there's a post going around that's like "spotify wrapped you can tell who uses spotify" and it's like... in real life, music fans aren't competitive about this. we're out at shows, you can't hear each other at shows. no i'm kidding i was going to say. like i agree with the premise because i both don't use spotify for streaming nor do i distribute my music there anymore because i hate daniel ek on a personal level for spending all the income on million dollar joe rogan podcast advances and i'm a UMAW member. but i ALSO have a bandcamp account. i paid full price for JP5000. i'm behind on buying releases from the mimu discord. i have more CDs than i can rip. i have copies of regina spektor from back when cdbaby had a store. i paid through the nose in krona to import lykke li's debut before it was released stateside. i used lastfm but scrobbling was a pain. i repair ipods for fun. i have forgotten for several months to update my thousand-line spreadsheet to include 2022 releases. sometimes you try to get organized about it several times and end up with several different methods of organization that you half-keep up with
having a streaming account doesn't actually reveal much about how you listen to or pay for listening to music
sometimes things aren't on streaming. sometimes the only way to get a copy is out of the penny bin at FYE or on amazon or by pirating it. sometimes you have to specifically request it from a private livejournal piracy group. sometimes you have to go to their werbsite and buy merch because you know they've never gotten any substantial sum from you. sometimes you don't have any money and you pirate everything for years. sometimes you buy review copies that have had the barcode sawed out the case. sometimes your streaming account is a french service where christine and zazie have the same amount of fans as megan, who all have 10% the fans bad bunny has because it's popular in brazil. sometimes you go out for drinks with somebody from the australian tori amos bbforum and his boyfriend will be like "oh i was worried music fans would be like, aloof, but you're geeks just like everybody else." can we all please just agree that swifties are the problem

Never enough
I am amazed by how much we have commoditized anxiety and insecurity.
Today I got two email notices: one that my email address was found on the “dark web”, and another that my credit score is available for review.
Now, the former... okay, the “dark web” isn’t really a big mystery to me. I used to be a network engineer. The “dark web” is basically like, the roads that don’t have street signs. If you don’t know, it seems scary, but it really isn’t. And of fucking course there’s someone there with my email address. My email address is one of the most public parts of my identity. I have, in fact, published documents which have it in the gods-be header, okay? (We call those documents resumes, or CV). A script looking for “@” signs will catch my email address. This is not a point of concern, is what I’m saying. It’s being couched like it’s a Big Deal, but it really is not.
As for the credit score. My credit score is obscenely good.It’s more than 100 points higher than average for people my age. It’s not quite at the absolute maximum, but it’s really close.
Does the credit report say “Hey! Kudos to you! Lenders will literally give you limitless credit! Keep doing what you’re doing and it’s cool!”?
No, of course not. The report says nothing of the sort. It’s a list of things I could do to make my credit rating even higher. This wouldn’t accomplish anything, mind. I wouldn’t gain any additional access, special privileges, or have any doors opened to me. I would just be getting a higher number. But the implication is, this is a thing I must be doing, my absurdly high credit score is Not Enough.
This is our financial landscape, and our emotional landscape. I recall reading about this couple which had upwards of $10,000/month in passive income (mostly rent from properties they own) and pulled in another $20,000/month. And them expressing that they just didn’t feel financially secure enough to have kids. Which, to you and me, is simply ridiculous - These folks are making half a million per year, and worried about their finances? My spending spreadsheet would give them a panic attack.
But it also makes sense. We live in an economy which rewards people who are anxious and insecure - which says “Always be scared you’ll lose your job, that you’ll miss an opportunity. Take the extra shift. Do the night classes. Get an MBA. Invest more money. Worry worry worry.” and at the same time, that the key to happiness is in spending infinite money. That cooking, cleaning, driving, even just relaxing at home are all tedious things which you can outsource, so you can spend your scant free time on Exciting and Interesting things, or, you know, working more and earning more money. Because having another couple thousand dollars will definitely be enough to ward off those brain weasels, right? Right?
So you get someone who is actually successful, who got lucky enough to make investments which work out, who found a vocation which actually pays well... but they’re still motivated by that same fear. And no, another $100,000 will not let you hide from your own anxieties. Which means pulling in half a million dollars and having millions in assets isn’t enough, but they’re still chasing that magical amount of money which will make it all go away.
