Unfortunately, the only person on that app within a 100 miles of me is Dante from DMC, and the other stuff from the rec isn’t generalizable to other apps. Thanks for the suggestion tho

Does anyone have any good links to blogs or posts about how to use dating apps optimally? I figure someone has this stuff figured out

Finishing The Possibility of an Island, which has been mostly excellent. It’s plays with the ideas of Elementary Particles a bit less successfully, but it’s still Houellebecq and therefore still funny and romantic and sad. I’ll be officially finished with the œuvre and slightly heartbroken when I’m done.

So every alien in the US has a legal right for a stay of deportation for at least what, two days? Probably more like a few weeks? As long as they say the magic words? From first principles I’d say we should have a judge rubber stamping the deportation warrants with a chance for a public defender to object when appropriate. But I don’t see how a functional deportation process functions under a standard deportation process. How different would a ‘good’ process of deporting millions look?

Ne Zha 2 is currently the best selling movie you’ve never heard of. It’s a sequel to an animated film from 2019 which was… fine? Impressive for a first-time director with a small budget but nothing to write home about.


But Ne Zha 2 is worth writing about. To get the CW part out of the way, it was animated entirely using Chinese firms, allegedly after the director felt exploited and ignored by other international animation groups. Maybe (probably?) AI was involved and some other animators don’t like this. It still looks better than any other effects work I can think of.


But the movie is just broadly excellent. The dialogue and characterization are sharp, the plot is tight (except for an indulgent act 3), and again, it’s visually astounding. Worth seeing in theaters!

I do agree that story #2 was an achievement. The entire bit with the raven filled me with such dread that it took me 3 attempts to get through those last pages. I disagree on #3, the escalation of depravity was funny throughout for me. The juxtaposition between the fictional protagonist dominating the porn star and the obsequious caveats about managing said porn shoot was perfect. And that it expressed a new angle on the themes of identity-as-prison... Also, you can’t tell me you didn’t chuckle at the global warming solution.

The problem is, we don’t have cures. We have drugs that at particular doses have positive risk/benefit ratios for a particular condition for most patients. If every bottle of Tylenol is priced to cover the liability for liver damage I’m not sure pharmacies continue to exist.
