Bondi Icebergs is the most photographed pool in the world. This is where generations of children have learnd to swim, where the diehard have braved the frigid waters of one hundred winters, where the young and beautiful have come to bond and bake in the hot sun. THE POOL is a stunning cinematic experience with a soundtrack that harks back to the 1960s and a cast of characters who each have a story to tell. It speaks to the enduring power of community and our collective longing to find it. No matter your background or where you’re at – everyone is equal in their swimsuits.

Now get the fuck out of my office!
One of the things I was most curious about with this series was the animation style they were choosing to use. Hiroshi Nagahama used rotoscoping to make Flowers of Evil, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. The mouth movements would have been better - they actually look pretty rough in spots here. Motion capture or vtuber tech maybe?

Remember folks, check your sources.
I am one of those obese people, and it seems so achingly unfair.
I am an active person. I eat similar foods and quantities as my peers, with drastically different results. I drink water, not soda or juice. I basically stopped drinking coffee, but when I did, it was always plain black. The only weight loss success I’ve had was spending a year on a keto diet, which my doctor swears was slowly killing me (salt, sulfites, etc). My doctor says I have mild hypothyroidism, but not bad enough to call for treatment.
I have been overweight my entire life, living in a world that fundamentally believes that this is entirely my fault. I don’t know how to convey the hopelessness that people like me have to live with, and the resolve that it requires to keep making healthy choices in spite of it, and never seeing beneficial results.
I don’t know how to get off this ride. All I ask is for other people to not believe I am a lazy shameless grotesque person for being forced to ride it.
I've been following this series. Queer culture varies from region to region, so it was really tricky to watch the show without projecting the concept of a western trans identity onto the main character.
It took the full length of the first season before Makoto articulates his identity (genderqueer from what I can surmise - a man with he/him pronouns who prefers feminine presentation... mostly), with the option floated to him of being able to live "as a woman," but with no specifics given to the cultural context of that phrase.
It would be really cool to get commentary on this show from Japanese queer folks who can speak to the language choices and cultural context behind this show.
I'm waaaay more interested in that than a movie.
Ive been waiting for years now for Valve to release a next gen headset before getting into VR (rather than paying top dollar for a legacy platform) and the industry is running laps around itself.
I live in the residential area within the limits of a large US city.
To the nearest convenience store: 0.9 km
To the nearest chain supermarket: 2.6 km
To the bus stop: 0.3 km
To the nearest park: 0.8 km
To the nearest big supermarket: 3.1 km
To the nearest library: 2.7 km
To the nearest train station: 2.9 km
And I'd argue that these numbers are remarkably good for people in my situation as well.

I spotted a documentary that addresses the language issue at a tangential level that I put in the trailers community earlier last week…
It is utterly atrocious that McSweenys had to assemble this list before any actual news outlet.
What did the Daily Show do?

I choose to interpret this as even prominent Republicans are now willing to admit that trans people are hottt.

When he's the one paying for it.
“I hadn’t met him before. I’m saying, ‘What’s it gonna be like?’ because he was also a producer of the show, big fan of the original, working on it for 10 years."
So many better sequel titles available here.