And isn’t that, basically, what we’re seeing from most of the richest people? An utter inability to let go, to say “Oh. Yeah, I now have enough money to buy a fucking island and also finance space exploration, that’s pretty cool, how about I try being happy now?” but rather they’re just seeking Even More Wealth and broadening that into wanting Power, too. People who are themselves motivated by an endless anxiety they cannot fulfill, trying to take over the lives of everyone else.

I told the team like three times, "we should provide those numbers as percentages, not dollar amounts, that's what the requester is probably expecting AND it's what we typically do in these situations," and I marked up the pdf showing the specific spots we need to put those numbers, and showed them those spots live in meetings at least twice while answering their questions again, and what do I get. A whole fucking spreadsheet, cc'd to everyone to review, with instructions TO ME that "those grey columns are for internal use only," like, ok, I'm supposed to make this document the final??? Hide the columns and pdf the fucker? What?? When?! NOW?? When it may still need reviewing by all the people cc'd????? We do need to send the whole fucking spreadsheet, but as a PDF and a) I am Not Doing Math for you, that's your job, also I am sick and will probably fuck it up, even using spreadsheet magic, and b) fucking - send me the fucking document AFTER it has been reviewed by all the people with the appropriate knowledge to review it, send it to me as a fucking PDF that is ready to go, and c) put. the numbers. in. the markup session. that's what it's there for. That is what I work from. Not trying to parse out which of the million zillion fucking dollar amounts in there are the right ones and that need to be mathed appropriately.
The fact that one of the times we went over "provide this [here] as percentages" this morning just adds to my ire.

My #1 post of 2022
Tumblr media
Thinking today about two guys who only met because of a number of vaguely absurd circumstances. How one of them was older, but graduated college during the Great Recession and couldn’t find an adult job for years, so when he applied to the BuzzFeed internship, he was 4 or 5 years older than everyone else in his class. And how the other one was supposed to be a cinematographer, but took a chance on something else when the grip life wasn’t cutting it. How neither of them expected to last that long at Buzzfeed, one sure he would get fired for being slow and meticulous, the other assuming he’d cut and run and/or get fired if he didn’t pull unpaid overtime. How they ended up at the same set of desks. How movie trailers got the one to open up. How the other one was, quite literally, not there to make friends. How they became friends anyway. How the one took a simple idea and made it into a five minute video on the Somerton Man with his carpool buddy. How he then asked the other to fill in when the carpool buddy got transferred. How the other one had a free calendar to film a video about the Illuminati. How he kept having a free calendar to go ghost hunting in a mystery house, a terrible island of dolls and spiders, and a unassuming Kansas home. How one of them screaming at a flashlight and the other one laughing changed both their lives forever. How they took an oath to keep doing this with no one but each other. How they took a leap of faith and bet on themselves to start something new with the smartest person they knew. How their timing was cosmically horrible, launching this new thing right as the world shut down. How they persevered when it seemed like it might all end at any second. How they grew their little company, in fits and starts, until they finally got on stable land. How they didn’t even wait before ending their original ghost hunting series to start planning a new one. One where they could make all the rules. And how after months of planning and shooting and editing, that new series is here. And it’s bigger than either of them imagined. How shocked they are that thousands of people have come to see them, how dozens have flown across states and countries to celebrate with them, how millions have watched this show that they’re so proud of. How for the first time, their company has breathing room. How they can finally exhale. How all the hard work and long hours are paying off. How this is just the beginning. 
Tumblr media
Yeah, I’d be smiling like that too.

How Amazon Mechanical Turk Can Be Used to Earn Income
You can complete jobs on Amazon’s crowdsourcing marketplace and earn money, but is it worth it? This post will explain Amazon Mechanical Turk and discuss its advantages for remote workers.
Tumblr media
What is the Amazon Mechanical Turk?
Essentially, Amazon Mechanical Turk, also known as MTurk, is a marketplace where companies, referred to as “Requesters,” can contract out specific operations and activities to independent contractors, referred to as “Turkers.”
Requesters gain from Turkers’ ability to complete these simple jobs, saving them from having to hire workers to do these tedious activities themselves. By spreading out these tedious jobs among a horde of distant workers eager to work for pennies on the dollar or, better still, Amazon gift cards, Requesters may also do these mundane chores more quickly.
What jobs can you complete on Mechanical Turk?
