Kurt Vonnegut speaks of friction
Someone could probably write a book (if they haven’t already) about the cycle of technology productizing the removal of friction in the name of convenience only for us to discover that the friction was a load-bearing part of the social compact.

This argument is so stupid because *Lachie* knew that it was the GF he might miss. This isn't new and unreasonably harsh this is the readily available and predictable outcome everyone, *including Lachie*, was already aware of.
All of the Lions' case so far has been about how the Tribunal just didn't factor in enough the fact Neale would miss an AFL Grand Final.

Maybe Lachie didn't give enough regard to the fact that it was the Grand Final the next week when he decided to strike that other player.
The Lions are arguing no regard was had to the fact Neale would miss an AFL Grand Final as a result of the Tribunal upholding the charge.

I need FX to realise that they have a generational show in their hands and give us at least 50 more episodes with these characters #adultsfx

"Out of due caution" is a strange way to phrase "we physically can't stop ourselves sexually harassing women".
They requested no female staff be working out of due caution? Whatever you think of the vision that detail is so damning to me. Would love the risk to be explained out to me… and then be told we don’t have a cultural problem going on.

This time last year, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that releasing movies in theaters was "an outmoded idea for most people" and that consumers wanted "to watch movies at home." Today, movie theaters have scored their biggest weekend of all time at the global box office.

Stop protecting men from the consequences of their own actions and decisions.
Three "highly credentialed" sportsmen have been granted a court order barring the ABC from publishing a story, detailing group chat messages which shared “crude descriptions of sexual acts and domestic violence”. Story: bit.ly/4eVHk1j

i do want a letterboxd-style experience for tv shows but they should make a separate app for that. letterboxd works cause it’s dedicated to movies and by adding tv shows it would feel cluttered and messy
