Where are The Last Jedi nerds who obsessed over the accuracy of military strategy with magic light speed travel and magnetic bombs in the space wizard movie on this terrible movie they all love?
Interstellar spends its entire first act proving that escaping Earth's gravity requires a massive multi stage rocket and millions of pounds of rocket fuel.
Yet the moment the crew lands on Miller's Planet with 130 percent of Earth's gravity, their tiny Ranger shuttle takes off into orbit with zero external thrusters.
A planet with significantly stronger gravitational pull logically demands far more thrust and mass to escape than Earth ever did.
Nolan built an entire press campaign around rigorous hard science while quietly relying on space magic propulsion to save the pacing.

I’m really not looking forward to the next era of Obama 2 retrofuturism & nostalgia— when it goes from fruitiger aero to corporate memphis in the post-y2k pipeline. It’s bound to happen to. The 2028 recession will spawn “chill wave revival” & we will be almost there again.
This is just like what you were talking about Obama 2. During Obama 1 the defining sentiment was that we can just say “everything’s great” and if we just believe it hard enough it will manifest. This is the essence of Obama era optimism. Think parks and rec and stomp-clap music. We’re just doing “positive sentiments” idealism again I. The form of the “authentic lie” vs “bad faith truth”
GTA VI is four weeks away and all we’ve seen is basically indescribable from GTA V with mods. Combined with all games basically being open source with AI, I’m shorting my GTA cultural value stock.
I think this might bomb.
Made a cozy game with no experience at all in under two hours using godot MCP, three click throwing mechanic football game in under two hours. It’s like Mario golf mechanics for football QBs in a cozy fall high school sports setting.

One of the funniest things about the Shane Gillis situation is he’s clearly trying to get in shape, but in a Larry David-esque turn of events, he basically can’t go to a gym without being tarred and feathered anymore.
Did we all time travel back to 2018? Why are These Types of Guys (tm) back on my timeline? What is happening? Have they ever talked to a heterosexual man before? Do they have any male friends? Why do they all talk like your 3rd grade teacher scolding you for not doing homework?
Every one of these proves Rain Johnson was correct in TLJ.

He takes the lightsaber in wonder. Trains Rey in the ways of the force, starts a New Jedi Order. Dies in the 3rd movie like a boss saving everyone, Rey and Ben have to fight after it's revealed they are brother and sister or cousins or something. Ben kills Rey and comes back to the light and takes over the Jedi Academy.
“Less than a week ago, on September 18, Trump was quoted as responding with "I don't know about that. I think--I think we're repressive also," when pressed on the alleged "repression" of the Chinese Government. What has replaced this is a combination of cynical realism, desperation and genuine confusion on Washington's part. In contrast to the foreign policy resolve of the U.S. Government during its Cold War with the Soviet Union, American elites and top experts genuinely struggle to understand China. The great historical irony of how the U.S.-led unipolar system itself materially and organically facilitated the ascendency and great rejuvenation of China has had an immensely confounding effect on senior U.S. ideologists and policymakers”

The Europeans can say “well at least we don’t have Trump” & feel smug about that, meanwhile all their leaders have to fellate Trump in private anyway.
These retarded nerds are giving us the male version of the Lindsey Clancy trial.

Spygate was the patriots recording signals (legal) from the wrong party of the stadium (illegal). It was made illegal unilaterally by the commissioner after the competition committee had adjourned for the season. Bill was challenging Goodells authority to make rules.
Brady fans & Patriots fans always talk about the cheating allegations being overblown. Deflategate is whatever, but SPYGATE was 1000% legit.
It should be talked about WAY MORE, especially when ranking Brady & Belichick all-time.
The Pats had an entire system for cheating set up. Ernie Adams was a huge culprit. Among other things, they used to send videographers (in disguise) to tape opponent's signals. Insane stuff.
Don't even try to tell me it didn't matter. Clearly the Patriots benefited from it or else they wouldn't have kept doing it.

No great qb has gotten less flak for an awful game than Rodgers in ‘14. If Brady had lost that game it would have taken him out of the GOAT conversation even with 6 rings.
