Statuses

Software and websites are just getting too complex and brittle. Everything is cracking at the seams, you can feel it.

Ok it’s time for Train to Busan tonight, I’m tired of being disappointed

A movie immediately drops in my estimation if a ghost smiles and cocks its head

‘Cause I’m the Tears of Kingdom Linking

It’s really kind of disappointing that, the way the digital media renting/ownership balance worked out, you can’t currently just buy a bundle of Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes on iTunes.

You’d have to figure out which streaming service it’s currently on, then manually scroll through entire seasons of episodes till you find them.

This seems like a step backwards from what we had two decades ago.

I think I’m gonna watch Oculus tonight. I don’t know why, but I’ve always gotten this feeling that I’ll just be lukewarm on it.

I know there’s no shortage of “watch this person play a video game theme on an instrument” videos, but this remains one of my favorite things on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9IkpUYlOx8

Think I’m gonna watch Tenebrae for the first time tonight

One of my favorite radio shows, celebrating 40 years on #WMBR https://www.wbur.org/news/2024/10/18/for-your-pleasure-rene-marchando-wmbr

Think I might watch this tonight https://letterboxd.com/film/the-outwaters/

Can I get a “why is my phone hot” app

This is so minor, but something I haven’t heard pointed out is how weird it is the way Trump thinks of theses “levels” of psychiatric hospitals:

“Many are coming in from jails and prisons and mental institutions, insane asylums. That’s like, you know, step above, right? Insane asylum.”

He commonly does this; he’ll make a point of saying that people are coming from *both* “mental institutions” *and* “insane asylums,” and *then he will add* that the latter is “worse.”

It’s so bizarre!

Does a link become trending on #Mastodon if only *one* account posts it, but hundreds of others boost it?

Mastodon 4.3 has changed the mobile search/explore icon from a hash mark/octothorpe to a compass. Still awful.

Stop trying to cram search and “explore” into the same thing. Search should be represented by a magnifying glass, I don’t make the rules.

Baffling to me that the #plushtodon is pale yellow instead of indigo

Drama aside, “Secure Custom Fields” is a terrible name. It implies the native custom fields aren’t secure and that this plugin’s main purpose is making them secure. #WordPress

A movie I don’t hear people talk about enough is Deerskin https://letterboxd.com/film/deerskin/

“Body horror” is when the body *itself* is frightening, not what is being done to it

Is there an app that lets me browse my Apple Music library by record label?

(Not interested in non-Apple Music-based solutions.)

Me, owning both fake plants and real plants: “He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us.”
