Ivan’s Childhood; although all of Tarkovsky’s oeuvre is worth it.

That’s Alan Turing the traitor as played by Sherlock Holmes?

It is a film with a great list of cheap tropes to avoid.

Yeah, but still - the elephant.

The Tarot of the Bohemians.

I think it’s fairly parochial, and sounds quite infantile to me. Growing up (uk) we just used clockwise to tighten.

Do the top 1% have more or less than 30% of the total wealth?

Bobby Fingers has the best definition of “woke,” one that I feel all can agree with, even if they are dismayed by the quality of his dashboards.

The Sixth Sense.

Such instincts aren’t always perfect, but they’re still worth paying attention to. I don’t see a reason not to express that in a blog post, but you can replace it with “this is unergonomic and in some cases imprecise” if you prefer.

That seems like quite a lot of booms.
