Joining the chorus: Rise of Skywalker. A baffling work; so bad it completely killed any lingering affection I had for
Star Wars as a property.

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

To this day the nearest I can get to figuring out why the Bean Dad thing went down the way that it did is because John Roderick was a power user on an older incarnation of Twitter and didn’t realize that the posting meta had changed out from underneath him.
Like we all lived through Bean Dad, what the fuck was that, I can’t explain any specific part of it, it was like a vault in Fallout that went haywire

I think it is bad that our political class has engineered all of society to cater to business goblins and encourage everyone from childhood to aspire to become business goblins

This is always such a transparent salespitch for their own work, it's so funny

“More than fifty years ago” is such a funny cutoff point. Yes, Gen Alpha will be completely baffled by anything made before the 1970s.

Born on this day in 1518, Mary Tudor. An unhappy woman. But at least she had great clothes! Here painted in 1554 by Hans Eworth.

The right is allowed to personally dismiss and even leverage the power of the state against proven technologies like vaccines, renewables and trains but it’s a crisis when the left refuses to embrace unproven tech like the CSAM plagiarism machine

“why do you hate technology” as though “technology” were some discrete entity divorced entirely from the context of what it does and what it creates, rather than a category so broad as to constitute reality itself

I was mixed the first time I watched What Happened Was, but when it got restored and re-released I revisited it and recognized it as one of the great American ‘90s films, and subtly one that turned the post-Tarantino glut of indie talkiness against itself to illustrate how talking loud says nothing.

Oh man, RIP Tom Noonan. Great in everything, but truly entrancing in Manhunter. It’s not just that he manages to be as tragic as he is terrifying; he seems to switch from a human being to something more—and less—before your eyes.

People who use AI for work always thinking they’re throwing down a massive dunk when they’re like “ho ho can your Outlook order your email according to importance while you’re asleep? I didn’t think so!” and it’s like “I use my brain to do that and it takes 30 seconds” and they get real mad.

Bill Watterson deserves a lot of credit for being a major communicator of the new science of dinosaurs that emerged in the 70s and 80s. His vibrant, naturalistic dinosaurs introduced the new paradigm to comics page addicted kids for years before Jurassic Park canonized it in the public imagination

What We Can Know About Thunderman doesn’t hit quite the same once you realize that its pastiches of E. Nelson Bridwell and Jeannette Kahn are the rank cruelty that Moore is so often accused of rearing its ugly head.

If I had to bet on the main thing that has radicalized people against "ai," and I am talking about the way that branding is CURRENTLY BEING USED, not whatever specialized ML utility you may have found for it, it would be in apps and tech they already use being made worse and/or inoperable by it
