The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

#IfIHadLegsIdKickYou was looking fine as a very black satire but it gets way over the top as it goes, and it becomes Too Much, to the point it takes me out.

i feel like "infinitely generating AI waifus for a reasonably affluent demographic" hoping to skate by on whales handing your machine tens of thousands of dollars is a lot less viable than people think it is. this works for gachas explicitly because it doesn't require per-use maintenance costs

#Bulk was another of those that make you wonder what they were smoking & it's all meta, about cinema & storytelling. Unlike the "diamond" one, tho, this one was not headache inducing & the excuse plot was more coherent, so I was able to enjoy it & laugh along.

Due to complex copyright reasons they can’t use the spider man set online so they had to come up with a set that’s exactly the same but with none of the spider man stuff, so they made a fantasy equivalent for the bagel.

And film #3 was #honeybunch, a film that took its time to really kick in, but once it did, I had this fresh if not slightly morbid charm, that excelled once the picture became clear alongside our memory troubled lead. The theme of devotion is a huge aspect executed well.

#HoneyBunch gave me a bad feeling with its beginning, but it ended up actually being a highly enjoyable thriller. Highly recommended, though the ending goes on for too long, & the parallelism epilogue was not needed at all. #Sitges2025

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · Dec 10

POV: you've committed the perfect crime, disposed of the weapon and and hidden the body, but now you arrive back at your pasture to find you are well and truly fucked.

Detective Columbo stands behind a wooden table with two irregular cow tools in it. He holds a 3rd cow tool and looks at it with his other hand scratching his head. He says, "Gee these tools are really something, aren't they? Y'know, my wife, she says they lack sophistication. But I just think that adds to the charm... Say... Don't they usually come in a set of four?"

Caption below the panel reads, "Cowlumbo tools."

Vale, ya he leído lo de las deportaciones, los "errores" en las listas de los liberados y la prohibición de celebraciones. Es obscena tantísima maldad. Y hay gente que aplaude el "plan de paz"...esto es solo un punto y seguido en la humillación y el exterminio.

He visto a los rehenes israelíes reunirse con sus familias pero no a los palestinos reunirse con las suyas. ¿No hay imágenes? ¿O es que ya los están borrando del mapa para que solo se hable de los vencedores?

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.
