it is so fucking evil maybe being brutalized by the police makes me too much of a baby to watch this!

dj vulcan barbie @spacedaddy.bsky.social · 2m

the point of this movie is so evil the fact that it is inspired by rodney king riots and bigelow says "i had to make this movie to show that the system never fails!"

sorry cool i will make a video about this b/c i havent slept and kathryn bigelow caused me trauma with this
also
this review

hrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmm. i think kathryn bigelow is a great technical director and the pov camera stuff in this movie is incredible. i think it’s a good thriller and a fantastic idea and i wish it was more of a hit. i even think i really like the script. i just don’t think i like kathryn bigelow’s work. i wish she weren’t so fascinated with depicting grotesque, militarized violence against the marginalized, especially people of color, and if you’re gonna try and “that’s the point”-me you can kick rocks. i don’t like it! have watched plenty of other filmmakers follow similar threads without feeling my stomach sink or sensing a perverse sort of a fascination in the violence like a child magnifying ants in the sun. aside from that, i think the final scene of this movie with the cops is… bad? both from a sociological standpoint and a narrative one. also the editing on the confession scene made me want to scream, what’s going on there. wonder how many times bradley cooper has had to clarify he’s not in this movie.

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better

Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

I dunno, "there's a tape of the cops that could bring down everything" feels a little dated.

But Strange Days still whips, slaps and bangs.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

Certainly! That was my mistake. I didn't realize that the target I selected was an elementary school, not a self propelled artillery piece. The next missile target I select should be correct.

we’ve gone so far past “sex workers are the canaries in the coal mine” re: internet freedom, to an internet that’s run off and robbed from all the sex workers in order to replace them with planet-destroying simulations of sex workers

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

The tariffs aren’t gonna do any of that coffee trade has always been incredibly unfair like fair trade is a joke, direct trade is only better if you know the person even then to have a coffee plantation you are also already on another level of wealth
