Truly, I am thankful,

I understand

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

![Edited screenshot from an episode of Star Trek TOS. It's a close up cropped picture of Doctor Leonard 'Bones' McCoy stands on the bridge of the Enterprise, looking up and to the side with one eyebrow raised and his mouth slightly open in an expression of puzzled bewilderment. A caption has been added towards the bottom of the image in all caps white text: "[bisexual confusion]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tq75texcyq2kqs4ivjr55bor/bafkreibtgf6l2t367uf75htq2uaeroonxbc754vn2gjvyvsyzzc3mq4ot4@jpeg)

You can make art.
The biggest step isn't getting good at art, it's being willing to make art that doesn't match the idea of "good art" in your head.
Making a lot of imperfect art is an essential step toward making perfect art; a counterproductive goal you shouldn't have anyway.
Just make art.

Speaking as a longtime Paul Thomas Anderson aficionado, Sinners was a way more important film — and a much smarter film — than One Battle After Another, which was entertaining at times but also full of misogynoir and bad revisionist readings of liberation movements

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

Just realized that it’s only a matter of time before my 4 year old learns to read and soon I’m going to have to be real careful about what I’m reading and writing around him 😅

The best part of writing? Is when the whole point of the story finally comes to you and everything clicks into place, and you realize this is why those bread crumbs came to you, this is the "what" of it, and you get the cosmos revealed to you once again. The closest thing to magic there is

In my opinion, the best Stephen King adaptations start with a slow paced first act, where everything is “normal” but something is undefinably off. Bad adaptations skip this step because they think audiences will think it’s boring, but in fact it’s the scariest part, where the tension builds

TOS didn't have as many examples of friendly cooperation and pure diplomacy as TNG. (Even when Kirk gives a speech at the end of an episode he often blows up a computer at the same time.)
But TOS is undefeated at relentlessly dissecting the abuse of power and its consequences.

Like fuck her, it’s not sincere, even if it is I have no grace for her, but moving back toward a world where it’s seen as a political liability to gleefully be an atrocious person would be Good Actually

Literally stunned that someone like MTG is forcing herself to apologize, of all things. Indicative of a political wind blowing away from performative cruelty in politics because she is a weather-vane politician if ever there was one.

What we are seeing is a replay of the surrender on Covid protections because it was going to impact the wealth class in a way that would make it harder to accrue wealth without consequences.
Liberals already made the choice to kill millions to maintain the wealth class status quo.

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.
