They truly want you to believe this shit is inevitable and actually better than human endeavor but the one surefire thing that can stop it is not agreeing to the first two things. That’s all! That also means not willingly feeding it. It’s not difficult to avoid using it!

the thing about this is that it would make a huge chunk of New Yorkers who consider free curb space to store their cars to be an inalienable right absolutely nuclear-level lose their shit, but also that group of people voted 95% for cuomo or sliwa anyway

I totally understand brand guidelines getting locked up but I kind of love periods before when a brand sort of gets to explore and iterate and shake around to figure itself out.

And...we're live!

I teach film on a 20 foot screen and I don’t think there is a strong argument for 4k. 1080 looks amazing.

The difference in my editorial experience in 2010 with my first book (shout out to Rochelle Bourgault my editor from Rockport) and my follow up book in 2019 was wild. That industry is, uh, different

two story gray brownstones covered in snow. You can just make out the parked cars in front in their snow.

General winter is the strongest general.

The message for both should be "It's not going away, but it's not too late to make using it desperately uncool and pathetic."

Does Anybody Want This? AI Fights, Fantasies and Fictions It is, once again, joever. A viral 15-second clip of an AI generated fight between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt has “spooked Hollywood”, spurred Disney to legal action and had Deadpool screenwriter Rhett...

@tansyg.bsky.social hosts one of the best podcasts about movies out there and I particularly enjoyed this post about AI and cinema.

AI will definitely change VFX! But the carrier bag there is empty for creating story.

Jet exhaust!!!!!! It looks like the east river helipad so maybe just heli exhaust but yes that’s it. So you gotta break out the Pennies for a helicopter now I guess.

What I need people to understand is when legislators argue that professors should teach more and research less, it's not because they think our research is actually worthless. It's because they don't want anyone to be able to develop or disseminate expertise that goes against their party line.

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress.

The referendum will take place on April 21.

The Muppet sideways eye meme. The average person only owns four bicycles in their life.

From Powerlessness to Power We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”

I read it three times. I didn't know about his personal life at the time, and honestly there are a lot of things in there that still resonate with me. I was just telling someone to build a wall at midnight.

This is why we are burdened with pickleball now:

I am once again reminding you that instead of talking shit about Ms Rachel, simply talk shit about Blippi instead. nobody will argue with you

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

"Have you denounced MAGA and called for them to cease their repeated assassination attempts?"

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

“My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time….”

We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover.

If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

A really vigorous hand grind before the building wakes up counts as a workout.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

same posted this earlier today.

Skeet from Bill Kristol @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch. 6:01 PM Jan 24, 2026
