Sneakers (1992):

What's wrong with this country, Marty? Money. You taught me that. Evil defense contractors had it, noble causes did not. Politicians are bought and sold like so much chattel. Our problems multiply. Pollution, crime, drugs, poverty, disease, hunger, despair; we throw gobs of money at them! The problems always get worse. Why is that? Because money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it.

Tonight's movie is The Marvels (2023).

It's a rewatch, I like the movie because it's short and entertaining enough. Ok fine, I like the movie because: Brie Be My Valentine?

I love the scene when James Earl Jones' voice booms from the darkness of the office and the team get to ask for what they want in exchange for the box.

Such a great way to wrap up Sneakers.

Millions of Garmin devices are crashing. The reason given is that the GPS satellite pre-cache file is corrupt. What Garmin hasn’t said is why millions have failed at the same time.

Anyways, if your device is broke, here’s a fix.

The comments with people running from one enshitifcated platform to the next platform ready for enshitifcation.

"Cool, cool, cool. I’ll be at Bluesky.”

"The cool kids are on Bluesky anyway.”

"T'is a great time to be on bsky.”

"I hope Bluesky can try something bold to generate revenue.”

And then there is the voice of reason:

"You know Mastodon has all of it, no ads, can be free or you can chip in a few bucks.”