Tumblr media
The most typical ones you will encounter as a novice Turker are:
Work with spreadsheets, recordkeeping, and data entering.
Transcriptions of audio and video.
Sorting pictures and data into categories.
Assessing products.
Answering surveys.
Gathering, replicating, and verifying data.
Internet search terms.
Comparing the products and records of data.
moderation of content.
ratings for videos on YouTube.
According to a Pew Research Center survey from 2016, over 37% of HITs include workers recording information that appears in an image, typically a sales receipt. Transcription of audio or video files comes in second place with 26% of HITs. Responding to surveys is also rather common; the most popular subjects to answer are consumer goods, personality, finances, and education.
Tumblr media
On Mechanical Turk, how much can I make?
It’s not exactly a good idea to use Amazon Mechanical Turk as your main source of income, and in certain situations, it can take a long time and a lot of HITs to turn it into a profitable side gig.
Each HIT that is found will have a price that is paid to the workforce and a time allotment for completion. Some jobs can be completed for as little as a penny, while others can cost anywhere from $0.50 to a few dollars. The simplest and least lucrative tasks cost even less. Turkers will occasionally come upon high-paying jobs as well, with payouts of up to $50 after completion.
According to 2018 platform research, out of the 3.8 million jobs that were examined and completed by 2676 people, the median hourly wage for these workers was approximately $2, and only 4% of workers made more than $7.25 per hour.
Tumblr media
How to sign up for Amazon Mechanical Turk?
Since its founding, the majority of Turkers have come from the US; nevertheless, the distribution of Turkers indicates that graduates have migrated mostly from the US to China and India. As of this writing, over 70% of active Turkers are from the US, over 10% are from India, and the remaining Turkers are from other countries, according to MTurk Tracker, a website that updates Turker demographics hourly. Up to 30% of Turkers historically originated in India.
After completing the registration form, Amazon will review it and notify you via email whether it has been approved or denied. Usually, this happens within a few days.
After being accepted, you can search in the dashboard for HITs that you are eligible to perform and get paid for each one that is finished. You may track your progress as a Turker and check productivity by setting your HIT objective on the dashboard.
Companies can offer low-cost jobs on Amazon Mechanical Turk instead of expanding their workforce. If you make an effort and you’re willing to take on tasks that others usually don’t want to do, it might be a great side job for teleworking. Mechanical Turk may be useful if you are interested in obtaining funds in exchange for completing a variety of quick assignments once without deadlines and in time for you. Did we miss anything about Amazon Mechanical Turk? Tell us what you think of the comments.

Worry not, let's dive into details for navigating the production software jungle!
First things first: What is production software?
In simplest terms, it's the digital sidekick that helps you manage every step of the production process, from planning and scheduling to budgeting and delivery. Think of it as a one-stop shop for:
Task management: Keep track of who's doing what, when, and how. No more sticky notes lost in the abyss!

But wait, there's more! Different types of production software cater to specific needs. Whether you're a video editor juggling deadlines, a manufacturing maestro orchestrating the assembly line, or a software developer wrangling code, there's a tailor-made solution out there.
So, how do you choose the perfect production software?
Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your industry, team size, budget, and workflow. But here are some tips to guide your quest:
Identify your pain points: What are the biggest production headaches you face? Is it communication breakdowns, missed deadlines, or keeping track of a million moving pieces?
Do your research: Explore different options, read reviews, and try free trials. Talk to colleagues in your industry for recommendations.
Consider your team: Will the software be intuitive and easy to use for everyone? Does it offer collaboration features?
Don't be afraid to ask questions: Contact the software vendors and get a demo. Make sure it's a good fit before you commit.
Conclusion:
Remember, production software is an investment, but it's one that can pay off handsomely in increased efficiency, improved communication, and happier, more productive teams. So, ditch the spreadsheets and sticky notes, embrace the power of production software, and watch your production beast transform from fire-breathing monster to purring kitten (of productivity, of course).

Sam Bankman-Fried says he made "mistakes," but he didn't mislead anyone in his statement.
