Somebody made a gif of Jared Harris casually walking off the ledge of a building in A HOUSE OF DYMAMITE in case anyone needs an alternative to that GAME OF THRONES gif.

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

If something happens to me, I don't blame Iran as much as President Shit For Brains for starting all this for no reason and not even planning how they were going to get us out of it. I also blame whoever voted to put this guy in office again. Any blood that gets spilled is gonna be on their hands.

I don't agree with all of this, but I do think the Academy (and many in the film world) do take on a rather threatened stance of someone who isn't white being granted auteur status.

Coogler's my easy choice among the nominees. I would've given it to PTA twice before, but not for this film.

New: Gov. Polis’ office has told lawmakers that he will hold off on intervening in Tina Peters’ sentence until after the Colorado Court of Appeals weighs in. Delay comes as every Democratic state lawmaker signs a letter urging Polis not to reduce her prison term: www.denverpost.com/2026/03/11/t...

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

Gotta get rid of "vulnerable". We don't want any of those fancy three-syllable words confusing anyone.

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.

The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense. The technology is increasing the speed, density and complexity of work rather than reducing it, a new analysis of 164,000 people’s work activity shows.

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense.:

"It’s not that AI doesn’t create efficiency. It’s that the capacity it frees up immediately gets repurposed into doing other work, and that’s where the creep is likely to happen."

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

The QT fanboys who tied themselves into pretzels to convince themselves his ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD novel and his book of film criticism were good now face their greatest challenge yet.

The ruling class is in a permanent tax revolt, but not because its members fear higher taxes. They successfully evade taxes set at any level. What worries them is the proliferation of public goods, which tends to enhance the independence of the working classes.

This phrase is so gross. The violence, the racism and pure ignorance behind assuming an enemy force lacks any agency.

Real fix your hearts or die hours.

There's a limit to finding genuine revolutionary ideas in something that also greatly contributed to an infantilization of a significant percentage of the population.

We’re nearing the 6th anniversary of both the week everything went to shit due to Covid and the Gal Gadot β€œImagine” Zoom music video. Please be thoughtful to those who still suffer PTSD from those traumatic events.

It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on

People who look to the Star Wars prequels to illustrate current politics are no different than Harry Potter fans who have been spending the last couple of decades doing similar shit with those books.

Please, go see another movie.

This is the same thing I have to explain with AI. Ideas and intentions matter little. It’s how you execute those ideas that matters most.

Imagine if he had been a good enough screenwriter or director to tell that story in a way that would have been effective.

The admin is also stepping back from changes to covid vaccine policy out of fear it will hurt them in the midterms. Which we should read as they plan to ramp all of their unpopular policies back up AFTER the midterms. No matter the outcome. archive.today/knNkZ

Considering they’re currently running the world into the ground, I’m going to suggest these guys are not very bright despite the news media being put on constant marching orders to make them appear smart to justify letting them rule over the rest of us.
