I think if an interviewer says shit like this it should be understood and accepted practice to just get up and leave. what the fuck man

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 1d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

at some point I really think there needs to be some sort of large scale pushback on Valve for their complete abdication of responsibility in moderating steam forums to every individual developer regardless of whether or not they asked for it, allowing this tumour to completely fester.

5 people in lab coats hunched around a briefcase for twelve hours straight until one of them has the 2001 a space odyssey monolith epiphany to open the latches. fat stacks of cash burst out like the fake snake in a peanut can gag; everyone is screaming.

as you say, I'm not gonna toss out his entire body of work if one day he does dunk himself fully in dipshit juice like the
others, but I will be that little bit sadder for the future

he did direct the RP1 movie, which itself feeds a checklist nostalgia not unlike the selfish anti-reflective mindrot permeating the genAI cult, but it's one film from just before everything went super rancid, so this isn't really a "gotcha" as much as me declaring him "on thin fucking ice, mister"

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

anyone have a good "how to set up YouTube moderation/safety features" guide to recommend? The Algorithm has placed its gaze on one of my videos, and a trickle of shitheads has followed with it 🙄

my husband @kalebhorton.bsky.social hated the phrase “passed away” and had nothing but scorn for softening euphemisms in general. he was a firm believer in the comedy rule of threes, but only if the third thing can hit as a surprise. and he just died

My coffee table book, Open Circuits, with beautiful cross-section photos of electronics, is 25% off through the 12th. Use the super-secret discount code "SHOWOFF". What, you already have the book? BAM--you just thought of a friend who would enjoy a copy.

two images of a small cathode ray tube. the upper image shows that it is nearly as small as a ball-point pen, starting out at the same diameter but flaring out into a tiny screen that is about 10mm in diameter. the bottom image shows the same CRT cut in half, with a complex array of small metal electron lenses.

Paperback Paradise @paperbackparadise.bsky.social · 1d

Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, he’s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

HOW DID DRACULA GET RICH?

Selling Frankenstein’s Feet Pix Online
By Herman Baldsack

Dracula made a fortune off of Frankenstein's feet without his permission and he is a disgusting piece of garbage for that

Reports of Dolly Parton's eminent demise have been greatly exaggerated, apparently! Frieda should probably calm down some.

In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

Literally just an even dorkier version of "red lightsabers are cooler"

Hadn't heard of the beast cameo tho, ew. It's so nice that we reward our scummiest dead-eyed weirdos this way

I wonder how much this current landscape could be transformed if DLsite et al implemented a little "summary" tab/popup on their list pages

(would require them to see the problem obvs)