Tumblr media
Sam Bankman-Fried says he made "mistakes," but he didn't mislead anyone in his statement. Sam Bankman-Fried, the creator of FTX, stated during his self-defence testimony on Friday during his fraud trial that "many people got hurt" when the cryptocurrency exchange failed last year, but he maintained he did not swindle anyone or take billions of dollars from clients. On his first day of testimony with the jury present, Bankman-Fried took questions from his own attorney and acknowledged making "mistakes" like failing to establish a risk-management team. He also attempted to place the blame on Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of his hedge fund that focused on cryptocurrencies, who was a crucial prosecution witness. The 31-year-old former billionaire's responses supported his long-held belief that, although he started a rapidly expanding firm from the ground up, he neglected some areas of his business and never intended to steal from others. "We believed we could create the greatest product available," Bankman-Fried stated throughout his six-hour testimony in federal court in Manhattan. "It really worked out the other way around. Numerous individuals were harmed, including workers and clients, and the business filed for bankruptcy." In response to two charges of fraud and five counts of conspiracy, Bankman-Fried has entered a not-guilty plea. He might spend decades behind bars if found guilty. Bankman-Fried is accused by the prosecution of utilizing FTX customer cash to support Alameda, engage in risky venture capital investments, and contribute over $100 million to American political campaigns. In addition, he is charged with plotting to defraud FTX investors and Alameda's lenders. In a composed response to defence attorney Mark Cohen's inquiries, Bankman-Fried stated that he thought the money spent for real estate and sponsorships came from the company's earnings or capital obtained from equity investors rather than from FTX's consumers as the prosecution claims. He alleged he used money he held in Alameda to make political contributions. In an attempt to disassociate himself from certain acts he claimed three of his closest former coworkers—all of whom entered guilty pleas to fraud and testified against him in court—had taken without his direct consent. Although they claimed that he gave them specific instructions to carry out the theft of customer monies and to falsify to lenders and investors, Bankman-Fried presented himself as a detached CEO who had faith in his staff. "SEEMED POSSIBLE TO ME." Ellison, Bankman-Fried's ex-girlfriend who came and went, testified on October 11 that he gave her instructions to fabricate Alameda's balance sheets in order to scare off lenders in the event of a June 2022 cryptocurrency market meltdown. In her testimony on Friday, Bankman-Fried stated that although Ellison gave him a spreadsheet that she was thinking of sending to a lender, he did not thoroughly review it. During her testimony, Bankman-Fried gazed from time to time toward the jurors. "I remember looking over it and saying that it seemed reasonable to me," she said. In his testimony, former FTX chief technology officer Gary Wang claimed that Bankman-Fried gave him instructions to alter FTX's computer code so that Alameda would receive special treatment and not be automatically liquidated in the event that its positions lost value. This change made it possible for money to be stolen. Bankman-Fried stated in his testimony that he requested Wang and FTX Chief Engineering Officer Nishad Singh to stop Alameda from inadvertently becoming bankrupt. However, he was unaware at the time of what his colleagues had implemented, which enabled Alameda to have a negative balance. After FTX filed for bankruptcy in December 2022, amid a surge of withdrawals from clients worried about the security of their money, Bankman-Fried was taken into custody. Bankman-Fried attempted to hold Ellison primarily responsible for Alameda's downfall on Friday. In her testimony, he expressed his concern that Ellison had not taken precautions against downturns in the cryptocurrency market and stated that although she was an excellent manager, "risk management" was not her main priority. He also refuted her account, saying he believed a big portion of FTX's reputation came from his signature dishevelled appearance. While running FTX, he claimed to have worn T-shirts and shorts because they were "comfortable," and he refrained from getting his hair cut because he was "busy and lazy." The Bankman-Fried wearing a dark suit, giving the jury a polished appearance. Without the jurors present, Bankman-Fried was questioned by both sides on Thursday as the court determined which portions of his testimony would be allowed. Next week, during their cross-examination of Bankman-Fried, prosecutors will have their first opportunity to grill him in front of the jury. Cohen stated that he would wrap up the direct examination early on Monday. source credit ALSO READ: Trump’s campaign cash bigger than GOP rivals. fundraising Tips. Read the full article

How To Extract Hotel Prices From Websites Like Google, Expedia, Or Booking.Com?
Tumblr media
In 2021, the hotel industry is witnessing a notable recovery after a year of declining travel bookings, with predictions indicating it will reach approximately $192 million in revenue. Web scraping hotel data is a valuable tool to gain a competitive edge and effectively target the right audience. Whether you're already familiar with hotel market data collection, web scraping streamlines the process, making it quicker and more efficient. Utilizing a travel data scraper, you can effortlessly gather crucial data, eliminating the need to manually visit numerous competitor and travel booking websites, input search parameters, and manually record information in spreadsheets. This efficient approach allows you to save precious time and allocate it to other aspects of your business.
