Completely agree. I hope we can get our collective shit together again for the Year 2038 problem; I have my doubts.

In 97 I was the baby face in the Y2K Management Planning Team at the local authority where I worked. I was the pleb on the team who actually "did stuff" and could therefore give input about what required IT and what didn't and what we could if it all fell over on midnight 31st, December, 1999.

In reality nothing happened because the worlds' IT specialists en masse worked their arses off to protect us.

And it worked. They solved a problem that could even then have brought so much to a grinding halt.

And got zero fucking thanks for it really.

Accused of making a mountain of a molehill when in reality they moved the entire mountain, teaspoon by teaspoon.

I just hope yesterday reminds the fuckwits in charge to do as their predecessors did and put fail safes, mechanical overrides and contingency plans in place for the day the IT doesn't fucking work so that next time they don't get smacked in the dick because they are overly reliant on Microsoft systems for everything from opening their fridge to running hospitals.

I just finished watching Glass Onion for the third time so now you get to hear my rant about it but the details are out of order in the timeline because I’m lazy

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

When Miles lifts the gun off of Duke, we can actually see it pre-Blanc explaining it. The scene where the two hug you can see Miles take the gun and slip it into the back of his jeans.

Following the gun thing, we, the viewers actually SEE the gun itself (pre-Blanc’s explanation) when Miles goes back to the mini bar to put it in the ice bucket. Although it’s kind of hard to see it’s very clearly a gun but our eyes manipulate our minds into thinking it’s a drink because it is indeed a minibar.

They show how Miles places the drink in Dukes hand pre Blanc’s explanation but quickly distract us with the groups dynamic and Birdie.

Phillip is skeptical of Helen when she asks for Blanc, we can assume that he and Blanc have had negative run ins with people from jobs. Also Phillip might be judging Helen’s character, who she is, because he doesn’t want to put Blanc into a situation where he’s in true danger. He’s a detective not Batman.

Birdies mask at the beginning of the movie at the boat is just fucking chains across her face in diamond pattern.

Blanc doesn’t have a gag reflex when the dude in the white suit puts Miles “covid vax” down his throat. (Bc he’s 🏳️‍🌈)

Andi, when she first comes up with the idea for Alpha and starts working with Miles, is wearing dark colors. The dark blue pinstripe suit, her completely black ensamble when we see her at the Glass Onion (the bar). But when she’s challenging Miles she’s wearing both Black and white. At the trial she’s wearing a light almost off white suit. Why is this important? Because what color is Helen wearing when she shuts miles down? White. The color white is, in itself, a color that symbolizes Miles downfall.

Connecting back to the white idea, Whiskey is wearing all white (her bathing suit) when she reveals crucial information about Miles giving her the Taurus necklace for her birthday. (Which leads to his downfall when Blanc puts 2+2 together that he killed Andi)

“Im really bad at dumb things” -Blanc. The reason he didn’t catch on to what was going on with Miles earlier was because Miles is stupid. Miles is so dumb that he fucking befuddled Blanc because Miles is so stupid.

Blanc isn’t uncomfortable about his arousal around Birdie when she put her legs up on him while Miles talks about being ‘Disrupters’. He’s uncomfortable because he’s GAY and has a BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND.

There’s a bunch of owls and small trinkets of birds in Birdies room.

The movie, at the very beginning, with Miles mystery invitation box thing hints at where the envelope is hidden. The fibonacci sequence on the box has the center blocked out in black, where we will later see in the film is red which is where Miles is hiding the envelope. For fucks sake the movie even goes out of its way, with Dukes mother, to point out the sequence. (“The first one’s a fibonacci sequence” -Dukes mom).

During the dinner Whiskey is wearing the same golden chain body jewelry that Birdie was wearing earlier at the pool. So this could mean two things: 1. They have the same chain and 2. Whiskey borrowed the chain from Birdie.

Now connecting to my first point about the chain jewelry above. The reason why Miles likes Whiskey, despite her sleeping with him for the sake of Dukes channel, is because Whiskey reminds him of younger Birdie. Birdie even talks to Peg about how dazzled and amazed Miles was when he first met her and how she wishes it was like that again. Then when they’re smashing the glass sculptures, the first thing Whiskey smashes is a sculpture of a bird. Hence smashing Miles perception of her as another person he can use like he used Birdie.

“You have him turn around so he can have deniability” -Aaron Burr in Hamilton (Basically what Blanc was thinking when he walked out of the room)

When Blanc is trying to light his cigar in the “Smokeless garden” the reason the alarms go off is because because just the smoke and small flames from Blanc’s cigar could cause “another Hindenburg”.

