so apparently there's a review process for adding anything with Alfred Hitchcock's name to redbubble and it takes FOUR YEARS.

Still, anyone want an Alfred Hitchcock shower curtain?

Holy cow. This is a very entertaining / horrifying piece. TW: lots and lots of masturbation, natch.

harpers.org/archive/2025...

What are these gooners actually doing? Wasting hours each day consuming short-form video content. Chasing intensities of sensation across platforms. Parasocially fixating on microcelebrities who want their money. Broadcasting their love for those microcelebrities in public forums. Conducting bizarre self-experiments because someone on the internet told them to. In general, abjuring connective, other-directed pleasures for the comfort of staring at screens alone. Does any of this sound familiar? Do you maybe know some folks who get up to stuff like this? It’s true that gooners are masturbating while they engage in these behaviors. You could say that only makes them more honest.

The solution is actually quite simple - don't work for Paramount under any circumstances. Don't subscribe to Paramount. Don't pay to watch their films. Boycott these soulless fuckers. Let's see how well their AI works then.

David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:

“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

If history teaches us one thing
Never trust a man who would be king
Who seeks all power for himself
To burnish his prestige and wealth

And a nation born in revolution
Should know this offers no solution
For there can be no liberty
Where one man rules with impunity

If the multinational gas giants paid PRRT we could have better hospitals and schools, and more houses. The gas industry is ripping Australians off, and our governments are letting them.

So, Australia collects 43 cents per $100 of exported gas.

Qatar collects 46 DOLLARS per $100 of exported gas

And Norway collects 56 DOLLARS per $100 of exported oil

This is not just a piss take ... it's the out and out theft of our natural resources.

The federal government this week overhauled its superannuation tax reforms. Now the union movement says it should radically overhaul taxes on gas exports.

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

As of now there is nothing Albanese's govt has done that has changed the country in any structural way.

No change at all to how the fundamental debates of the nation are addressed.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

In English, the claim they have not mistreated any of the flotilla crew. In Hebrew, they admit to brutalising them. Australian citizens are telling DFAT they are being tortured, DFAT and the government have said nothing. Makes you wonder, does Albo put Israel head of Australians?
