holy hell I cannot wait to see sinners. between the scorching hot music and michael b jordan being a master of craft idk how anyone is making out of this movie alive.
jacob elordi continues to prove himself capable of being a multi-layered psycho // not a hero (george clooney, ryan gosling) not a villain (guy pearce) not quite desperately charismatic enough to be an anti-hero (tom hardy, fassbender, cillian murphy) you can’t ever quite tell where he stands or where you stand in relation to how you feel about him. will be interesting to see how he evolves.
btw let’s see who can play them all:
christian bale, robert deniro, al pacino, javier bardem, anthony hopkins, russell crowe— very few actors can play a true villain, even fewer who can play anything else.

Oh. mygod.
I am unwell! Countdown to finale of my roman empire is on. And by finale I mean, yes, I have read the books and listened to them via audio countless times but to see Jenny Han bring it to life with unlimited resources, music, and perfect casting is transcendant.

I just have so many questions about how Margot Robbie is meant to be playing an 18-25 ish year old Cathy who is the same age as Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff on the upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
CBDCs are offensive weapon NUMBER ONE of a modern totalitarian state. More of a threat than centralized AI and advanced facial recognition combined.
They represent total surveillance and control. So I’m not really sure why people think they could be “neat” or whatever based on like speeding up financial processing or whatever.

Perhaps another stupid/newb question but: A CBDC basically demolishes the use case of stablecoins, right? I understand that current Trump policy has buoyed people's hopes of throwing CBDCs into the ash heap of history, but highly contentious and partisan-aligned policies are not very, uh, stable nowadays. I can easily see this seesawing between administrations. And in the event of a financial crisis? Forget about it. I think the opening for monetary innovation in that event would put CBDCs squarely back on the table.
anyone who doesn’t think trump is planning to stay and rule like an autocrat needs an education.
Tom Hardy met his wife Charlotte Riley filming the (incredible) PBS Masterpiece version of Wuthering Heights.
This means there is in fact a world where Heathcliff ends up with Cathy, and I just thought everyone should know. ❤️🔥

house of david season finale was so powerful. the director understands the real story. he isn’t treating it like an ancient epic but rather a parable that lives in real time in each of us.
if someone were to ask is your personality a fully subscribed house of david meets an alarmingly oversubscribed the summer i turned pretty mixed with a condescending but committed fast forward through WL I’d say yes, ser you are correct.
so what exactly is vibe coding? and how good do you actually have to be at coding to do it well? seems kind of analogous to the fact that an editor has to be a great writer.

the definition of a great marriage is that each person thinks they got the better deal.

I felt the democrats heavily fucked up the fabric of society with their cocktail of lethargic woke authoritarianism — LA fires are a good case in point. And that the pendulum had swung too far towards spending and over- regulation so a correction was due. I still think he will decide to turn the economy for credit and his bags, and that he will find it too hard to advance his family interest outside of keeping markets free.
The biggest concern to me is his innate desire to rule as a dictator, which he is trying to do and almost has the political will to accomplish. But I have faith that the free markets he and his advisors end up serving out of self interest will keep him in check.

We need to break this cultural norm of encouraging people to up-level seasonally or at the new year, for an event or wedding.
Coco Chanel said dress everyday like you’re going to meet your worst enemy and we should encourage everyone to fuck heavy with this energy instead. Your life is the event.

praxis will be brokering ukrainian minerals to gaza to oversee the construction of the newly approved trump hotel. the lobby will feature a fountain made from trump steel, which is like reardon steel except instead of 10 years of innovation, is actually just something trump created via executive order by combining reclaimed american steel with random minerals from ukraine.
in exchange for completing the project with doge like efficiency, praxis members will receive discounted access to trump gaza facilities and club med services.
praxis will also receive the right to use whatever remains from the austerity budget to construct its own Nation State nearby provided that trump family, 12 generations twice removed, is granted an easement in perpetuity to access every acre of beachfront property that it may own.

I didn’t sense narcissism. I got: like the greats, I live in my uncapped desire for greatness, which is why i’m in the running.
everything is downstream of desire. to know that such you can elect to move quietly with it is a privilege.
i appreciate him risking being uncool to expose the game and dispel the myth that you can just chillski stumble up onto that stage.
what would anyone gain by his sanitized humility? when he owns it, it inspires other people to commit to those reps and do the same.

what’s not funny is normalizing support for Hamas like it is a legitimate governing body on the other side of the table, instead of cancer.
levity in the face of destruction is spiritual strength. the idea of Gaza turning into some french riviera type destination with a Trump hotel is objectively just funny.

i had written off the brigitte macron story but then the reaction was everywhere so i begrudgingly checked it out. mostly just to confirm that it was pizza gate driven political slop before heading along.
well dear reader that is not what happened. questions remain, but i’m 98% sure it’s true. it is so interesting to watch the X media culture unravel decades if not centuries of shady political norms.
who has thoughts?

I prefer elegant and untraceable crimes that discredit an illegitimate state rather than destroy my fellow citizens.

happy valentine’s day to everyone, except anyone who tried to ship obama and jennifer aniston.
there is nothing more real than the fact that you have a soul, which shares an energetic root with others — including some more direct that it was split from when you were born. your soulmates.
these relationships aren’t about sailing into the sunset. they are about being challenged to grow by someone who understands your potential. they are about recognizing the unique capacity of the other person to unveil your greatness and surrendering to the vulnerability of that process.

where are people talking about hyperliquid? this is a fascinating convo imo.
the UI is unreal- best product I’ve touched in defi. like it makes me want to trade just to use it.
but is it defi? there are like 16 validators. the arbitrum bridge feels dicey af. once I waited 30 min for funds (arb to base) and imagined if it was 6-7 figs and was like wow this is fucking treacherous. I kind of just threw my hands up to God and was like ok, RIP money. Enough to deter me from trading above a certain psych threshold on HL for sure.
I see the value growing for those who use it, increasing marginal adoption. What I don’t see is how it brings over CEX users, either casual or (especially) high vol traders. This makes me question the overall value of the trade. Someone smarter shill me the counterpoints, please!

I do wonder if drake is ok. I’d also like to know how this beef started. because at face value, kendrick demolishing drake feels like a grown man dunking on a child.
but if drake truly rolled up to draw blood with his knife, and kendrick had to school him on the terms of a gun fight then ok — all’s fair in self-defense. i like kendrick too much to think of him as a bully so this is what I’m hoping happened.

here with more silo updates. i’ve been unable to keep reading the books. my clausterophobia is drawing a hard line and I have no desire to spend my precious free time wrapped in a semi-plausible story of how these people get trapped underground. 💀
conversely, the show is one of the best I watched all year, and I keep wanting more episodes.
I am such a book girly so this is a curious experience. It might be that with sci-fi, a novel makes it too dark, but a show feels more sensational. it
maybe book 2 is just darker. Regardless, an interesting testament to the differences between reading and viewing.

but for as good as the writing and production is, rebecca ferguson and tim robinson carry it. they both give it the culmination of a lifetime’s work and it is extraordinary to see in motion in the context of such a strong vehicle.
