Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

you can save so much money by watching birds or identifying cool sticks, not because you need sticks but because your brain needs time to pick out neat stuff and we've worked very hard to make that expensive

it's wild to think that about one CEO ago ago, people were looking at Google and Apple as brands they wore in their personal lives as badges of honour and in the space of less time than it takes a cicada to mature the consensus is now that they are the enemy of public safety
it is absolutely the tech companies fault that people now assume they’re doing something evil and sneaky even when they actually aren’t (regarding the latest Google kerfuffle)
like, no kidding that people have zero willingness to cut big tech the benefit of the doubt anymore

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

they made being killed by technofascism seem so exciting in the 90s. sleek chrome androids crushing skulls. what it actually looks like is a bunch of extras from The Office who have been pavlovian-condition'd by a website to call you slurs if you stand between them and a vending machine for blowjobs

Spinning "a player who was expected to be drafted in the 1st/2nd round fell into the 5th round" as a Donald Trump Success Story is actually a really good example of how things work around there

Deep in my heart I do not believe that Jurassic Park would pose substantially different or more challenging security issues than any well stocked zoo.
