Stewart immediately recognizing that Insurrection was a mediocre TNG episode is very funny
Michael Pillar (head Star Trek TNG writer) published an unauthorized book about the show. There’s a great part where Patrick Stewart gets a first draft of the “Insurrection” movie script and absolutely roasts it.

For anyone who doesn't get this: Consumer RAM is expensive due to AI, which has made common electronics become more expensive. That's not enough for these companies, they're now at the point where they want YOUR RAM.
Sam Altman says its bad that everyone's personal computers are using the world's limited supply of memory chips. "It’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAMs sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization."

nvm i will no longer be tolerating prequel apologia you guys are getting way too bold. centering revenge of the sith, a mediocre film made for 12 year olds, into the culture war. all the while claiming an "obvious cinematic brilliance." you've gotta be kidding me.
the reason millenial nerds feel a compulsion to shit on the star wars prequels, despite the obvious cinematic brilliance, is they are played entirely earnest. there is no jim from the office winking at the camera, which makes them excruciating to the irony poisoned millenial mind

Why is there now a widely accepted campaign to pretend the prequels weren't hated when they came out? Even if you love them, what is there to be gained from that? You don't see fans of John Carpenter's The Thing pretending that movie was beloved when it first came out

This might be one of my all-time favourite delusional takes. It keeps compounding upon itself by invoking absurd cultural references including Richard Wagner, then enlightens us that the point is not to be well written; then puts well written in quotation marks... All-time banger
The Star Wars prequels are good for the same reason that Metropolis or Der Ring des Nibelungen are good. The characters are hammy and archetypical because the purpose is to immerse you in a vivid dreamscape of emotions and images. The point is not to be a "well-written" modern story. It's supposed to be more like Greek drama or Kabuki theater. Classic Gesamtkunstwerk of music, design, special effects, combat, romance, acrobatics, etc.

There are literally two actors who’ve said they considered suicide because of the fan backlash they personally received, and Lucas himself listed it among the reasons he was ready to sell. You were not outside my good bitch
As an older millennial that was a teenager for these movies, I do not remember anybody saying the prequels sucked at the time. That was social media revisionism by nerdy edgelords on social media 10 years later. Episode I is a masterpiece (and Empire is still my favorite)

Jake Lloyd (Anakin) and Ahmed Best (JarJar) were traumatized by the overwhelmingly negative reception of the first movie but yeah, sure, pretend we only recently invented the criticism. It's actually the idea that they're GOOD that is a recent development.

This is bizarre revisionism. The movies were panned by critics and fans were incredibly pissed, including yours truly. But oh no, it's just internet edgelords. Did internet edgelords hack Rotten Tomatoes?

The worst LLMism is “and that’s on me” — Oh is it?? Is it really?? Are you going to bear the consequences of your mistake??? I don’t think so.

A literal documentary was made about how much Star Wars fans hated the prequels. Your bubble is not reality.

one of my favorite bits of forgotten apple history is that back in 2007, a company called axiotron was literally buying macbooks, ripping out their keyboards, and rebuilding them as pen-based tablets running mac os x they called it the modbook just an incredible amount of effort to make a computer apple had absolutely no interest in making

All that fucking horseshit from that blithering dickhead Bill Shorten, all the 'never again' posturing? Labor want to shake you down just like the Coalition did, using the very laws the Coalition passed in order to perpetrate Robodebt in the first place. Sick fucking BASTARDS.

OMG the crazy bastards did it. They made a sensible Greens policy. Not a single Mamdani supermarket mentioned. Just a sensible change to our progressive taxation scheme. Of course, Labor should immediately gazump them by doing this.
The Greens are today announcing our plan to cut tax on work and put more money in people's pockets. Every Australian will have an extra $1000, paid for by the 1%. The cost-of-living crisis isn’t inevitable. We can change who pays tax and who gets relief.

Saw this on Reddit. Had no idea… due to China’s radio frequency rules, chargers for the Apple Watch are unique for their models.
