It's so interesting that the AI boosters have popped up asking if Bluesky is ready to accept the good word of prophet Sam Altman yet, at the EXACT time that the timeline is lit up with the "OpenAI says they can't be blamed for driving a teen to suicide because the TOS says you can't kill yourself"

“Although I’d been told I was just in remission, I really thought I was cured after they did that godawful adaptation of Death on the Nile where they gave Poirot’s moustache its own backstory. I didn’t even want to re-read the book to point out all the ways they’d ruined it.”

My contribution to the discourse around "should writers be paid or should you steal their work" is: Yes, we should be paid.

The only “hoarders” in this economic equation are the billionaire tech bros hoarding personal wealth. Working class folks now getting called greedy for avoiding needless spending that would make those guts even richer? Gimme a break!

-Do whatever it takes to ensure Gunn is given as much budget, support and teams to make a solid DC powerhouse.
-Reboot Marvel. Flat out, just hit the full reset.
And most importantly: Fund. New. Stories!

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The media doesn't treat the Trump regime's allegiances with neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes as antisemitism, but Zohran's belief in Palestinian liberation is treated as antisemitism.
It's completely backwards and insane. Zohran will protect American Jews; the fascists will target American Jews.

WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Additional, separate thought here; This thing is the premier example of not understanding a genre/setting. Elon wanted so bad to make a "cyberpunk" aesthetic real. But the core aesthetic isn't something shiny. It's worn down, broken and just a sign of corps gone wrong...