In the current landscape, the travel industry stands out as one of the most lucrative niches in online business. With the convenience of booking hotels, villas, buses, international flights, and car rentals online, millions of people are exploring the world.

Prices can change daily or even hourly, with many daily flights. Web scraping travel data emerges as a powerful solution for efficiently tracking this data. It enables the extraction of information for various airport combinations, timings, and flights, facilitating observation and analysis of cost-effective routes, ticket prices, villa rates, pricing trends, and more.

Guide to Extracting Hotel Listings
Tumblr media
Begin your hotel prices web scraping projects by establishing specific objectives for each project. Clearly defined goals will guide the development of data collection queries, ensuring the extraction of relevant information. Once your goals are in place, you can initiate your project.
However, adhering to ethical practices while conducting web scraping is crucial. Best practices to extract hotel prices from websites like Google, Expedia, or Booking.com encompass:
Data Accessibility: Only scrape publicly available data.
Rate Limiting: Avoid overwhelming a website with excessive requests to prevent disruption.
Proxies: If utilizing proxies, ensure they are ethical.
Incorporating these ethical principles allows you to conduct web scraping responsibly and respectfully.
Selecting Tools, Proxies, and Strategies for Effective Hotel Data Web Scraping
Tumblr media
When embarking on web scraping for hotel data, making informed choices about tools and methods is crucial. Here's a comprehensive guide:
1. Defining Project Goals: Begin by setting clear objectives for your web scraping project. This step helps design tailored data collection queries to obtain precisely the information you need.
2. Ethical Considerations: Always practice ethical web scraping by adhering to the following principles:
Scrape only publicly available data.
Avoid overloading websites with excessive requests to prevent disruptions.
If using proxies, ensure they are ethical.
3. Why Use a Proxy: Web scraping involves sending numerous website requests. Excessive inquiries can trigger website administrators to perceive this as an attack, potentially leading to IP address bans. A proxy serves to:
Conceal your identity.
Rotate queries to mimic human internet behavior.
Reduce the risk of IP bans.
4. Proxy Selection: Residential proxies, which link to actual residential addresses, are more challenging for websites to detect as proxies. It minimizes the risk of being banned by booking sites and other platforms.
5. Choosing a Web Scraper: Several specialized hotel scraping APIs are available for collecting hotel data. Consider factors like customer reviews and suitability for your specific needs when selecting a tool. Open-source web scrapers offer versatility for gathering data from various websites beyond industry-specific ones.
6. Building Your Scraper: For a more customized approach, you can construct a hotel data scraper using Python, a user-friendly programming language. Install Python and relevant libraries, such as Beautiful Soup and lxml, to parse data and extract relevant information.
7. Improving Your Scraper: Python also provides access to libraries like Selenium, which is ideal for handling websites with field codes and JavaScript features. Utilize rotating IP addresses in conjunction with Selenium to minimize the risk of bans.
8. Structuring Your Project: To create an effective web scraper, follow these steps:
Visit the target site and set up your desired conditions.
Copy the URL of your query and paste it into your web scraper.
Run your search and export data to a CSV file for convenient analysis.
9. Avoiding IP Bans: To prevent being flagged as a bot, take the following measures:
Rotate IP addresses using residential proxies.
Set a real user agent in your query header to mimic a legitimate browser.
Create multiple request headers with additional code, making your scraper resemble a genuine user.
Implement random delays between queries to simulate human browsing patterns.

Listie says something about every movie she added to her spreadsheet in August 2023
So, like, as only the second entry in this series, and from such a new account on top of that, I doubt anyone's really wondering why it took so long for this to come out. And, well, the answer is really short and simple—I took my advice from the first entry and got a Letterboxd account.
I guess I'll be posting all of my thoughts about the new films I add to my spreadsheet there, then. But since I already had a majority of this post typed up, I may as well go ahead and finish it off. Send it off proper, y'know?
Transformers (2007)
Date watched: 2023-08-02
And here's me continuing to watch the Transformers movies after seeing the original 80's film back in July. 'Cuz, I mean, with how far removed that one is from the rest of the films...
