I won't bore you with another vibecoding post, but you can read Peter's post about how that went. As fun as it was, it also was frustrating in other ways and in entire predictable ways. It became a meme about how much I hated working with Xcode for this project. This got me thinking quite a bit more that th

Charlize Theron’s 6 Best Genre Roles

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-12 05:20:16

Charlize Theron can do any genre—she has an Oscar for playing a serial killer, and she gave a standout comedic performance on Arrested Development. She’s also a gifted action star, as seen in her appearances in Atomic Blonde and the Fast & Furious movies, a series which skirts the edge of sci-fi. But you don’t need to qualify anything when it comes to Theron’s fondness for sci-fi and fantasy.
