So back when the neuromuscular issues left me pretty unstable one of my tricks was if you can lean the top of your lower leg into something you can offload a lot of weight onto it, and I have a sense I picked this up from an Ayn Rand rant about Roman marble statues copying Greek bronzes?
Hey there was a movie, in the last two years, and it was a woman looking back on the sexual relationship with her track coach’s husband she had in high school, and part of it was the flashback scenes had one actress and then in the modern day timeline the character’s mother was like “oh no that was several years later” and from then on the “then” one was played by an actress distinctly younger, and there were bits with “then” screaming at “now” about how repugnant she was for growing up to be one of THEM who wanted to control her, and can anyone remind me what this movie is?
Yeah, that’s it, Laura Dern was Now and I am old enough I underestimate how long ago things were.
Was just thinking about how I’m not sure I’d ever be able to untangle her from my memory of her Jurassic Park character when I realized I have no clue what that character’s name is and think of her as “Laura Dern”

It just occurred to me: of all the video games series, I think Mario is the one that the greatest amount of human intellectual effort has been spent on. In general Mario seems to dominate the speedrunning and challenge-running communities (stuff like the SM64 A-button challenge), and the amount of thought and effort that has gone into understanding how these games work and playing them optimally with respect to certain objectives is just astounding. And then on top of that there’s SMW romhacking. I don’t know, it’s possible more time and effort has been spent on some kind of esports game (Starcraft?), but I’m not sure. Mario is definitely among the top contenders. And as someone who is, you know, something of a Mario fan and also something of a human ingenuity fan, this makes me really happy. Mario is, frankly, Serious Business these days. And I think that’s cool.

Anyway this is important to me because my whole childhood I wanted to have grown up as a 70s-style catamite and hated the 80s “family values”, “let’s stop the ~pedophiles~” stuff so I expect it to be meaningful to me

Actually good point, is “SVU” the police (“Order”) unit and the prosecutors (“Law”) are “Sex Crimes”? Then doesn’t the title after the colon undermine the premise of the part before?
I’m pretty sure “Law and Order” referring to the two halves of the episode is only a thing in the original, otherwise it’s just the franchise name. SVU and Criminal Intent only had the attorneys show up occasionally, and they’re the only two (US) spinoffs that lasted more than a season.
So they just worked the case and… was it at least implied that the suspects they were pursuing were convicted as the real perps?
yyyyes? Most episodes end with the arrest, if someone got arrested before X:55 then something was up (wrong guy, legal shenanigans, etc). Have you never watched episodes of SVU or CI?
No, I went to college in the early 2000s in a hilly area where we got terrible reception so I fell out of the habit of watching TV
Also I bring this up because those shelves of leather-bound books “Sex Crimes” girl is standing in front of are lawyer-coded as hell
“Guys be sending dick pics”, bitch as if between Omegle, Snapchat, and Reddit we can still pretend “welp I’m bored, time to get on the internet and show strangers my genitals” is a male-specific thing
Facebook friend has been posting stuff developing his street skating as he travels around to American skate parks and I’m commenting on a Mendocino vid where he talks about turning nosegrinds into nose manuals “Love that in 2023 there are still THPS cosplayers”
Yeah whoever just replied on this that’s not happening rn, replies are down, send me a message or at least anon ask

Ok so the blocked replies thing is happening to everyone then. Functional website.
The thing where you’re scrolling through hours of dash and suddenly it jumps you like an hour forward or back and looking back over it there are posts in the mix you didn’t see first time from people you followed all along… everyone getting that too?
this is like the dumbest thing in the world to write about a 24 yo with zero children who set out on a ridiculously dangerous expedition to record animal behaviour in the wild
A thing it bears pointing out in the context of a young woman living with gorillas, as a culturally memorable thing preceding a general “see women can be agents in the world too” era, is that at the time gorillas were widely believed to rape human women.
(We now know this to be mistaken! A lot of what the public knows about gorillas comes through Jane Goodall.)
Level 1:The Phantom Menace is the first Star Wars film because it’s chronologically the earliest.
Level 2:The Phantom Menace is the fourth Star Wars film because it was made after the original trilogy.
Level 3:The Phantom Menace is the sixth Star Wars film because, in addition to the original trilogy, The Ewok Adventure (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle For Endor (1985) also precede it in production order.
Level 4:The Phantom Menace is the seventh Star Wars film because in this household we acknowledge the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Who the fuck recognizes the holiday special but not the Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour?
