This is so sad actually because everyone just assumes it’s a cheesy “man in a whale” movie but no, it’s deep as fuck and GENUINELY great cinema

where's the deed to the factory? where is your multimillion dollar conglomerate? you defend capitalism by attacking the consumption choices of those who fight for a more egalitarian system, but you have no capital!!
elon musk is the world’s best snake oil salesman. he scammed people in 2017 with the Tesla Roadster and here we are nine years later and he’s doing it AGAIN. it even has the same name but it’s not even a fucking roadster 😭 if you order this you’re a fucking moron
Trim Levels for Tesla's new flying Roadster:
Performance — $50,000 deposit
▪️ Active aero and a multi-mode suction system
Thrust — $250,000 deposit
▪️ Active aero and multi-mode suction system, plus acceleration thrusters
Rocket — Invite Only
▪️ Air ready with seating for one. Includes Performance and Thrust, plus full flight system

Anyone who didn’t immediately clock this should do some serious self reflecting
I hate to be the one to burst the Tesla bubble today, but the spectacular “flight” we witnessed at the Roadster reveal needs a little context. The car is carrying around 250kg of compressed air, plus the weight of the tanks, valves and thrusters needed to contain and release it.
Based on the published figures, that gives it roughly 1.5–2 seconds of maximum thrust before the system needs to be refilled.
In short, it's a gimmick.
celebrated one year with the love of my life in NYC 🥰 we got to stay at the best hotel in one of the best rooms and had a dinner that we’ll never forget

Bryan Cranston pays tribute to RJ Mitte
“I’m in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son on 'Breaking Bad' has died. I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm. Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never – ever – allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination"
“Always listening to the advice that his TV parents (Anna Gunn and myself) gave him – but being a teenager, sometimes mischievously ignoring the counsel in order to learn the hard way… He was one of the stars of a hit TV show – but still a kid. That kid was pretty raw when we started shooting the pilot in February of 2007, but little by little we watched him grow into a really fine actor. He parlayed his experience on the show to be a vocal advocate for performers with disabilities, and was the head of a philanthropic organization with a focus on helping the disabled community. All that promise and potential now is such a loss"
“It is especially devastating to hear that he took his own life,” he wrote. “Why? We were texting each other just a few weeks ago – figuring out when we could meet for lunch. I don’t know if that lunch would have changed his future… But I do know that I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on 'Breaking Bad' dimmed… I’ll miss you, son"
