That and they used to have an excellent catalog of movies. I haven't watched a full length feature film on Netflix in almost year, because all of it is such garbage. Prime Video has a better movie catalog than Netflix now. My kids ve

I see small, walled groups with vibrant and varied discussion re-emerging. I hear about new small groups/chats constantly; I'm a party to several. Discussion within is without fear of consequence, ideas are discussed objectively a

This entire post is peak boomer-meme. It's a rant because "new is bad." Heaven forbid they just stick with what they like and let everyone else churn. Their loves in native and PHP aren't going anywhere. Weird to see a &

I enjoyed Resurrections. It was the kind of lighter Matrix I was craving. IMHO No Way Home was boring and tried to do too much. I didn't enjoy the Maguire or Garfield Spiderman movies, so them being in it and old villains reappearing d
