Mortal Engines (2018, Netflix).
After WW3, London essentially gets converted into a humongous tank (2.5 km long) that roams across Europe and gobbles up smaller towns. WTH?
That's the gist. There are some sub-stories about an undead robot, a power-crazed scientist with a superweapon, a love story, daddy issues, etc. but all of those take a backseat to the gargantuan city-tank (and the special effects).
Visually impressive, less so otherwise.
4/10.

@pndc I admit it's been a while since I used Python extensively, but I didn't feel like the standard library was particularly bad? Any specific parts youre thinking of?

@cryptohagen apparently the one thing LLMs are really good at is finding vulnerabilities in open-source code 🙄

@gsuberland I've read about NOISFERATU today and I think that fits like a glove: https://hackaday.com/2026/06/30/bite-into-strange-sounds-with-noiseferatu/

"Wait... wasn't it... burn the _heretic_... and... stab the xeno... or... or..."
"Are you daft, Wulfric? Or did that psyker scramble your brains to mush? There's 10,000 Tyranids at the other end of the canyon, and they'll be here in 30 seconds. So you better grab your flamer and get ready to burn some xenos, unless you want to be canned bug fodder, har! FENRYS HJØLDA!"

@frogglin relatable 🤔

@abulling I've seen a bunch of students use them as cycle baskets, for example, seems to be trendy somehow? 🤷

Apparently so many people are "borrowing" milk crates from Arla that they now have started putting "Have you seen them?" ads on the milk cartons 🤭

Has anyone found a plausible explanation for why Trump is apparently sabotaging his own MOU with Iran before it's even halfway out of the gate? Did some right-wing talk radio nutjob call him out for not being tough enough, or has Putin complained about oil prices going down? The mind, it boggles... 🙄

@johl Chapeau, Berliner und Münchner in einem Streich beleidigt 😁👌

As a longtime member of our student association, I came back to the office after the summer break and noticed a bulging pack of iced tea on the window sill that had been fermenting in the sun for some weeks. 🫣
So I fetch a big wastebin, open the lid and put it next to the iced tea. Then v-e-r-y carefully pick up the pack and move it over the bin, drop it, and immediately slam the lid shut.
Half a second later, a distinct poof from inside. Felt like a bomb defuser 😎

@zzt not entirely undeserved, I might add 🙄

@thewetmale I'm mostly missing the context here (some right-wing nutjob I guess), but I just wanted to say I really appreciate Australian swearing, second to none 👌

@denzilferreira Awesome, thanks!

Mickey 17 (2025, Netflix).
Mickey is an Expendable in a space colony, which means he gets all the dangerous shit jobs and when he inevitably croaks, they just print a new clone of him. Unfortunately, #17 actually happens to survive an encounter with the local aliens but as everyone assumed he's turned into lunch, he now has to compete with #18...
Slightly messy blend of rom-com, slapstick, sci-fi, and social commentary, with a great Robert Pattinson.
7/10.
