a line from a movie that plays over and over in my head is Cate Blanchett as Queen Elizabeth saying "Am I to be made of stone? Must I be touched by nothing?" I think of it whenever someone tells me "that was not an appropriate time to laugh," which is a semi-regular occurrence

instead of a fanboy the ideal creative director for lucasfilm is someone who doesn’t give a shit about star wars but does care about making good movies and TV

Really loved this piece. It's time to talk like the grownups we are.
TODAY on @theflytrapmedia.com, and unpaywalled for all, I'm talking about algospeak, cuteification, and the implications of softening language about hard things.

Gently, some of y’all have got to recover from being called “weird” in high school and start blocking people instead of trying to convince them you’re not. Be weird and distance yourself from the people who are too embarrassed to be weird themselves.

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks!

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

woke up to news yesterday that we'd captured a president. I guess I didn't know that was a goal we were working towards. the wording was funny to me. "we got a president." ok. will we capture more? bring them all to new york? build a house to put them in? televise it? who's next?

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.
