There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Just heard an ad on a major podcast that started “If you’re a custodial supervisor at a local high school” and I’m not but I chose to keep listening anyway even though I wasn’t wanted.

The Mariners will be an out from the World Series and the game will be called on account of civil war. This is our (Mariners fans, Americans) curse.

If you want to free a caged bird, ask an autistic person what they’re interested in right now. If you ask follow-up questions, they’ll sing.

This is a small thing but it’s interesting that while they’re so obsessed with being more “masculine”, they’ve abandoned any pretense of another classically masculine trait: honor.

Don’t play as many games as I used to, but I’ve thought about A Dark Room more than any other game over the last decade

(honest question) what are the “good” video games? artistically i mean, not in a “i enjoyed this escapist slop” kind of way

James @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social · 10d

Well. It's not Red Dead Redemption 2, but it's like one of three video games I'd genuinely consider good.

The jumping spider pet market is booming, particularly with women. And for many, the journey to spider enthusiast began as an arachnophobe.

Do you think DLaw going out was a major contributor to the defensive falloff in the second half? Felt like the Cardinals were getting way more out of their run game.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.
