorm" movie is just an excuse to show a bunch of CGI disaster porn.
Every time I watch the end of one of these disaster movies I'm like "YAY! THERE ARE ONLY MILLIONS DEAD! HOORAY!"

Which is weird, because as far as I can tell nobody did anything illegal. It’s just that the redditors don’t have the same way of trying to work the market that the rich hedgers do.
Incidentally, “monitoring the situation” seems about as vague a reply as one can give. Basically, it’s “we are aware that things are happening.”
If Wall Street wasn’t populated by a lot of sociopaths, this whole thing might have caused some reflection on the “let’s get rich on other people’s misery” thing.

Decided to watch the original 1970s Westworld tonight.
Always forget how genuinely creepy Yul Brynner is in this.
Kind of fascinating that Westworld, released in 1973, uses the idea of a computer virus to explain the breakdown. The very first computer virus appeared in 1971.

Saw this shared by a friend, and gonna do it here, too, at least until I get bored...
1. Kung Fu Hustle. Tells a delightful and optimistic story, with some really wonderful nods to classic films and unexpected twists! (And really cool characters!)
2. Field of Dreams. Soooo many movies about wonderful magical events also end up stressing, essentially, "all good things must come to an end." Field of Dreams destroys that notion, and gives us an ending that makes everything that has happened before make sense.

So my D&D players have a powerful devil trapped in a shield that has been helping them through the mission in Hell. But now that the mission is near completion, the devil is demanding a deal for his release in order to continue providing his powers. 1/
The devil pointed out that, with his telepathy, he could be very annoying if they didn't agree. To demonstrate, he started singing "All-Star" and "Tubthumper."
