there is no inherent morality to farm work, only to feeding people

ai is bad for a lot of reasons but β€œwill do the farming for us” is not one of them. that is basically the entire point of technology

it’s a just fine movie under normal circumstances but a perfect one for my current emotional needs lol (elderly classically trained actors being charming and sweet)

i have been having a bad few days and i am having just the most delightful time with this movie about old british people solving a murder to save their retirement community from a corrupt rich man after school special for boomers style

labored over this to write it well but couldn’t manage it. you take some things for granted

it’s hardly the most flatly important loss but one that feels cuttingly indicative. the us isn’t a place for scientists to come together to enjoy the fact that the work very often involves being silly and weird anymore

is that too much to ask

outstanding. i wish i could watch it again for the first time

would you believe i watched all of this in one sitting like three weeks ago lol (it was ok, a little light)

i would flatly accept a new branagh one honestly, i am not proud, i will take production value as a stand-in for "good" at this time

what if there was a good new agatha christie adaptation for me to watch right now. what then

i would say this even if iran didn't just elevate as leader a man whose father and wife were both killed in the initial strikes

i mean i don't think it's any more useful to take the iranian government at its word than to take the trump administration at its word but the us unilaterally pulling out of a combined assault on iran with israel does not seem likely to return us to a status quo ante, to me

calling "nonstandard syntax" in literature a mistake "like a.i. used to make" is going to make me joker

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