But anyway, Michael Bay's Transformers! It's honestly not as bad as the Bay hate train I was on in, like, 2017 made it seem. Like, I still think the design of the Transformers is a little too complicated, but whatever. I got used to it.
In hindsight, Bumblebee pissing on a guy isn't even in the top 10 dumbest moments in this series. "I ate the whole plate" still remains an iconic moment, though—thanks, Lindsay.
Cocktail (1988)
Date watched: 2023-08-04
Patrick (H) Wilson said in his Letterboxd review of the film that it takes a turn the moment it gets to Jamaica. I think it turns a little earlier than that, 'cuz lemme tell you, the slight whiplash I had going from a dramatic scene to the opening bars of gawddamn "Kokomo"...!
I'unno, it's just damn something to me to see the dramatic beats in this movie and consider that I knew it best for launching songs like "Don't Worry, Be Happy".
Hardcore Henry (2015)
Date watched: 2023-08-07
See, this is a film I actually already had on my spreadsheet, but not the part that counts. So here it is now.
I get why people don't like this film. I do, honestly. But, gawd, to me, it's just fun. Dumb, fun and damn unique. I ain't never seen another movie like this—and maybe that's a good thing, 'cuz if I had motion sickness it would've taken me way longer to watch this thing with all the breaks I would've need to take, I swear.
Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen (2009)
Date watched: 2023-08-07
This is one of the three Transformers movies I saw in theaters back when they came out, and literally the only things I remembered about this movie before watching it again were Megan Fox's boobs bouncing in slow motion in the climax and the line "I AM DIRECTLY BENEATH THE ENEMY SCROTUM." And, I mean, there was other stuff, too, but I honestly thought a lot of it happened in the next one, like the panty shot of that one girl who turns out to be a Decepticon.
And it's funny that those are among the only things I remembered this movie, 'cuz I did not have as much horny brain back then as I do now, so for those to be the things that stuck out in my mind...
Oh, and of course Megan Fox on the bike—which I thought was how she was introduced last movie, so maybe these movies jus' all kinda blend together for me.
Any case, it's not the worst thing, either. A step down from the first, sure, but compared to how things are gonna go, this is like a stairstep compared to going off a cliff.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)
Date watched: 2023-08-09
It's a good flick, but if this is really how the teens of today talk, then, gawd, I already felt a million years older than the current generation, so this doesn't help at all.
But at least I got to experience to rush of hearing SLACKCiRCUS's cover of "What's Up?" playing on the big screen in a room full of people who haven't spent as much time online as I have. That was damn magical, right there.
Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (2011)
Date watched: 2023-08-10
Before this movie, everything I thought I remembered about this movie was from the previous movie, like the ass/panty shot to introduce the replacement for Megan Fox. And after watching this movie, realizing that this is where that happens is really the only thing I gained.
Well, I did get to see Optimus Prime merciless kill Leonard Nimoy-bot begging for his life. That was funny.
Phineas And Ferb The Movie: Candace Against The Universe (2020)
Date watched: 2023-08-11
It took me so long to watch this movie because I didn't wanna watch it until after I finished Milo Murphy's Law, which I didn't wanna watch until I finished Phineas And Ferb, which only took me so damn long to finish because I was lazy, and then when I did finish Milo Murphy's Law it took me so long to watch this because by that point it was Fall and I didn't wanna watch this until it was Summer again, and so here I watched it exactly one year after I watched Phineas And Ferb The Movie: Across The 2nd Dimension.
And all that run-on sentence just to say, "Damn, they still got it. And it's jus' damn fun to see these characters again, too."
Also, I don't know how much I entirely buy the head canon I saw that Vanessa is a lesbian, but I like the idea, so I'll accept it anyway.
Transformers: Age Of Extinction (2014)
Date watched: 2023-08-13
I remember when I saw this movie in theaters with my family, I was joking with some stranger beforehand that this was gonna be the start of the "Mark Wahlberg trilogy" after the Shia LeBouf one had come to its end.
Imagine my surprise, then, when the movie ends how it does.
Also, RIP T.J. Miller, and heck on that one "Romeo & Juliet law" guy. I can't believe I had to look up Texas state penal code. Gawddamn.
Dreamgirls (2006)
Date watched: 2023-08-16
I came from Eddie Murphy, stayed because it was real good, and spent a lot of time in-between stuck on the thought that we're supposed to think that Beyoncé isn't a good singer.
Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
Date watched: 2023-08-17
I don't like to get mad at movies, 'cuz I'm still real regretful of the days when Douglas "Funnyman" Walker was the single biggest influence on how I discussed film, but, gawd, this one jus' kind of overwhelmed me with nonsense to the point where I did.
Remember way back at the top, when I said that Bumblebee pissing on a guy wouldn't even be in the top 10 dumbest moments? I think this movie contains most of them, if not all ten. I mean, this is a movie that starts with drunk Merlin and digs deeper rapidly from there.
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Date watched: 2023-08-18
I watched this ahead of the podcast Escape From Vault Disney, so allow me to present my answer for the "what's the attraction?" segment.
As a new method of transport, one of the Disney parks is gonna install a huge bubble machine, where you can hop in and get blown around to a different land at random. And there's only a 10% chance you'll get dropped in a bowl of chip dip and hafta avoid getting vored by giant teen-age girls.
Alternatively, the damn tiki statue gets installed looming over the castle like it's Chicken Little.
Bumblebee (2018)
Date watched: 2023-08-21
Honestly, the best Transformers movie. And I'm not just saying that because it references ALF twice. It's very charming, not even despite, but because it's a largely cliché take on "kid makes friend with a beast" movies, especially the ones that came out in the 80's.
Like ALF.
Super Mario Bros. (1993)
Date watched: 2023-08-22
Look, as an adaptation of the games, yeah, it's dogshit. But making the near impossible attempt to put that aside, it's not that bad. Not, y'know, great, but I think this film's badness is blown way out of proportion. Even if a lot of it doesn't 100% work, I feel like I gotta give it some credit for trying to put its own cinematic spin on what are pretty non-cinematic games.
And seriously, I was not prepared for when the Twin Towers started decaying.
Sonic The Hedgehog (2020)
Date watched: 2023-08-24
Y'know, I've eaten at Olive Garden before, but it was so long ago that I can't remember how any of it actually tasted. I just remember that the game I was playing on my DS before and afterwards was New Super Mario Bros..
Anyway, this is a movie about the fastest thing alive where he spends, like, a third of the movie's runtime in a truck passenger seat, and also he has the same voice as Dewey Duck. Some people say this is better than Birds Of Prey? Man, it's fine, but calm the hell down.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022)
Date watched: 2023-08-25
Yeah, this is the better movie of the two. Since all of the introductions out of the way, it allows for so many more elements of the games to be included, and naturally it makes it feel way more like a Sonic movie than the first's whole "family road trip movie" vibe.
And all the credit to Jim Carrey, really. I wish he'd gotten to wear a fat suit like he wanted, but seriously, if you were gonna have anybody playing against anthropomorphic cartoon animals, you may as well get one of the most cartoonish men alive. Even if I did end up variously hearing a lot of Count Olaf or The Grinch in his performance.
Anyway, see y'all in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 when we finally get to see the big screen debut of what is clearly and obviously Sonic.EXE~.
Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts (2023)
Date watched: 2023-08-25
A preface: during the scene before the credits rolled, I came up with two jokes I wanted to say to my friends to refer to the "secret military force" or whatever that was being talked about. I decided to go with the second and say "G.U.N" since it was a runner for me that the film that the main character and his little brother would refer to themselves as Sonic and Tails.
Now, look, up until this movie's climax, I was willing to call it the second best of the modern Transformers films. Yes, even with the presence of Pete Davidson, and with how most of the Maximals end up superfluous, and with how the villains turn into absolute cardboard during the climax, which just largely consists of CGi flopping around on a dull, grey landscape. I liked the first two acts a lot, and I felt the material there was a lot stronger than a lot of the Bay films.
But then imagine how much worse this movie got for me when it turned out the first joke I thought of that I didn't go with because I thought it'd be too obvious turned out to be true and that it was actually G.I. Joe.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Date watched: 2023-08-26
Sure, it might be Illumination's best movie, but for me it still just largely amounts to someone jangling a keyring of Mario-branded baubles in my face for 90 minutes.
Mortal Kombat (1995)
Date watched: 2023-08-28
As I'm writing this, it's been a month since I saw this movie, and I'm only now getting around to writing about it so I can post this. At this point, I don't really remember much about it, which you can also blame on the fact that I was really tired for some reason the first time I sat down to watch it. Seriously, I had to stop and pick it up later, and I have no idea why.