The ending scene with Helen and Blanc after Blanc asks her if she’s ready to go home, Helen’s sitting stance mimics the Mona Lisa. Miles said “It all started with her” in reference to his success being inspired by the Mona Lisa. But it all ended with Helen and her stance at the end mimicking the Mona Lisa is meant to represent that. The beginning and end of Miles Bron.

Blanc refers to alchol as offering Helen “some courage”. Ofc as we all know alcohol is commonly referred to as “Liquid Courage”.

We should’ve known Miles was the killer for this simple reason: The glass he handed to Duke. Duke dying holding Miles’s glass is literally like a signed note. Duke died with Miles name literally written on the crime scene.

Tbh S3 would have been interesting and better even if everything was the same except the secret base under Starcourt was American. Like scoops troop still picks up a Russian transmission and translate it, but they get down there, and it's Americans. The code was in Russian as another layer of description and to deflect responsibility. But it's still the American government fucking around with the Upside Down, capturing and torturing kids under a mall. Alexei is a Soviet defector working for the Americans. The big Terminator guy is just a silent American hitman. It's all still a government conspiracy.

[ganondoodle]

honestly cant stand how technically important demise is and yet how he doesnt actually matter or exist in peoples minds as a character, the only thing that matters is his stupid "curse" thing and its the only thing why he will ever be brought up, theres never really any thought around him that isnt related to the "cuuuurse", otherwise he basically doesnt exist in the fandom

to some extent its understandable given how little he actually is in the game but it still makes me sad and a little frustrated imo he shouldnt be treated like soemthing so unimportant given hes involved with the literal start of the timeline

and worst of all is how he and ganondorf make each other worse, like their link is completely deniable yet its like more often than not treated like gan is to demise what zelda is to hylia, but even that isnt used interestingly no, its only ever to write off gan as "well, hes just a demon, demons need no motives or character, they are jsut evil" WHICH IS SO BORING, and people will be HAPPY about that??? they go yippie gan is jsut an evil demon yaaay like the fuck???

it goes around to that other post i made about how not wanting a better written gan is wanting everything to be worse, bc a better written villain is a better written everything and there is only winning in that

demise specifically is just a sore spot for me since hes my blorbo, and the way even gan fans hate him for introducing the "cuuurse" thing just makes it hurt doubly, i get why, still its just so .. man i wish BOTH gan and demise were allowed to be characters, at least gan was a character at some point, demise has nothing ;__;

Nowadays I’m no longer like “when oh when will they let sherlock holmes and john watson kiss?! It’s been almost 140 years!!” and more like “please lord when they do it let it not be one of those mid Netflix shows”

actually the more I listen and compare the more I think that a better way to describe the difference between the british masc rook voice and the american one overall is that the british sounds like a very real person who is being genuinely fierce and determined despite the fact that they are scared and understand the gravity of the situation. and the american one sounds like they might really be deeply fucking nuts enough that when the chips are down they are not even really afraid they're busy being a creature of pure 'go go go!!' fjdsklfjsa. when they really hit their stride they become less a person, more some divine instrument being used for the wildest improvised guitar solo you could ever imagine (and desperately trying to keep up with themselves as the rock ballad of inspiration sure is Happening To Them So Much). BIG moist von lipwig vibes, for those in the fandom overlap

I’ve been thinking about it for a while but it’s strange how much the show is distancing Addam from Corlys, despite Corlys being the central figure in Addam’s story. Seems like it’s another attempt by the writers to reduce Corlys’ role and center Rhaenyra in his family’s life instead. This is the same thing that happened with Laenor in season one.

In the book, Laenor’s story is centred around Corlys, and later its positioned between Corlys and Rhaenyra (with greater emphasis on Corlys). This same setup holds true for Addam as well. But the show completely removed Laenor’s relationship with Corlys to the point that they don’t even have any actual interaction on screen. However, the book suggests a more positive relationship between father and son. So far, Addam only had a single (rather lacklustre) interaction with Corlys who still refuses to accept him as a Velaryon. Yet in the book, Corlys was very eager to acknowledge Addam and the two then developed a closer relationship from there. HOTD had most of Laenor’s interactions be with Rhaenyra in season one, and now in season two, it’s positioning Addam more alongside Rhaenyra rather than Corlys.

At the end of season one, Corlys is led to believe that Rhaenyra murdered Laenor. He never once confronts her about this and instead goes along with whatever she wants. So what are the chances that when Rhaenyra falsely accuses Addam of treason, Corlys goes along with it as well?

The show has already established in season two that Corlys chooses to defer to Rhaenyra’s judgment when it concerns Addam and also that if he dares to speak against Rhaenyra, the character’s around him will shame him into silence.
