"I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler."

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

I wrote on Boing Boing about the Barbie movie's strange promotion of China's expansive territorial claims.

Found an incredibly useful app for finding people to follow on Mastodon. It crawls your social graph then finds the people who your followers follow the most that you don't follow.

John Cusack is tweeting out some of the dirty secrets of Hollywood accounting -- and it's pretty illuminating.

If you’d like to help the WGA writers DIRECTLY, FINANCIALLY, after reading the quotes in Deadline from studio/streamer execs about how they won’t talk to them until at least October, want them to start losing their apartments and homes, and want their kids to have a lousy Christmas:

there’s an option for that HERE on their website near the bottom. It even lets you specify which type of writers you wish to support and it’s tax deductible.

Note: there’s people who like to use Unicode math subscript to add “fonts” to their posts.
I’d like to ask people here to avoid doing that as depending on the screen reader it won’t be read because of missing math context; or it will be read as a string of Unicode identifiers.

Hearing a long string of something like “mathematical lower case cursive letter u mathematical lower case cursive letter w mathematical lower case cursive letter u” for your fancy flavour text is not fun for people who need screen readers due to impaired vision, learning disabilities or who are blind.

@riquisimo @jrdepriest @florenciocano https://danielmiessler.com/p/red-blue-purple-teams/ gives a good overview

One nice thing about rate limiting is that this tweet saved 8 people from looking at twitter for the rest of the day, *and* I made money doing it

Burns: Well, everybody knows, ‘war is hell`

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Um, sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them – little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
