After 30 years, behold your biggest ally in the unauthorized downloading war, the wget wrapper:    #!/bin/sh wget --tries=0 --retry-connrefused --continue --no-use-server-timestamps --no-check-certificate $@ The protocol for downloading prerecorded twitter videos is pretty gnarly.  They use 2 different m3u8 files for audio & video, but the network log is flooded with hundreds of m3u8 files by the auto recommender & different resolutions.  It got lions pondering the use of language models to extract media files from the ponderous javascript.  You could probably prompt your way to a source level video downloader, with enough effort. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  After 3 years, the lion kingdom uneventfully returned to daily runs at a 9 minute pace.  The mane factors seemed to be a bunch of 7:30-8:30 flat miles, 2g vitamin C, stretching, some slow 18 mile efforts, lack of time ...

 Discovered Wolf 1994 while searching for Michelle Pfeiffer's body count.   As another scraggly old paw emerged on screen, the lion kingdom pondered how this was another geriatric get together from Nicholson's later career.  But no, it was Pfeiffer after hitting 35, dear god.      The object of every Nicholson movie after 1980 was to get him to make as many crazy facial expressions as possible.  What could be crazier than making him turn into a werewolf?      57 year old Jack obviously had a stunt double doing the running scenes.  He was pretty fried by 1990.    There were some nifty views inside the Bradbury building Not to be confused with Bladerunner.  Old Westbury mansion.  The Pfeiffer cottage may have been a movie set.  Nothing on IMDB matched it.  After a ponderously slow exposition, the ending took the L train.   A lion.   Twin towers in 1993. Nicholson got to look crazy a few mor...

   Didn't know the master of looking perplexed, Anderson Cooper was an heir to the Vanderbilt fortune, 5 generations down.  His mother Gloria Vanderbilt was briefly married to Leopold Stokowski.  The enemy of the rich is the rich.   There was a photo of her in an opulent NY apartment.  He wasn't afraid to say she never went near the subway except once.  Oh the number of millionaires who ride it today, even to JFK. The Vanderbilt fortune only grew for 2 generations.  It was gradually whittled down ever since.  Lions only pondered this after Wolf contained footage of a Vanderbilt mansion. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Speaking of body counts,   https://www.tiktok.com/@yourowkelsey     World class trophy wife.  Helas,    the tomboy outfit came off & the magic was gone.  31 year olds definitely pop after 51.  Lions were decidedly ...

 Dreamed about getting hugged from behind & pulled back by Trophy Wife.  Tried to lean back & get lifted but she didn't try.  Then she was saying something like "we're too connected.  You can't go."  Tried to imagine what Trophy Wife looked like after 40, since she aged out of the grid long ago.  Could imagine she aged out of the polyamorous billionaire pool & became a cat lady. The goog showed her now renting in a 90 year old building but a lot more spacious than what lions have.  Need bathroom ventilation?  Open a window.  Need parking?  Fuggedaboudit.  A lifetime on a secretary income is a rough go. The attainable women were never able bodied enough to do anything depicted in any dream.  The worst thing that can happen is falling in love or having heavenly mother force you to hit on someone who wants you to fuck off, to keep your job. Trophy wife drained her inheritance on 6 months of travel & was an armchair...

  The lion kingdom's bulk order of balsa 20 years ago was never used.      The coroplast was last used in 2020 for the weather station.    It's time to get serious about using up the last of the last 26 years of building materials.  The retirement account has remaned on track to end this party in 4 years.  Helas, the inverter is going to require new coroplast.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    You must make this much to ride this ride.  Never forget the hottie who waited until 38 so she could bang a double masters or the number of child births being delayed until after 40 for higher male income.  Male income premium doesn't apply to the top 1%.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sutro cam made avoiding the city a no brainer.  Always a 1% chance a cold front coul...

 Started working on Amityville Horror 1979.  Seeing video stores promoting the hell out of it throughout the 80's, young lion pondered why the parents never rented it.  IMDB ranked it higher than Apex.  It didn't take long for it to get up to 2x.   Was delighted to see a young Strickland.  Didn't that guy ever have hair?  He was only in 30 seconds. Then a funny scene debating the merits of spending $80k on a house.  It's currently in the mid $1M's & blocked from a direct zillow address search. So basically, anything just $1M today is the scene of a mass murder.  The creepy windows in the real house were replaced at some point.  Between supermen 1 & 2, cigarette burning Lois Lane had to trudge through the shawshank sewer of amityville.  We forget 1 reason everyone was skinny 50 years ago was because they all smoked. Despite its low IMDB rating & boredom, it actually was a financial success, probably from the amount of pro...
