Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

If I had any dealings with EA I'd be getting out, and scrubbing my computer now.

"If you believe, as Ellison does, that Americans will be better off when they are subjected to 'supervision at all times,' then buying microvideo platforms, enterprise software, streaming services, cable networks, gaming developers, & internet publishers is just buying supervision capacity."

Also, no one who was there when digital drafting came in in the early 90s, who experienced the incredible disruption would say AI is the same. So called AI has not got a killer application.

Last year I started commissioning artists to draw pieces based on songs I like, and ahead of Thought Bubble I commissioned Anna Readman (one of my favorite cartoonists) to draw a piece based on “Train Song” by Vashti Bunyan (one of the two best songs of all time imho):

A question that I'm often asked goes something like, "Is it great to create content that shows girls how strong they can be?" YES. It is an honor to have girls who read my books or watch my shows to feel empowered. But...
IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR BOYS TO SEE GIRLS AS MAIN CHARACTERS TOO.

It’s fun and not at all disturbing that the fascists and tech oligarchs who control this country are all absolutely marinated and cooked in brain rotting conspiracy theories and pseudo-ideological drivel.

I, a Londoner had that on my bagel from a fashionable NYC place and super disappointed. Too dry too salty, not enough of anything. Mean. I expected chopped herring as per London's East End beigel bake. It was not. Not great imho.
