After losing his Smaug level compensation from Tesla in a Delaware court, Elmo held an X poll on whether Tesla should relocate to Texas, and 80% of his deranged cult voted yes. So now he’s bringing it to the board, expecting to be able to rip the publically traded corporation off again

Anyway, here are the Death Grips

This is Arne Sucksdorff, 1917-2001, a pioneer of the further development of nature docus from the 40s, in the tradition that eventually led to Sir David Attenborough films now

In the 30s he studied theatre in Berlin where he recognized the threat of Hitler early

At an NSDAP manifestation they passed near his boarding house, so Arne, a skilled marksman since childhood, grabbed a rifle and took aim with a clear line of fire

But he feared for the fate of the family he lived with and stood down

Speaking of obscene prices. I saw an estimate that tomorrow’s electricity price here will be about 90¢ per kwh.

For reference that means that charging a model s here will set you back the equivalent of about $90

Hans Käse didn’t wash his hands properly in the restroom and when he came back, Hitler had taken his seat. Learn from Hans. Don’t let Hitler take your seat at the table. Wash your hands.

The onboard computers on Tesla #Cybertrucks were accidentally given a compromised firmware that will hack your id credentials and vote for Joe Biden this november. The only way to stop it is to set fire to the inside of the truck and let it burn out.

#Frenchies on mastodon - in relation to #camus’ l’etranger, what is the semantic difference between maman and mère?

Does it translate at all to English?

Edit: Apparently the most recent translation uses the french word maman, and there is an article in the new yorker on the subtleties

If you see a post in Swedish mentioning a dog do not give in to the temptation to go SQUEEE SHARE PICTURES! In Swedish dog means died.

During #2023 I read “superhero fatigue” ad nauseam as a cause for #MCU films performing increasingly bad with audiences

So I rewatched them, Iron Man to Thor Love and Thunder

My personal takeaway was that most of the early ones are still highly enjoyable

My problem with every film after Eternals is that they are impersonal statements with badly composed stories where I saw nothing to get invested in. That’s not fatigue, but executive decisions

T:L&T is also badly directed and weirdly edited

Catch-22, mini series, 2019

I haven’t read the novel, so I don’t know if they changed the story or characters, but as it is, this is the best show I’ve seen in a long time

It was written in the 50s, published in 61, so I guess the brutal absurdism that runs consistently through it is faithful

Not only does that feel genuine, it feels fresh and unusual too. And the balance between overt and situational laughs, the dark absurdism, and the shocking visceral grotesqueries is precision work 👌🏻
