Jaafar keeping a secret from most of his family for a full year while simultaneously preparing for the biggest role of his life is a level of emotional complexity I had not thought about before. He could not process any of it with the people who mattered most to him.
The vertical scroll format is actually one of the things Kim and Hwang use brilliantly. Some of the reveals in Bastard only land the way they do because of the long scroll before them. Copycat is already doing this in chapter 3.
Nobody talks about the supply chain security roles the article mentions. Verifying hardware integrity from manufacture through installation is a genuinely specialized skill set and there are almost no people trained for it.
The Michael movie review verdict is in, and it is more complicated than the 26% Rotten Tomatoes score suggests. Antoine Fuqua's long-delayed Michael Jackson biopic, simply titled Michael, hit theaters this weekend with Jaafar Jackson playing his late uncle, and the critical response has been brutal. The BBC gave it one star. Roger Ebert's site called it a filmed playlist in search of a story. Yet early audience reactions on social media have been warmer, ticket pre-sales suggest an $80 million opening, and Variety thought it worked as an engrossing middle-of-the-road biopic. After tracking coverage across more than a dozen outlets over the past 48 hours, I think the honest answer to "should you watch this?" depends almost entirely on what you want from a music biopic, and this guide breaks down exactly what the film delivers, what it skips, and who will actually enjoy sitting through its two-hour-and-nine-minute runtime.
The QWER opening theme announcement got me more excited than almost anything else. A Korean girl group doing their first Japanese anime tie-up for this show feels like a genuinely cool cultural moment.
The structure shift in later volumes is divisive but I think it is actually the point. JH is showing you that there is no single hero story. Every person who steps into that ring has a complete life behind them.
The premise alone sold me. A murim world invaded by outer space demons is the kind of chaotic energy I never knew I needed in my life.
Most people can edit a Google Doc. Delete some words, rearrange sentences, fix typos, add paragraphs. It's intuitive and requires no special training. Now imagine editing video the same way. That's Descript's core innovation, and it transformed video editing from a specialized skill requiring expensive software into something anyone who can edit text can do effectively. Descript started as a transcription tool for podcasters. Record your podcast, upload it to Descript, and get an accurate transcript for show notes. But the founders realized something bigger. If you have a perfect transcript synchronized to audio, you can edit the audio by editing the text. Delete a word from the transcript and that word disappears from the audio. That insight became the foundation for a complete editing platform.
For that to happen you'd need the ceasefire to hold, ETF inflows to keep coming, the Fed to signal at least a soft pivot, and no major macro shock. That's a lot of dominoes but not impossible given where sentiment is.
Anyone else notice that privacy coins like Zcash are going completely parabolic right now alongside this rally? The Iran story probably has something to do with that too given sanctions concerns.
The article asks what Paris says about the future. My guess is a lot more of this. More curated appearances, fewer of them, each one very deliberate. That is a more interesting public presence than the constant content cycle.
Has anyone tried this with different colored shoes? I'm thinking maybe a metallic would work?
Can we talk about how perfectly the colors complement each other? The pink stripes with the brown suede is *chef's kiss*
The proportions are perfect between the fitted top and skinny jeans. Makes legs look miles long
