Does AMC nationally screening ANNIE HALL in honor of Diane Keaton mean we could actually see a disc release of the 4K restoration or are we waiting for a certain someone else to die?

Piping in while people shit talk a bunch of major artists just to say “all the people you listed are terrific”, a feeling that only gets more relatable as I get older.

Writing a dissertation really does feel like a humiliation ritual a lot of the time. Rarely has such a rigorous intellectual pursuit made me feel so dumb and incapable.

Check high school science teachers. For some reason, a lot of science stuff was put out on the format and some teachers kept those things

Please nobody tell professional writer praising professional journalists Caitlin Flanagan what "out of whole cloth" means

Not now but soon enough, there will be major stories about The Free Press being the creation of three female founders who constructed a hugely successful digital business out of whole cloth.

One thing about the whole Bari Weiss CBS takeover that gives me comfort: yeah, it's terrible and disgusting, but who out there in the world under the age of 70 forms their opinions on the world based on what they're saying on CBS News?

Folks, we're receiving new updates on this story as it breaks. Apparently, and I can't believe I'm hearing this, the new TRON movie has underperformed at the box office.

Gentleman Doofus @gentledoofus.bsky.social · 7d

*touches ear piece* The news desk is receiving shocking reports that the new TRON movie is visually slick and has a cool score but is narratively unsatisfying. Our entire team is on the scene to analyze this breaking news.

If you use Chat GPT to romance someone, not only is it deeply dishonest and pathetic, I think you can make the case that it's a rape-adjacent level of false representation and violation of trust.

A charitable reading of this is that insecurity leads folks to turn to a supposedly magical, confident advisor, like a cyber-Cyrano. A less charitable reading is that a lot of people have gone completely insane.

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

The fact that people treat him like the fatuous little weasel he is means that Vance will never be able to pick up the Trump mantle.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

My apartment complex sent out an email about observing Indigenous Peoples Day, so I can rest a little easier knowing they’re woke as hell.

The typical Hollywood screenplay is actually a 4 act structure according to scholar Kristin Thompson, and she makes a very compelling case

Feeling more and more disconnected from my peers and more and more like this place is my only social outlet. Probably healthy and normal, no cause for concern.
