  • Lynch didn’t go anywhere beyond rushing to the end of part 2 and contributed to the problem where everyone thinks Dune is “Paul and his cool mom Jessica defeat bad yucky guys” story.

    Villeneuve might have botched part 2 by making it too much of a Hollywood flick while also refusing to do any sort of exposition beyond dialogue in a true Villeneuve fashion. Based on interviews he seems to be one of the few people that understand that this story is not finished without Messiah.

    Not going to defend the show though. It’s another production where I have no idea who the target audience is. People who like Dune and Kardashians?



















  • This looks like either a bug in the platform or people with Premium Lite. The article made no attempt at investigating this because all they did was to reprint complaints from anonymous people on Reddit. Customer support offering boilerplate reply about why someone is seeing ads sounds like par for the course here because it’s all either LLM chatbots or people in third world countries who couldn’t care less.










  • I have no idea about internal workings of german politics but isn’t it the time for CDU-SPD coalition? I know it happened before and unity government is something that would be the most reasonable way out. It might be my bias talking though. While I identify as socialist I respect true Christian democrats for their social policies. I don’t believe any major party can reasonably advocate for debt brakes in current conditions. Are CDU that far gone really?
