If the US manages to pull out of this spiral and retain some semblance of democracy, I think it’s reasonable to give every President one publicly funded movie / TV season green light per term. They can, in part, campaign on it.
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.

Another step towards Dead Internet Theory
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

I now spend 10% of my life confirming my identity.
Interestingly most of it involves confirming with my phone. Which means if someone else has my phone, they’re more ‘me’ than I am from the perspective of the world.

This is indistinguishable from being a trailer for a high concept psychological horror movie. Which is fitting because a likely outcome would be AI grandma convincing the 10 year old to end his life in order to join her in AI heaven.

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:
1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people
2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

What actually happened in the Scouring of the Shire was one of the Hobbits took a boatload of foreign money to buy up domestic land, industrialize it for profit, skim off the top for himself & his outside funder, and brought in a small militia to keep the larger populace in check.
Elon Musk is a racist and wants racial violence in the UK
Elon Musk: "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland, Ireland, are living their lives quietly [Like The Hobbits in The Shire] — until one day, a thousand people show up in your village of 500 out of nowhere and start raping the kids."
