It’s better than 4, even with its lower technical qualities, it’s at least trying for something. Watched “New Nightmare” last night, finishing off the 4K boxset and it’s utterly pristine!

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:
It’s a sign of the times that looking at my Letterboxd I literally seem to be watching nothing but horror movies. I find it soothing.

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.
I just spent 10 minute trying to convert decimal to binary in a networking exam only to discover the correct answer has a typo.

The scary thing is that I'm sure there are AI weirdos who look at this and think "We cracked it!"

This makes my skin want to crawl off my body. It is profoundly wrong. It's so deeply unnatural and unpleasant on a human level.
AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!
There’s no need to respect someone who constantly engages in bad faith. They’ve given away any validly they had and it only gives them some. Just ignore them like a Boomer parent ignores their children.

The brutal reality is that America is a place where having a job—even two or three jobs—doesn't guarantee that your most essential human needs will be met.

And now it's a place where millions of families are losing food assistance the same month as Thanksgiving.

Conservative individualism in a nutshell: the same people who said we need mass deportation so we can take care of “our own” are cheering on the suspension of SNAP because now they don’t want other people to receive “handouts.” They proudly hate other people. It’s a murderous, anti-society ideology.

Whenever I see someone try to rehab Sadako's reputation, I think to myself, I'll be surprised if she comes out of this well
THE RING asks, did we never question if the tragically murdered ghost child had bad vibes, or was just unpleasant to be around?
