I write screenplays and make YouTube videos about movies—usually from a leftist perspective. Yes, even the dinosaur movies. He/him.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?
A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Oh sure, "Live life to the fullest" is an inspiration message but when I say "There's no such thing as a life-expectancy anymore" people get angry.

I'm putting a team together. We're hitting the Disney vault.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

The first version of this post accidentally had my zip code in it, which isn't like a trade secret or anything (I live in Minneapolis), but it would definitely be one of the top 5 funniest ways to accidentally "dox" myself.

Help I only meant to send someone the "you got me there" reaction image but I accidentally sent the whole panel 🙃😅😈

I don't think "We need to quintuple productivity in order to stay competitive" is sending the message they think it is.

NEW: an internal Meta message we obtained tells employees on its metaverse team that they should be using AI to “go 5x faster”. That's 5 times faster, not 5 percent more www.404media.co/meta-tells-w...
Meta Tells Workers Building Metaverse to Use AI to ‘Go 5x Faster’
Meta says that its coders should be working five times faster and that it expects "a 5x leap in productivity."

Late-90s children's media paranoia was WILD. I sold my whole Pokemon card collection for a measly $100 in 2000 because all the moms at my church were making their kids cut them up ("'Gotta catch 'em all' encourages greed and addiction"), and I figured cashing out was the best bad option.

If you're wondering why these big companies would knowingly fund a doomed economic bubble like this, it's because capitalism is a zero-sum game: whoever survives the inevitable crash gets to consolidate the remnants of the old economy. This has happened at least 3 times in just my lifetime.

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."
America is now one big bet on AI
It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy

Hellraiser is another one I need to binge someday. If only for cultural literacy.

The truth is I'd rather have the TIME to watch 12 films than the money to buy them. I still haven't watched the Terminator series, the Fly series, or the Star Trek series since I bought the box sets over the last 3 years.

I have only seen one Friday the 13th movie (the very first one), didn't like it, and yet I came SO CLOSE to buying this box-set yesterday. It's going out of print so even if I didn't wind up liking the series I could still make my money back by re-selling it.

One more BA-thesis-masquerading-as-a-YouTube-video should fix things, though.

For sure. What really pierced the veil for me was when my own alma mater—which gave me a graduate degree with honors—rejected my grad school application. What in the world did they think they were preparing me for???

Still thinking about that professor at my college graduation party who raised a glass of champagne and shouted "Good luck getting jobs!"

"Grade school" isn't an insult, either. My public education (grades 1-12) was WAY cooler than my college education—which feels, in hindsight, more like a rent-seeking scheme than anything else. I was actually taught by more PhDs in high school than in college.

Getting real contemplative in the run-up to the 13th anniversary of my joining the workforce, in a field that has nothing to do with my formal education. I'll have spent one year longer in an unchosen field than I spent in all of grade-school.

I'm the guy who was surprised to find it in the @movieoubliette.bsky.social, because even though it was considered a box-office disappointment, it DID earn 3x what it cost to make at the box office, and almost everyone these days has at least HEARD of it.

Tron is really hard on first watch. Hard to tell what the stakes are or the goal is from scene to scene. But on *SECOND* watch, most of it is pretty clear. Despite a wildly anticlimactic ending, I think it's a fun little adventure film, on top of a game-changing effects reel.
