my checking account is called my Lamborghini account and my savings is called my Hollywood hills account. when I have to go to the bank they see that shit. if they knew if was from this dumb fucking video I think they would execute me
I apologize in advance for overhyping it but this is the hardest I’ve laughed at an internet video in months

thhhhhhhh
In fact, I’m a lot more proud of these seven new Hollywood hills that I had to get installed to hold 2000 new Lamborghinis.
(mouth moves without talking)
UH
It’s like the -Buffett- Warren -Billionaire- says. The more you earn, the more you
DRIVE UP HERE IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS
in fact, the real reason I keep this Lamborghini here
is
the real reason I keep this -Lamborghini- here, is that it’s a reminder. A reminder that dreaers are still possible. Because it wasn’t that long ago, that I was in a little Lamborghini, sleeping on bookshelves in the Hollywood hills
with only 47 billion dollars in my bank account
and only 47 Lamborghinis in my Lamborghini account
and only 47 hills in my Hollywood account
and only 47 ((TedX talks where I talk about Warren Buffett)) in my ((TedX talks where I talk about Warren Buffett)) account
But you know what? Something happened that changed my life. I bumped into a Lamborghini. And another Lamborghini. A few more Lamborghinis: I found 5 Lamborghinis.
I don’t call it money anymore, I call it fuel units.
You must have enough fuel units
You must have enough Lamborghinis
you must CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
I’ll see ya on my website’s quick video, and you’ll there you’ll see uh, absolutely
Imagine belonging to a species that don’t reproduce sexually so no-one has parents or children and the whole idea is kinda gross to you. And then you find out that you and ONLY you do have a dad, and not only that! But your dad is a giant spider. Well that happened to my buddy Springer.
fireplace is such a funny word for that. i mean yeah lets not beat around the bush here; its a fire place. the place for fire. the place chosen especially to have fire. fireplace.
I’ve been teaching Belphie not to jump on Pangur, cause she’s old and arthritic and doesn’t like it. and as part of my “training”, I’ve been giving him a treat every times he stops his evil actions and trots over to me.
I thought I was training him to come when called. in actuality, I’ve been training him to bite Pangur. so now he’ll jump on her, chew her ear, and then make bird-of-prey eye contact with me from across the room. and the worst thing is I’VE ALSO BEEN GIVING PANGUR A TREAT EACH TIME (so she doesn’t feel left out). which means that she’ll whimper pathetically from Belphie biting her, and then also make intense eye contact with me, because she’s been conditioned to expect treats afterward.
I have accidentally made the most fucked up dynamic possible with both of these cats.
literally trained them both to perform seasons greasons. this is horrible
I actually do feel like the “unemployed friend on a Tuesday” meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don’t have a job you’re more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there’s a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

It may very well be just a small side short and a preview to the other instalments but man it really shows and punctuates the bond of Jumba and Stitch so well. Like father and son and it’s so wholesome 🥺
Crazy how this same dude genuinely mocked and wanted to capture and destroy Stitch in the first film. One of the things I liked about L&S 2 was how the Ohana worked and how far Stitch and Jumba, the two evil beings have changed so much for the better and how Jumba has grown to care for his newfound family.
My summary of The Murderbot Diaries so far, three books in:
Murderbot: I can’t believe I have to keep these humans from getting themselves killed. Everywhere I go, there are humans who need protecting and this cuts into really valuable media consumption time. This is so annoying.
Everything in the universe, including Murderbot’s own presumably unprecedented free will: You could just not protect the humans.
Murderbot: … No.
(And it’s great.)
Pls enjoy this excerpt from The Murderbot Diaries, 2nd or 3rd one:
As a security guard who has read the first two Murderbot books, Murderbot has been the number one most realistic security specialist character I have ever seen in media so far 😭
The third most annoying thing in security in my experience is handling threats. The second most annoying thing is having no threats to handle and being bored. The number one most annoying thing is the client being an idiot
Ihave social anxiety which I am medicated for. When I am in uniform with clear instructions, that anxiety is zero. I have a script and a set of rules and that makes life easy. I’m super good at performing tasks with clear expectations and that’s kinda how I keep getting good offers, it’s super straightforward
Bad clients are clients who give stupid, inefficient, counterproductive, cruel, or flat-out illegal orders. There are ways of shutting that shit down without them losing heir shit, but it’s still a pain in the ass every time
I’m a security specialist. I specialize in security. This is what I am trained for- handling crisis situations and minimizing harm. If you, an off-shift cashier at pet smart, see me deescalating a situation and decide you’re gonna drop your untrained uninformed ass in there with zero context or skills and “help” because I look small and helpless, then all you’re doing is increasing my likelihood of getting hurt while increasing my paperwork load by like two hours, and I’m gonna hate you the entire time. What you have essentially done is promoted me to meat shield while giving the aggressor I’m calming down an obnoxious and aggravating hostage. Good god please do not
Yes, I am sometimes asked to stand perfectly still in a corner for several hours like a mannequin. What do I do to avoid going insane? Think about Star Trek and the very good fanfiction I’ll be reading on my break, mostly
Yes I can assist in evacuating tw location in the event of an environmental disaster. No I cannot tell my waiter that they put cilantro on the wrong order. Yes this makes perfect sense
I love Murderbot. I love how realistic it is. Like obviously I can’t speak for everyone in the industry but yeah I’ve worked for absolute dogshit security companies in the past and yeah a lot of the books so far are super accurate to that experience so A+ so far, honestly
Did you know that tomato seeds can start sprouting from inside the fruit?? This happens when a tomato is overripe and has run out of the hormone that keeps seeds dormant (this phenomenon is called vivipary)
see, as an autistic person i fully sympathise with and shudder with murderbot in the forced-eye-contact scene, and i want to shake gurathin for it. but i also find it hilarious how obviously gurathin is also torturing himself. he also hates eye contact. he hates this too he’s just chanting ‘it’s necessary it’s necessary it’s necessary’ to himself to get through it the whole time. and it’s not even helping anything!
