  • Finished episode 8 right now: masterpiece.

    <Episode 8 spoilers>

    Never seen a manipulated crowd action so clear AND enticing on screen as in this episode.

    And I know I was meant to, but DAMN! that “Who are you?” made me feel sorry for Cyril. Also the final shot of the mother watching the Imperial narrative on TV together with her friends hits so hard, especially being someone living abroad without TV since 20 years and seeing my mother doing just that in front of TV news every time I am back visiting.

    I will continue in one hour with my opinion on Episode 9.







  • Let’s put it like this: Antifascists won’t forget.

    Here in the EU we have more than one country that was in fact rebuilt from the ground up centered around an Antifascist identity.

    My country, Italy is one of them, and yes, we have at the government a woman who represents a party which is direct descendant of the fascist party, but that’s why you get students and professors in the universities and common people rallying together for Palestine AND against the neo-fascist government’s decrees.

    There is an end in sight for Musk, one I can promise: this all ends when every fascist is dead.




  • No.

    They are all terrible movies, with droid-like performances, plot holes the size of a Sarlacc pit and effects and fight choreographies as pointless as the little pistons on the exterior of a surrogate hand.

    Mark Hamill should be ashamed of agreeing to participate in them, even more to compensate the fact that apparently Ford cannot help himself from doing it here and in the Indy movies.



  • Two weeks in switching from Windows to Linux and I never once needed to use the equivalent of Task Manager.

    It may well have been beginner’s optimism, but still, it did feel strange, so strange indeed that I started wondering whether Linux Mint even had one and I got promptly reassured in my perception by the fact that instead of being named Task Manager (you act with it), it is named System Monitor (you observe with it).
