Incredibly sad news. The Egyptian was my favorite theater in Seattle and I had so many amazing experiences there. The last time I was there before it shut down I got to hear Thelma Schoonmaker wax poetic about the brilliant Michael Powell. A real loss for the city.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Sort of been struggling to get into the writing headspace lately, but some thoughts on WEAPONS - a fascinating film that, despite its at times clumsy execution, manages to be a very effective snapshot of the state of America. stepprinted.com/weapons-wher...

I watched a woman on a plane spend at least three hours on a New York to Seattle flight asking ChatGPT for advice on how to buy rugs. I may spend the rest of my life pondering what she possibly could have been getting out of that exchange.

I understand that there's a contingent of people who for some reason think that asking a wildly unreliable LLM a question is preferable to just using a search engine but I genuinely can't fathom what the appeal of any of these stupid image gen things is.

It's so wild how much things have shifted in just a couple of years - the phone tech race seemed almost entirely focused on getting the most high quality camera possible in your pocket, and now the ads are just like "look at this dumb worthless junk you can make"

NIN fans being all shocked Pikachu that the film score is a film score instead of appreciating that ARES is essentially Ghosts VII for their dance era

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

I do not understand the mindset that makes liberals express sympathy for someone who would have absolutely celebrated if the roles were reversed, like bro, have some god damned self respect

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
