The show that created tech to cut budgetary corners, had its hero use logic to destroy AI overlords on an almost monthly basis, and whose main method of transport not only created good and evil clones but was a literal gateway to an evil parallel universe, I doubt the accuracy of his interpretation
can't wait to watch the heartwarming tale of the little automated killchain who believed in itself
Poster: "There are lots of people who aren't fully conscious. Like how a child isn't fully conscious. Because their mind has been abraded by our self-destructive and anti-social society. These people lack an internal life. They see the emptyness of AI as a reflection of their own soulless minds. A third of American adults aren't capable of abstract reasoning. A similar amount have no visual imagination. If I ask you to think of a red square, you see a red square in your mind. The visual centers of your brain fire, producing an image of a red square. A third of American adults see nothing. I get why saying a third of Americans aren't fully human is unpleasant. There's a long history of that sort of language being used to target vulnerable minorities. But if you just accept that fact, everything about the last 50 years of American politics suddenly makes a whole lot more sense." Me: Please fuck all the way off with this horse shit. Poster: "A hit dog will holler."
I’m critical of AI, but let’s be clear, this kind of anti-AI nihilistic pessimism is still just eugenics. Being unable to visualize a red square has nothing to do with the value of your inner life or status as a human being. This is edgelord bullshit.
Never forget they made Jimmy Carter sell his family peanut farm.

Trump bought Netflix and Warner Bros bonds at height of bidding war with Paramount

Less work in an already labor saturated environment.
Likely a ton of stuff in pre-pro or production will be canceled or delayed. Disney, Sony, and Universal are going to produce while Paramont and WB are overlevereged.
Heard recently: "They don't know it but Hollywood creatives are on the firing line..." regarding the Skydance/Paramount/WB merger.
Oh they know. The Disney/Fox merger cut a lot of production- this is going to cost more. Skydance had to borrow way too much to increase anything in production.
And apparently they're also in the Epstein Files.
Unlikely, I know, but I would love to see European teams refuse to participate if this happens.
Nixon LOVED Edith Efron's shoddy 1971 book "The News Twisters." It played a significant role in the creation of the "liberal mainstream media" narrative that became an article of faith in conservative political culture beginning in the 1970s. youtu.be/zzMDEEQCYcE?...
Nixon had Chuck Colson buy up every copy he could find of Effron's book so as to get it on the NYTimes bestseller list. It worked. For years after, Nixon staffers recall tripping over boxes crammed with copies of "The News Twisters." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
"Trump is just doing what Obama did, & no one complained back then!" Given that this is a central talking point MAGA is using to reach people outside their hardcore base, it would be useful if a proper journalistic outlet addressed this comparison in an evidence-based way. I haven't seen one yet.
#Yellowjackets is a coming of age series about a psychopath that peaked in high school. Like the Wonder Years for 90's kids.
Gonna go place a bet on Polymarket on the likelihood that Trump Administration officials are insider- trading on Polymarket, and watch the entire global economy succumb to a divide by zero error.
Yeah the thing about Mr. Rogers is his show was never political.
hello Mr Vice President this is your economist speaking I am advising you to keep using this metaphor
New Rule:
If you're going to blame something on the writers, actually tell us what about the writing was bad.
Saying the writing is lazy without telling us what about it is lazy is - well - lazy.
Polls show that 70% of Americans oppose the war in Venezuela. But at this CBS News staff meeting, that number feels much smaller.
“Oh but if Democrats did that Republicans would just vote it down, wouldn’t convict and would rally their base to defend Trump’s crimes.”
Yeah, okay, make them do that then.

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape
I am stuck between how much I hate all this for the people who have their work stolen and how much I am frustrated by people who believe they should be able to do absolutely nothing to verify where something is coming from and still be confident it’s going to work.

Gayming Icon and LGBTQ+ video game pioneer, Rebecca Heineman, has sadly passed away after a short, tough fight with aggressive cancer.

I suspect every billionaire involved in this crap has leveraged things so they'll profit from a bust as well, so they don't care.
Scam industry, scam economy, scam administration.
Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.
Good reminder that the Catholic League is just one very odd guy calling himself the Catholic League
So Matt Bomer in White Collar was just accuracy...
