It really is remarkable how two giants of the industry lost so much so quickly.

I’m hoping Bluesky does join the fediverse just so I don’t have to jump between apps. Lemmy has been great, but people don’t comment as much. I miss that

I got fascinated by the Supreme Court and that led me to a lot of political and law podcasts. I am notably not a lawyer so I don’t know why I’m doing so many.

Oooh! I’ll have to do that!

How you liking Diablo 4? Will I like it if I liked D3?

Yeah the problem with pioneers is that everyone copies them. Even still, I found Rashomon engaging on its own merits. It even felt kind of like a silent film at times despite all the dialogue and music–probably because of how it studied its faces. Not entirely sure my wife did, but she doesn’t nerd out like me.

Seven Samurai and The Hidden Fortress are on my list for next to watch. I know Hidden Fortress influenced Star wars, so I’m excited for how many things feel old hat.

Listening to the four accountings in Rashomon made me feel like a reporter. There were convergences and divergences, but clearly they were responding to a real event. There’s a story going on, and yet everyone is also all liars. I loved it.

Grateful to see this post. Dogmas are passed down, which requires individual wrestling in a community. One of the realities of all faiths is they have some form of revelation, and Heschel himself has some great things to say about doctrines of revelation. Revelation changes how we solve problems as a community, the end result being dogmatics.
