I saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (I think maybe I got that right) in the theater and had to sit in the front row because those were the only seats available. Everybody said what a beautiful movie that was but I wouldn't know. I spent the whole time reading the subtitles and seeing only the bottom 10% of the screen.

I'm re-watching Memento and I'm like "damn, I can hear what everybody is saying clearly." Clearly Nolan wasn't born deaf.

Also, I'm straight, but why didn't Guy Pearce become the hottest male actor in history?

I don't think it has gotten progressively worse, only because it couldn't.

Why bother rewriting books that nobody's going to read anyway?

Too funny.

I remember when people started using the n word

The sixteenth century?

When I was in fifth grade we had an activity one day where we made t-shirts by using transfer crayons and drawing on a special piece of paper and then ironing it onto our shirts. I was reading Heinlein's The Star Beast at the time and I drew the creature from this edition's cover for my shirt. I decided my creature was to be from the planet Venus, so I added the caption "VENEREAL POWER" to my iron-on drawing of a basically penis-shaped alien monster.

The teacher called me up to the desk and pointed to his dictionary which was open to the definition of the word "venereal" and I learned that day that it meant something other than "from Venus". Meanwhile he was looking down at the floor and shaking slightly and it was only years later that I realized he was trying his best not to burst out laughing. He let me make the t-shirt anyway, and I really wish I still had it, but t-shirts don't last 50 years.

Literally destroying old books.

It's never too late to get in shape, but 40 is a really long way from being too late to get in shape.

My body is a machine that turns articular cartilage into bone.

That didn't help Supergirl.

My school district hired a new superintendent last year. When he gave his introductory presentation, he included a bit about how AI was here to stay and we were just going to have to live with it and use it. Something that is objectively making kids dumber and the school super is completely on board with it.
