Everyone should read this -- @anildash.com explains the very human why of how so much of this horror has come to be.

None of it is inevitable. We can choose something better.

Eric Adams Says His Next Gig Is Fighting Antisemitism With Cryptocurrency How? Don't ask.

Eric Adams is going to use cryptocurrency to fight antisemitism. Eric Adams is going to use samurai swords to fight food waste. Eric Adams is going to use 100 rubber duckies to fight prostate cancer. I would believe literally any combo of words hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-s...

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Hidden Door is heading to the stars!

This month, we're unveiling a new slate of science fiction adaptations. Each world is a doorway into a different kind of future - from mind-linked revolutionaries to lonely androids and wisecracking aliens.

Unsure about how to vote on the NYC ballot proposals? I wrote up my big thread about how I voted and why in a blog post! Packed with links to all the different voter guides and sources I delved into! Whether you vote the way I do or not, I hope this helps you decide!

We had a ton of fun at the Toronto International Film Festival! Highlights were the AI on the Lot popup on Saturday, meeting with partners, and folks making the films we love.
