A tough, but worthy sit: Looking for Mr. Goodbar. For my money, Diane Keaton's best performance. A deft comedian, to be sure, but there's nothing comic about either film or character. Theresa is an essentially good, caring person, which makes it easier to sympathize with her and her...choices.

How to spot AI videos - animals on trampolines #bunnies #dog #bear #bunny #ai Bunnies, bears, raccoons, dogs, cats, and kangaroos are having a “security camera” moment in the AI video world. Why is this and how do you spot the AI ones versus the real ones? There are plenty of ways!Smoothness, noise, dynamic range, object permanence, clocks, movement - there are lots of ways and it just depends on what works for you.

There are a number of accounts on Tiktok and IG that do extremely important work walking viewers through AI-generated slop videos like this and help them think critically about what they are seeing, how to spot it, etc. It’s a new era of critical media literacy instruction and I am happy to see it

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 18h

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

Firearms dealers say the president’s gun-friendly policies have actually hurt their sales. “People have a tendency to want what they feel is under threat, and this administration has put them at ease a little bit,” one gun store owner said.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
