Advocacy for a best-stunt-ensemble academy award sounds swell and all, but what’s to prevent that from leading to a stunts arms race that will simultaneously lead to more work and prestige in the field and absolutely lead to more people getting hurt?
Thin steel frame, no air bags, no crumple zones.

Post-it notes. One pack is enough for like a third of the plane.
Periodic office hours are tremendously helpful as well.
Block an hour, once or twice a week, for people to come by an ask you (and your team) about literally anything they want. And open it to everyone at your organization. Have your team stop answering one-off questions and tell people to bring it to office hours.
Team leads and tpms should help with logistics, messaging and hand-slapping.
I’m genuinely disappointed that Asbestos Cafe is basically forbidden now. That’d be a solid name for a hardcore alcoholic vegan bar.
The web version of themoviedb.org has been my go-to for a while now. No app though.
I worked for Akamai for 7 years.
This is why, if your CDN infra is core to the operation of your business, you make your systems accommodate multi-CDN integration. Cutting one CDN off shouldn’t be significantly difficult, and it comes in handy during contract negotiations. All the major players work this way.
I’m a big Zulip advocate. I was using it globally at my previous employer for a global org and it’s pretty great.
Quick reminder; there’s a Lemmy community for a straight-dope feed of tv, movie and game trailers: !trailers@lemmy.blahaj.zone

That cable management is horrendous. Pull them out.
The current generation of the ford mustang Mach-e has its mobile telemetry cellular antenna wired to an isolated fuse that you can just pull out to kill it. I was astonished to learn how straight forward the process is supposed to be.
I’m a liberal WA resident, and there’s entirely too much influence here by big tech for me to trust national legislation regarding privacy baselines coming from legilators based within my state.
This is the sort of area where I’d like to see legislation forged from a partnership between a fiercely left-leaning state that supports individual rights (OR? MA?) and a similar libertarian-leaning right-wing state that shares similar beliefs on individual liberties (WY? MT?).
Not to mention Chicken Tikka Masala.
American audiences are no longer the sole demographic for Hollywood. The audience is global, and high budget films are planned with that in mind. The lowest common denominator is the result.
During his Academy Award speech, Cord Jefferson (who won for the American Fiction screenplay) argued for more low-budget films at the cost of a single big-budget mess. More movies means more types of stories, allowing more niches to be filled. It also creates more industry jobs, and deepens the bench with talent development.
The best way to come up with good ideas is to figure out how to have a lot of ideas in the first place.
The Production Design category had me scratching my head about why Barbie didn’t take it until I remembered the Mattel headquarters. That was one part that felt under-thought. Every square inch of Poor Things was a feast for the eyes.
The real stinker award was Best Animated Short going to a wish.com Christmas Truce story based on John Lennon and Yoko Ono songs about how war sucks. All of the other nominees were better films.
If you have the option, watch it with a good pair of headphones. The subtle audio design really makes it and you can lose that if your speaker setup isn’t tip-top. Headphones really help.
Including his sexual assault victims?
