  • I have an unpopular take. I liked the first, loved the second, and thought this was a trainwreck. The marketing was misleading. The movie was tonally all over the place. Jodie Comer was used as a prop. I thought the new zombie archetypes were cringey, e.g. “We call these ones the Alphas.” (Are they developing a video game?) The editing of the action scenes was sloppy - an Alpha is sprinting at you, but you have time to stop and talk about who’s going to shoot the arrow? I don’t want semi-sentient zombies with nicknames, I don’t want anyone holding hands with mommy zombies.

    I may give it another watch at some point, but on first watch I was confused and disappointed.





  • I know someone who just got hired at an unfinished Meta data center, ostensibly to do some low-level hardware monitoring and maintenance. His boss admitted that he accidentally hired people a couple months too early, so the first couple weeks have consisted of sitting around, eating free food and playing mobile games. Next week they’re being flown to an active data center out of state, but they won’t have much of their own work to do for another 4-6 weeks.

    So these guys are being paid $25/hr, 40hrs a week, with a free lunch, and making no money for the company. I would expect any other company to find this unacceptable, but it’s just a drop in the bucket for Meta.
