The movie was going to be difficult to get everyone to enjoy honestly. But I do think that last scene where he's infront of all the people really is done well.

Honestly dude.. as someone who has read every single asimov book, and the entire foundation series and then read the entirety of the robot series, these books were my lord of the rings. The show is doing something different. I'm willing to wait and see how things go. I mean hari being an immortal consciousness and all is already completely different. I simply enjoy being in the world of the foundation at all.

The only real way I'll probably actually get to see something like the book in a non written way is as a 4x game a la crusader kings, or total war, or Stellaris. Heck or even as an RPG. I just don't think it's easily adaptable for TV or cinemas. For them attempting to do this and weaving in the foundations story is pretty commendable from my perspective and I hope they keep improving the story. Shame about Daneel olivaw.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: A Terry Crews Rendition

Scene 1: Snow White's Introduction

Snow White (Terry Crews) is introduced as a charismatic and strong character, loved by all animals in the forest. He's strong but gentle, charming, and not afraid to show his emotional side. He sings to the animals with a deep, booming voice, a hilarious contrast to the original character's high-pitched singing.

Snow White: (singing in deep voice) "I'm wishing, (I'm wishing) for the one I love, to find me, (to find me) today..."

Scene 2: Meeting the Huntsman

The Queen orders the Huntsman to bring back Snow White's heart. However, the Huntsman cannot bring himself to harm Snow White, who's flexing his muscles and humming a cheerful tune.

Huntsman: "I... I can't do it. Forgive me, Snow White."

Snow White: (flexing) "No worries, man. Everyone has a hard time dealing with these guns."

Scene 3: Discovering the Cottage

Upon discovering the dwarfs' cottage, Snow White starts cleaning. However, instead of the delicate tidying of the original, Terry Crews' Snow White lifts heavy furniture single-handedly and dusts with a peacock feather duster, all while maintaining a contagious cheerfulness.

Snow White: "Well, this place needs a little muscle love. Let's get to it!"

Scene 4: Meeting the Dwarfs

Snow White wins over the dwarfs with his charm and kindness. His interactions with the dwarfs are playful and endearing, unlike the traditional motherly role of the original Snow White.

Snow White: "You guys could use some protein in your diet. What do you say, tomorrow we start the day with a proper workout and a protein shake?"

Scene 5: The Poison Apple

When the Queen, disguised as an old woman, offers Snow White the poisoned apple, Snow White is hesitant but doesn't want to be rude. He takes a bite and collapses in a dramatic, comedic fashion.

Snow White: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? But just to be sure... (flexes arm)...proteins are better."

Scene 6: The Prince's Kiss

When the Prince arrives to awaken Snow White, he's taken aback by Snow White's size. However, he's determined to break the spell. The moment is played for laughs, with the Prince struggling to lean over Snow White.

Prince: "I... I've come to break the spell..."

Snow White (waking up): "Did I hit the snooze button again?"

And if anyone thinks that deaths will cause them to change their mind then you clearly didn't pay attention during the COVID era.

Nah not the ones that caused this

Here is a summary of the key points from the article:

  • Florida is considering becoming the first state to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT), a conservative-aligned alternative to the SAT and ACT, for admissions at its public universities.

  • The CLT was created in 2015 and emphasizes humanities, morality, and classical literature. It has grown popular among Christian schools and conservative groups.

  • Florida's consideration follows conflict between Gov. Ron DeSantis and the College Board over a disputed AP course. DeSantis wants alternatives to College Board products like the SAT.

  • The CLT's founder says the test counters progressive influence in education. Critics argue it focuses on outdated methods and texts.

  • Supporters worry the test's growth in red states like Florida politicizes it as a conservative exam versus the SAT as more liberal.

  • If approved in Florida, the CLT would expand its reach significantly as an alternative to the dominant SAT/ACT. But some say its overall influence is still small compared to those major tests.

It wasn't automatic. Not sure where you got that idea. But you had to get the app and then sign in using your Instagram account to set up the thread profile. They had "shadow copies" of your Instagram profiles on threads so for example you could sub to someone's profile and when they'd join threads you'd get their activities. But no it wasn't automatic.

Descendents? These motherfuckers will make US suffer. Climate change is happening much much faster than they've calculated even with their most bleak estimates.

Did everyone see this? https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/28/far-right-climate-plans-00107498

I can't wait! I hope they kill us all faster. How exciting.

FMLA is unpaid typically. Short term disability also isn't full pay I think it's 50-60%. From what I've seen, family leave is fully paid time off. So... You get fucked. Bereavement exists but most employers don't offer it nor is it required federally. Apart from that the time you get away isn't much compared to family leave. Not enough to have your fucking body recover from still born birth.
