- Oh my god just write your own emailsGoogle is buying 6-7 nuclear reactors to power its AI

- So, you're a young cinephile who loves PARASITE and wants to see more Korean movies. What an exciting time awaits you! Here's your homework thread:
- Re: PET SEMATARY: I just keep thinking about whose job it was on set every day to dirty up the cat. Like, “oh, yeah, I have to go in early tomorrow, I have to rub some Vaseline and coffee grounds on this cat”
