Rolling Stone estimated that it was 80% done before Amy Seimetz left, which is still a awful lot to just throw away. I'm not sure I'd want to watch the original version, but I'd happily watch a documentary about what went wrong.

To the extent it was ever Barbie vs. Oppenheimer, Barbie has very clearly won - by twice the revenue in whichever field you want to look in.

It's presented in the article as such, yes. It's the find something, literally anything, nice to say first strategy by the looks of it.

Apple do seem to take some online criticism of their shows onboard. I assume this is why I've seen comments that season 2 of Invasion is remarkably different from Season 1.

For Foundation, things like Gaal's redundant voice-overs are largely gone. There's less of noticeable difference in quality between Trantor and Foundation (in that, for me, the outer planets stories aren't as bad, but the empire stories aren't as good).

I like the new, sweary, bantering, characters, and that Jared Harris is given a bit more to do. That said, I've not read the books, but even I can tell that the the radical things they're doing with the Demerzel character are unlikely to be popular.

Dunno what most of the new stuff is (apart from psybient of course).
Maybe the experimental list (using users_active_month) is better: https://feddit.nl/post/2496635 (Day 4)

An interesting thing about Lemmy is that if you delete your comment, it also nukes every comment underneath it. So if you say something, and then people are giving you a hard time about it, and then you go out for a walk and are still annoyed about it, you can self-destruct and take them with you (this isn't based on a true story of course, but if it was, I'd say it's terrible in that it discourages engagement and deletes someone else's actually-correct info, but it's a good way to get over it all)

Yeah, I pasted your original URL into here, and converted it to a WEBP file (with smaller dimensions), and then re-hosted again at catbox.

Lemmy has some support for webp, although I don't think you can't upload them directly to an instance.

As an inline image? (very browser / app dependent of course)

[–] freamon 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You too, of course.

But, no, it does nothing for after something like this that has already happened. It was just more of a pie-in-the-sky solution to it ever happening in the first place.

Looks like you're right. Full speech:

On this day several years ago, the Empire was defeated thanks to the heroic efforts of Commander Ezra Bridger, who sacrificed himself to liberate our world.
This monument we dedicate here today stands in recognition of Commander Bridger and the rebel leaders who fought so valiantly on our behalf.
May their courage and commitment never be forgotten.
