  • I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.

    I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment















  • Temple Grandin (2010) - Very good as far as biopics go

    The Great Dictator (1940) - Had never actually watched the whole thing, it was better than I expected. Powerful speech at the end. Mussolini hilariously done. Striking to know that this movie predates the worst that the Nazis would do to the Jews

    Cyrano (1990) - Blown away by Depardieu’s performance. This is a phenomenal version of a classic story. Best version I’ve seen so far, including the plays of this I’ve been to
