  • Those mass deportations are going to take a lot of money and time.

    They’ll probably end up turning their massive holding facilities into work camps, maybe hang signs up with catchy slogans like “Trabajo te hace libre” or “El trabajo libera” and forbid any unfriendly reporters from seeing how the sausage is made.










  • Oddly enough, it’s not even that far off from what really happened:

    What happened was that director Peter Jackson was watching Noble munch on these delicacies as part of his rehearsals, and for the sake of continuity, Noble had to make sure that there’s a sort of rhythm to the way he ate the food. Jackson got notably excited with the cherry tomato bit, and that was how the scene made its appearance.

    “So I’m sitting there thinking, ‘ok…with this food I’m going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…1, 2, 3, 4, 5…’, so I could repeat it, the timing would be perfect. Jackson must’ve been watching through the monitors and he saw me squirt something out of the side of my mouth. He got terribly excited! He ran on to the set and said, ‘mate, what you just did there?” ” What was that, mate?” “When you squirted…can you do that?’ I said ‘yes’. ‘Can you go like hmff?’ I go, ‘yes’. He got terribly excited and waddled away again. That’s how that actually came about, because he was watching me rehearse to try and get my continuity right,” said Noble.

    I mean, there is still kind of a point being made with respect to monetization of social media… something which is insanely controversial on Mastodon.

    Bring up something more minor like showing ads to cover server costs and it’s like tossing a grenade in and shutting the door.








  • Swarms of bugs make it a lot less enjoyable, at least for me. There’s nothing like seeing someone’s back entirely covered in mosquito bites just because it rained a couple days earlier. I’ve read it’s only expected to get worse with the progression of climate change, especially when it comes to invasive species.

    I guess there’s DEET and permethrin, but I don’t feel great about having to use those.
