The new episode of "Cinemattire with @thesamantharei.bsky.social" seems especially important now. Learning the language of oppression can help you see it when it happens! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwJV...

Star Trek Minus Context @nocontexttrek1.bsky.social · Sep 3

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in a room off ship somewhere, there's railings and cork board maybe and some plants in the background. We see 2 Starfleet officers standing but they're wearing the uniforms from Original Series films, the red ones with the delta badge belt and lil flaps that open off after hours to be more casual like. Both are kind of standing at attention like they're giving a report on something v important and have a serious look. They're speaking to someone off camera but we can only see their shadow on the wall. Closed caption reads, "It was controlling the balls."

I really loved it. It felt retro in all the best ways and was simply a lot of fun to watch!

How Superman Zoomed Past So Many Other Summer 2025 Movies In Quality

A strange sense of apathy permeated a lot of summer 2025 blockbusters. Granted, each summer moviegoing season brings plenty of sequels and tentpoles operating under only a desire to make moolah. Yet recent projects like Jurassic World Rebirth, How to... Read more...

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

Were you picturing that they'd take a multi-billion dollar nuclear reactor and... prop it up against a random rock?

I'm betting once they see how much it costs per kg to launch something to the moon, they'll take some time to strongly consider exactly how many light bulbs need to be lit at the same time.

I'm convinced that Grok is trained not only on Elon's twitter feed, but his personal correspondence as well. Ask it the right question and I bet you could coax out his real opinion about anything or his email password.

Somewhere out there is at least one guy who is disappointed over and over again every time they hear the news mention a "Mom Domme-y" and it's not what they were expecting.
