THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE (2017) dir. Chris McKay

[zechery-deactivated20220114]

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

Gonna be so funny when Trump dies of heat stroke in the middle of his 4th of July speech and topples off the podium with a sad little thud

Yeah, I’d watch Muppets Lord of the Rings

Absolutely brilliant. No notes.

OK but Statler and Waldorf need to have climbed the tower of the Eye of Sauron and be watching the whole movie from there.

With ear trumpets and opera binoculars on a stick to explain how they can hear and see every bit of dialogue and bit of action.

Sauron himself needs to be ignorant of their presence immediately below him, and they need to call attention regularly to everything the character that's a literal giant eye doesn't notice.

Once the Ring is destroyed and the tower is fallen they need to be clambering out of the rubble and:

"Looks like the Eye of Sauron is closed."

"Looks like the Eye of Sauron was closed for the whole movie!"

And they both laugh.

I am loving the:

Bi-pan solidarity

Lesbian-ace solidarity

And the

NB-trans solidarity!

[the-based-brit]

Anyway, pansexuality is both biphobic and transphobic, thus pan people don't belong in the LGBT community.

Asexuals aren't inherently LGBT and don't belong, either (unless they also happen to experience same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria). Some aces are also pretty homophobic.

As for nonbinaries...well, I'm nb-neutral, but I do find it odd how no one identified as nonbinary before it was cool.

Someone should remake that image, but with @the-rains-of-castamere's new user.

[ellowynthenotking]

Anyone who says stuff like the-based-brit did is just trying to tear the community apart because we're weaker when we're separate groups.

We are stronger as a united front!

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

what’s the rush?

I am interested in the idea of Toa having different "specialties" or just ways of using their elemental powers even if they are all the same element. Like Tahu kind of inherently being prone to a lot more actual flame and blazing fire, but Vakama tending to express a lot more pure heat without as much flame (possibly related to having been a welder). Tahu could set a whole forest alight by spitting, but Vakama would find it easier to pick something up and make it molten in his hand without ever setting anything alight. and Jaller has gotten very good at boiling, for obvious reasons, and summoning a lot of concentrated power very quickly. Nokama can make it rain so hard you can't see through it in about two seconds, Gali can always bring water seemingly from nowhere no matter what quantity she needs, and Hahli has strong control of waves, tides, and currents. Takanuva uses a lot of beams of light and light-based attacks, but if someone like Solek or Tanma became a Toa, maybe they would be very skilled at illusions and disguises. Just Toa of the same element having a lot of variety in their expression of their powers based on their personality, experiences, and what seems to come easiest to them, the same way they could all specialize in different weapons. And then they get together, see other Toa using their power, and go "you HAVE to teach me that"

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”
