Ed Balls, and I am not exaggerating, is one million times the poster that Elon “Bolz” Musk is.

Musk will never have a tweet as fondly remembered as "Ed Balls."

We'll see who's laughing when the culling happens in batches of 69.


It will only be Elon because no one else with actually notice that it's batches of 69 or if they do will just groan and mutter.

If you see Elon Musk in the street, it's legal to kick his rear end. Kicking Elon's rear end and farting into his mouth is legal in 20+ states.

I thought Ready Player One was a fun bit of nonsense, but that sounds completely horrible.

It has some neat parts, but all the asides about pop culture are just Ernest Cline crowding the reader into a corner at a party to talk at you like PacMan's the greatest thing you've never heard of.

Dammit, you're a loose cannon! We're doing this by the book!

I'll seduce the big sexy bodyguards, get them to buy me a plane ticket to San Francisco , then Crouch behind Elon. Once I'm in position, you want to be in front of Elon, facing him, not more than a meter away. Shove him, so that he stumbles backwards over me. ]

I remember an ex of mine loving loved it, convinced me to read it, I started skimming through it when he turned into a goon-nosforatu in an armored gaming room. It's such a dire book

Then the movie came out and I thought it was better than the book (low bar), it at least didn't have the weird Ernst clibe relationship poo poo there(as much). And my partner was upset that it didn't follow the book exactly. It's a poo poo book and liking poo poo things is ok, but like be aware that you are enjoying something with rose tinted glasses

hahaha and he was ripped because he set it so he had to exercise to get access to the net. It was written so the character always had some until now undescribed way out of the problem " oh yeah I can play all of Alex Lifeson's guitar solos cause of the VR guitar gamez I played as a kid, so this puzzle is a peice of cake"

That said though the movie was even more dire in my view, a boomer's future, and everything was that Speilberg muted metallic Minority Report design

Atleast the movie was mercifully short, and there is some brief joy in seeing all the Spielbergian properties having a battle Royale

Just a shame it basically had the hunger games/snowcrash lite bolted on to it

Armada, a ripoff of Flight of the Navigator, and probably the worst of them. I only passively experienced all three via the 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back podcast but they seem to all be excruciating as gently caress, much like Musk.
