But to be serious for a moment, I just happen to be watching The Great War Of Archimedes right now and it is only now dawning on me how much of the action takes place from right to left.

Now, I believe this film was based on a Manga, so it is less surprising that it would inherently adopt that visual language, but now I am going to be watching all Japanese cinema more closely to see how fundamentally RTL impacts the approach to film making.

And yet somehow in my memory, the mall looked like the mall, and my grandma's house looked like my grandma's house.

My recollection of the 90s is that we definitely had more than one place, so different places looked different...kinda like now.

But maybe this is a rose colored glasses situation.

The graphics still impress me. It's like the effects in Jurassic Park in that, while the overall tech has improved by leaps and bounds, the execution is so good that it still dazzles.

We have an emoji for a hand making a heart sign, yet we have a heart emoji. Marvelous.

“In America, you can be anything you want. So don’t be weak and gay. Stay fucking hard,” Gomez instructs viewers in the video, delivering one of the most unintentionally homoerotic lines of the 21st century so far.

Great writing.

Hey, apropos of nothing, does anyone else remember when Google's mission statement was simply "Don't Be Evil" but then had to amend that?

Well let's pull out the toilets too. They can and do make plenty of mess of those. Let's just get rid of public amenities.

McBride addressed his supporters as he walked his dog to the front door of the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court to be sentenced.

Why does the dog have to get sentenced? It's well known that they can't help themselves when they hear a whistle blow.

The only thing that MIGHT take me off piracy is the ability to do legally and for reasonable cost what I do with piracy. If I buy something, I download and store it wherever and it's mine forever. I have no problem paying for my content, once. The problem is that we're being driven towards paying for our content over and over. Just like we're being asked to pay for our everything else over and over.

In my view the only thing wrong with this video is that it doesn't have 400 million views, so I like to repost it every so often.
