Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)

Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

There is no ethical way to use AI art. They are all trained on stolen images and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing human artists.

It Follows (2015)

This is such a fun movie with a somewhat unique premise.

I've been helping some friends and colleagues block some of the site scraping bots that are feeding "AI" models. Decided to take some of my notes and make something others could use too. It's a work-in-progress. Happy to add to or correct things.

never got bullied but I remember a kid that did when I was growing up. Let’s call him Mike.
>scrawny. pasty kid. Curly hair, ginger, wore glasses.
>no friends
>constantly picked on by everyone
>I was pretty much the only kid that was pleasant to him. Never really had it in me to be a dick to people.
>Didn’t talk to him much though. Mostly just a smile and a headnod in the hallways
>spent most of his lunches writing and drawing in a notebook by himself
>everyday, constant bullying
>one day on the bus home, it was worse than usual. Don’t remember what exactly was said, but it was bad.
>I sat there and minded my own business
>kid goes home and hangs himself
>next day at school, everyone talked about how much they missed him and how they all loved him
>words cannot describe my disgust
>his funeral is coming up, I go only kid from my school that shows up his mother runs up to me
>you must be Phil! Mike always told me how you two were best friends! He always told me about all the fun you guys had etc etc
>It dawns on me
>everyday at lunch he was writing down made up stories of he and I hanging out and having a good time
>the thing that really haunts me, the thing that still keeps me up some nights now, 15 years later, is what she said next
>I just know that if you were on that bus you would have stopped them

If you live in a city with tall buildings, take a look at the night skyline. The buildings probably have flashing lights on them to help aircraft pilots to identify the shapes of buildings and not fly into them.

You might notice that the buildings flash in synchrony, even though they are hundreds of metres apart. What's going on?

Yesterday’s Mystery Person was Karen Silkwood.

From Wikipedia: Karen Silkwood was an American chemical technician and labor union activist known for raising concerns about corporate practices related to health and safety in a nuclear facility.

She worked at the Kerr-McGee Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site in Oklahoma, making plutonium pellets, and became the first woman on the union's negotiating team.

🤦 I'm so sorry.

Wait, are there any movie with a title that isn't made automatically funnier by adding "...Between my Legs"?

How shitty some people can be?

Sometimes I even use napkins and buy receipts and pieces of torn newspaper.

Instead of using the group actor, it just picks a random person to announce new posts. Not the author, not anyone related, just apparently anyone on the server.

My best wishes and luck, it' all I can say.

How difficult could be to find another collaborator? You may have one or two different bands simultaneously, apart from the one you already have. You may even give different musical approachings to these different projects.

Just guessing. It's hard when you feel a collaborator is lagging the final work. I wish you luck.

No. I don't feel sorry. Hit. Hit hard.

Can't you both agree on some part of the material to be published right now, and keep working on the rest for, say, a second album, or an extended one?

If, on the contrary, it's the usual material from crappy bosses that only want to reaffirm themselves in their bossy bullshit, just tell them that it was "very remarkable and with very enlightening ideas" and move on.

ROUND 6

There's only one woman you can have sex with for the rest of your life. Who is it going to be?

Round 1 thru 4 winner: Gillian Anderson

Round 5 winner: Margot Robbie

Gillian Anderson was finally unseated by Margot Robbie. Will Robbie win again?

What is always superb in his work is the language economy, the to-the-point sentences, the lack of useless words and meaningless descriptions. Hemingway invented the modern prose and all of us readers and writers owe him a drink.

Aunque antiguamente se llamaba torneo «masculino», siempre se han podido presentar mujeres. Fue en 1986 cuando Susan Polgar [1] llegó a semifinales y le tuvieron que cambiar el nombre a la categoría y esta pasó a ser general.

ROUND 7

There's only one man you can have sex with for the rest of your life. Who is it going to be?

Round 1 thru 6 winner: Trent Reznor

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Can’t anyone unseat Trent Reznor? My choice from Saturday was Bernal.

If a book has an "absolutely uninteresting storyline", then it's not that "great" to me, so I drop it and get another one.

It's a hate symbol hon.

Starting with version 116, #Firefox will drop support for macOS versions prior to 10.15 as well as Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. This has understandably annoyed a few users so let me explain why we're taking this step: the maintenance burden of supporting several versions of each platform is very significant. I'll show you how much by citing three platform-specific bugs I've worked on over the past two years. 🧵 1/13

One of the hilarious things going on is that the big capital-owned news companies in Canada decided that they wanted some of Facebook's money.

So they bribed the Canadian politicians into writing a copyright law which requires that anyone who links to the big capital-owned news companies pay those big capital-owned media conglomerates money for every link.

😆 🤣

Obviously Facebook then just stopped allowing their users to do that, because they don't even want their users to leave Facebook and go to news company websites anyway. It's the users that wanted to be able to link like that.

😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆

For reasons not unrelated to the corporate/capital capture of law and sovereignty, all of Canada is in fire.

People are trying to tell their friends on Facebook about how they have to immediately leave the town because it's going to burn down and they are all going to die.

But they are trying to do so by linking to the local capital-owned news media conglomerate's web-pages.

But doing that isn't allowed any more because, the news media conglomerates demand payment for that sort of thing, backed up by genuinely paid-for "democratic" bribery to the Canadian political parties.

😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆

The Canadian government is today demanding that Facebook allow the linking even though it's the Canadian government's laws that tax and so forbid it.

😆

This timeline is so fucking cursed. I really hate it when Facebook is right.

Though I do hate it more when people are all burning.

These four movies were all based on books by Richard Matheson. Which do you consider to be the best, and why?

Please boost if you can for a greater response.

The Vincent Price one is probably the most faithful to the book, but it seems like done on a severe budget with no passion. Probably a product of its time, as you say.

The Charlton Heston one is the most different. Basically, the "new people" are mostly proto-goth vampire/zombie mishmash. Mr. Rifle shoots them from a car while driving. Very forgettable.

I may be a little rude on the 2007 one, but all Will Smith movies feel the same to me. This one deserved to be better, but the end is so disappointing.

Aún no parece arreglado...

I Am Legend (the book) has been adapted into films three times: The Last Man on Earth (featuring Vincent Price, 1964), The Omega Man (featuring Charlton Heston, 1971), and this one with Will Smith. All three are crap.

Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":

- DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.

- Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:

"There are no countries in Africa that start with K."
"What about Kenya?"
"Kenya suck deez nuts?"

Google Search is over.

Unlike sex work, my “good” jobs didn’t threaten to overthrow traditional power structures. Many sex workers, including myself, have long hypothesized that the reason so many people in power work to keep the commercial sex trade marginalized is because they’re threatened by it—by the idea that it’s the only field where women outearn men, that it’s an industry where women get to call the shots, and that women profit off something that men have been told they’re entitled to for free: sex and attention in equal parts. In my experience of the corporate landscape, there was none of this radical power structure, only an upholding of the traditional: men talking and women listening, men in powerful positions getting both credit and profit for the labour of women beneath them. Is this what I worked so hard for? I wondered daily."