I'll say this much about this movie—I was probably being too hard on it when I watched it. Like, I was stuck on this mentality that, "Oh, this is a famously bad movie. Not as much as its sequel, of course, but it's not good, and I should probably just view it that way." And I regret that. These days I try so hard to has little bias as possible going into movies, so I don't know what I was thinking acting like that.
It's an enjoyable movie. It really is. Whatever it gets wrong about the games, it's not so egregious that it destroys the movie. Honestly, I'd rather it get a couple of things wrong than be so committed to being faithful to the games that it forgets to do anything else all that well. Lookin' at you again, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. So, whatever. I can live with it.
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, probably less so, but I'll see what I think if I ever watch it.
And also, of course the soundtrack CD by The Immortals that scores part of this movie is amazing. "OOOOHHH, CHINESE NINJA WARRIOR, SUB-ZEROOOO, WITH YOUR HEART SO COLD....!"

What are the types of content management systems?
As mentioned above, CMSs fall into categories, based on the complexity of the content being managed and the requirements for distribution of that content. Let’s take a look at how these categories differ:
Web publishing tools
Most of these CMSs originated as platforms for simple blogging and evolved into more sophisticated platforms for web development. As a development platform, they were designed to be “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG), meaning they do not require background coding skills like HTML or PHP.
Instead, the user fills out forms within the interface and uses visual controls to tell the database how to display the content. These forms are specialized for different types of content, for example, a form for images that includes space for captions and areas to fill in metadata about the image, to enable visually impaired people to understand the content. Examples include:
WordPress: A free open-source CMS that is estimated to drive content delivery on over 30% of all global websites.
Drupal: A more technically oriented web CMS similar to WordPress.
Google Drive: Though initially designed as a replacement suite of software tools like spreadsheets and word processors, Drive has several things in common with a CMS, including content organization tools, collaboration capabilities, and digital distribution capabilities.
DITA systems
DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) was created as a CMS standard by IBM in the early 2000s to help them manage over 70 million pieces of content. IBM open-sourced the standard and underlying code and there are now commercial versions available, typically sold as SaaS subscription software for enterprises.
Proprietary enterprise CMSs
These CMSs are usually designed for specific business models and security requirements like the production of products for military use. They may be customized versions of systems like DITA systems that vary from the regulated architecture standard.
How does a CMS integrate with a translation workflow?
Most CMSs allow a user to break down content into “chunks” (referred to as “types” in DITA systems) of information based on its function. This is useful in translation and localization management because these chunks can be sent to translation management systems for translation via APIs (application programming interfaces). The latter help systems communicate with each other.
This streamlines the flow of information through a translation workflow and back into the CMS for publishing and management. Some systems are designed to flow content directly into a translation memory database while maintaining version control. From there, it can be sent to translators and reviewers before round-tripping back to the CMS.
How does a CMS manage different types of content?
The more sophisticated CMSs ask the creator of the content to define each piece of content by type. A type might be a task list, a legal disclaimer, an explanation, or a media type like a video. These chunks of content can be organized with maps that link them together to create documents like a manual. These docs may share content pieces like a disclaimer and a safety statement, then add a customized ordered task list like assembly instructions.
By having each piece of a larger document treated as a piece of data, the system can allow the reuse of chunks like legal disclaimers in a variety of documents or places. Reuse is particularly beneficial with translated content as it eliminates duplicate translations of commonly used text that might appear in multiple documents or knowledge bases.
What is the return on investment (ROI) of a CMS?
Although there is a learning curve for any of these tools, the return for the user and their business or organization is significant. It is measurable financially by savings in time to create and publish content, by the ability to get products to market faster by streamlining the documentation development processes, and by the elimination of errors and omissions.
Errors and omissions in content development can often be traced to things like using email attachments to transmit content between parties. Each of these attachments creates a new version of the content and, as changes are made to it, version control becomes a problem.
With a CMS there is a centralized data warehouse of content that is accessed remotely rather than via an attachment. This functionality alone is critical to managing processes like translation into multiple languages where errors can multiply.
The use of CMSs has become standard across most businesses as legacy tools like MS Word and email become difficult to track when you have large quantities of content. However, even these legacy systems are now adding capabilities that effectively turn them into basic CMSs.
