Yes, the whole thing is especially frustrating because the app was quite nice. Harriette did a really good job really quickly.

Not much good at anything, but incredible at self-promotion so people think he is

A friend of mine once made what I thought was an absolutely brilliant observation: "Self-promotion is the only skill that is consistently rewarded."

I think governmental organizations should do the same. It's absurd that FEMA or whoever essentially has to rely of Elon's goodwill.

I remember Damien Chazelle saying that they had considered an intermission for Babylon but that there was no natural break point in the story. Having seen it, I can state with perfect confidence that it does contain an appropriate point for an intermission at just the right time. I suspect that Chazelle just couldn’t bear the thought of the audience not watching his opus straight through.
