That should certainly be entertaining. Frankly, I'm surprised he didn't try it last time. But why the half measures? Why not just have all his political opponents shot?

I won't install Facebook Messenger because fuck Zuck and his privacy-raping software.
I'm a supertaster and hypervigilant, so all my senses are dialed up to 11. My memory is also unusually good. Also my son claims I have "Poon vision", but I'm not crazy about that idea.
Thirty-nine years ago I worked night shift during college. I'm still trying to straighten out my circadian rhythms.
It's not superhero fatigue or franchise fatigue. It's bad writing fatigue. Seriously, I don't know why Hollywood keeps choosing terrible writers for huge projects, but as long as they are doing that they are going to keep getting what they deserve.
And speaking of huge projects, from what I've heard Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny cost $295 million to make rather than 250. And that's not counting publicity and marketing, which brings it to 400 million if not more. That means they need to make at least $800 million to break even. No matter how you slice their opening weekend, they are in huge trouble. And given that Elementals and The Little Mermaid both bombed hard along with most other Disney movies of the last few years, I'd say that Disney is in serious trouble too!
On the other hand, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was rather well written, and from what I've heard it did rather well at the box office. Which is just more evidence that if you have a decently-written film the public WILL go and see it. We're just avoiding crap, that's all.
I'll go out on a limb and say that hauling poor old Harrison Ford away from his bong and forcing him at the age of 80 to make shitty movies is tantamount to elder abuse. As for The Flash, coddling wannabe cult leader and mental defective Ezra Miller was just the icing on the cake. The movie was just badly written.
Frantic last minute reshoots and rewrites are a dead giveaway that something is seriously wrong with a production. But that that is happening so often in Hollywood in the last several years is clear evidence that Hollywood itself has completely lost their way. I don't know if they can right that ship, and to be honest I don't much care. If they won't provide people with the good entertainment that they want, eventually somewhere else will. Maybe Bollywood or China.
Left like left-wing? Or something else?

Is Jerboa for Lemmy crashing for anyone else?
Is Jerboa for Lemmy crashing for anyone else?
I've been using Jerboa for Lemmy for my Beehaw account since the Migration. At first it worked fine. Then I started getting an error message about the version of Lemmy being used on the instance. But for the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately on opening:
Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone recommend an alternative app?
Thanks!
Reddit's enshittification was delayed by COVID, but it happened nonetheless.
But aren't Squabbles and Tilde both not federated, and therefore potentially subject to changes or even an IPO by the owners?

Okay, I wouldn't be here if Beehaw hadn't defederated from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I'd set up an account a few days ago, but every time I logged on here the lag was intolerable. Luckily thing
Okay, I wouldn't be here if Beehaw hadn't defederated from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I'd set up an account a few days ago, but every time I logged on here the lag was intolerable. Luckily things seem much more stable now.
It's quite a change from Beehaw - being able to create magazines, for example. I'm tempted to give that a try for my favorite tabletop RPG, since there isn't one for it yet. I also quite like this microblogging option, although I'm confused about where it actually is in the Fediverse! Am I on kbin now, or sh.itjust.works?
Anyway, although I like the relative niceness and safety of Beehaw, I'm glad to have the option of an account here, too. Truth to tell, I'm not comfortable with ANYBODY telling me that there are things I can't see. Or things I can't say, for that matter. Both of which have become common as hell on Reddit.
