I'm intrigued. And although I read the article, I'm not entirely sure who or what this is for. It's cool, but... what?

The general attitude that "British English is correct" and Americans are wrong, is one of the most absurd things I've ever experienced. English is inconsistent enough as it is, so don't claim your inconsistency of spelling and pronunciation is somehow superior. Believe it or not, withing linguistics you don't make the rules.

Kagi! You can block websites so they don't show up. It'll also flag websites that contain a lot of spam or ads.

I've had a consistently unbiased experience with Tangle: https://www.readtangle.com/about/

Wellll I don't entirely agree. Ever been to IKEA and had a cart full of furniture? It takes every bit of strength my strong body can manage to take a turn without sliding out of control sideways and knocking over five display units and three children. The non-turning back wheels make turns more manageable. Carts should work like cars, front wheels turn, back wheels don't. I submit this comment as sacrifice.

I'm clearly out of touch with the world. Over half of these got an audible groan out of me when I watched the trailers.

Strictly from a viewer's perspective, I use a YouTube client alternative (like GrayJay, Freetube, NewPipe) and subscribe only to the channels I want to see content from. Then I can look at video suggestions for given videos to see relevant content. This entirely removes me from the algorithm as well as any personalization that would put me in an echo chamber. I also branch out to reliable and unbiased news sources, better search engine alternatives, and so on.

Lord of the Rings (movies) came out this century. Let's give credit where credit is due.

LadyBird can't come soon enough.

I wonder what the ratio is between men who want to become filmmakers and women who want to become filmmakers, and if it's actually 50/50.

Audiences want good movies, and often don't care who writes or directs them. It'd be a mistake to say the reason for the low percentage "is because sexism" on such a multifaceted situation. A quick web search says only about 15% of all filmmakers are women, so this statistic sounds about right. Either not enough women are interested, or not enough get the opportunity.

Crazy thing is, Wukong plays like a giant boss rush. Yet I adore it because the difficulty is so incredibly honed in and boss attacks are so well projected. Sounds like Sekiro didn't refine their difficulty quite well enough.
