Yep, we already beat that dead IP into the ground, so let's do it for another one!

Macnas is a performing arts group that had staged Halloween parades in Dublin since 2013. The COVID-19 pandemic stopped those parades until last year, but the group had not scheduled one in 2024.

That seems like a pretty f-ing important detail. The rest of the article and headline makes it look like a bunch of people showed up because of some random parade announcement, instead of people who were expecting an annual event and got some details from the wrong source.

So, you're endorsing Trump?

Shitty tech opinions were flooding Medium before, so it's not much of a difference.

We have a company that sends us fake phishing attacks every month, logs who clicks on the bad link, and publishes the results of the survey to the CTO.

Seems like a position as important as MP should have something similar set up for their governmental email accounts.

for exemple by letting in immigrant, allowing schools (provincially controlled, not in Trudeau’s jurisdiction) to support trans kids

I swear, the conservative talking points are the same stupid bullshit the world over.

Well, it's more like a stopped watch sort of thing. Konami has lost its way ever since it cared more about pachinko machines than actual video games.

No, you can blame the non-voters. The ones who thought it was great idea to get pissy about one issue and stay home. Or "both sides" their way into an idiotic stance.

And in 2026, you can also blame the non-voters. The ones who elected Kamala president, but are too stupid to understand that voting is an annual process, and Kamala isn't a fucking queen that can enact anything she wants without the support of a democratically-elected Congress.

Vote twice a year, every year. Every. Fucking. Time. Why is that so hard to understand?

EDIT: All of you people bitching about the war in Gaza should stop and think about what would happen to Gaza if Trump got elected. You have two choices, and staying at home just forces one of those two choices for you.

The last great TV series I watched was Mr Robot, and that started in 2015, by a cable studio.

Now, I've seen plenty of good potential streaming series that have a first season, like Arcane and Severance. But, the odds of them having some sort of beginning, middle, and ending are damn near zero. How can you have any sort of series when they want to spend something like five years between seasons?

Hell, even The Expanse, which started out as a cable series, got picked up by Amazon, and they decided to just shitcan the series because they wanted to spend a billion dollars on their LotR boondoggle. They had a pretty good run, but it deserved better.

It doesn't matter. Your audio receiver will know which one is it and decode it.

A good director will know how to use music to its full advantage to elevate a scene. How could you watch the Interstellar docking scene without Hans' No Time for Caution? Or major chunks of Dune without the soundtrack?

But, audio ducking the music to make sure the narration is understandable is just as important. Lay on the music when there isn't dialogue, and bring it down when it's time to listen to the narration.

Then you watch all the “greatest” TV shows: Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, Freaks and Geeks, Gilmore Girls, Star Trek, Madmen which are filled with these huge, scenery-chewing performances.

What do all of those shows have in common? They were all made at least ten years ago by cable studios that actually knew what the fuck they were doing. Today's Hollywood is mostly a dumpster fire of bad writers, bad directors, bad writers, actors that have their hands tied by the rest of the crew, terrible terrible writers, and producers who are so far removed from reality that they don't even understand what makes a film great.

 

Disclaimer: I'm obviously not try to pretend this is a good movie, but it is a pretty good review of the hypocrisy at play here, and this channel could use some more views. Everybody point and laugh.
