Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Tron (the 80's original) is notably a movie about how a fast-evolving computer program gobbles up everything it can find, financed & protected by an executive who stole a whole library of artistic creations from a small-time creator & labeled them as his own for profit.

Yeah that was my takeaway from Regina King's performance in "If Beale Street Could Talk"
"Wow, she showed such range between grit and vulnerability, but how many men has she slept with??"

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

The real magic trick that tokusatsu plays is all the metallic clicking sound effects they lay over the actors swinging plastic toys around to make them feel somewhat like legitimate gear

Even if Bluesky does go pear-shaped, that doesn’t mean I’m going back to Twitter any more than Facebook starting to suck meant that I was going to revive my old MySpace.

Growing up in church and the Christian school system, I did watch a lot of media that was connected to Focus on the Family, like McGee and Me.

This episode was about how horror movies are bad. (I now watch a lot of horror movies.)

VHS cover art for the McGee and Me episode "The Not-So Great Escape," featuring Nick on the cover in front of some bushes and holding a walkie-talkie, while McGee hangs onto the antenna on top. Foreground has an insert image of Nick at the movies with his friend Louis, wearing 3-D glasses.

At this point 50% of my FB feed is comprised of entirely made up shit like this. I'm a historian who studies politics and media, so it's easy for me to be a critical consumer of this schlock. But for the average consumer, this sort of social media is like putting a stick blender in one's brain.

None of this happened, none of these pictures are real, AI slop like this makes the world dumber and worse and the companies peddling it 24/7 are destroying civilization.

screenshot of AI slop on Facebook spreading lies and fake photos about Bob Dylan and Joan Baez getting married in Sante Fe with Paul McCartney and Steven Tyler (?!?) performing at their wedding.

Trump and right-wing media's attempt to rehabilitate Ghislaine Maxwell and ignore the Epstein files is not going to end well. It's because they have spent a decade radicalizing their own MAGA base that won't forget or let it go.
