Just finished watching it. Not bad, TV-movie-quality but a straightforward script.
Besides Richard “Shaft” Roundtree and Sam “needs no introduction” Raimi, the actual ex-boxer who “Raging Bull” was based on, Jake LaMotta, plays a Detective.
I watched it on Tubi… currently ad-free with uBlock Origin adblocker (on Firefox, at least…)
Sorry to hear that, fam. I hope it got better eventually.
So there must have been one day on which the Tethys Ocean was suddenly no more, right? I looked at the wikipedia page and it wasn’t clear.
Mondrian’s work had an enormous influence on 20th-century art, influencing not only the course of abstract painting and numerous major styles and art movements (e.g. Color Field painting, Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism), but also fields outside the domain of painting, such as design, architecture and fashion. Design historian Stephen Bayley said: “Mondrian has come to mean Modernism. His name and his work sum up the High Modernist ideal. I don’t like the word ‘iconic’, so let’s say that he’s become totemic – a totem for everything Modernism set out to be.”

Sergio@lemmy.worldtoLemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC RedditEnglish3·20 days agoWell let’s see… first we gotta figure out the analogy:
- carriers = posts promoting a product
- carrier escorts = posts commenting on and upvoting the “carrier” post
- torpedos/dive-bombs = bot-delivered replies that disparage “carrier” posts. They “hit” if they get highly upvoted
- fighters = bots that downvote carrier-fleet posts and upvote torpedo/dive-bomb replies
- carrier “screen” fighters = bots that post attacks on enemy fighters and munitions
- carrier AA fire = bots that downvote attacks by enemy fighter bots
The analogy is still a little clumsy… are “carriers” posts, or are they the bots that make the posts? etc. But a Midway-like battle would involve a modest but strategically-positioned product-promoting community that is about to be surprised-attacked by a rival, who will make several posts disparaging the product. But the attack is identified through corporate espionage. The posts are hard to find, so the “fighters” have to search for them but ultimately they do, and after fierce up- and down-voting, the attacking posts are deeply downvoted.
I read somewhere that there are actually two types of fiber, and they have different effects, but most food is only ever labelled “fiber” so idk.
something something bottled water left in the sun something microplastics.

ur gonna give birth to a meme.
Businesses wouldn’t offer free self-defense classes – liability! They’d just put up a ribbon in tribute of all the fallen babies. Maybe they’d sell ribbons too, so you can honor the babies.

I like the use of the term “fleet” in this context, bc it brings to mind the Battle of Midway but re-done with bots online.
Inform us, o wise one. er, I mean…

Sounds like you were summoned by ouija board.