I actually love the change the show made to when SecUnit shows up in the hub and Ratthi says, “Who is this?” Turns out Ratthi was being cute and SecUnit just took it literally. Brilliant. The galaxy’s least reliable narrator strikes again.
that’s one of my favorite changes so far too, and how I always interpreted that interaction. it didn’t quite make sense that Ratthi wouldn’t recognize SecUnit, or if not, be VERY alarmed that an actual stranger just walked in. conclusion: Ratthi’s “who is this?” was always meant to be “holy fuck it’s hot”
while murderbot tv show is definitely a comedy, i find it low-key depressing that murderbot’s idea of what freedom is comes exclusively from the dramas it watches. it imagines what it might do if it were free from the company, but the only reference it has are overblown, overdramatic characters from its videos. it doesn’t know what true freedom looks like, only a cheap, commercial imitation.
My favorite part of the Murderbot show so far is how they do the music. Fighting against the sandworm? Dramatic music. Having to make small talk with any of the PresAux crew? Also dramatic music. Talking to Gurathin and having to make eye contact? Straight up horror movie vibes.
Just realized why I’ve been struggling with the pacing of ‘Murderbot’, and it’s because I was applying the wrong pacing rules. Sitting at around 22 minutes, I was expecting sitcom pacing (A plot, B plot, maybe C plot, wrapped up by the end of the episode). But that’s not at all what this is.
It’s an old-school adventure serial! It’s paced just like ‘Doctor Who’ in the classic era, with an ongoing story chopped into 22 minute bits, ending on a cliffhanger each week to keep the audience coming back. How fun! I can’t think of the last show that was doing that; that method of television storytelling more or less died out in the 80s/90s.
I’m a little too young to have watched those serials as they came out, and have only ever watched them in a binge on DVD (or less … official means), so of course I’m finding it easier to watch ‘Murderbot’ in a binge. But now that I understand the pacing, I’m actually looking forward to knowing what it would have been like to be an audience member as one of the old serials came out in bite-sized, nail-biting chunks every week.
It’s my personal theory that Art hadn’t actually intended to introduce itself to SecUnit until it started watching Worldhoppers.
Minor spoilers for Network Effect ahead, proceed at your own risk.
The thing is that Art’s existence is the biggest secret that the university has. Is that really the sort of thing you go announcing to random rogue SecUnits you just met?
Sure Art CLAIMS later that it wanted to make sure that SecUnit didn’t attempt to hack its system, but why would it do that? It didn’t try to hack it to get onboard. It hadn’t shown any interest in any of its data. As far as SecUnit knew it was just a bot piloted cargo ship. And even if it had a reason to try, there’s no way it could have actually hacked it. It’s Art.
So maybe you met a surprisingly polite rogue SecUnit, who asked you for a ride. Maybe you’re a very bored transport that was just handed a very interesting data collection opportunity. Maybe you let it onboard and study it a little in secret. THat all makes sense.
But you know what Art CAN’T do in secret? It can’t watch media through SecUnit’s feed. Its presence is incredibly obvious, like a much larger person watching your personal display over your shoulder while leaning on you, according to SecUnit.
So you’ve got a rogue SecUnit onboard, you’re all ready to secretly watch it and gather data, when suddenly it starts watching a cool looking show about research transports. Now you realise there’s a once in a lifetime opportunity here; a chance to watch a cool looking show with additional data that will actually allow you to process the emotional context of it. This is literally never going to happen again. What’s an asshole research transport to do? Not watch it? Hell no. But once the SecUnit knows that there’s a sentient intelligence onboard, there’s a much higher risk of it trying to hack the systems. So you have to get in ahead of it and make sure it doesn’t try any funny business.
I 100% believe that this is what happened, and no amount of canon evidence will dissuade me from it. Art is a nerd and it compromised its university’s security for TV, fight me.
I feel like I’m starting to get into the vibe of the show as its own thing, but omg the shortness of eps!!
Ep 4 gets the award for the most chaotic evade-the-bad-guy sequence ever LOL. While Murderbot is over here singing the Sanctuary Moon theme song (🤣) everybody on the team is all I CAN HELP! And then they sort of help! But sort of fail! But no really it winds up helping! Mostly! I do love the absolute sincerity of the characters, even when they’re bad at something. Do it scared, do it stupid, but just do it.
