I appreciate a Quisling reference as much as the next guy, but I think of him more as a Pierre Laval, a born political opportunist.
This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

I used “Punishment Park” in class for years. You want to get a student discussion going? Show them a Peter Watkins film - as provocative now as when they were made. RIP

Peter Watkins: an English film-making revolutionary from a tradition of uncompromising radicalism

RIP Adam Greenberg
He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

After ploughing billions into AI they’re still desperately trying to find some use for it. I can’t wait for the bubble to burst and all that VC money to be lost like tears in rain.
Musk: X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. ...the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts.
Brace for another wave of x refuges
