Last Notes
Seinfeld will always be the goat when it comes to sitcoms.
And… the ad hominem attacks continue.
I’d encourage you to touch grass.
I criticised a movie, and you’ve jumped immediately to an ad hominem attack.
That speaks volumes about you.
I finally watched it, and it’s as disappointing as I feared.
James Gunn's Superman is a masterclass in how to strip every ounce of wonder from an origin story without actually telling one.
We open in a world that already knows Superman. There's no discovery, no awe, no "who is this guy?" moment. The mystery is gone before frame one. And if that wasn't enough, Lois and Kent are already dating. No tension, no buildup, no will-they-won't-they.
Then we get Superman starting the film by being defeated. Not establishing his power. Not earning our belief in him. Getting beaten down. What an inspiring introduction to your hero.
But the most insulting twist? Painting Jor-El and Lara as bad people. His actual parents. The ones who sacrificed everything to save him. Gunn turned them into villains for cheap subversion. Their whole legacy was love for their son and their world, and Gunn twisted that into something sinister just for a shock a guess. That's not storytelling, that's character assassination.
And the political messaging around the word "alien" is painfully on the nose. Superman himself apparently denounces the term and declares he's "as human as anyone else." He's literally from Krypton. He's not human. That's the whole point. Forcing him to reject his own identity to make a clumsy political statement isn't progressive, it's absurd. It flattens the character into a mouthpiece.
This isn't Superman.
First time watching Starman—felt like a hidden gem. Really enjoyed it. Slow yet satisfying. A great John Carpenter flick. https://l.plex.tv/NqHnLbR9
Praying for peace for all those affected by the ColdCard fiasco. I'm so sorry this happened to you. 🙏🏻
I found my Steve Jobs coin a home.

Elon Musk just said "I'm down" to funding an Odyssey adaptation if it was filmed by Mel Gibson.

Running your own DNS server comes with great power and responsibility.
Power to protect.
Power to block.
And the power to break stuff.
How long until HDD prices return to normal - or is this the new normal? Seeing what I bought mere months ago now doubled in price is depressing.
Never heard of Ditto until now.
I’m now writing this from iOS Ditto. 👌🏻
Thank you!
Apparently my Search relay list had an issue. It had purple pages alone, so I added Damus, Primal and Nos (via noStrudle) and boom — problem fixed.
Recommended family movie! Very funny.
Has anyone seen a bug in Damus where you can’t shake the problem of some profiles remaining as the default robot even after a delete/reinstall of the app?
The profiles look fine in other clients.
Just Damus is having this issue. #asknostr
Have you seen this movie of his?
It’s a family classic already here.

+1 for The Unseen Realm, followed by Reversing Hermon and then Birthright by Timothy Alberino.
Nostr event behaviour across clients is unpredictable, sometimes diabolical.
Even a simple DM is surprisingly inconsistent. You never know if it’ll reach the recipient.
Nevertheless, I’m hopeful it’ll all come together sooner than later.
Enjoying the journey.
Looking forward to it. 🙏🏻
Costco is out of hotdogs.
What has this world come to. 👀
Very sad news. A great actor has passed.

Huge thanks to @npub1gpu…9yc8 for gifting this special Steve Jobs coin. 🙏🏻 It’s going to live in my cupboard right next to Walter’s book about him.

If you think you’re having a bad day, remember this guy.

Do you use a bookmark or dog-ear it?
Welcome to true freedom where you own your own identity and speech.
Rewatching Breaking Bad with my eldest daughters.
Its fun seeing them watch the dominoes fall as Walt’s actions wreak havoc on everyone in his orbit.
I can’t picture you playing WoW.
Maybe it’s time for a twitch stream. 😏
A little bit of Halo time. I certainly don’t have the reaction time I used to but I still have fun.

Manually charging a solar-powered security camera because the season changed and the sun no longer hits the panels long enough to maintain its charge.
Rookie mistake.
Who could've anticipated the sun's path shifting so much in a season? 🤣🫠
Landed on Arlington Road (1999)
What a great movie! Somehow I missed this one until now, but highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. 👌🏻

Work over. Kids home. Dinner in the air. Friday movie choice impending… 🤔
There’s an argument to be made that we’re already there and the black mirror device is the virus. 🙈
Is anyone going to be watching the Odyssey?
